Amity's POV
"Stop! We need to take her back to the police she doesn't belong here!" A strong and stern male voice boomed through the small house I was in.
"She does belong here! I love her!" A female voice cried, her voice cracking at the end. "No, we can't- I'm sorry." The male voice said and he stomped all the way up to the second floor of the house, where I was.
The small bedroom I was in was very small with a cupboard and a bed was the only furniture in it. The dull coloured wallpaper with patterns you could find in a creepy horror movie. A musky smell that filled the room wasn't so delightful and to add to the unpleasant smell was scented candles that smelt like rotten eggs to me. And this setting was all too familiar.
It was my old house. Yes, the one with my so-called 'mum' named Alice. That devil woman that kidnapped me.
Sniffles and footsteps were present on the other side of the door in this small bedroom I was in. "No please! We've wanted a child for many years and you can't just throw our opportunity away to have a kid just like that." The woman said through the door, her voice softening.
"But this is not our child. She's gonna grow up not knowing who her parents are." The male said quietly as if he didn't want anyone else to hear him except the woman.
"We are her parents-" She got cut off by him, "I meant real parents. Birth parents."
They were silent for a while until I heard muffles of voices and whispers I couldn't catch.
Everything fell dead silent and I got scared as the night was dark and the moon seemed like a scary glowing monster from my point of view.
I jumped off of my squeaky bed and I opened the door and no one was there making me squeak in horror.
So I sprinted to my parents' room, my bunny slippers making small sounds as I took a step. I knocked frantically at their door to ask them to let me in.
But no one answered.
A hand crept up my shoulder and I screamed in terror, only to receive a 'hush!' from the mystery person.
I looked up and saw that it was my mum, her brown hair reaching down to her stomach and her eyes glistening while her thin lips formed a somewhat comforting smile. "It's just me honey." She said.
Then a male figure took her place with his hand on my shoulder and bent down to my tiny height. He whispered to me, "Run away from Alice, just like me," He stopped and took a quick scan around, "Just run Amity. Run."
Everything seemed blurry for a few seconds and I was now in a different situation.
I was crouched down behind a counter in my pyjamas and my tiny bunny slippers were no longer there as I was barefoot and my hair was up in a messy bun.
"She's so young." Alice's voice said in a sort of whisper-tone. "Alice, she's 17, and your deadline is coming." Another woman's voice appeared.
"Susan I don't want this." Alice says with a worried tone. "I know Alice, but I've done all I can to help you get out of this." I heard one of them sigh afterwards, "Okay, thank you, Susan."
No way, this scene cannot be what I think it is. It's when everything was starting to fall apart and-
"What are you doing here?" Alice asked as she saw me crouched behind the counter. However, I was unable to move.
This was different.
I tried opening my mouth to say something but it never happened.
She crouched down, mimicking me. A grin spread across her face but no emotions were showed in her eyes, making her look as creepy as ever.
"No one loves you Amity. You're a pathetic girl who's life resembles a cheesy Disney reject-ideas. You can never get in a university because you were raised by a kidnapper. See? How pathetic," she paused, "but I guess people can pretend they care can't they?"
She laughed hysterically, throwing her head back. "People pretend Amity. They pretend." She says then she points to a figure standing beside her.
It was Phil.
"Including him." She whispered.

I awoke in cold sweat, breathing heavily as I took in my surrounding. Then I realized I was just in my living room on the couch with the TV turned on.
I must've fell asleep.
Glancing to my right, I saw my phone and I checked the time. It was 8:26 PM which means I probably fell asleep watching a movie.
And I was right as what was on the TV was a Friends episode. Ahh, Chandler Bing's sarcastic and witty personality was one of my favorite things as Alice always had season one of Friends on DVD.
Speaking of the devil, I remembered the dream (more like nightmare) that I just experienced. If I said I didn't think too much about it I would be lying as I wanted to bang myself against the wall in pain and misery but I've gotta put a smile on my face.
I sighed, the thought of the dream scared me and although I already have forgotten most of it, I couldn't forget the line that kept repeating in my head.
"People can pretend Amity. They pretend."
Now I began to question everyone's so-called 'love' to me because of this and I couldn't believe it. I can't believe that I can believe what a person in my dream said.
"Amity? Oh! There you are! You're still watching Friends I see." Dad said as he walked down the stairs, smiling softly at me.
I didn't smile back, the thought of a smile etched upon my face scared me now as the image of Alice grinning from ear to ear came back into my head.
Seeing my unamused and awfully plain face he continued to talk which I was thankful for because I wasn't in the mood for speaking.
"My friend has a daughter that is going in the university you're trying to get in and I scheduled a meet-up for you and he so maybe she can give you tips on how to get accepted or how to study and such."
I replied with a simple nod and then he went on, "Her name is Fay and she's about your age. I'll show you a picture of her later so you can identify her."
"Thanks dad." I thanked him quietly and he smile got bigger making me smile as well.
Damn my family and their contagious smile.
