Multiple Choice, Yours Or His {Trent & Bently}

[bently]

Bently just shook his head when the woman asked why he wanted to know how many she was having. It didn't make much different. It would just make her choose later, that was all. He could see she was in no fit state to do or say anything to him. This was reassuring in some ways. But knew that it wouldn't be long before these children would enter the world. Then the fun could begin.

When she nodded, after he asked her to tell him when they born, he just glared, and then went over to a nearby chair and sat, waiting for his moment to tell her what he had planned. He pulled out his mobile phone, and saw that there was nothing on there at all. So maybe all the other jobs that were in the works were going to plan. Well then, this new plan might just work as well.

About half an hour later, Bently was growing tired of waiting. He was getting tired of just watching the woman breathing through it all. If she required help, he had no idea what to do, or even if he wanted to help at all. He only cared about when they were finally born. He soon saw that she was now trying to push, which he knew meant that it was not long now till his job would continue. Unfortunately for Bently, he was getting the full view of what was happening, so he got up, and walked away out of the eye line.

But he soon heard the cries from a baby. He turned to see what was happening, and remembered that there was still another one to be born. So he stood where he was, watching as the woman pushed out the second one. They were now both out, and crying on the ground. Bently didn't know much about child birth, but knew that the cords, which were attached to the baby and mother had to be cut. Lucky for him, he had the scalpal on hand.

He walked over, seeing that she was unable to do anything, due to all that she had just been through, and bent down to look at the babies. Lucky for them there were clothes on a nearby bench. He grabbed them, and wrapped one baby, then two babies into the clothes. Using his scalpal, Bently cut the cords. Bently then picked up both babies, and walked away from the woman.

After half an hour of pain and discomfort, and heavy breathing from Niki, both her babies were born, and were lying on the ground wriggling around and crying. Niki was now exhausted, and she'd lost quite a lot of blood, probably due to the fact the babies were born quite early. She was now feeling weaker than normal, and she had a severe pain in her abdomen. Of course she wasn't sure what was going on there.

However, her main concern was for her newborn babies and Brooke and Peyton. She was still sort of slumped in front of the double buggy with the girls in it, it was all she could do right now to try and protect them. If he went anywhere near the both of them now, she didn't know what she would able to do. Just then she saw him come toward her. She couldn't even think about saying his name, the thought of saying it left a bitter taste on her tongue.

He was coming toward her with the god damned scalpel in his hands again, and she immediately thought he was going to just use it to kill the babies. So she put her hand up and screamed at him. "Stay away from them. Don't you dare touch them." But she realised it was making no difference, but she did notice he used the scalpel to cut the cords, and then she could only watch helplessly as he wrapped both the babies up into clothes which were lying around.

She tried to get up off the floor, but she was so weak and sore, she slumped back down again. "Leave them alone." She shouted again, "What are you going to do with them?" She shouted some more, but the emotion and worry and fear and sadness, a myriad of emotions came washing over her and she just began to sob hysterically with her hands tugging at her hair. This wasn't happening. This couldn't be happening.

{ooc - not sure, but maybe one more Bently post and then Trent could come into the thread?}

Trent had got his bounty very early today, maybe Niki was the reason for that, she said she had wanted him to join them at the park to feed the ducks, so he made sure he got the guy as early as he could. He walked along the park heading for the pond but stopped when he zoomed his eyes using his telescopic vision not seeing Niki or the girls anywhere. “Niki!” Screaming out as he ran to the benches next to the water. Were they at the playground? His eyes moved to the swings and saw nothing. Did they drown? He searched the water only seeing fish and trash.

Where were his girls? Where was Niki? He walked along the street pushing people out of his way. “Niki!” He was sure he looked like a crazy person running around as he questioned people if they saw the woman he wasn’t suppose to love and his girls. His eyes started to zoom into the little shops then out of the corner of his eye he saw Niki. She was sobbing. He zoomed in more seeing a man there holding babies. They were Niki’s, she had the twins. He ran across the street just making it before a bus came down the road. He rushed to open the door but it was locked.

Using all his might he kicked the door down running into the shop stopping as he looked at the new born babies. They were beautiful just like their mother. He looked at the man in his way. “Give me the babies.” He glanced over at Niki giving her a nod as if he said everything would be ok and taken care of. “Fight like a man. Don’t hide behind newborn children.” Before the man could react Trent tucked himself and did a roll, standing up grabbing one of the twins before he ran over to Niki handing her the baby. “Are you ok?“ His eyes stared into hers. “Can you make it to the door with the kids?”

[bently]

{OOC - I am so sorry for taking so long in replying. }

As Bently took the babies, after wrapping them up, Bently had begun to walk away. But he could still hear the woman, telling him to leave the babies alone. He turned to face her, from a distance, and saw that she was in fact quite weak. Bently knew that she would probably be exhausted from the child birth, and had also noticed the blood lying on the floor from it all. He had no idea if that was meant to happen, but really, what could he do. He was no doctor.

Then the woman was sobbing like anything, and was tugging her hair. He calmly spoke to her then, as he placed a baby on a bench near him. "Well. Since now that there are two sets of kids here. I have a proposition for you." Bently picked up the other baby, which he had put on the bench, and slowly moved away from it to talk. "I was hoping that you could tell me which one of these lovely sets of children you would sacrifice, and which ones would you let live their life out like normal?"

Just then the door to the back of the shop swung open, which made Bently instantly turn around to face the man, who now stood in the room. Then the man demanded Bently give him the babies. All Bently could do was laugh out loud. "And now why would I do such a thing?" Bently turned to face the woman, giving her a crazy look, raising his eyesbrows, like he was saying 'what was this guy thinking'. But the next thing Bently knew was that the guy was at him, and took one of the babies from his arms.

Bently was in shock, thinking how dare he take the baby from his arms. He then kept a firm hold of the baby in his arms, reached into his jacket, and produced a knife. Yelling at the guy and woman, he smirked. "So, do I believe that this little one is the one which is going to die?"

{OOC Don't worry Mel - I'm hardly on the game myself this week since the event on Saturday. God knows when I'll get back to normal lol}

All Niki wanted right now was for Trent to fine her, not for her own benefit, but for his own kids. If he found her, then he found them, and then maybe they might leave with their lives in tact. She could only watch helplessly as Bently took her babies away from her. He was crazy, god knows what he would do to them. Her screams of telling him to leave them alone was doing nothing other than making Niki even more exhausted than she already was.

When Bently spoke next, he was giving Niki some crazy proposition. How the hell was she supposed to choose? She couldn't, she wanted all her children to survive. That's right, she had automatically included Brooke and Peyton as her own children when she thought about them all, even though they weren't technically her own. "Don't be so damned crazy, that isn't something I can do and you know it. You're fucking crazy." She screamed. She couldn't do it. How could she choose the life of her own babies over the life of Brooke and Peyton? "You can't do this." She sobbed, finding it difficult to believe she could be put in this position.

Just then Niki saw the door come crashing in and she looked up to see Trent. Finally, he was here. He would be able to help. Or, she could tell him to get the kids out. His own. The next thing she knew Trent had managed to grab one of her babies and headed toward her, handing her the child. She of course cuddled the child to herself, locking eyes with Trent, but when he asked if she could make it out, she shook her head. Looking down at the mess she was now sitting in, the pool of blood. "I can't Trent, I'm too weak." For the first time in as long as Niki could remember, she was feeling weak. She was always normally so strong, but not right now.

Niki jumped when she heard Bently shout and saw him holding a knife to her other child. "Noooo!" She screamed, and then she looked at Trent, sobbing, "He's trying to make me choose, the life of my babies or your own. Trent, get Brook and Peyton out of here now." Then trying to find her strength she tried to stand up, she was going to take Bently on herself, but it was hopeless, as soon as she got one leg steady, she just slumped to the ground again.

[trent]

Trent wrapped an arm around Niki looking into her eyes as she stated she was to weak. How was he suppose to get her and all the kids out of here. “I’ll need your help to get everyone out Niki.“ He then saw his children in their buggy looking scared. “Sh! Daddy’s here.” He states as he hears Niki scream.

“What?” Trent questioned no one in particular as he saw the knife to the baby. Who was this man and why was he willing to kill a child? “I swear to God if you don’t put that baby down.” He pulled up his sleeves about to walk over to Bently. As he saw Niki fall down he looked at the man. “You would kill children just to see a women in pain?” He lowered himself down to Niki’s level. “Let me take your baby and I will make sure the kids are safe and then I’ll come back for both of you.”

He hated that he would have to leave Niki in her weak state, there trying to get her other child back from the man but this way her other baby and his own would be out of harms way as he would race back here to get the other one safe. All he wanted to do was keep all the women in his life save and now here he was fighting for the life of children and the women he loved.

[bently]

Bently had to laugh at the woman, as she called his proposition crazy. And then she called him crazy. He knew that he probably was, but that was just him. Bently was the guy people came to if they had some crazy whacked out plan. He was always the guy who would actually go through with those plans of theirs. "Well, I know that I am crazy. You don't need to tell me that much. But this proposition will be taken seriously."

She began to sob, as the door crashed open. Just those few seconds of seeing the woman being a complete mess in front of him, was not making him sad or guilty at all for what he has proposed to her. When the man took one of the babies off of Bently, she couldn't believe that he was apparently so vulnerable at that moment. But now he was back on his game, and was ready for this man's next move.

He watched as the man put an arm around the woman, and was trying to get Niki to get up off the ground. Bently knew all too well that she was in no fit state to get up. He could see the blood around her, after he had taken the children off the floor. He heard her say the guy's name, so now he knew both their names. She told Trent that she was too weak to get up at all. But he saw that Niki was infact cuddling the child to her, by the looks of it enough strength to do that.

As Bently yelled at them, and held the knife to the other newborn, both Trent and Niki were yelling back. Well, more so Trent, who had a few things to say to Bently. As he had the knife only millimetres away form the child's body, Bently watched as Niki tried to get up, after telling Trent to take the children in the buggy out. When Trent asked Bently if he would kill children just to see a woman in pain, all he could do was laughing and nod. "Yes I would. Choices have to be made, and I don't care who gets hurt in the process."

[niki]

After Niki had lost it with Bently, shouting and swearing at him, she had hoped he might just give up, but no, he just came back at her with a smart remark, saying that he was crazy and she didn't need to tell him that much. He then went on to say the proposition would be taken seriously. Niki just slumped, and sobbed again, she didn't really have any fight in her, not just now. The only strength she seemed to have was to hold her baby. She looked down at her little girl, she had been able to tell that much, she had no idea if the baby Bently had was a girl or a boy. She looked down at her baby and noticed she had perfect ruby coloured lips and that's when the name came to her, baby Ruby.

She looked up at Bently with hatred on her face. "You're fucking sick and twisted." But she knew there was no point in saying that, as he'd probably just agree with her again. However, as difficult as it was to choose life of her child over Brooke or Peyton, she found she couldn't do it. She couldn't see one of Trent's girls be killed over the life of one her own.

However, that was when Trent had come crashing through the door. She was so glad to see him. He had said he needed her help to get everyone out, but she was feeling too weak to move properly. "I need a hospital Trent." Niki said in a voice filled with fear as she looked at Bently with hate in her eyes. She listened as Trent had a go at Bently, about killing a child to see a woman in pain, and when Bently replied, all Niki could do was sob hysterically again.

She had then told Trent to get Brooke and Peyton out, but Trent then bent down and told her to give her baby to him and he'd take her out along with Brooke and Peyton. She nodded her head then, "Ruby, her name's Ruby." Niki said through her tears, as she kissed the baby's head before handing her over to Trent. She knew he would come back for her and her other baby, she trusted him. She would trust Trent with her life.

Bently then answered Trent's question and Niki just gave him a pained look. He truly was crazy, what human would do that to another human, a newborn baby no less. It just didn't make sense. Now, Niki could only hope that Trent would get Ruby, Brooke and Peyton out to safety and hurry and come back for her and her other child, and then this crazy idiot could go fuck himself.

[trent]

Trent glared at this man, who was he to think he could play God to a child let alone a grown women. “Choices don’t have to be made. You could just leave and never see us again. Let us be a happy family.” Trent was so angry that he didn’t even realize that he somewhat stated his true feelings for Niki.

Trent bent down to Niki’s level smiling at the new baby girl. “Ruby. I like that name.” He picked the baby up as his eyes zoomed out into the street seeing his neighbor, an older women who wouldn’t ask questions if he asked her to call the police and watch the girls and Ruby. He now had a plan to get them to safety then he could come back and get Niki and her baby.

Looking back at Niki he couldn’t just leave her here without telling her how he felt. “Niki…” He closed his eyes as he kissed her lips for a moment before he let go opening his eyes. “I’ll be back. I promise.” He got up grabbing the buggy glaring at Bently as he ran to the door only looking back eyeing Niki before Trent walked out the door.

(OOC: figured Bently can do the deed then Trent could come back in if needed.)

[bently]

All Bently could do was laugh, when the woman said he was sick and twisted. He knew that he didn't have to confirm that. He was, and he loved being like that. Bently never cared how many people hurt, or got killed because of him. He always looked out for number one, and no one else.

When Bently had said that he would see a woman in pain when he killed a child, and that choices had to be made, and he didn't care who got hurt, Bently heard the woman sob, and then Trent commented about leaving them alone, and just let them be a happy family. All Bently could do was snicker at that. "Well. Well. I don't think that will happy any time soon."

Soon enough Trent went over to Niki, and commented about the name of the baby she was holding, taking the baby. He then watched as he then kissed her, telling her that he would be back. Bently turned around a bit, rolling his eyes. I wish that he would just go already, thought Bently.

Then Trent was gone. Bently turned around to face Niki. "Well it looks like time is up, and this little one is the one to be sacrificed." Without hesitation, Bently smiled sweetly at the baby, and then took his knife, and stabbed it right in the chest. Feeling the baby go limp, and the crying subsiding, he let out a laugh.

[niki]

{ooc - god Bently really is evil - LOVE it - its terrible and sad, but it's what I wanted... drama all the way}

Niki was so upset about everything, she almost didn't hear what Trent said, before it was too late, and then she did a double take. Trent was telling Bently choices didn't have to be made and he could leave and never see them again and let them be a happy family. Had she heard him right? Niki was only his baby sitter, although she had developed feelings for him over the time, but she'd kept them to herself because she wasn't sure how Trent would have reacted to his baby sitter showing feelings toward him. Hearing him say those words, made her cry all the more. So much for Niki's inner strength, right now it was shot to pieces.

Trent then bent down picking up her new baby girl and commented he liked the name Ruby. She smiled through her tears, "Me too. I'm glad you like the name." Niki didn't even realise what she saying herself now. As her choice of baby name shouldn't have needed Trent's approval, but somehow, she knew she liked the fact he liked the name she'd given her baby girl. Trent then said her name, but he didn't continue to speak, instead, she felt his lips on her own as he kissed her.

It wasn't an overly passionate one, but it was a kiss just the same, and it proved Trent's feelings for her, and now she felt, she could show her own. She lifted her hand up to his face, when he said he'd be back. She nodded her head slowly, "I know you will." Then she watched him leave.

She was so upset at the situation and so happily shocked at what Trent had admitted, she wasn't even paying attention to anything Bently was really saying. Her attention was focused on her other baby that Bently was holding. She was soon snapped back to reality however, when he spoke. His words cut through Niki's heart almost as if the knife she then helplessly saw plunge into her baby, had went through her own, and all she could do was let out a very loud painful cry of, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" She slumped back down onto the ground as she saw her baby in his arms, lifeless. Then from nowhere, she got this sudden burst of energy and strength, annoyed she couldn't find it sooner, and got up, and hurled herself at him, taking her now dead baby from his arms, and placing him down gently, before taking her fists and punching into his chest.

"Sick, evil, twisted, bastard, that's what you are." Niki knew her inner strength was coming out now, and she could easily have ripped him apart, but she didn't, she wasn't like that, Niki could never stoop to his level. He wasn't worth her anguish and pain, he'd caused enough. She turned, lifted up her dead baby who was now covered in his own blood and made her way outside to where Trent was.

{ooc - this could end it? Then Niki/Trent could have a follow on thread if you're happy Bambi? Or... Trent & Bently could do final posts. Just let me know guys, so I can mark up my threads, thanks.}
