"Already know it, it's the same as mums,” he says with a chuckle. I chuck my stapler at him and he shuts the door before it hits him, before opening it again.
"Missed, how do you think I brought that Xbox,” he says, popping his head in again, the cheeky little shit.
"Have fun" I call to him as he shuts the door. I turn back to the TV, turning it back on. Once that one finishes I grab the next popping it in. She was 16 this time and Lucy was around one. Reika looked so young in these videos her face still rounded with adolescents compared to her now.
I watch Lucy's first steps, I watch her talk to her mate through the glass, and do more experiments. I was watching Reika roll a ball to her daughter when I heard a noise behind me, making me jump. I grab the remote before pressing the button trying to turn it off. Her eyes stuck on the screen as she stepped into the room.
"Lucy, roll the ball to mummy,” Reika says and I jump up, giving up on my fumbling fingers, and rip the cord out of the wall, the screen going black.
"Lucy?" I hear her murmur eyes on the screen. I walk over to her but she sidesteps me rushing to the TV.
"Where did she go? Put it back on,” she says tapping the screen.
"Reika?" I call her, but she suddenly turns around trying to jam the cord in the outlet.
"Make it work. Make it work,” she says trying to jam the plug in with her shaking hands. She spins around looking at me. "I want to see. I want to see her! Turn it on!” she says frantically with tears rolling down her cheeks. Her confusion smashes me hard as she snatches the remote off the table pressing buttons.
I take it from her, reaching for her but she steps back "Please? Please turn it on!" she begs smacking the screen with her palm.
"Reika you shouldn't watch,” I tell her, and she starts smacking her head, and completely losing it.
"Bring her back! Make her come back!" she screams, grabbing chunks of her hair.
"Okay, okay, just stop hurting yourself,” I tell her, stepping around her and plugging it in.
She turns to look at the screen and I turn it on. She stares intently. Her eyes are not moving from the screen.
Chapter 50
Shewatchesherselfplayingwith her daughter. "Why isn't Amanda, why does she look like me?” she says touching the screen when suddenly she hears her own voice again.
"Good girl, Lucy, roll it back" Lucy giggles rolling the ball back,
"Ready? Catch the ball,” Reika says at the same time as she does on the screen, making me look at her.
"She is mine" she gasps, touching her daughter's image and watching the video. I watch her watching herself when suddenly someone walks into her cell. They try taking Lucy from her, but it doesn't work, she fights back putting herself between her and her daughter who was crying.
"You can't have her; I did what you asked" I hear her scream at them before she attacks them.
Lucy crawls under the bed hiding and Reika kills two people that enter her cell. I stood up, about to turn it off but she was in the way. She calls her daughter out from under the bed shielding her eyes away from their bodies that were lying bleeding on the floor. Suddenly the door opens again, and I pause in shock when I see they let her mate into the cell for the first time.
He holds his hands up and she stares at him oddly, like she couldn't believe he was there, in her cell.
He waves to his daughter, and she rushes to him, hugging him, wanting to touch him, her daughter in her arms. I couldn't make out what they were saying because he was talking in a hushed voice, but he sits on her bed taking the baby from her. She sits beside him and brushes Lucy's hair with her fingers when the door opens again. Three people walk in, and she attacks them, her mate holding the baby when he suddenly walks over handing Lucy to the woman standing at the door.
He tries to calm her, when Reika realizes he hasn't got the baby in his arms anymore. She lunges at the woman, but he grabs her telling her it is okay and the men rush from the room.
I look at Reika, her entire body shaking as she watches the screen and I hear her sniffle before turning my attention back to the screen. I touch her shoulder and she jumps.
"What did they promise you?" She screams at him smacking him. He grabs her restraining her before I hear his voice.
"Look, I will come back for you, I promise," he tells her, and she shoves him off.
"What?" She says.
"If we give them Lucy they will let me go,” he says, and my blood runs cold. He sacrificed his own daughter for his own freedom.
"No, get her back now!" she demands, and I watch as fur starts to grow on her, her face twisting in pure rage.
