FlashBack.

“Mom, please, mom am sorry,” I said when she roughly fully pushed me, making me land on a wooden chair.

“I am not your mother” shouted while lighting a candle. She came closer with the candle sited in her right hand. She placed the candle on my lap making the hot oily substance drop on my lap. It was burning my skin.

Why did I wear shorts today?

“Am sorry, I didn’t know Alice will do that” I bit my lips to stop more tears from dropping. Mom only rolled her eyes every time I spoke.

Alice is my best friend or should I say my best friend. Alice is the only one that knew what I was going through, she has been there for me all the time. Today Alice made a huge decision without asking me.

She reported to the police, and she told them about what I was going through, and how my foster parent abused me. When the officers came, mom was very furious, she tried to convince them that nothing was happening.

Dad and mom made it look like Alice was mentally unstable, she needed help, I was forced to testify in court, and I lied about Alice.

Believe me, I wish I could help her, I wish I could stop everything from happening, But that day Dad gave me two options.

Alice's death

Or

Alice is to be taken to the asylum.

After some days Alice was taken to the mental asylum for treatment, I go there every day to beg for her dedication, I can never forgive myself for what happened to Alice, she only wished good for me.

“am sorry Alice, I am". I tried visiting Alice in the asylum but she refused to meet me.

End of FlashBack.

I woke up with someone softly shaking me.

“Wake up, wake up” I heard a faint voice. I slowly opened my eyes to be welcomed with darkness, I was having a nightmare again.

“Are you up” I heard the voice again. It seemed like a girl's voice.

“Who are you?.” I said to the voice that woke me up.

“your new friend”.

I was confused when realization was drawn to me, the new friend he was talking about, the girl that saved me from almost being raped. But what if she is like him? what if she will do bad things to me? My body hurt from last night's events, I tried moving but it hurt more.

“Will… you… hurt... Me” I said while stammering.

I heard a short laugh “no”.

She seems nice, maybe she will let me.

“Will you let me go?” I said already knowing the answer.

She didn’t say anything for almost two minutes, I thought she won’t speak but she did.

“No, he will kill me if I do,” she said.

I turned my attention to the noise my stomach was making, I am starving, and I was about to ask her for food when she spoke.

“I can take off your blindfold if you want”.

Yay, do it.

“Yes”.

My blindfold was immediately taken off, My vision was a little bit blur, I tried blinking my eyes so that I could see properly, The room is small, very small, It was almost like we were in a box, it was painted brown

.

Who paints a room brown, that's odd.

There were lights all around the room making it so bright, there was this hammer and other tools scattered on the floor. There are no windows but there was one wooden door.

I was right I was sited on a hard concrete floor.

I turned to the left to look at my savior. She isn’t what I expected, she looked crazy, she is fair, her hair was scattered and messy, she bit her lips and she was playing with her dress. She kept scratching her hair and talking to herself occasionally.

She seems mentally unstable

If she is what I think she is, I will be able to track her easily.

“Hi,” I said making her look at me.

“Hello”.

How do you make a crazy person obey you?

I don’t know what to do. or how to talk to her? That is when I got an idea.

“I'm Sara, what’s your name”.

“Evelyn”.

"That is a good name".

"Really?".

"Yes, you know I have a sister named Evelyn, she loves to cook and explore food.

Lie, I don't even have a sister my inner voice said.

"Wow! That's amazing, I love food a lot, your sister seems like fun".

“ yes she is, what do you like doing” I suddenly ask her.

‘hmmm... I like dressing up” she said.

That gave me an idea.

“I love dressing up too, would you like me to dress you up”.

She nodded a “yes”.

“but for that, you will have to untie me”.

“no, you will run”.

“I won’t, I promise” I gave her my best puppy eyes.

“ok”.

She stood up and turned me around, she began untying my hands and then my legs once she was done.

“ok let's dress up, I love pink it's like the best color ever." She said.

I nodded and smiled when I got

I pushed her roughly on the floor but not so hard to hurt her I used that opportunity to grab the ropes and tie her. She was trying to say something but her voice hardly came out.

I took the hammer to advance to the door, There was a huge lock on the door, it was locked from the inside, I used the hammer to break the lock.

It's not as easy as they show it on TV my inner voice said.

A slow creepy sound came along as I opened the door, I was welcomed by trees, and I was about to step out when I heard a voice.

“Where do you think you are going?" The voice was loud.

I didn’t dare look behind to see who it was, I decided to do what Alice will always say.

“Run, Run fast, and don’t look back”.

Zack's P.O.V.

Mature content.

I grabbed her ass with my left hand, slowly grinding her core to my shaft, I captured her lips in a second, the kiss was hot, I grabbed her boobs softly pressing and teasing her erect nipples, I sucked her tits while squeezing the other one and harshly pressing it.

“Ah, fuck baby” she moaned, “go deeper, faster”. I went on faster, bringing her close to me, her back was rested on the bed, and she kept moaning and begging for release. I was about to cum when my bedroom door flung open, revealing someone I didn’t want to see now.

Dad.

“Oh, shit,” I said while trying to cover myself. His green eyes met mine.

My dad stood there looking at us, he was there for a minute then he left, I quickly got off the blondie immediately wearing my pants.

“umm. Emily, I have to leave” I said but she only rolled her eyes.

“It's Polly jerk”.

I waited for her to get dressed and after a minute she left, I knew why my dad came we’re leaving today, we had to move to a new town due to dad's big mouth, Last month was the election, he was going against peter Queen, peter is more powerful than Dad, peter wanted to destroy dad by all means, during their speech, they made a deal whoever loses has to leave the town and never come back.

So stupid and immature of them.

Dad was so arrogant he agreed and well we all can see who won the election.

I had a last look at my home, where I grew u, I had a lot of memories attached here, I loved this town, I had few friends, and most people avoided me because of my character, Everyone saw me as a playboy, a guy that doesn’t value girls, who sleep around and spoils every girl's life, a man that values his money more than anything. Believe that cause that is true, I don't care about their emotions, I always tell girls don't get attached but they do. I have never touched a girl without her permission, I always get consent first. I don't rape that's stupid. I keep forgetting their names, not my fault. Being one of the richest and most successful businesses men came with benefits every girl wanted me and well I got every girl I wanted, I managed all of Dad’s business and his every company.

Everyone still thinks am a terrible person, a bad person but I barely care about those kinds of people, being the only child of my parents I have gotten everything I always want be it girls, money, or cars. I got it all.

I had a last glance at my hometown. I quickly pulled out my phone when I saw a text from Bryan.

Bryan is one of my closest friends, we met when he came for a job opening in my office, I gave him the job and well I met him a couple of times at one of those fancy parties and from there we became good friends. Bryan is quite a nerd and very sensitive that why does he keeps getting played by those girls? A typical nerd with glasses, goofy hair, baby blue eyes, baggy clothes, and an office bag.

Bryan: Hey, have u left yet?

Zack: yes, could you do something for me

Bryan: anything for you man.

Zack: I need your help, Research this new town I’m moving to. I want to know where I can get the best business deals and best plot deals.

Bryan: Sure anything for you.

Zack: Take care of my company for me.

Bryan: sure thing.

Bryan is a tech freak, he knows everything about the internet and computers, There is nothing he can’t find up there. I wanted to know how the town was, but Dad refuse to tell me anything. I didn’t have any time to look up the town on the internet, leaving the town I had to arrange everything and I needed to leave my company in the hands of someone I trust.

I slept through the whole trip, I saw a huge mansion in front of me, it was isolated from the town, there were trees all around it, and it had like over two houses nearby but all the trees made it a little hard to see those houses, my dad liked a quiet place where there are not many people.

The house was beautiful, there were flowers all around it. The living room is painted royal blue, there were large glass windows all around the house, and one gets a beautiful sight. The floor is made of sea-decorated ceramic tiles all the room.

A chandelier hung at the center of the room, it was so large and beautiful, the living room was large beautiful Italian chairs sat in the room with a large carpet at the center.

On the left there was a bar with all kinds of liquor, there were stools around the bar. I looked to the right to see a small study.

"I would be going to my room.” My dad said bringing me out of my thoughts.

I nodded an “okay”.

The sun was shining, it was so bright. The town seems a little quiet, I quickly went into my room to freshen up and start dad's stupid tradition. Dad has this tradition where I take Shepard’s pie to our new neighbor as an I’m your new neighbor gift, Mom started this tradition a long time ago and after she died, we decided to carry on with her traditions.

I hate meeting new people

I took my bath and lay on my bed to get a rest.

Knock knock.

I stood on my neighbor's porch waiting for them to open the door.

“Come in” I heard a voice, it sounded motherly. I pushed the door to welcome myself into their home. It was big and beautiful, the walls were painted in Ash, with a large comfortable couch that was kept across the room, large television, and a beautiful carpet, their home was beautiful, everything in the house was in Ash.

They must love the color a lot

There was a weird door by the left of the room, the door was engraved with beautiful designs and writings, and there was a large symbol on the door. I was nearing the door when I heard a voice.

“what are you doing?’ I turned to be welcomed by an elderly woman, she is fat her eyes are big, she is dark in complexion she has this motherly aura but she seemed weird.

“Nothing, I’m sorry for snooping around”

“No problem, have a sit,” she said while pointing at the chair.

She seemed nice, I tried asking her about the door but she ignored the question, there was something strange about this woman.

Sara's P.O.V.

I ran I didn’t look back, I couldn’t see anything apart from large trees, it was cold, and my stomach growled because of all the hunger. My heart pounded I was getting tired, my feet were weak, and I couldn’t run anymore. I was about to stop when I noticed a ray of sunlight there was a road, it wasn’t far.

I limped towards the road, it was quiet, and I didn’t see any single person. I raised my hand waving to stop any car that comes. I couldn’t speak, my throat was dry, I tried shouting for help but I couldn’t.

I couldn’t breathe properly, I was losing hope when I saw a car, I raised my hand trying to stop the car but all went in vain, I decided to go further before he sees me. I limped further trying to find a house or cottage or someone that can help me.

I walked for hours but couldn’t find anything or anyone, Everywhere looked the same, trees all around.

I stayed under a tree to take a rest when I noticed a house, it was far but I could see the roof, I was tired but I decided to walk further, the further I came the more I could see the house, it was close.

I walked for over 5 minutes to get to the house, The house is large, and it looks beautiful, I was about to approach the door when I felt some hard touching my head, I raised my hand to touch my hair, and someone hit me. Before I could figure out who it was I fainted.

Police Station.

Officer Emily's P.O.V.

She sat putting one leg on top of another, she wore a royal blue gown, it was so tight she looked so uninterested in everything that was going on, she held a cigarette in her hand, she slowly took the cigarette touching her lips, she looked like she was in her mid-forties, she was fair had pimples all over her face, she wore makeup it was too much.

Who dresses like this when her daughter is missing?

She seems a bit weird though.

I called her last week to inform her to meet me so we could talk about her daughter, She made excuses of being busy but yet she still had to come today.

“Let me cut it short, Did you kidnap your daughter, or Did you do it yourself? Or you got someone to do it for you”.

Any officer would ask her that question if she keeps dressing like this and gives giving this stupid attitude.

She gave me a cold glare after she adjusted her sitting position.

“I don’t understand what you mean officer, I have been worried about my angel for days and now that you can’t find her you are blaming Emma”.

That's why you are dressed fancy. My inner voice

“Your action doesn’t say the same Mrs. Knight”. I was pretending to be tough, well don’t blame me I'm just 22 years. I try and pretend am tough to scare the criminals.

“What do you mean?, What are you trying to say?”.

“Your daughter has been missing for days and you are all dressed up and Mr. Knight can’t even come to the police station because he is busy” She looked quiet, I was hitting the spot “ and Mrs. Knight you tell me what kind of mother will you be when I have to force you to come to talk about your daughter and Mrs. Knight based on this pictures, you seemed happy last night,” I said taking out some pictures from the drawer. “it clearly shows you are okay with your angel missing”.

She looked at me with bitterness. “It still doesn’t prove anything and are you spying on me I could get you fired for that and Are you trying to accuse me of kidnapping my daughter, come on officer don’t be stupid " She shouted.

“Don’t raise your voice, you are at the police station, not your house?” I said trying to sound serious. “and we are not spying on you”. And based on our reports there was a complaint on the 3rd of January last year, a girl named Alice reported an abuse case, it says here you abuse your daughter Sara and then after her report, she was no longer seen again” I said pointing at the report.

She kept quiet for a while, it seemed like forever until she spoke.

“Since you have carried out research, you must be aware the girl is mentally unstable and I feel sick I will like to take your leave, and please you better solve this case and stop pinning blames ”

Lie.

She quickly stood up, adjusting her dress.

“I look forward to meeting you again,” I said taking my hand out for her to shake. She turned her heels and left.

Last night she went to a party at a club, last few days I appointed informers to keep tabs on her, it is like she doesn’t care about her daughter and Mr. Knight keeps pressuring the police to find his daughter, I have reassured him three times that we will try our best and find her.

It is a weird family, the mother seems like she doesn’t care about her daughter, she goes to parties and enjoys herself while the father seems like he can’t live without his daughter, I need to find out how their relationship is with Sara.

I quickly pressed the intercom.

“ officer Lewis,” I said softly.

“yes, ma'am”.

“get me information about this Knight family and arrange a meeting with Alice, every little piece of information is important”.

“Yes, ma'am”.

“And focus mostly on Mrs. Knight, I want to know everything about her, and everything she does, follow her steps and be her shadow.”

“Ok ma'am, I will get the informers to start working”.

I am sure Alice sure knows something about Sara's family, she is the missing puzzle to solve this kidnapping issue.
