at her and she still did’t leave so when she went to go pick up my baby I took it from her and told her to get out and she did” I confessed. “You scrammed at my mother?” he asked and I could see the anger in his eyes. “Yes” I answered in a strong steady voice acting like I am not afraid of him even though somewhere deep inside of me I wanted to run and throw up. “I get you back for disrespecting my mother” she warned me. “Whatever” I said while opening the door.

I tried to hold back my fear until he left. He looked at me with evil in his eyes while he walked out the door. “I hope he doesn’t anything stupid” I said to Lexie. She giggled in responds and I took her out of her carseat and sat her on the ground. Ashley sat down next to her and started to play with her. Hey Ash can you play with her while I go take a shower?” I asked. “Yes” she asked in a plan voice because she hardly heard me.

She was to busy playing with Lexie. I went to my bedroom and picked up the towel that I used the other night from my bedroom floor. I went and took a quick shower. When I got down I wrapped a towel around me and went to the bedroom to dress myself. I was putting on my night pants when I heard Lexie crying. I tried to put my pants on as fast as I can. Then all of the sudden, Lexie stopped crying. Oh well I thought to myself.

I took my time walking down the hall way and that when I turned the corner. I looked into the living room and that when I saw both of my children gone. “AHAHAHAHA” I scared really loudly. I cried while I walked over to the T.V because it had a note on it. “If you ever want your children back then you will learn to show respect” she letter read and I whipped the tears out of my eyes so it was easier to read. “You will do whatever I say and you will get your kids back” it contained. I looked up from the note and looked out the window. There car was gone, I thought to myself.

I looked down at the note and it said “if you want your kids back then meet me at 2226 cave street and don’t call, write, or send the cops there. If you do I promise I will have both of your sweet daughter dead” the letter warned. I took a deep breath in and I scrammed a loud scream. I jumped in my car and sped off. When I pulled up to the house saw this guy outside of the house and he told me that I had to come inside. I walked into the house and I saw a lot of people and there was loud music playing. “What is going on” I asked the person. He didn’t respond but I think its because the music is so loud and there are morons hollering.

We went through the living room, kitchen, then dinning room. We went up the stairs and down a looooooong hallway. He opened the fourth door on the right and stepped backing, telling me to enter first. I walked through the door and saw nothing. It was pitch black in the room. I went to go reach for the light when I heard a females voice. “You don’t want to do that” she warned.

“Why?” I tested her. “Come” she told me. “How? I can’t see anything” I informed her. “Feel your way to the bed and sit” she said in a rude voice. I didn’t say anything after that. I felt my way to the bed and sat down.

“What do you want with my kids” I asked trying to hold back the tears. I didn’t want to start crying in front of them because I didn’t wanna seem weak. “We don’t want anything with your kids” she told me and I felt her looking in my direction. “Then why did you take them” I questioned so I can get more information out of her. “I want you” She said and I heard the chair squeak and foot steps. The steps seemed to get closer and closer and then I could feel the heat of her body. When I finally got enough courage to speak I said “Why do you want me” I asked in a strong voice but I knew she could tell that it was all a act. “Thats something you’re gonna have figure out” she said and I felt her sit beside me.

I didn’t say anything and neither did I. After a few seconds of silence I heard the door handle jiggle. I jumped up off the bed and thats when I felt someone grab me. A man picked me up and threw me in the closet. I put my ear up to the door to try and hear what they were saying. I heard the door swing open and the males voice said “Excuse me. We are using this room.” Another females voice spoke up “sorry. We just thought the door was stuck.”

I didn’t hear anything after that. After a few seconds of just standing there in compete silence, the closet door got flung open. “You will do as I say” said the males voice. “Okay” I said trying to act strong but you could hear the fear in my voice. “Go home. Get some rest. When you wake up there will be a letter beside your bed on your night stand. It will be leaning against the power lamp and your house phone” he told me.

“How do you know so much about my house” I questioned him. “I know everything” he told me and I cold feel my legs getting weak. “O….o..k..aaaa…yy”I in a shaking voice. He put him hand on my lower back, guiding me to the door. Every step I take I feel like this guys hand is getting lower and lower I thought to myself. I tripped and fell over a chair and hit the ground hard. I felt his hand reach out and touch mine. I grab his hand and he pulled me up.

I started walking and thats when felt this guys hand slid down to my butt. I turned around and said “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” I questioned. “I think I was about to touch your butt” he answered and grabbed me by the waste. “Stop it” I warned him. He leaned in towards me and I thought he was going to try and kiss me but he whispered “I can do whatever I want to you” in my ear. The way you said it made me shiver. I walked over to the door and thats when I felt him again but this time his body was on mine.

I was pinned to the door and I felt a small kiss on my neck. He bit my ear softly and whispered “next time lose the attitude or I’ll make you” and I could feel the tears stinging the back of my eyes but I refuse to have these horrible people see me cry. He slowly removed his body from mine and I flung open the door. I heard foot steps behind me and I saw that man staring at me. I began to walk faster and so did he. I practically ran out of the house and jumped in the car. Seconds later I saw the passengers door open and there he was, standing there with a big smile.

“Did you think you could get away that fast?” He asked. I didn’t say anything. I looked at him to study his face and it wasn’t that bad to look at. He looked like he was maybe twenty-three or twenty-five. He has strong features. His cheek bones are high and noticeable. He has full pink lips and from where I am sitting I could see a six pack behind his white, wet wife beater.

“Are you gonna stare?” He asked and that pulled me out of my thoughts. “Why are you here?” I asked back. He sat in the car shut the door. “What do you think you’re doing?” I asked. “I think I got orders to go home with you and make sure you don’t do anything stupid” he informed me.

“No no no no no no” I said while shaking my head. “Do you want your children back?” he asked. I put my seatbelt on and he did the same. After a fifteen minute drive I was finally home. I jumped out and walked up to the house and unlocked the front door. I walked in and sat down on the couch and started to flip through the channels.

“Alrighty. Lets get down to business shall we?” the guy said. “No” I told him. “Yes” he said back. I didn’t say anything after that. He sat down next to me on the couch and took the remote. He shut off the T.V and I stared at him.

“You and I will do everything together so we know you don’t try and do anything stupid. I will go everywhere you go. To the store, upstairs, downstairs; you name it ill be there right by your side” he informed me. “You are not sleeping with me” I told him. “Ooh yes I am” he said and got up while winking at me. “Why are you flirting?” I asked. “I think your cute” he said.

“How can you say that when you stole my babies from me?” I asked in a rude and demanding voice. “I don’t know about anything. I haven’t even heard anything about stealing babies” he said kinda puzzled. “What do you mean?” I questioned. “I get a phone call saying that I have to keep you in line and to make sure you don’t call the cops and here I am. I don’t ask questions, I just do as they say” he told me.

“Well they took my kids from me and I don’t know why” I told him. “Im sorry” he said while taking a few steps towards me. I felt a tear run down my cheek and then he reached out his hand and whipped my face. “Lets go to bed?” he asked. I nodded my head in responds and when we got to the bedroom I opened my closet door. “Can you please leave so I can change?” I asked.
“No can do. I will turn around for you though” he told me. I heard him turn around and I changed into my nightclothes. I went over to the closet and grabbed a blanket and throw it at him. “You and I are not sharing a blanket. Get on the other side of the bed” I told him. “Fine Miss. Bossy” he commented. I walked over to the bed ad crawled into bed.
I couldn’t fall asleep so I just laid there. I was am waiting for this guy to go to sleep. I don’t even know his name I thought to myself. When I looked at the clock it said 2:30. I slowly moved out of bed thinking he was asleep when I felt the bed move. I stood up and there he was standing by the door waiting for me. “What are you doing?” I asked.
“Im waiting on you” he remarked. “Why?” I asked again. “Where ever you go, I go. So were are we going?” He asked while turning around to face me. “I was going to go watch some T.V because I can’t fall asleep” I confessed. “Why were you trying to be sneaky about it?” He questioned me.

“Because I would like a little alone time” I said kinda rudely. “So what are we gonna be watching?” He asked me while walking out the door
