Chapter 4 THE ABDUCTION (Part 2)

EMILY

After breakfast, I helped Mom take out the dishes and clean the table while Matteo goes to prepare for them to leave. I leaned on the table with my hands folded to my chest while staring at Matteo giving him my puppy eyes.

'Em~it's not going to work', he uttered throwing me a quick glance.

'Please just this once. C'mon you guys, it's so boring down there. I promise I won't do anything stupid', I said looking at Mom.

'I'm sorry Baby, maybe next time ', she replied walking towards me.

'Mom you always say that. C'mon I'm not a kid anymore', I uttered disappointed.

'Next time, I promise', she said rubbing my arms.

I had no choice than to nod in agreement. This is usually the case everytime they go out, they leave me here like I'm some kid.

Mom keeps saying 'next time' but when another time comes she utters the same word. They make it sound like I'm a child, like I'm going to run off or something.

'Mom we're leaving in 5!', Matteo announced.

'Ouch', I whispered giving him the middle finger.

'Childish', he said laughing.

I stood there praying that they would change their minds while they kept packing up to leave.

'Em, we're leaving now, make sure you lock the door and go back to your room', Matteo said and I nodded.

'I'm serious make sure you are in your room the whole time we are out. Don't wander around'

'I know!', I exclaimed hugging Mom.

'Bye Baby', Mom waved goodbye and with that they were gone.

After locking the door I slumped on the sofa.

'What am I gonna do?', I wondered looking around.

I stood up heading directly to Mom's room,Mom doesn't let me in her room and the only time I have to get in is when they're out.

'No makeup ', I whispered closing the drawer.

When we were little, Matteo and I would go into our parents room and play with Mom's makeup and Dad's clothes,we kept it going for years without anyone noticing but after our lives changed, I don't get to play with Matteo anymore so I usually sneak into Mom's room alone.

Moving away from the drawer, I opened Mom's cupboard of clothes, feeling the texture of the dresses all I could do is imagine myself wearing a dress with heels and putting on makeup looking all pretty and dol.....

'What the...!', I exclaimed snapping out of my thoughts.

Closing the cupboard I walk slowly towards the living room because I heard a sound from there.

Moving closer, I could sense that there was someone else there, over the years the only thing I could train were my senses.

'Anyone there?', I asked perking to see if there was really someone there. I heard sounds of rustling behind me, before I had the chance to check it out, I'm covered in darkness.
