Hush little baby

Chapter 15

  I waited until he was gone to get out from under the covers.

  I felt dazed, not knowing what to think or do. How should I respond to finding out that he kills people.

  Sure, he said they were bad people but it still makes me think. It still makes me wonder. What if he's killing 'bad' people right now.

  I got up and opened the bedroom door with a creak. A man, I'm guessing Callums friend that's supposed to be watching me.

He looked at me when he heard the door creak and stood up, smiling.

"Hey you must be Theo." I didn't say anything and just started at him. His smile wavered for a second but he quickly regained it.

"A little shy? It's ok." He came closer to me, sticking his hand out.

  "The names James." I looked at his hand then at him.

  I need to figure out a way to get away from him, and go to daddy. He can't just leave me here, especially after he told me his job.

  "You like brownies?" I looked up at him and he smiled, putting his hand back down next to his side.

  "Yeah why, you wanna make some?" I nodded my head, and idea popping up.

  "Let me just go to the bathroom first." He went to pick me up but I stepped back.

  "I'm not really feeling that little right now..." He scratched the back of his head.

  "Sorry... um, I'll go prepare for the brownies." I nodded my head and walked to the bathroom, opening the medicine cabinet.

  I got out some sleeping medicine, stuffing it into my pocket.

  I flushed the toilet and turned on the faucet, pretending to wash my hands before walking into the kitchen.

  "Ready?" I nodded my head.

  "Hey James?" He looked at me.

  "Yeah?"

  "I have a bit of a headache, can you go in the bathroom and get me some medicine? It's in the blue bottle on the top right." He walked to the bathroom, and I quickly got a knife.

  I broke up the pills the best I could and put them in the brownie mix, mixing it in and putting the knife back away.

  "Hey I couldn't find anything." James returned and I shrugged.

  "It's ok, the headaches not that bad." He said ok and put the brownie mix in a pan, putting it in the pre heated oven.

  0/0/0

  James got up from the couch, and I followed him. He took the brownies out of the oven and cut a couple of pieces.

  "Oh, my stomach hurts a little I don't want any right now."

  "Oh then I'll have one when you do." I shook my head.

  "N-No you can eat one for me please? I wanna know if it tastes good." He gave me a confused look but bit into the brownie anyways.

  "How is it?" He nodded his head.

  "It's good, you sure you don't want one?" I shook my head.

  "No, but you can have as many as you want though." He shoved the remaining bit of the brownie in his mouth, getting another slice.

  "It's really good." I smiled and walked over to the couch, and he followed.

  Now all I have to do is wait for the pills to take action.
