Fan Fiction ❯ Love Powers All: Life or Death? ❯ Trip to the East ( Chapter 7 )

Love Powers All: Life or Death?

A/N- Sorry I didn't update for a while. I took a shower and did some of my homework, but then I went out for a couple hours and when I got home I was trying ot finish a fanfic, but I'm finally sitting down and typing this. I have one quick question before I start the chapter: Do you like the prequel or the sequel better? On with the chapter!

Disclaimer- Same as always, I own nothing, but 4 characters and the fanfic. Also in the next chapter I'll be using Babs567's idea, so I don't own that idea of the fic.

Summary- Lucy, Kevin, Matt, Sarah, Mary, and Ben all go to Buffalo, New York.

This chapter will be shorter than usual.

Chapter 7- Trip to the East

Melanie's eyes widened…he's…he's holding a knife, what If he's trying to kill me?! Images started circling her mind until everything turned into a blur. The last image she saw before everything around her turned black was a knife being held up to her throat and the last words were: Call me a bastard and you'll be living through a slow and painful death!

Everything around her turned black and then Samantha started crying. Thomas let go of the knife and ran upstairs to the baby's room.

"You stop crying you freaking damn baby!" He grabbed her carelessly and headed outside to the car. After buckling Samantha in he went into his seat, turned the key, and drove off leaving Melanie lying on top of her own puddle of blood.

Beep…beep…beep!

It was 5am in the morning and Lucy and Kevin had to wake up to catch their flight to Buffalo, New York, which was at 8am. Kevin hit the clock and then sat up and stretched. He put a strong hand on Lucy's shoulder as he kissed her on the cheek and gently shook her.

"Mmm…" She started to roll around and finally woke up.

"Good morning, are you ready for your long day?" Lucy only looked at him and got out of bed.

She took a quick shower and after she had gotten out Kevin had just finished getting dressed. She started to get dressed and then went down to the kitchen to get herself a cup of coffee.

At around 6am Ben, Mary, Matt, and Sarah were all at the front door standing in front of Kevin.

"Are you two ready?" Lucy came up behind Kevin and Kevin got the suitcases that were by the door.

"Yeah, let's get going." Kevin said heading out the door and into the minivan that Mary and Ben had brought over.

Kevin and Lucy sat in the two front seats. Next were Sarah and Matt and finally Ben, Mary and Mrs. Kinkirk. Their ride to the airport was silent since they had nothing to say. All they wanted to do was get Samantha back and return home safely. Kevin parked into a parking space and walked into the Glen Oak International Airport. The group got their tickets and waited for their plane.

-------

Thomas didn't know where he was going nor did he care where he was going. All he wanted to do was get somewhere quickly before the police got him. He knew that he'd be going to jail soon, but he also knew that Jake deserved to have Samantha as his baby…or he thought he deserved that. Melanie and Thomas had always been a great couple and Thomas wasn't abusive until he found out that Jake was in jail.

Samantha was wailing in her car seat. She had a small bruise on her head and it was surprising that she didn't need to go to the hospital yet.

A few minutes later Thomas parked into a parking space. He looked around to see where he was and he realized instantly…he was at his old apartment. He got out of the car and slammed it closed causing Samantha to cry more. He then opened the back door and got the poor child out. Finally he quickly walked off…he decided that he'd just leave his car there and walk. He didn't know why, but he just did. He felt like he was starting to lose his mind.

-------

Kevin, Lucy, Mrs. Kinkirk, Matt, Sarah, Ben, and Mary were now boarding their plane. Thoughts were roaming through their minds and all of them were anxious to find Samantha again. They didn't want to go another day with worries, pain, and without Samantha. She was part of the family and important to everyone.

-Everyone-

I hope we find Samantha soon…she's an important part of each of us and I don't know what will happen if we don't find her while we're here. I'm still wondering why, out of all people, Lucy and Kevin, as well as our family, have to suffer through this pain.

They talked a little nit during the flight, but not as much has they would have if Samantha was actually there, but they all knew they'd find her soon and everything would be back to normal, at least that's what they thought.

"Let's split up." Ben said breaking the long silence that had been there almost all morning.

"What are you talking about, Ben?" Mary asked.

"I mean when we're on the search for Samantha."

"Why don't we just keep it the way we were sitting on the way?" Kevin suggested.

Everyone nodded and then they grew silent again. They wanted to get out and to start their search. They wanted to find Samantha and most of all they wanted to know she was okay and be together again.

A/N- I know this chapter was a lot shorter than the last chapters, but I didn't want them to find Samantha in this chapter and I also didn't want to use Babs567's idea in this chapter, so I think the next chapter will be longer than usual, so it'll make up for how short this chapter was. I was hoping that this chapter would be posted yesterday, but my keys got messed up so I had to shut down my comp for the night…they're better now than, I think the comp. just needed a break. Also I'm sorry that the last few chapters weren't very good, but they'll get better…I hope. If plans go well, the next chapter will be the chapter where Lucy and Kevin find Samantha.
