"And good luck with
that."
I
was in shock. "Like I'm
going to tell you..." I tried to seem like she
didn't scare me. "I know where you are
Christine." her words slurred. My best bet was that she
was once again drunk, and I don't know how she found me.
So, I asked,"How?". "I talked to a friend of
yours. Linda? Do you even remember that air-head? I called...
her mom. And she-she was confused. I-I asked to speak with
Linda. She told m-me, where you went. Well yeah." she
said through the phone. "Do you hear yourself? It's
funny how you're threatening me. And you wonder why I
left with her. Boy, you're too comical." I hung up
the phone, and turned around.
Arianna, with her head turned up at
me, with her eyes glaring, and her eyes watered. "I
heard her voice, Chris. Don't be a liar. Where is
she?" I didn't know what to say. I was speechless.
"Mommy is-" I was cut off by another call. I ran to
it before Arianna did. "What do you want? You're not
going to find us." I screamed into the phone. At first,
there was no answer. Then, "What are you talking
about?" Kyle's voice appeared. "Uh... ha ha
sorry pranksters keep calling..." I tried to cover up.
"Oh no worries. I got your work schedule, sorry it's
so late." he apologized. "Oh, it's no big
deal..." I said. "Okay well tomorrow you're
working from ten to four. Is that good?" he asked. I
only took a half-time job. Six hours a day. I get paid five
dollars per kid, and plus one dollar per hour from each kid.
Kyle said about ten kids come in per staff member. So
that'd be... 110 per day. I work three days a week, so
that'd be... 330 a week. I get a pay check every two
weeks... so times two... $660 about next week. Yes!
It'd be just enough for me and
Arianna. I was so proud to be taking in this responsibility.
I went back to bed after hanging up the phone, and put
Arianna back to sleep. I woke up at nine, got Arri ready for
school again, and I got ready for work. I had to drop her off
a little early so I'd be at work on time. "C'mon
Arianna!" I said to her as I was halfway out the door.
"Boom", I heard a loud noise. I then blacked out. I
woke up with a massive headache, and the room was familiar.
It was Arianna’s room. That reminded me, where was she?
I tried to lift myself up to look around, but my wrists were
tied to the bed. What was going on…? I looked down and
I saw my ankles were tied as well. I was so confused. All I
could do was think about where Arianna was, and what was
going to happen.
I quickly untied my wrists, and then
my ankles. I tip-toed to the door, and peeked out. There was
Arianna, sitting on the couch. But then, there was a broken
vase next to her. It was probably the one that hit my head.
But I looked closer. My head wasn’t bleeding… I
ran out and grabbed Arianna. “What happened?”
“Mommy. She tried to take me, but I stopped her.”
she said. She was here. “Where is she now?” I
asked in a panic. “In the bathroom. I think I hurt her,
Chris.” She looked at me with shame written all over
her face.
“Okay. Just, stay here.
Don’t move, okay?” I told her. I walked to the
bathroom, and I followed the bloody
trail.
