                               Onyx's POV
In the afternoon the next day, I was woken up from my nap from a knock on the door. I got up and went downstairs. I opened the front door and, saw two police officers.

Oh no.

"Is Marionette Jane here?"

"No. She's with her friend Sophie. Did something happen?"

"There's been an incident. Marionette's being taken to the hospital."

I got ready then, went to the hospital. I saw Marionette's friend's mom in the ER.

"Alice!"

"Oh god! There you are! I-I am so sorry!"

"W-what happened?!"

"I-I left the girls with Sophie's brother Paul, I came back and-and Mari and Sophie were covered in blood!"

"Alice what happened?"

"Marionette got stabbed!"

My eyes widened.

"She got WHAT?!"

"S-she got stabbed!"

"Where is she?!"

"Follow me."

Alice brought me into a room. I saw my little girl curled up into a ball with tears streaming down her face.

"Princess!"

I ran up to the bed.

"Sweetie?"

I moved her hair out of her face.

"D-daddy?"

"Yes?"

"It hurts!"

"Oh sweetie I know. The same thing's happened to me a couple times. Do you want a hug?"

She nodded as she sniffled. I laid down next to her. I held my arms out. She crawled into them. I slowly wrapped my arms around her. She started gripping my shirt. She started crying more.

"I'm right here. Do you want to talk to Primy?"

She shook her head.

"No? Okay. Can I know what happened?"

"O-okay."

She sniffled.

"W-were playing with Sophie's dolls. P-Paul ran in and he had a s-small knife."

"Do you know where this knife came from?"

"H-his pocket."

Bastard.

"What else happened?"

"H-he threw me down to the ground and just started hurting me."

"You're gonna be okay."

I heard a knock and sat up. I saw a woman standing in the doorway. Her eyes widened when she saw me.

"A-are you Onyx?"

"Uhhh how'd you know?"

"I'm Madelaine. I-I'm your step mom."

"Huh?"

"Oh crap. I'm sorry. I'm her nurse. I'm here to prep her for surgery."

I looked down at my daughter. She had her arms wrapped around my leg. I put my hand on her head.

"How bad is this?"

"She has 26 stab wounds."

"What?! I-I- Paul did this?!"

Marionette nodded.

"A-are you mad at me?"

"No no. Not at all. This isn't your fault sweetie."

"I-is the baby okay?"

"Yes. The baby's okay. Don't worry about them right now."

I got out of the bed.

"Don't go!"

"Oh princess I'm not going anywhere right now."

After she was ready for surgery, I had to stay behind. I told her that I love her and I'd see her later. I was brought to a waiting area. Madeleine walked up to me. She sat next to me.

"You look a lot like him."

"I do? I wouldn't know. Sorry. That sounded rude. I'm just still pissed at him."

"You seriously thought he was dead?"

"Yep. I wish I knew I was being lied to. Me, my siblings, and my daughter wouldn't have gone through hell. Please do not make me talk about that. I-I don't even know you."

"I heard you met Cooper yesterday."

"Yeah. Not happy he just showed up at my house."

My phone started ringing. I took it out of my pocket.

"Is that your daughter's mom?"

"No. My girlfriend's calling me."

                      *Phone Call with Primrose*
"Hey Prim."

"Hi! What the hell is going on?!"

"Sophie's brother stabbed MJ 26 times."

"O-oh god! D-do you want me to come up there?"

"Yeah. The both of us need clothes. Hers are all ripped up. I just have blood on me from holding her. I-I've never seen her in that much pain before. S-she thought I was mad at her."

"Really?"

"I-I think my head i-is spinning."

"Relax baby relax. I have some clothes ready for the both of you. I'm getting in my car now."

"M-my step mom found me."

"Oh fuck! Really?!"

"Mhm. She's MJ's nurse. I-I'll have her come get you. I-I have to stay here."

"It's okay. It's okay. I'll tell you when I'm there okay?"

"O-okay."

"She's gonna be okay. I love you. I'll see you in a bit."

"I-I love you too."
