"Amara, come on babygirl, or we'll miss the ice cream truck!" Mommy yelled as I was putting on my flats. We were going to get ice cream and then take a walk to the park so we could play. Mommy said that we're supposed to meet daddy at the park after work and then he could play with us too! Daddy was always at work, but he loves me bunches and plays with me and all my toys. Mommy used to play with us a lot too, but she can't keep up with us or run as fast because she's having a baby and he doctor told her that she has to take it easy so the baby is extra safe. I'm excited to have a baby. I love those little things a lot plus they're so cute and sweet, but mommy says that the baby will sleep a lot after its born so I can't play with it until it gets older. I thought that sucked a lot, but mommy says that I get to hold the baby and cuddle with it! She also said that I can even feed it!! Like how cool is that!

I get up and check myself in the mirror to make sure I look nice before going out. I chose a pink and purple dress with starry grey tights and my favorite ballerina flats. I grab my favorite dolly, kiss my doggie Rocko goodbye, and run downstairs.

When I make it down my mommy says, "Geez, I thought you were gonna take alll day," and laughs. My mommy's laugh is beautiful, just like her. She has super soft brown hair and hazel eyes. She also has really pretty and straight teeth, which makes her smile the best one in the world. I love to make my mommy smile. It's  the best part of my day. She also has a really big belly, so she gets out of breath very easy now, but she doesn't complain. I love her. She's my favorite person in the whole wide world!

"I didn't take that long mommy," I say to her with a smile. "You took forever babe. I almost fell asleep waiting for you!" That made me giggle. Mommy did fall asleep a lot more now, and its very funny to catch her sleeping in weird places. I once caught her asleep in the bathtub!

We finally make it to the ice cream truck after a whole FIFTEEN minute walk! Who knew walking was so much work. Mommy ordered a butter crunch cone, and I got a mint chocolate chip scoop in a cup. After we finish our treats, me and mommy play tag for a bit, but she has to go rest on the bench because her belly made her more tired. Growing a baby must be hard. Who knew?

I got bored with playing alone, so I walked in a circle next to the side walk. After a while, this man and his friend walk past me and a dollar falls out of his pocket. I pick it up and rush to give it back. "MISTER! SIR! YOU DROPPED YOUR DOLLAR ON THE GROUND!" I was out of breath by the time I caught up with the two. They were really tall, and walked super fast compared to me. My legs were way shorter than these giants, but I managed to catch up.

They both turn to look at me, and I stretch the hand with the dollar out while heaving. The guy who dropped the dollar slowly smiles at me. "Oh, that little thing? You can keep it sweetheart." He smiled at me, but not the nice smile that my mommy or dad have, but a scary one.

"N-no thanks, sir. It doesn't belong to me." This guy is creeping me out, I thought.

"Oh, but it would be a shame if I were to lose it again," The strange man said. "Tell you what, if you come with my buddy and I to that truck over there, then you can keep that dollar all to yourself." By this time the other guy started staring at me with a very weird and amused expression. I was scared, shaking even, but I won't leave with them. I have to find my mom.

"Um, no thanks, s-sir. I have to go now." I turn to walk away.

"Wait! We'll take to back to your parents. Where are they?" He's really scaring me now. I have to run.

I take off down the side walk, running as fast as my legs will carry me. I hear the two men say a few curse words, but I don't care. I have to make it to my mom.

I hear footsteps behind me, so I run faster. I start to scream, "HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" No one is around. It's just me and the bad guys. I start to see the play area, and my mom. I scream for her.

"MOM! MOMMY HELP ME PLEASE!" I'm crying, and my words are all jumbled, so maybe she can't hear me. I have to scream louder. "M-MOMMY PLEASE COME SAVE ME!" That catches her attention. I scream once again. She jumps out of her seat and starts to run to me when I stumble to the ground. I try to get back up, but my legs feel like jello. I start to crawl towards my mom, who is still kinda far from me. I finally accept that I could no longer move as I was too sluggish to do so. The two men walk up to me and one says, "Took her long enough. I thought that shit would never kick in." I could hear the muffled yells and cries of my mom, begging them to let me go, but the men curse at her and pick me up, ignoring her pleas.

My eyes are going blurry, but I can kind of see the man holding me, but not clearly. "Sleep tight darling. You'll need the rest for where you're going." The man says.

I try to make one more plea. "m-mama s-save m-me."

And then, it goes black.

HIIII GUYSIES!!!

I hope you all loved this chapter! I did put lots of thought in how I wanted this all the play out, and I believe that it did beautifully and I hope you all did too!

This is just a memory so you all have proper context of how some things went in Amara's past. Amara was just six years old when this happened so of course she's not gonna have the same common sense or thought process as an older person would, but I believe that I created a great chapter and portrayed six year old Amara in a great fashion.

I'd LOVE to hear some feedback from you all on what you think of the first chapter and remember, COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT! I love to be inspired and get my creativity flowing!

See you next chapter!
