I couldn't breathe with his sweaty palm covering my mouth and nose.  I wanted to cry but nothing came out, I think I may have been dehydrated. He opened the door and I could feel the cold air seep slowly into seven- eleven, sending chills down my spine. A bead of sweat dripped down my face, as I started to flail my arms and legs around, making me look stupid. How could no one notice me? I stopped flailing, it was only making me tired. Besides, the buff man wasn't budging. I think I fainted after that because everything after that was a blur.

Two hours earlier:

"Honey you need to come to the store with me! You have been on your phone all day and you need to get up and walk around!"

"Aw cmon mom! I don't wanna go!"

"I'm sorry honey, but can you please just come? You know I don't like leaving you here at the house alone! Between you and me I don't think Dad chose the greatest neighborhood ever..."

"Fine... Where are we going?"

"Wherever we can find the cheapest deal on gas! This town is so expensive!"

       We pulled into the parking lot of Seven-Eleven and already I could feel
that something was off. My mom and I got out of the car and I could already feel the 34 degree wind lash against the bare skin on my face. I saw a pretty buff man walking towards me and my mom with a barely noticeable, slight smirk on his face. This was getting weird. I started to inch closer to my mom.

    I got a good glimpse of the man out of my right eye, he was a buff pretty tall dude, with a tattoo I his left arm. He was bald with a U shaped trim of hair that ran all behind his head and turning into a poorly shaped goatee. He had a scar on the side of his cheek, which made him look kind of ugly.

     I didn't say anything to my mom about this misterious man because she was already a little bit mad at me. I was so focused on the man I could barely tell that she started talking.

"Honey can you go to the drink section and get me a pack of water bottles to pack in your lunch please?"

" uhh mom do I have to?" I questioned getting a little bit nervous

"Annmarie! Why are you acting like this! You have been acting so weird lately! Usually you'd do it without me asking! Please go do what I said! NOW!" She yelled causing a big scene. My face turned bright red and I was about to tell my mom to chill when the weird man inturuppted me saying "You got a perty one there, ehh miss?"

"Why thank you! Yes she is very pretty! She takes after her daddy!"

The odd man chuckled, muttered something to himself, and walked off.

"Now go do what I told you to Annie!" My mom said

"Yes ma'am..." I muttered and walked off to find the drink section.

Hmmm... Where is the drink section?  I glanced behind me and my heart stopped. The man was there. Okay, just find the drink isle get the water and go back to mom. Get the water and go back to mom. I looked behind me one last time and he wasn't there. PHEW! My heart finally started beating again.


That's when he grabbed me.
