Lucy's POV

Life was just peachy.

Not.

But it couldn't have got any better honestly. That night when those weird people broke into our house, I thought that we were gonna be dead for good. But it turned out to be the exact opposite.

This place was just heaven. The plush couch, the food and heck they even had a Jacuzzi. If this was what being kidnapped meant then hell I would give myself in any day. But this wasn't home.

Home was where we were all together.

Without Thea, no place could ever be home.

"Lucy when are we gonna get to see Tee?" asked Macy, frowning. It was clear to me whoever was behind this didn't want any of the girls to be harmed. Hell, they even bought them toys. But the kids weren't really falling for it now though.

On the first day we were brought here they were quiet and scared. A few days passed they warmed up to everyone including these two men who came to visit us from time to time.

There was an old lady who cooked for us and three men who just stood walking around the penthouse. According to them, they were 'guarding' us but lord knows from what.No one was willing to give out any information out.

And as days passed by the girl's started asking questions. 'Why are we here?' 'When are we going home?' and the most common one: where was Thea?

"She's going to come soon love," I said with a smile. They all stop playing and looked at me with somewhat confused faces.

"But you say that yesterday"

"And the day before"

"Last week"

"Ever since we got here!"

"I want to see Tee!"

"I wanna see her too!"

"I wanna-"

And thus that's how another round of shouting and whining started.

...

In the afternoon the two guys came by again. This time I was not gonna let them go away without giving me any answers.

I've had enough.

The brown haired guy approached me with a smile. While the other one went to where the girls were.

"Hey Lucy, how you doing?"

"Okay, so is there anything you guys need or...?"

"Um...do the kids need diapers?"

"Lucy?"

"Hey, are you ignoring me?"

"Oh come on I thought we were friends," he whined.

"I've got gummy bears," he said dangling a packet in front of my face. Scowling, I harshly grabbed it from his hands.

"When are you guys gonna let us out of here?"

Immediately his face became guarded, all the playfulness vanished away.

"That's confidential information"

What a loyal dog

"How long are you planning to keep us here?"

"Until it is needed."

"Where is Thea?"

"Somewhere safe"
