Suddenly I hear a chuckle above me. No, multiple chuckles above me. My eyes pop open and all I can do is stare at the wall of guys. I glance over all five of them. Then my eyes zoom in on the man that has his arms around my waist. " I-I'm s-sor-ry"...

When I saw my family tied up in the living room I really started to freak out. My mind kept going to the same questions. Am I gonna die? What will they do with me? Do I have to watch my as family is killed? I started to hyperventilate until I felt the gentle touch of the man rubbing my back as we set on the couch. I really start to relax when he starts murmuring encouraging words in my ear. Once I had calmed down enough to think straighter I start in on the questions that are racking my brain.
"Why are they tied up?" I stutter this out and feel him tense and tighten his grip on my waist. I watch my family and see their expression change which causes me to turn to look at the man that is holding me like a long lost lover, just as he turns to look at me.
"Darling I want to ask you a few questions. But if you wont answer the questions I am going to ask them. They are tied up to make sure they don't run away." I scan his face to see if I can detect any lies, but unfortunatly he is hard to read. But there is something in me that tells me I can trust him. I go with my instincts and believe what he has told me. I start figiting with my fingers in my lap, which is something i tend to do if I am nervous. After a few seconds of messing with my fingers and think i whisper my next question.
"Will you hurt them?" At this I feel him move a little then hear him let out a great big sigh. This makes me scared to hear the answer.
"Honey, I don't want to lie to you. So I'll tell you this. If they answer truthfully and it is the answer I am hoping for, then I wont hurt them. But if they lie or it is a bad answer I might have to." His confession makes me tense up. But not because im affraid for my family, no, I actually think they may deserve a little pain. I tense because of that thought. I have never wanted pain to befall another person, but now I do and this scares me. But what he says in my ear next actually calms me down.
"But I promise not to let you see anything I deem bad." I whisper out my agreement and sit there waiting. I glance up at him when I feel a light tap upon my knee. I nod when he asks me if I am ready for the first question he has. Then he asks what I had done today and I start telling him how I cleaned the house then the store where I had run into them and how I started cooking when I got back home. Of course I leave out the parts where father hurt me. When I finish he starts to ask another question only to be interrupted by my sister stupidly opening her mouth.
"Ugh! Why are listening to her super boring day, when you and me could be cuddling and talking about my day handsome." I see her wink from the corner of my eye and it hurts my heart for some reason, until the man scoffs and one of the other men makes a funny gagging noise. I giggle at this only to have everyone look at me and Selena glare at me, so I stop laughing. I hear Selena ask what in her 'I'm innocent' voice. I discreetly roll my eyes while still looking at my lap. I hear my sister whimper and start to look up, only to have him turn my head into his chest. I can't see what is happening but I can still hear what they all say. And what I hear makes my blood run cold.
