He smiles and says "Vonika, that's such a beautiful name. My son's name is Johny, he is 17. I think you would like him. Would you want to meet him sometime?"
I'm only 15 I don't know what boys are all about. The only boy I have seen for a year is this man in front of me. After I don't say anything he gets upset,
"YOU DON'T ANSWER ME....... me the one who has been taking care of you for a year, exactly a year today!! Do you not realize what sacrifices I have given up for you!! I never had a daughter I wanted a all wrapped in pink, blue eyed baby girl ever sense I got married. But when my son was born, it took the life of the only woman I ever cared about.
"We never got to the hospital. She had him in our small house. For the first and last time I layed her son in her arms. The last words she said before she died was, "Johnny, take care of our Johnny." Then she closed her eyes for the last time." His eyes are all red and watery, I think he is crying.
I scoot closer to him, trying to comfort him. "don't cry. I would love to meet your son sometime. Please don't be upset." I don't want to meet anyone. The only companion I have is this crazy man. I don't want meet his son! He is probably just as crazy as his father if not crazier!!
He looks down at me with a hope full look. "You really mean it? You really want to meet him," he looks at me like a blind man just seeing the sun for the first time. "I will bring him tomorrow if that's what you really want."
"o-o-OK," I stutter, my hands were trembling. What did I just do?I ask myself as his smile grows."Tomorrow then." I try to sound confident but inside I am terrified. He stands up and stretches like he has been sitting there for hours.
"Alright I will bring him tomorrow to meet you." He clapped his hands and walked away. I stand up and walk like a zombie over to my bench. I lay down and curl up with my little blanket. What's going to happen tomorrow? I am thinking bout all these situations that could happen. He could be creepier than his father and hurt me, He could he ugly and want to kill me for his own satisfaction. So many situations are going through my head right now and none of them have a happy ending for me. I am so tired and scared that I cry myself to sleep and dream of people hurting me with satisfied smiles on their ugly faces.

I'm in a meadow, sitting on a blanket with food and flowers all around. I am wearing a beautiful blue and yellow sundress with cowgirl boots on and a very pretty, very surprising ring on my left hand. "Vonika, where are you my love?" I hear a voice say in the distance. My heart starts to race and a smile grows on my face. "I'm over here!" I say to him. I don't know how, but I know he is the one I have been waiting for to find me. The grass and flowers are almost to tall to see over while sitting down. I can't see him approaching but i hear him running through the meadow to find me.
When he comes into view he smiles that smile that melts my heart. I giggle as he kisses me on the cheek. "I'm glad I don't have to wait forever to see you. Everytime I close my eyes you are there, every time I open them there you are looking at me like the first time i saw you."
We eat and then he looks at me with this look that I can't descibe. He stands up and offers me his aid to stand up. I accept, I will do anything for this man. He pulls me close "did you have a nice last meal?" He asks. My heart skips a beat.
"W-w- what did you say?" I ask him in a small voice. I look into his eyes to see if there is any humor or emotion in those dark eyes, there is none.
"I asked if you had a good last meal." He says without any emotion, he sounds like a robot. Then a sharp pain in my side makes me scream. I look down, there is a silver dagger right where the pain is burning through out me!
"I-I-I thought you loved me" I gasp, using him to hold up all my weight. I can't see anything but his face, can't feel anything but pain. Not only physical but mental. My heart was betrayed. How could he do any thing to hurt me like this?
"I do, that's why I am doing this. If anyone is ever going to hurt you it will be me. I am prooving my love to you. No one will ever hurt you again. Goodbye untill our next life my love." I see a single tear coming from his eye, just as fast as I seen it. It was gone I must have imagined it. There is no heart, no soul in this monster. He is not capable of love or sorrow.

Someone is shaking me "Vonika! Vonika wake up!!" I jump out of my dream with a loud bloody murder scream. My eyes flash open and I see a boy with green eyes, black hair, and a worried look on his face.
I jump up not knowing this stranger. "Who are you!" I yell "How did you get in here?" My back hit the bars of the cage and I am trapped by this stranger.
He looks at me with a curious look. "I am Johnny. My dad told me bout you and said that you wanted to see me." He doesn't come any closer. He looks just like his father. But he sounds unsure of himself. That is not like his father at all.
"So, what do you want?" I ask him, staring down at my blanket not looking up at him.
