I Guess Its Fate

Chapter 17: Living Life, Hard.

Tricia had been missing for a week. My kids were now 3 weeks old. Things got worse and worse.

Who would abduct a teenage girl? Why would they? But all we could think of was, is she dead?

How many people have been stolen, than found alive again? Not many. Everything in my town was chaotic. People were putting up search posters, and not letting their kids outside, especially teenagers.

Janey had Bentley, and Riya had Avon. We all agreed i couldnt handle another baby, so they let me off the hook.

But for the time being, the babies were important, but definatly not the biggest concern.

After witnessing the abduction, things were odd.

~1 week ago~

After we all settled on walking calmly home, we literally sprinted to the house.

So much for that idea.

When we got back, Maya was screaming at the 9 babies, who all of them, except Paige, were crying.

"JESUS! Help me! These kids are monsters!" She sobbed, picking up her Jacob, and walking into the kitchen.

I picked up Dani and Seth and rocked them back and forth, after a quick minute, Dani stopped crying and i placed her into  i her carrier. Seth calmed down, but clunged to me so tightly i couldnt put him down.

30 minutes later, all the babies were fast asleep, including Bentley and Avon, who screamed and kicked the most. I guess they sensed something was wrong.

We all flopped down onto the couch, sighing from exhaustion. When suddenly, we all jumped up at the same time and yelled "TRICIA!"

"I'll call the police!" Natalie screamed, and dialed the number quickly on her iPhone.

"HELLO?PLZ COME TO 99 ROCKINGHAM PARK BOULEVARD RIGHT AWAY! OUR FRIEND HAS BEEN ABDUCTAED!" And after that she hung up and  picked up Joseph and snuggled him close.

Withing 5 minutes, Police sirens were heard racing down through the neighborhood.Soon a banging arupted from the door, and we all screamed. Having a scary sense of deja vu.

"Come in!" Maya screamed, her voice shaky.

"What happened here?" A manly voice shouted from the front hall. "Where are you?"

"In here!" We all shouted, mentally slapping ourselves thinking saying that would help.

"Uhm,that helps," A higher, feminine voice appeared in the air.

Janey let out a nervous laugh.

I held Seth closer as the footsteps approached and a women and man appeared at the doorway.

"I repeat, what happened?" The man said. He was very tall, very buff, and kind of handsome. The woman was small, but muscular, and pretty.

"We were sitting here with our babies," I said lightly

"When there was a knock on the door," Janey choked.

"And our friend Tricia went to go get it." Maya said

"Than we heard a scream," Natalie sobbed

"And she was gone" Riya whispered.

We all began shaking harder.

"Ohkay, so your saying she was abducted? How old is she?" The woman said, eyeing all of the sleeping babies on the floor.

"16" we all said in a sad unison.

"Wow, she had 9 kids?" The man asked.

"NO!"Riya shouted, protectively holdig Paige.

"These two are hers." Natalie picked up Bentley and Avon, showing them off.

"Awwwhhhh!" The man said. His partner slapped him."Sorry," he muttered.

"Yes, cute children, but were going to go out looking for a speeding car, or anything suspicious. Can u give us the name of this girl, and a description?" the woman asked, somewhat calm.

"Tricia Sparks," Natalie said softly.

"Blue eyes, very blonde hair, about 5 feet 7...skinny, a little bit of a post partum belly..." Maya sighed.

"Ohkay girls, were going out to find her. We will notify you by the end of the day if we have no found her." And with that they both ran off.

~Present~

That night they did call, with no sighting of a 5 foot 7 blonde headed girl. We were all so worried, something could have happened to Tricia, or already did.

I held Seth in my arms, listening to my sister, Sayah, tell a story over the dinner table. We were at our favorite restaraunt, The Bean Barn, and i had Seth, while Zane had the girls and went out on a daddy daughters night. He loved his girls a ton, you could tell.

"So then, when the girls were 2, and i was only 5 months pregnant with my boys, we went to London, oh i loved London. So did Demi and Zayla." She rocked Jayden as she said this. The girls were with my mom and the boys were with my dad.

"Ohh i've always wanted to go to London!" Celia chirped.

"Ohhh what about Paris?" Candace asked.

Suddenly my phone rang, it was Natalie.

"Can i take this, its Natalie." My sisters nodded me off.

I walked outside and flipped my  phone up, eagerly.

"Hello?" I said, extrememly scared.

"Mia!: her voice was shaky and you could hear her sobbing breaths."They found her,"

"They did? Really! No way! I need to call her!" I exclaimed, about to hang up.

"No, you cant."  Natalie whispered.

"Why not?" I questuoned, loosing my patience.

"They found her body, she was murdered." Thats when we both broke down sobbing.

"Really? No, thats not true!" I sobbed harder, letting it all flow, in public.

"Its true, and were keeping the same schedule as before, and can you help us set up the funeral? Tricia really like you and your kids."  Natalie asked.

"Sure Nat," and i hung up, unable to speak any longer.

I waited outside for 10 minutes, than walked back into the restaraunt, picking up Seth from Candace's arms.

I sat down silently, picked up my fork and took a bite of my salad.

"Well?" Sayah, whispered, looking worried.

"Did they find her?" Candace and Celia asked, curiously.

I nodded.

"Really? Thats great!" Sayah exclaimed, swallowing a mouthful of pasta.

I shook my head, a tear escaping my eye.

"No, no no. They found her, dead, didnt they?" Celia whispered.

I nodded again.

We all broke down sobbing, in public, together in each others arms.
