The ties that bind- Part 1
This ia a rather dramatic story I thought I'd try out on this board before posting elsewhere. I'm not sure how good it is so beware. It is... of course, a bo and Nora story. I got the idea from a combination of two books I have read. The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks( which I AM still reading) and Rivers end By Nora Roberts. But It will still be rather different anyways so enjoy.
***************************************
Prologue
She was in her mid 40's when the monster came.
Ever since she was a little girl, her parents had always
told her not to be afraid because they didn't exist.
" It's pretend Nora. Part of yor imagination."
And then they would turn on the lights and show her that it was just her mind playing tricks on her. She was Ok then. She had stopped crying.
But Not this time. Not when she had heard, seen and smelled. Not when her life had become a living breathing nightmare that had robbed her of her innocence and left her broken. Not when the chilling reality was blood on her hands.
No, this time no one could tell her that the monster wasn't real.
Chapter 1
It was a beautiful summer evening when the air was filled with the scent of Roses and Jasmine.
She was sitting ouside in her robe as she watched the sun fade away. It was a beautiful sight she thought, as the reds and oranges began to mesh into one. It had been a long time since she had had the option to witness such and masterpeice and she was going to hold on to it with all her might.
How long had it been since she had been able to find beauty in anything? Too long. Simply too long.
****************************************
She shut her eyes tightly, wanting to block out the reality of what she was only too aware of was coming.
She could see the broken glass and the shattered figure of what used to be a vase. Lying on the floor were the flowers that had been left to die. Something was always dying she thought.
She could still see the overturned tables that had once been set up so neatly. She could practically taste the blood that was smeared on the walls. A crime of passion they say. It happens all the time.
She blinked back the tears as she remembered the smell. That horrible, awful smell. She could never forget it, for even in her dreams, it left her paralyzed. It immobilized her with fear, just as it had on that night.
Nothing would ever be the same again.
The monster was here.
*****************************************
Police station...
He was staring at a document in his office, trying to keep his mind in focus. How many times had he told her they would never have to use that thing?
Bo: Legal Guardianship...
He began to read the fine print as the shock began to sink in. When they had made that document it was to protect Matthew. They had never once considered having to use it. "How could this be happening" he wept as the doors opened and Gabrielle was standing in front of him with his son.
Bo: You better have a dam good reason for pulling him out of the house in the middle of the night.
Gabrielle: I thought you might want to see him. You haven't been home much Bo.
Bo: You're not his Mother. Nora is.
Gabrielle: And she's not here is she?
Bo put the paper down and took Matthew out of her arms. He was still asleep so he laid him on the couch and kissed him.
Bo: Sleep tight Angel. I'll bring your mommy home as soon as I can. I promise.
He closed the door and turned to Gabrielle.
Bo: Where is she gabby? What the hell did you do to her?
