Jacklyn P.O.V.

Laura talked on the phone with someone for most of the time. She sat on the park bench, saying words that I never heard much. Words mother would say are, "Inappropriate" and I shouldn't use them.

"Oh you know it, sweetie. I'll give you exactly what you want tonight. After today I'll have some money to buy more wine..." She giggled, "As hard as you want it, baby~"

I shuddered. The way she spoke into the phone made me want to kick something.

I continued to sit on the swings, ice cream dripped from the cone and onto my hand. I licked it off, but more dripped onto the ground. Suddenly all the ice cream fell onto the dirt in front of me. I grumbled and threw the ice cream cone on the ground, huffing, "Fine. I didn't want the stupid ice cream anyway."

"Jacklyn? Did you throw the ice cream on the ground? That isn't nice," Laura stood in front of me, taking my hands and wiping them with a small cloth.

"Now you're all dirty. How will your mom feel when I tell her?"

"She won't care. You shouldn't be such a shit babysitter and stop talking to your phone," I crossed my arms, earning me a smach to the face, "Ow!!!"

"Watch your mouth young lady. Wait until your mom hears about this."

I turned away from her, hopping off the swing set and walked over to the slide. I grumbled, annoyance building up in me, "Stupid Laura. She can't tell me what to do."

I stood at the top of the slide and stared down at the empty park. Behind Laura's car was a van.. A weird black one.

A man stepped out of the driver's seat and walked over to one of the benches on the opposite side of the playground. He stared down at his phone and kept looking around like he was looking for someone or something.

I slid down the slide and walked over to him, sitting down next to him silently. I didn't recognize the man.

"Sir?"

The man looked down at me, his eyes making me slightly shiver.

"Hello?" I asked. He tilted his head curiously before asking, "How old are you?"

"Six! Turning seven next month!"

"Hm.. Are you a smart girl?"

I smiled, remembering mother always giving me ice cream every time she saw my grade card.

"I have a 4.0 grade point average. I've never had lower than an A!" I said excitedly. The man nodded and looked up, "Mm.. You are very smart.."

I nodded, happiness overflowing from me. I enjoyed it when people liked how smart I was.

That all went away when the man grabbed my wrist, "I'm taking you home."

"What? Why? Laura is taking me home.."

"No she's not. She left."

"Left? Without me? Why would she do that?" I found it quite odd that Laura would just leave me. She never did that, even thought she was the worst babysitter.

"She told me to take you home. Come on now, Jacklyn. Your mother is waiting."

I stared up at him, but did as he said, as we walked towards the van. He opened the door to the back and buckled me into the seat, before a thought came to me.

He was that man that dad was yelling at.. When.. My other dad was there too. He was the one who wrecked the living room... Mike?

Something felt off. This man had to be the guy who helped my other dad trash our home.. Why was mommy letting him take me home? Maybe she didn't know.. Well, he wouldn't do anything to me. He couldn't be that bad of a guy. What would he do?

I was so deep in thought, I didn't realize the van had stopped moving. The man once again appeared in front of me as he unbuckled my seat belt. I realized that we weren't at out home.

"Sir? Where are we?" I asked, but I wasn't given any answer. He grabbed my hand and pulled out a knife.

I freaked.

"Mom? Mommy?! Where's my mom?! What are you doing?!! Don't hurt me!!"

He covered my mouth, "Shut up or I will hurt you."

I was carried out of the van and into a building, which was dark and cold. I didn't like it.. I wanted to go home.. I wanted mommy or daddy.. I didn't like it there..

I couldn't move.. My hands and feet were tied to a pole.

The man left... I was alone..

I stared out into the dark room and sniffed, tears began to run down my face, "Mom? Dad? Where am I? Where are you? Please....."

Help me.....
