Kennedy
I woke up with a horrible headache.
It was pounding like a jack hammer. I couldn't take the noise.
It was a loud snoring. I soon realized it had actually been coming from me.
I opened one eye, then the other.
I saw a familar looking woman's lips attached to my inner thigh.
I felt confused. I couldn't remember her name. Maybe it was Debbie something?
Did I have s*x with her, ew?
She looked up at me then and stopped sucking on me.
" You are awake my love? Okay I need to talk to you honey."
The woman sat up, wiping her mouth. I saw blood, my blood. I felt alarmed.
Still, I thought I must know her, but her name still slipped my mind.
" Where am I, how did I get here?" I tried to move my arms, they were tethered to the headboard. I must act calm, try not to upset her.
She took my chin, staring into my eyes.
" We stopped here on our way to the airport. We are flying home tomorrow." She smiled warmly at me as she placed a bandage to my leg.
I felt so confused.
" You mean to Oregon?" I asked her.
" No darling, I'm your friend, we are traveling to your home in Scotland. Isn't that wonderful?"
I nodded, what the hell?
" Why am I tied up? I'm sorry, what do I call you?" I needed to remember.
She slowly untied my wrists.
" You had a seizure in the car, I was worried you would hurt yourself.
My name is Daphne silly. We met in Scotland. You have a castle there love, do you have any memory of me?"
" I'm sorry Daphne, I have never left Oregon in my life.
It's just me and daddy, my mother died. My sister is in school, college. I feel sick, I'm going to puke."
She sat me up and my head pounded some more.
" Oh, drink some water dear, you have been sick."
I drank. I seemed to be a f*****g mess. I smelled of iron, blood? And my own urine. I must have been tied up for a while. Things weren't adding up. I didn't trust this fake woman, not one bit.

Daphne
I used my eyes to control her, I think the drugs she had made her mind worse.
She didn't even recall being in Scotland, surely she wouldn't know my son then, this was very good.
It was perfect really. He would search for her around the area, while we were back in Scotland.
I arranged for a private jet.
I was starting to feel things, human things. Her blood was the cure. I would take my time with her once we returned.
I left her in the bed and went to get her some food and some new clothing. We needed a disguise to leave the country together unnoticed.
**********
Orcas
I was able to track my ex wife to a dirtbag hotel in town.
I waited and watched.
Daphne finally left the room.
I knew Kennedy was inside. I smelled her.
I kicked the door in and quickly went into the dark room. It smelled like urine and filth.
Red was in the bathroom sitting by the toilet throwing up.
She screamed seeing me, kicking her feet as she pushed herself up against the tub. Her leg wasn't broken anymore.
I knelt by her. I tried to smile but held my nose at the smells assaulting me.
" Are you okay Kennedy, what did she do to you?" I could see she was scared to death of me.
" Who are you, how do you know my name?" She scooted to the wall.
I moved closer to her. I tried to go slowly, but we needed to leave.
" We don't have time dear. We need to leave, now."
" Please, no. The woman will be right back, leave me alone, please. I'm very sick." She covered her face.
I took her arm. She screamed again.
She didn't know who I was, she just knew to be afraid of me.
" Kennedy, we were married. I am Orcas. We love eachother." I said softly.
She pulled her knees to her chest, shaking her dirty red hair, it was back to it's normal color now.
" I'm too young to be married, you lie. My daddy will never let me marry a man like you, you are so...big."
She didn't know me, but she knew to be leary of me.
" The thing is, this woman kidnapped you away from Arlo, from June bug and she's coming back to take you far away from them.
I need you to trust me just a bit. Let's call Arlo, he will tell you."
I dialed her father's number and told him a little bit. He seemed to understand.
" Kennedy, you can trust this man, he was your husband Orcas, he will protect you, hurry Ken, be brave my love. Go with him."
Kennedy handed me back the phone and nodded.
I wrapped her in a blanket. I had phoned Rena when I found her. She was waiting outside in our car.
I put her into the car with me, in the backseat so I could hold her.
Rena watched us from the review mirror.
" Hi Kennedy." She said softly.
" Hello, who are you?" Ken asked.
" Oh, he's my brother. I'm your...well we were close once Kennedy, I'm your sister in law."
*********
Kennedy
I shook my head. I couldn't recall anything. I only knew my moma died. I was taken from my daddy. I wanted to go home.
They drove me to a hotel.
I saw a man there, he was extremely handsome. He smiled shyly at me and looked away, biting his lip nervously.
When I came into the room, he stood up and walked to the other side of the room.
I wanted to look at him more. He was avoiding me for some reason.
The woman took me to the bathroom and carefully stripped me down. I felt embarrased at her seeing me naked.
She assured me she had seen me very naked before, that did not comfort me.
I was relieved to get a hot shower. The woman washed me, she even put the warm shower wand between my legs.
I turned away from her.
" Please, I can finish up. Please." I wanted to be alone.
The shy man brought me a fluffy towel.
" I...I am your husband, Lucas. I'm sorry to say that the woman who took you Kennedy, she was my mother.
I'm so sorry love bird, I'm not like her. Do you know that we were very happily married before she stole you from me about a week ago?"
*********
Lucas
" How...how can this be Lucas?" She asked me.
" I need you to trust me somehow."
I could see she wanted to trust me.
I pointed to her leg.
" Your right leg, there is a scar, you broke that leg." I showed her a birth mark on her hip and touched her gently.
" If you let me kiss you, it may bring it back to you love bird."
She shook her head.
" No, I'm not like that, I don't just kiss strange men." She let me hold her hand.
I moved her hair away from her shoulders, "here, I will braid it for you."
I brushed her long hair out and braided it.
" Luke, when did we get married?" She asked me.
"About 6 months ago, I fell madly in love with you my dear, it was love at first sight." I assured her.
" Luke, can you..kiss me once?" She turned to me.
I nodded and softly kissed her lips.
Howle came into the bathroom right at that moment.
Kennedy moved away, she must of had a flashback from her last encounter in a bathroom with him. She cowered to the wall and hid behind me.
" Luke, don't let him get me. Please." She said with her lips almost closed.
