Chapter 11

What the hell am I doing here?

I stand beside Slade, staring up at the Castle Rock Maximum Security Penitentiary for Men feeling like an idiot for coming here. I don’t know what I’m hoping to get out of this but it’s either going to go one of two ways.

One, I walk out of here absolutely devastated, hearing things no daughter should ever have to hear, or two, I walk out of here an absolute mess. There is no winning for me here.

“Are you sure about this?” Slade murmurs, taking my hand and giving it a gentle squeeze. “Just say the word and we’ll go.”

“I just sat in your Dodge for three and a half hours listening to your shitty taste in music. I’m not about to put myself through that torture again so soon.”

“Says the girl who was singing along and rocking out the whole way here.”

“Really?” I laugh. “You think I was doing that because I liked it? I was trying to get my mind off the fact that I was coming here.”

My words have both our gazes falling back to the prison and have my mood sobering once again. I really must be insane for doing this, but I’ve always told myself that if I was going to close the book on all this Lucien bullshit, that I need to tie up every loose end and that includes confronting the man who murdered my parents.

Anton Mathers.

He was the very first monster I ever encountered and I’m hoping that today, he will be the last.

He is the man who opened me up to a world of darkness, he is the one that took my world away from me, he is the man who locked me and Blake in a basement and sold us to the highest bidder. He is the man who stole the happiness of my childhood, my innocence, and joy. He took it all and now it’s finally time to face my fears so I can move on.

I’m a bird set free.

A shaky bird on wobbly as fuck legs, but a free bird nonetheless.

Fuck it. I’m a nervous as shit kind of bird who’s terrified to fly. I don’t know what I’m going to get in there and the unknown scares the crap out of me. In my head, I walk out of here with a smile, feeling empowered for putting that bastard in his place, but in reality, I’m probably going to hurl.

All I know is that it’s now or never.

I take Slade’s hand and look up at his warm, loving eyes. “Come on,” I say, trying to hide the nerves in my tone. “If I don’t go now, I’ll never find the balls.”

He nods and follows my lead as I take my first step toward the prison. “Remember, Virago, just say the word…”

I nod, not needing him to finish his sentence. I don’t doubt that he means every last word. If this gets too much, he’d more than likely be the one to shut
