Alphas Toy

Part 19

Isabella POV

Daniel suggested that it would be a good idea if we created a little movie theatre night in for the kids. I assumed it was part of their sick ploy to convince the kids that this this was a "holiday".

But it was more probably Christopher's plan since the others did seem sincere in their desire of making the kids stay here memorable. Christopher on the other hand, seemed to be watching me like a hawk. Watching out for any sudden or unwanted action. I swear he doesn't even try to conceal his gaze from me. His gift for multi-tasking almost seems inhumane like.

I swear if I wanted to escape, I could have and would have escaped by now. We went out plenty of times and each time I stayed by their side. Of course I had the urge to leave but I knew it would be pointless because they would always find me. The others may seem reluctant but Christopher would do his best to make my life a living hell.

"Hellllooooooo!" Adam suddenly shouted, as loud as his 4 year old voice would permit him to do. He jumped up and down on the bed, making Aria Bob up and down and giggle in excitement.

"We're talking to you" he shouted again, crossing his eyebrows in frustration. The sight of his anger was almost adorable, since he seemed to be taking himself seriously.

"Yes kiddo" I said in all seriousness, stranding up straight towards him in mock salute. Playing along with his serious facade, I made eye contact with him.

"I asked what movie are we going to watch" he screeched as he jumped one last time down on the bed.

"I don't know. Any movie of your choice?"

"Frozen" Aria suddenly perched up in excitement.

We all looked at each other with s knowing glance and then began to belt out "Let it go" with Aria struggling to keep up with the lyrics, thus resorting to her baby language dialect.

I would like to think that we dance in harmony but we were all quite clearly out of tune, with Adam making up some of his own lyrics and slowly trailing behind me.

I suddenly realised that we had an audience.

I turned away in embarrassment whilst Aria screamed "again and again".

"Yeah, Bells. Sing it again for little Aria" Matt teased whilst he ran to scoop up Aria in his arms, making her squeal in delight.

I huffed at him in annoyance.

"Oh come on. Can't destroy a little girls animal spirit" Daniel mock pouted as he drew himself closer to the kids.

"Again and again" Aria perched again.

"You heard her" Jacob smirked and with that, they all began to sing again.

I groaned in mock disgust, walking out the room to grab some food. I noticed Christopher wasn't there with the rest of them. He wasn't always by their side. I gathered he liked his personal space and I respect that since I was after all, an introvert. I trusted the gang with the kids because they seemed alright. I could see that they had no real stake in kidnapping me, they were just helping Christopher and whatever twisted game was playing in his head. Scratch that, they are partly to blame. There's four of them and one Christopher. They do have the power to help me escape, they just decided against it. So they're not that innocent.

I shook my head at myself, realising that I got into an arguement with myself. It's not that abnormal, lots of people argue with theirselves.

I hadn't realised I bumped into Christopher in the midst of my thoughts. I seem to be doing that a lot lately.
