Chapter 1 - Be

Okay hear me out....you might hate me, or call me cringe but HEAR MY OUT....

for the plot :)

TW: beating, kidnapping, manipulation, branding

"Well, Gavin Newland, I'm sure you have the wrong perso-" you stopped speaking when you were greeted with two people, a teenage girl who you remember went missing three months ago..

And Jack.

The boy looked up at you and looked like he felt a little safe that you were around. You wanted to hug him but you feared you'd all be killed. "These are our children, Gwen." Gavin told you and you looked at him like he was insane, he kidnapped you three to form a family?! You forced you gaze away and just smiled at the two and hugged the girl, whispering in her ear.

"Play along, it'll be okay." You pulled back and smiled again before hugging Jack and telling him the same thing and he whimpered into your neck and latched onto you. You pulled back and looked back at Gavin.

"Aria, Jack, this is your mother." They both muttered a hi mom and you all knew this may not end well, but you sure as hell weren't going to let anyone put you in a coma again.

You stared at the ceiling in the bedroom you had been sleeping in for two months now. You had no clue how close Aaron was to finding you, but you were fighting to stay alive with everyone. Gavin turned over in the bed and looked at you questionably, "can't sleep?" You shook your head and he sat up. The whole situation was awkward, having to fake a relationship to survive, call Jack your son and Aria your daughter. 

The man who dragged you inside the first day was Gavin's father, who had forced his son to do all of this and you all had to obey or you'd all be most likely bombed. You remember the conversation Gavin finally had with you when his father left the house and knew the cameras were off as you slowly gained his trust.

"Y/N we need to talk."

"Uhm- excuse me?" You looked at Gavin shocked when he called you by your real name, he didn't say anything as he dragged you into your guys' room. He locked the door and you looked at him almost scared as if he'd try anything. His whole demeanor changed and he didn't have his full try and sound bigger voice, he seemed like a normal guy.

"Relax. Listen, my dad is psychotic. I lost my wife a few years back, Gwen, and he's been pissed that I haven't had a family to carry on the generation and the other members were fed up. So he started with Aria, then we my dad's side-chick named Kelly and he took Jack. He wants me to form a family out of all this so he can have more power to his name. I don't wanna do this, and I'm trying to find ways to fix it all. He has cameras everywhere, but they are turned off for the day I guess to try and test us. I'll try to keep it to myself but when the cameras are on and there's eyes on us, I have to. Do you understand?"

"Y-yes, yeah. So...you're not here to kill me..?" You asked and the man chuckled.

"No, dear. I'm here to keep us alive until I can find a way out. Just trust me." He held your hands and you nodded. Fortunately you were a profiler so you could tell if he was faking all of that.

Jack had no problem calling you Mom since he was with you all the time. Aria worked up to it, she was a 14-year-old orphan and she was at the store one day when she was kidnapped. She had silky gold hair that draped over her hips but she always wore in a pony and let Jack braid a few times so he had something calming to do. She was quite a beautiful lady, she was funny and kind too, it was just a shame she was stuck without a family and now she is forced into a creeps house.
