The Believer

2. Fear

It was a few months later - August - and I awoke one morning to a silent household. I silently took the covers off of me and tip toed out of my bedroom. I went across the hall into Sophie's room. But she wasn't in her bed. "Sophie? Where are you?" I whispered.

No response.

I went out of her room and silently crept to my parents room. "Daddy? Are you in here? I'm scared." I whispered as a tear fell down my cheek.

No response.

"MOMMY!" I was bawling by now and screaming.

I ran and jumped on their bed hoping they would be asleep. But they weren't. So I got up and ran down the stairs crying my eyes out. I looked in the kitchen to see if they were eating breakfast.

They weren't. No one was there. It was as if no one had touched a thing this morning. So I decided to look in every room of the house. First the family room.

No one.

The dining room.

No one.

The living room.

No one.

And finally the toy room.

There sat Sophie quietly playing with her dolls.

"Sophie..?" I asked.

"SISSY!" She got up and ran to me giving me this big hug.

"Where's mommy and daddy, Soph?"

"Gone."

"Where and when will they be back?"

"Don't know but soon."

"Oh okay. Let's just go watch some tv alright Soph?" She nodded and ran to turn the tv on.

I carefully sat on the couch as she turned in on then she climbed into my lap. SpongeBob turned on as I help her close to me. She was singing the theme song which made me laugh. And I started singing it along with her. I couldn't help it. But there we were watching Spongebob like we usually did every morning as a family. But today, it was just us.

So after we sat there for half an hour I decided it was time to go get dressed.

"Come on Soph. Let's go get dressed." I tried picking her up but she wouldn't budge."

"Sophie. Come on. We need to get our daily fresh air." She still wouldn't budge.

"Sophie you better come now or-" There was pounding on the front door. We froze where we were as the door slammed wide open.

"Hello there darlings." This woman grinned at us as two men stood behind her.

I didn't dare say one word. I just stared in shock.

"Oh! Kacie. I'm your new mother. Now come with me." She yanked my arm.

"Wait! Who are you? And what about Sophie?!"

"I said I am your new mother Kacie. And Sophie has new parents too. Just not the same family as you anymore dear." She smiled and dragged me upstairs.

I heard Sophie bawling downstairs. And screams.

Horrific screams.

"Let me go! Sophie doesn't deserve to be tortured at two years old!" I struggled to get her hand off my wrist.

"Torture? Honey, this is your new lives. You both need to accept it." She gripped my wrist tighter.

"SOPHIE!" I screamed.

"Shut it." She put her other hand over my mouth as tears streamed down my cheeks.

"You're my daughter now, got it?" I nodded and kept crying. She was about 40 years old, 10 years older than my real parents.

"She dragged me into my room and lay me on the floor. She started stripping my clothes off until I was fully naked.

"Hmm. Now, what should your outfit be for today..?" I didn't pay attention because I heard Sophie screaming across the hall, one of the men doing the same thing to her. But the other man walked into my room. He started massaging the woman's shoulders. She turned her head and they kissed each other's lips.

Oh my. They're married?! Ugh. My life is a nightmare now.

I took my hands and tried covering up my parts because I didn't want the man seeing my body. But of course the woman took my hands away.

"Babe. Pin her hands to the ground." He did what she said as I was looking up at him.

I kicked as hard as I could at his his balls.

"OUCH! GOD DAMN IT KACIE! DONT YOU FUCKING DARE KICK ME THERE YOU HEAR ME?" He screamed at me. Then he sat on my legs.

The woman came back and threw him this puny dress that I knew wouldn't fit me.

"Put that on her dear." She smiled at him.

They are such perverts.

He put the dress over me and stood me up. The dress barely passed my butt.

"Now. If you are ever a bad child, Kacie. I will pull that dress right up, and spank your bare ass." He kissed my cheek.

Ew! They didn't even give me any underwear to wear.

"What about undies..?" I ask quietly.

"Damn it. I JUST told you if you were a bad child I would spank your bare ass!" And he pulled my dress up, and spanked me as hard as he could. I couldn't have been more scared in my entire life.

He picked me up and ran out of the house and buckled me into his car. Then came the lady with all these tiny dresses that didn't even fit me.

As my "parents" drove off, I saw Sophie and the other man get in another car and drive off the other way.

I was on my own now.

No idea where my sister was going, or where my parents were. I hope they will all be okay.

The man and woman were laughing with each other in the front seats as I stayed in the back seat and quietly cried myself to sleep.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED? The perfect life of Kacie just turned into he worst nightmare! What will happen next?! Give me ideas! Thank you for everyone who is reading this! Love you all ❤️😋
