Divided

Jane's POV.

I was in Andrew's car. He was driving me back to the house. He had called Gerard saying that he found me and that he was bringing me home.
My body was trembling, I was afraid of what might happen when I reached the house. Will Gerard see that everything Andrew told him was a lie? Would he belive me if I told him the truth?
Before we reached the driveway that leads to the house, Andrew stopped the car and forced me to look at him, by putting a hand on my chin and twisting my head.
"If you breath, so much a word out of order... Lover boy dies a very slow and painful death, wich I will make sure you watch... Understood?"
I nod my head slightly, afraid to look him in the eyes. I felt broken. I never felt like this before. I felt like I lost all control over my life. I didn't belong to myself anymore, I belonged to Andrew, who took me by force, and that at this point, held my future in his hands...
"Good girl..." He let go of me and started the car again. He drove up to the house and parked the car. Gerard was already standing by the door. As soon as I got out of the car, he ran towards me, a look of relief in his eyes. He was about to hug me, but stopped himself. He composed himself, and took a step back.
"I'm glad you're home Jane..." He said. He was looking at me but I didn't look at him. I might have felt scared before. But when I saw Gerard's attitude towards my arrival, I just felt angry.
"Thank the Earth I found her when I did! That Healer was crazy!" Andrew said, stepping beside me and placing a hand on my shoulder. I flinched at his touch, and Gerard noticed, but said nothing.
"What do you mean?" Gerard asked, focusing his attention on Andrew again
"Let's go inside and I will explain everything..."
Gerard turned back to the house and Andrew pushed me foward to walk.
We all sat in the library. I chose the chair further away from any of them. After a moment of silence, in wich I could feel Gerard's eyes on me, examining me, he was the first to speak,
"Now, could you please tell me what happend?" Gerard asked.
"Well it's very simple... As it turns out, all that man wanted was the Blood Stone. He seduced Miss Jane and made her belive he loved her to get close to her. They planned to run away together, but when they did, the man revealed a new side to him. When I found them, he was about to torture Miss Jane, for her to tell him, where was the Stone. Thank the Earth I got there in time! Who knows what that mad man would have done to poor Miss Jane..."
"Jane is this true?" Gerard turned to look at me
I couldn't look at them, I couldn't face them. If I did, I was afraid I would say that it was all a fucking lie and that Andrew was the guilty one. But if I did that, Frank would die....
"Miss Jane...." I heard Andrew say, his voice was cold and commanding.
Without looking at them, I started to open my mouth to speak. But luckily, Mikey burst through the door at the exact same moment. He looked like he had been running, flushed and with lack of breath. He looked around the room and when he saw me, he rushed to hug me tightly, like he hadn't done in years.
"My sister...my sweet baby sister... Oh thank the Earth you're safe..." He whisperd in my ear. I could feel his tears in my neck. At first I was surprised by his attitude, but then I hugged him back, as tightly as he was hugging me and started to cry as well.
Mikey pulled away from the hug and cupped my face with his hands, kissing me softly all over it. He wiped my tears away with his thumb and stared into my eyes. As soon as he did, I could see that he new that something was wrong, his face turned from relieved and happy, to worried sick.
"Hm-hm..." Andrew cleared his throat, "this is all very touching... But Miss Jane was about to confirm what had happened to her..."
Mikey was still looking at me, "What Jane needs to do now is take a shower and rest." And without another word, he threw my arms around his neck and placed one arm under my knees, picking me up.
"But she was about to..." Andrew continued.
Mikey turned around to face him, and glared at him, "My sister will rest now. If, later, she wants to confirm, what happend to her, then it would be when she feels ready." He spat the word "confirm". And without saying another word, we left the library, leaving Andrew and Gerard staring at us.

Mikey took me to my room and locked the door, casting a soundproof and barrier charm around it. He tried to make me let go of him so I could stand up, but I held tighter, my face buried in his neck. He sat down on my bed with me in his lap, and began to rock slowly back and forth rubbing my back. He let me cry for as long as I wanted. When I couldn't cry anymore, he made me look at him. I didn't want to look straight at him, afraid of what he might see in my eyes, but he placed a finger on my chin and lifted my head.
"What happend?" Mikey asked in a whisper. I didn't answer. "Jane you have to tell me..." He tried again.
"I-I c-can't..." I whispered
"Why not?"
"B-because...."
"What happend Jane? Did Andrew threaten you?!" He said, raising his voice a bit. I cringed at the sound.
"Sweetheart... You have to tell me... Let me help you..."
"H-h-he said he w-would k-kill him, a-and made me w-watch..." I sobbed
"Who did? Did Andrew say that? Who is he going to kill?" Mikey started to sound desperate for answers
"You have to find him Mikey!" I said, finally managing to look into his eyes, "You have to find him... Before it's too late! If you find him, then Andrew can't hurt me anymore!"
"Did Andrew hurt you?! How did he hurt you?!" He was furious
"You have to find him! Find Frank and save him! Andrew is going to kill him! Please find him! I can't live without him!" I was desperate. The thought of Frank dead made me start to panic.
"I'll find him Jane... But first you need to tell me what happend so I can keep Andrew away from you!"
"NO! Find Frank first! You have to find him first so that Andrew doesn't have leverage over me! Find Frank first!"
"Jane, how am I supposed to find him? I don't even know where you were!"
I jumped off his lap and ran to my desk. I scrambled around looking for the notes. When I found one I handed to Mikey, "Track him! He wrote this! You can track him with this!"
He took the note and looked at it, then folded it and put it in his pocket, "What about you? I'm not leaving you alone in this house with Andrew lurking around!"
"He won't try anything with Gerard around! He's a psychopath, not stupid!"
"What if Gerard force you to be alone with him again?! Gerard was talking about moving up the wedding!" "Then you have no time to loose... Find him Mikey! Please, just find him!"
Mikey stood up, kissed me on the forehead and ran out the door, closing it behind him.
"Please find him...."

Mikey's POV.

I ran down the stairs as fast as I could. I needed to find the Healer. Maybe they were taken together and he could tell me what really happend.
When I reached the entrance hall, Gerard was pacing.
"Where's Andrew?" I asked him
"He told me that it was a good idea to perform the wedding as quickly as possible. After what happend, Jane needs a distraction..."
"And you agreed to this?!" I shouted at him, he just stared at me for a while, before saying, "We have an agreement. They need to be married... I can't break the..."
I snapped. Before he could say another word I punched him, hitting is jaw. He lost his balance and fell. He looked at me with wide eyes, not really sure what to do. I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, picking him up and smashing him against the wall
"YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH!! HE HURT JANE!!! DO YOU HEAR ME?! HE HURT HER!!! AND YOU STILL WANT TO GO ON WITH THIS NONSENSE?!" I was inches away from his face, shouting my heart out. Gerard just stared at me.
"Where the fuck is he?!" He didn't answer. I pulled and pushed him against the wall again, "ANSWER ME!!"
"He left... Said he had somethings to take care of before the wedding..." He said, looking down at the ground.
"Shit..." I thought. I let go of Gerard and he slumped to the ground. I left him there and ran out the door, getting in my car and speeding away as fast as I could.
"I have to find the Healer before it's too late..."
