Chapter 12a - Gen 2 - Tapestry


We are all now just standing around quietly staring down at Tapestry's body which is now sprawled out on the cold stone floor, where it fell.

After witnessing Tapestry totally losing it and kicking off quite violently, sedation was the only way that we could stop his rampage and now that it has kicked into his system ... we can all finally relax again.  He is now lay on the floor looking almost peaceful, totally out cold and finally silent and still ... unlike the uncontrollable animal that was tearing around the cage only minutes ago.

Tapestry got very wild there for a while, it was almost like he became totally unhinged and the look in his eyes was pretty frightening, I worried for Honey and the babies safety more than anything but he didn't go near her thankfully, as she just shrank back into the corner of the cage silently watching him.

It was almost like he managed to find some inner strength from somewhere, enough to break loose from Jazz and he flung himself at Manderine and tried to use her as a punchbag.  It took both Maizie and Jazz to drag him off her, but that was after he'd already done the damage.  Even the vampberry's were struggling to control him, which has sent Jazz into a state of shock!!


Manderine is now sitting in the corner with a split lip, blood streaming from her nose, cuts all over her face and quite a few nasty red marks that are probably going to turn into very nasty bruises ... she definitely took a good paling.   However, she kind of asked for it in a way, I'm not making excuses for Tapestry's behaviour but while he was losing it she kept on taunting him calling him names, calling him a freak and implying he is simple and stupid.

If the vampberry's hadn't been here to stop him I dread to think what he might have done to her ... I somehow doubt she will be mouthing off at Tapestry again anytime soon!!   I wouldn't have stood a chance against him the rage he was in and I dread to think how his parents handle him when he gets like this.  I'm not sure if this is how he normally behaves or if that horrible woman just wound up the situation making it worse than it normally would have been with her taunting. I've heard about this happening with people who have his condition but knowing about it and witnessing it are two totally different things.


Honey crouches down and kneels beside him, as she leans over him she starts stroking his face gently.  I'm surprised that she doesn't seem in the slightest bit disturbed by what she has just witnessed, like the rest of us are - it's almost like she's used to seeing it. She starts arranging his arms and legs, like she's trying to make him comfortable, I continue watching her, she seems to know what she's doing.  I sit down on the bench still pretty shocked that he gets that bad.

"Cos have you seen him like this before?"  Jazz asks fresh air ... of course now I know he's speaking to his spirit friend who I've only just found out exists.  Apparently not only does the spirit spend a lot of time in that house with that family, and Tapestry in particular,  he also spends a lot of time here with Jazz ... I really wish I could hear how he answers that question.


I carry on watching Honey as she sits down on the floor beside him, she lifts up his head carefully and shuffles herself underneath him trying to pull him up off the floor so he's resting more on her than on the floor. I jump up and help her to lift him a little, she smiles at me for a moment.  Once she's got him where she wants him she starts talking to him quietly, which makes me laugh a little as it's pretty pointless her even doing that really when he's out cold, she gives me the impression this isn't the first time she's done this.

They have made it pretty obviously that they care a lot for each other, and I imagine this wouldn't be the first time she's had to witness this and I guess she must know what she's got to live with in the future if they stay together, but I do worry for a moment about the babies they are having.  Is he even safe to have around a small child, especially a defenseless baby, if this is how far he goes?  This makes me think about the new baby that his parents have had recently.


It really upset me seeing Tapestry like that, and it makes me think that his medical problems must lean more towards the extreme side, which doesn't surprise me really, I've heard the story and seen the baby pictures of him that they have on the wall in the baby unit, he's like one of those miracle stories that you hear about only ever so occasionally, they never expected him to make it, but he managed it somehow.  Usually in these cases, there is always the drawback of the medical complications they have to live with for the rest of their lives.

Now I think I can understand why Mosaic and Coral are so flippant about their brother, the poor kid does seem to have a lot to contend with.  I now think I know why they say they can't get on with him, why they say they avoid him as much as possible, and why they say they don't understand him ... even though they have never really explained to me exactly why.   I've always had to be careful with them, trying not to draw too much attention to myself, not ask too many questions, even though I've wanted to, so that they don't get suspicious ... they think they are just my friends ... if only they knew the truth!!

In the short time that I've known Mosaic and Coral, while they are very close, they have not painted a pretty picture of Tapestry, they've always given me the impression that Tapestry is the outsider ... he's Daddies favourite ... and they make it pretty clear that they are really jealous of that.  From what little bits of information that I have picked up slowly over time, apparently their parents, especially their Dad, wraps Tapestry in cotton wool, he's treated differently, he's fowl mouthed and selfish and doesn't care about anyone but himself, he's a trouble maker and he's always causing problems and he gets away with far too much, his Dad especially makes excuses for everything that he does. Quite often I've heard them refer to him as the spoiled brat.  "Oh you'll never guess what the spoiled brat has done now."  I've lost count of the amount of times I've heard them saying that to each other or their friends.  I wander for a moment how they are feeling right now ... it's been four days since Tapestry has gone missing ... four days of not knowing where or what is happening to their brother ... "

When I sought them out to get to know them on the sly, I'd always hoped I'd get to know the three of them, but it never worked out that way.  Mosaic and Coral were quite easy to get to, Tapestry, however, was virtually impossible to get near, he was either always with his Dad, who I've tried my hardest to avoid, or he was off in places where I really wouldn't be hanging out ... if I'd even tried to get close to him I probably would have made it a little too obvious and blown my cover.  Trying to get close to my own family who don't even know that I exist ... has been pretty hard!!

I nearly faded when I saw Tapestry down here stood behind those bars and I could quite easily have throttled my own so called Mother, finding out that she was responsible for Tapestry being here in the first place, her and that awful friend of hers.


"Honey does he get like this often?"  I ask her curiously.

"Not really, that was pretty bad ... it's mainly his emotions, he can't deal with them like we do, he lashes out, it's verbally most of the time but when he's extremely upset he does lash out with his fists, he's thumped his Dad and both of his Uncles a few times." she looks up at me  "Emotionally he's had too much to contend with recently." She glances over at Manderine and starts scowling at her.  "He virtually smashed up the hospital when Storm faded .... and he hasn't been right since Storm faded because of everything that's gone on since then and I was worried this might be coming, he seriously needs his medication."  she turns back to me and asks  "What set him off anyway?"

"I don't have a clue I was washing up the plates in the toilet."  we both look accusingly towards Manderine.

"Don't look at me!!"  Manderine snaps with a vicious scowl on her face as she's wiping her bloody nose with the back of her hand  "The loony tune psycho just sat there crying then when you touched him he started kicking off ... it was your fault not mine!!"  she starts laughing "Anyway, isn't it about time you told the fruit cake just who you really are!!"  she says glaring at me, I nervously glance at Honey who frowns at me, I really hope she doesn't start questioning me.

"Just SHUT YOUR FACE I've warned you!!"  I glare angrily at the horrible woman sat on the floor ... why did Maizie have to tell her of all people!!!  She is the one who is going to let the cat out of the bag and tell Tapestry, I just know it!! ... and if anyone from that family should have to find out my true identity ... it should be my Dad who finds out first.


Jazz has just been stood there silently until now just staring down at Tapestry deep in thought.  "Maizie go fetch Rivers bed."  he goes quiet for a moment  "I seriously need to get these two out of here!!  That boy needs to go home ... this is one serious MESS!!!"  he scowls at Maizie for a moment then starts pacing up and down.  "That kid is seriously scaring me, how did it take TWO of us to hold him down?  Where did that strength come from?"  he is muttering more to himself.  "Berry only knows what else he's capable of, in his mortal form he's scaring me ... Berry help us if we have to turn him ... and at the moment that is the only way I can see out of this!!!!"  I glare at Jazz for a moment ... to me turning him is no different to fading him ... his life will be over either way!

I've never seen Jazz so stressed out before, he never usually lets anything faze him.  I am actually pretty thankful right now for his connection to that family, the strange strong bond that they seem to have that is making Jazz act very out of character, which is making him put himself through this ... without it Tapestry would have been faded before now without a second thought from the vampberrys and there wouldn't have been a damn thing I could have done to stop it. Sometimes I can't help but worry how far Jazz will let this push him before he gives up and his usual ruthless side kicks in.  I also worry about that original wife of his, when is she due back .. because that is when this is really going to become disastrous.  To deep in though ... I don't even realize what I'm doing ... thinking.

"River ....."  he says as he turns to look at me then sits down beside me on the bench.  "Don't worry about Celeste, she'll be away for another week yet at least ... but this does need cleaning up before she and the others get back ... that's when its out of my hands and yes it's going to be disastrous!!"  I look at him wandering how long I've been sat there carelessly deep in my own thoughts and just what he's been listening to.  "I need you to go to the hospital, steal the boys medical records, get him the medication he needs .... and I noticed our supplies are running very low, you've seriously been slacking!!"


I pull a face at him for a moment, I haven't left this place since I found out Tapestry was here and he knows it.  I've only left for a short time to do some food shopping, I've turned off my phone and not gone home or to work, too scared that they might do something to him while I'm not here.  Losing my job, which is inevitable, is the price that I know I'm going to have to pay.

"Why do you want his medical records?"  I ask a little slow on the uptake too busy worrying about what he might do while I'm not here, he knows exactly how I feel about Tapestry getting out of here safely and why ... because he too now knows who my Dad is.  I've made my feeling very clear while we've been upstairs over the past four days and I worry if he really can't find a way round this, he will do something while my back is turned.


"I need you to go through his medical records ... see if you can find ANYTHING that might give us a clue as to why I can't get into that head of his .... you know the score River, if I can't wipe his memory he can never leave here, I'll have no choice but to turn him, the quicker we find a way into that head of his the quicker he can get home and the quicker this nightmare is over!!" he rubs his head  "Do you think his medication might make a difference?"  he asks me like he is now clutching at straws.

"I doubt it  ... but it's worth a try, you never know ... I'm far from being an expert in that field."  I was very stupid for a split second, I thought about the one person who is an expert in that field and especially Tapestry's problems ... if anyone will be able to give us the answers we need ... it's him.  Jazz read my thoughts.

"NO River!!!  Mango is NOT being dragged into this!!  I'm warning you River, DON'T get doing anything stupid while you at the hospital, you are NOT to speak to your Dad or anyone else for that matter - you go in and out - get what I've asked for and get back here quick smart!!  You know what happens the minute I think I can't trust you anymore!!!" 

He raises his eyebrows for a moment and the expression changes on his face, I think he knows now I am no different to Tapestry, he can't treat us differently, and if he is being truthful about Tapestry's safety then he can't use that threat with me anymore.  He smiles at me for a moment because he's just read my thoughts again  "Although your fate has now changed somewhat ... don't start getting cocky River ... I might not be fading you but I will turn you if I have too ... and I know you hate that option even more!!!"  

I smirk at him ... I knew it!!  I've noticed how much his attitude has totally changed towards me, when I was JUST Maizies son, he always gave me the impression that he didn't like me very much and held me at arms length, he treated me with contempt most of the time, since he's found out I'm not just Maizies son, he has treated me completely differently, suddenly he's nothing but nice, and that is the only thing that gives me a little hope that he is being truthful when he says he will get Tapestry home safely.


"Yes ... Yes!!  I know ... I'll be on my best behavior as usual!!"  I snap at him, I look down at my watch  "It's best I leave it till after dark, the hospital is going to be too busy at this time of the day, you know I haven't been near the place for four days, and I've got more chance of being spotted during the daytime, and I can't get into the path lab for bloods until it's closed for the day and everyone who works there has gone home."

"Whatever ... I just want it done today!!"  he pulls a face at me  "and don't get leaving without our supply's ...the last thing I want to be doing is going out on the streets hunting for my next meal ... attracting even more attention to ourselves!!"

 
He stands up and watches Tapestry and Honey for a moment before he walks off leaving the door to the cage ajar which at first puzzles me, it's not like him to be so slack.  I wander for a moment if he's giving me the chance to get him out of there ... then I laugh at myself for being so stupid ... he would never do that, Honey for a start can have her memory cleared, and he would never let either of them walk out of here knowing that vampberrys exist, without doing that first.

It was then that I heard a load bang and knew instantly why he'd left the door ajar, their hearing is a lot better than ours, he heard Maizie coming with the bed.  I stood laughing at her, watching her carrying it single handed down the stone steps like it weighs absolutely nothing.  She manovered the bed through the cage door on her own and drops it down into the cage, without saying a word she picks up Tapestry off the floor, again effortlessly, and lay him on the bed.

"Come on River ..." she says as she stands in the open doorway, her hand on the door waiting to close it behind her.  She makes me laugh, the way she always calls me River, she never slips up by calling me by my real name even when she's cross ... if she was just going to avoid it, why give me his damn name in the first place if she was just going to make me use a false name when I moved to Sugar Valley so that she can hide her secret?!

I also notice she can't bring herself to even look at Manderine, who is supposed to be her friend, she never even checked on her injuries, this amuses and annoys me at the same time, that woman has never cared about anyone other than herself, and I tell her what I think about her in my head which I know she's listening to because of the look that flashes across her face.


"I'm staying here ..... let me out at six so I can do a blood run."  she rolls her eyes at me and mutters something under her breath that I didn't catch, as she slams the door noisily behind her .... she HATES me being down here with Tapestry in case I slip up or give the game away.

I think she knows already, this has all gone way too far to put a stop to it now.  The moment this is over, they can wipe my memory and I'm out of here, she's lost me completely now, not that she ever had me in the first place ... she's always only ever been the woman who gave birth to me, my Grandmother was the woman I classed as my Mother, she was the one who brought me up.  I seriously don't know why I've helped Maizie play her game for the past two years ...  I'm not going to help her keep her dirty secrets anymore!!   I'm taking Tapestry home, and Mango, he can find out exactly who I am ... whatever happens from there, is up to him.

Honey is already fussing over Tapestry, she puts the pillow under his head that had fallen on the floor when Maizie put the bed down and starts arranging his arms and legs again to make him comfortable.  It's kind of cute the ways she takes care of him.  While she's fussing I pull back his eyelids to check his pupils. His hat is very close to his eyes so I start to pull it off his head.


"DON'T!!"  she snaps and slaps the back of my hand, I laughed at her as she straightens his hat up, now she's just getting a little too obsessive!!  "If he wakes up and his hat is missing ... he'll kick off again!! ... he's a little neurotic over that hat being on his head!!"  she laughs  "I swear the only time he takes it off is to wash his hair ... he thinks it helps hide his earing aid.

"I didn't realise he had a problem with his hearing as well, he never mentioned it when we were talking about his medical problems!"

"No, he probably wouldn't, it's the thing he's most touchy about ... don't mentions it to him, he'll go mad if he finds out I've told you about it!!"

"How long have you known him?"  I ask her curiously as I sit down on the bench, she moves away from the bed and comes over to sit down next to me, she just frowns at me for quite a while ... I worry that she might be taking a good look at my face.


"Since we were babies"  she says finally still frowning  "Who are you anyway?  SHE said you should tell Tap who you really are?  So who are you and why are you spending so much time down here with us, why aren't you upstairs with THEM?"   As soon as the words leave her mouth that awful woman in the corner of the room starts laughing, that horrible laugh of hers.

"I'm nobody, just ignore her, she's just an evil witch!!!  and I'm not one of THEM either ... I only work for them because of Maizie, I get their blood for them mostly to keep them off the streets which stops them from hurting innocent people, but it doesn't mean that I like them.  I thought you'd be pleased of some company as you only have HER for company while Tap is sleeping."  she's looking at me now in a strange way  "Besides, I am a doctor and I want to make sure he is going to be okay ... I need to stay here just in case he wakes up in the same mood that he was in before he was sedated!"

"He won't ... well he shouldn't ... but he's without his medication ..."

"Exactly he is going to start bouncing off the walls soon and you said yourself, emotionally he's had too much to cope with lately, I'd rather be safe than sorry especially with the condition you are in!!"


She seemed to buy what I said and didn't ask me any more awkward questions, we sat chatting and watching Tapestry sleeping until Maize came down just before six to let me out of the cage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Six o'clock has come and gone and I leave the den nervously because I know Maizie is now sat watching Tapestry, without his medication, which he has been without for too long, neither of us trust that he is going to wake up normally without flipping out again.

I make my way through the grounds of the old deserted warehouse to the high 8 foot wall that keeps the movement inside these grounds completely hidden from the outside world.   I carefully look at the security monitor to make sure the coast is clear ... the meadow is empty ... so I hit the brick in the wall.  A section of the wall opens silently and I slip through it quickly before it automatically closes again behind me.


I've always thought it is pretty clever how the vampberrys have managed to hide their den and the entrance to it.  The walls surrounding the old deserted warehouse are too high for anyone in the outside world to see over them, so they are able to move around in secrecy.  The only visible entrance into the grounds of the warehouse are the large iron double gates that are now securely chained, and locked to keep the outside world out.  Weeds, grass and plants strangle the bottom of the now permanently closed double gates that have rusted up quite badly over time and they leave the impression on anyone who looks at them, that it has been many years since anyone has even entered both the grounds of the deserted warehouse or the warehouse itself  ... but of course that's not true because the vampberry's have resided there for years. A hidden security camera monitors one section of the high wall which separates the warehouse grounds from the adjacent meadow, a hidden door in the wall is the way that we gain access to their den.

Once I'm the other side of the wall I'm stood in a small space between the warehouse wall and a very huge rock that hides the hidden door from view.  I crouch down behind the overgrown bushes and look cautiously around the rock to make sure that the meadow is still clear ... which it is ... so I step out into the open.


 I take in a very deep breath, breathing in the fresh air which always tastes of freedom when I am this side of the wall, clean air that isn't tainted with the smell of blood.  I can now finally relax and I can now think my own thoughts, instead of song lyrics, without worrying who might be listening into them.

I move quickly away from the rock and make my way over to the bench and sit down, I need to take a moment to pull my thoughts together, I need to do SOMETHING about this situation going on inside the vampberry den, but I don't know if I dare. I sit there with my head in my hands while I think.

Something suddenly occurs to me ... I look around nervously, quite stupidly really because it's not like I can see him, I'm wandering, that spirit friend of Jazz's could be following me and I'd never even know it. I've always found it strange how Jazz and the others can trust me to come and go .... I am the only mortal that knows about their existence and has ever be allowed to step foot out of that place knowing the truth.  I wander if Jazz has had that spirit following me all this time without me knowing, what better way to keep an extra close eye on me just to be on the safe side.


After only just a few minutes I hear a twig snap in the silence of the deserted meadow.  I look up quickly towards the direction the noise came from and see a solitary figure walking slowly towards me.  At first I can't see him properly as he walks in the shadow of the trees which makes it too dark to even see what colour he is. I can't see his face either as he walks his head down like he's deep in thought.

As he gets closer to me and he walks out into the open where it is a lot lighter, I can see that he is a purple and green mixed berry and instantly recognize him.

Great ... this is all I need!!

He is the very last person I need to be talking too right now!!


"Hey River, what you doing out here?"  Parsley says as he sits down on the bench beside me.

"Probably the same as you mate, thinking space ... you okay?"  he looks really down and pretty rough, although I am not really surprised, I guess what they must be going through is bound to be tearing that family up.

"Not really .... I had to get out of the house, everyone is driving me insane!!"  he glances across at me  "I guess you've heard about what happened at Storms funeral?"  

"Yeah .... I'm sorry mate, it must be awful for you, and your family!"  I had to feel sorry for him I know that horrible green woman is his mother, his twin brother has just faded and Tapestry is his cousin ....  "They haven't found them yet then?" I ask even though I know full well what the answer to that question is going to be, he shakes his head a look of misery written all over his face "How's everyone holding up?"

"Not good as you can imagine ... everyone is all over the place at the moment ... my Uncle Mango who is usually our rock has gone completely cuckoo because his spoiled brat has gone missing, my Dad's permanently wasted because of my Mother and what she's done, and Straw is totally doing my head in, she's being a right drama queen, I think she forgets sometimes that I'm going through this too and just how much I've had to go through since my brother faded!!!"  I frown at him wandering why Strawberry is getting so worked up, so I ask him  "You know the two who have been snatched - Tapestry and Honey, well Honey is Straw's twin sister as well as Tap's girlfriend."


"Oh!! .. sorry I didn't realize she was Strawberry's sister!!"  Now that did surprise me  "I don't actually really know either Tapestry or Honey very well."

"No I guess you wouldn't, Honey always hung about with Storm and Tap ... and Tap he never hangs out with us thankfully, most of the time he was off causing trouble with my brother ... and you know what happened to Storm ... that was all Tap's fault!!"  Parsley says looking down at the floor and starts kicking his heal into the grass quite forcefully like he's angry.

"You don't think much of Tapestry do you!?"  he looks up at me.

"Don't get me wrong River, I do love him, he's my cousin we've grown up together, even though he's a right royal pain in the backside most of the time ..."  he laughs for a second as he shows me the underside of his arm  "See this!!"  he points at quite a hollow scar on his arm  "These past few days I haven't been able to stop looking at it!!! We have all got one or two of these ... Tap's always had the devil in him, he used to bite chunks out of all of us quite regularly when we were kids!!" he smiles for a moment then his faces twists up and I can see the tears welling up in his eyes "I hate to think what he might be going through .... I'd give anything for him to come home safely right now ... "  he says as he puts his head down


"I'm sure he will mate, you just need to stay positive!!"  I put my hand on his shoulder and we just sat in silence for a while ... this is totally killing me having to sit here lying my face off and watching him get upset, when I could quite easily put a stop to his pain.  I also know there is a hell of a lot he isn't saying, his Mother is involved in this, I notice he is being careful not to mention her, but I guess he must be really torn inside over what she's done. "How are Coral and Mosaic holding up?"

"So ... so ... you know just like the rest of us ...  they were actually talking about going to the Alley tonight ... to take their mind off things ... I'm not going and I doubt Straw will, so I guess you'll see them there later."  he smiles at me  "You'll get to meet my half sister Fern too, she's tagging along tonight, she's staying with us too at the moment."

"Really!!  I didn't know you had a half sister!!"

"Yeah ..."  he looks up at me nervously like he's now regretting even mentioning her  "Sore subject, I've got two brothers and two sisters on my Mom's side ... I only speak to Fern ... not the other three ... it's complicated and if you don't mind I'd rather not talk about them!!"



"That's fine I understand!!"  I smile at him  "I didn't think anyone would turn up at the Alley tonight with what's going on .... so unfortunately I've made other plans for tonight." 

"Shame, I think they could do with someone different to talk too right now, we've all been camped out at my Uncles for the past four days, the whole family and the extended branch, and it's starting to drive everyone nuts as you can imagine!!"

"I bet!! ... talking about my plans ... I'm sorry Parsley I'd love to stop and talk longer, but I really need to get a move on before I'm late!!"  I can't sit there any longer, seeing how upset he keeps getting I don't trust myself not to say anything I shouldn't, and the time is ticking, I'm sitting here wasting time when I really want to hurry up and get back.

"Okay mate, I'll see you soon, no doubt when things settle down and get back to normal .... if they ever do!"  The way he said  'if they ever do'  really got to me ... I can hear the doubt in his voice, I just know they are giving up, losing hope and all of them must be thinking the worst!!!


I said goodbye and quickly walk away from Parsley who stays sat on the bench..  I feel awful!!!  I could so easily end this right now, by telling them where Honey and Tapestry are .... if only Parsley knew he is sat only just a few feet away from them.  Unfortunately I know telling their families about their whereabouts is only going to be a temporary fix that will put everyone in danger ... if they go storming in to get them out it would end in total carnage with the vampberrys who will protect their hide out and existence at any cost.

I am doing the best thing keeping my mouth shut.


I have no choice for everyone's safety but to just sit back and wait, Jazz has promised me he will do everything he can to get Tapestry and Honey out of there and safely back home ... I just have to trust he means what he says.

I can't help but feel torn, I can't help but think about the pain that family must be going through ... I'm feeling it myself damn it, even though I don't think I really have the right too ... somehow I need to try and put their minds at rest it's the least I can do ... but how?


I make my way out of the meadow and start walking towards the hospital.

I think about Mango for a minute ... and I think I know exactly what I'm going to do ... but first I need to make a little detour, I need to pop home quickly before I go to the hospital!!

I just have to hope that Jazz doesn't have that spirit following me!!

    1. Lol - yeah I enjoyed watching it too!! That woman is going to suffer in so many ways (evil grin!!)

  3. I knew Mango was River's dad. The hint only confirmed it. Lime should learn to keep her mouth shut and maybe Tap wouldn't have used her as a punching bag. But I don't feel sorry for her, she deserved it. I'm in suspense to know how Honey and Tapestry get out of there.

  4. I feel so bad for Tap. I know he's probably not the easiest person to live with, but everyone treats him like a child then gets surprised when he acts like one. I know its part of the story! Hehe. Great story by the way, I can't stop reading it.
