"I'm sorry Holly, I really am. I don't know what to say" he whispers as he gets down to my level.
"Please get her down, she doesn't deserve this" I cry I'm not sure whether Harry understands me through my crying but he gets up and I hear him over by the tree.
It takes a matter of minutes before I can hear him walking back over to me, his footsteps slower than usual I don't dare look up. I don't want to see what I already know is happening and that is Harry carrying Pebbles towards me in his arms.
I hear him place her down in front of me but I keep my head down. I reach out and stroke her for the last time. The tears are uncontrollable now and I'm finding it hard to breath. It takes me five minutes to open my eyes and look down at my beautiful pebbles.
"You didn't deserve this my baby, you didn't deserve this ending" i pick her up and cradle her like a baby "I love you so much" I bring her up to my face and take in her smell once more "always, I'll always love you"
Harry is still standing in front of us not saying a word just allowing me to have my time to say goodbye.
My mental state is being pushed to its limits I look at Harry "Bring her back!" He slowly shakes his head "bring her fucking back! You sent me back, now send her back!" He kneels down in front of me. I thrust her into his arms, I see him panic "fucking do it!" I'm screaming.
"I can't! I can't. Believe me if I could she would already be back. But I can't do it. She was gone before I came here. She's already past over and I can't bring her back. I'm sorry Holly. I don't know what I can do" if he could cry I know he would.
"No, please. Help her" I take her small body back in my arms "how long would of it taken?" I think about her struggling for her life with no one around to help her. My heart crumbles at the thought and I now can't shake it from my head.
"Not long" he simply says. I know that hanging isn't just a second death it's a long painful death and I just need someone to tell me it's not, I just need someone to lie to me.
Harry stands to his feet and runs his hands through his hair I know he's stressed that he can't help me. He looks round to the tree and I notice there is something on his mind. What else can there be? I don't think I can mentally take anything else!
"Spit it out!" I snap at him. I let him think about what he wants to say to me before I push him more.
I stand up with Pebbles in my arms, I'm praying for her to suddenly jump up and cuddle into me like she use too. My eyes are stinging and I'm finding it hard to have them fully open due to this.
"I.. there's something else" Harry finally speaks up. I look over to him.
"What?" I snap again.
"Er, on the tree there's a message or something. I noticed it when I got peb.." I cut him off I don't need the mental picture of him bringing her down from the tree.
I walk over to the tree and I feel sorry I'm bringing Pebbles back here to where she was murdered. I don't care what people say animal or not she was murdered. Who ever can do this to a animal can do this to anyone. They are sick.
I get to the tree and see a small message carved into the bottom of the tree. I decide to place Pebbles down by the front door so I don't have to worry about my reaction while holding her.
I walk back over to the tree where Harry is now standing waiting for me. I brace myself for what I'm about to read, I close my eyes and take a deep breath and crouch down to read the message.
I allow it to register in my mind, I look back to Pebbles and then at the message again.
I place my hand on the bark and slowly ball my hand into a fist and punch the tree. I stand up and let out a high pitch murderous scream.
"FUCKK!"
Harry tries to comfort me but Im too angry for anything or anyone. I only have my eyes set on one person right now.
I look back down at the message.
Take something from me and I'll take something from you.
"I'm going to fucking kill her!" I see red and I don't know where my sense of judgement has gone. The only thing I have in my mind is to get justice for Pebbles. How dare she take her away from me.
"Calm down, Holly don't do anything stupid!" Harry flaps around me trying to stop me leaving.
"Don't touch me! Don't stop me! I'm going to have her! The fuck! She's taken this to another fucking level Harry! She's fucking sick! Fucking sick in the head" I bang my hand against my head. I look back at Pebbles and rush over to her and place a small kiss to her soft head and watch my tears fall on her.
"I love you and I'm so sorry I wasn't here for you" I get up and Storm up the drive way with Harry in hot pursuit.
"Holly stop please!" He's begging.
Nothing is going to stop me right now, I see one thing and that thing is to get revenge.
