I'll be the Brightest, You'll See

It's not You I Miss Anymore

The darkness was sickening, the silence was deafening and the smell brought tears to my eyes. I didn't know where I was, in fact it's been so long since I've had human contact that I'm beginning to think I'm dead. It's funny how the minute you can't keep a count of time you completely lose the concept of it. It's such a trivial thing to take for granted, I miss it.

The door opened and a small ray of light spilled into the room. "Scarlett, it's time to wake up." His shrill voice boomed through the empty room. Heavy footsteps echoed around the room as he got closer to me. "Are you going to do as I ask?" His silhouette stopped in front of me, making me curl up into a ball. "I guess not." He sighed. He bent down and grabbed me by the arm and dragged me out of the room.

It was a basement, I guess as I expected but still. The stairs leading up into a fairly normal looking house. "What are you gonna do to me?" I asked him. He turned to me and smiled.

"I need your help." He said bluntly. My eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

"With what?" I shook my head.

"I need you to help me kill my father." He said as if it was so simple.

"You want to kill your dad?" I asked in disbelief.

"Correct." Let me go and shoved me into a seat at the kitchen table.

"Why do you think I'm capable of murder?" I stared at him, completely bewildered.

He pulled a chair out and sat down across from me. "The thing is you've been here for 3 days now, it's given me a lot of time to reflect. Keeping you down there, listening to you cry every night. It did something to me." He frowned. Am I really supposed to buy this? "It's brought me to the realisation that maybe, maybe it was all my fathers fault." He told me.

"Why would this be your dads fault?" I spat at him.

"He killed my mother, he beat me up as a child and sent me away to live with my aunt and uncle. My childhood was grim and invariable. I'm lucky I even got to go to college." He explained, I watched him fidget with the table, tapping his fingers.

"If he killed your mom then isn't he in prison?" I questioned.

"Bastard got away with it. When I realised what he had done to my family I decided I wanted to study psychology, I wanted to understand why he did it." He rubbed his eyes underneath his glasses. "It made me go insane, all those hours and days wasted on trying to work out what was wrong with him, when all along it was just down to the fact that he's a sadistic bastard whom killed his own wife." Ben spat at me, his words made me flinch.

"Killing him won't change anything." I frowned at him. I don't want involved in this.

"It'll make me feel a lot better though." He grinned at me, which made me feel sick to my stomach.

"I won't be a part of it, you can lock me up in that hole for as long as you want. I'll never help you murder another human being." I crossed my arms over my chest, not backing down.

"Help me or I'll kill Vic." He said leaning forward.

"How do I even know you're serious?" I said softly. "You've blackmailed me for years now." I shook my head.

"I got you, every time I said. What makes you think I won't get him?" He smirked, clearly very proud of himself.

I can't put Vic's life at risk, I also can't put his fathers life at risk. What the fuck do I do? "Okay, I'll help you." I said bluntly.

"Good." He stood up and walked over to the fridge. He opened it and pulled out a bottle of water, placing it down in front of me and then staring me out. "Time to go back to your room Scarlett." He said in the most creepy voice I've ever heard in my life.

Vic's P.O.V

"Mike shut up." I told him for the millionth time. My head spun in all directions as I watched the sky above me. I don't even know where I am but it's not home, and home should be where Scarlett sleeps beside me.

3 days and nothing, the police are so useless. They can't even find her! It's like she's completely disappeared off the face of the earth, I just need her back. "Vic you need to slow down on the drinking." Mike told me as if he has some sort of authority over me.

"Mike fuck off." I laughed at him, this only angered him more. He bent down and pulled me to my feet. I looked around and realised we were in the driveway of the house. "Hey when did I get here?" I asked Mike curiously.

"You came out here about an hour ago to go and find Scarlett, we didn't think you'd pass out on the driveway so we let you do as you wished." Mike explained as he walked me into the house.

"I'm fine though Mike, just dandy." I said pushing him away from me. I stumbled on my own feet and fell onto the floor with a thud. Suddenly Jaime came running down the stairs.

"Is he still drunk?" He asked Mike.

"Yes I am." I announced and threw my hand in the air.

"What's your fucking issue Vic?" Jaime stormed over to me. "Why are you so drunk? What if we find Scarlett and you're too drunk out of your mind to even know? What then!?" He shouted at me. I pulled myself to my feet and stared at him.

"She's probably dead." I spat at him, wobbling from side to side. Jaime took a swing for me, his fist collided with my face. It made me fall backwards onto the floor again. My hand clutched my cheek and I began laughing.

"Listen here you piece of shit. Scarlett is out there scared out of her mind, waiting on us saving her life. You telling me that she's probably dead is fucking disgusting. If you don't fix yourself now then she could die. She needs you. Now grow the fuck up." Jaime told me in the most calm voice I've ever heard him use.

He turned on his heels and returned up the stairs. Mike stared at me from across the room and shrugged. They were right, I need get my head straight.
