Chapter 2

A few weeks after the births, Hunter and Ally were fast asleep together when one of the babies began crying. "It's your turn..." Ally said sleepily. Hunter groaned as he shushed little baby Gracie. Suddenly, he heard glass breaking, followed by at struggle coming from their bedroom. He came running to see Ally fighting with a home intruder. "Get the babies out of here...! Call the cops!" Ally blurted out. Hunter called the police and left the house with the triplets.

"What do you mean, she's missing?!" Asked Hunter. "We mean we went to the bedroom, no one was there. Just a broken window and a messed up bedroom. We suspect that your girlfriend was kidnapped by the intruder." said an officer. Hunter's face fell. He thought this neighborhood was safe. He called Tess, who booked the earliest flight to Canada from New York. When she arrived, she was just as shocked as Hunter was. They both sat in Tess's hotel room, trying to make sense of it all.

Ally woke up, her head still pounding from when the masked intruder hit her over the head with a flower vase. She looked in front of her, her eyes widened with shock. There were pictures of her, Tess, and Hunter. Except Hunter and Tess's faces were scribbled out, and Ally's face had a huge heart drawn around it. Ally tried to run, but she was tied to a chair. She couldn't scream for help, as a piece of cloth covered her face.
