Second Life by Justin

The kidnapping

Nia age 9
I'm in now in the 4th grade, and I must say I have to be the smartest kid in class, even if my mind is reduced to a child, I still manage to maintain my memories from my past life, and this includes school stuff, I barely even have to try. I'm also very popular, not only because my grades are almost flawless, and my family is rich, of all the ways I could reincarnate, I'm starting to think God is just rewarding me for good behavior... haha, yeah right, I doubt it. School is over and I get on the bus ride it to my neighborhood, I talk to my friends on the bus, "Nia!! There's going to be a group project tomorrow, do you want to be in my group?" asked Lauren. Lauren is a kid that approached me and just, um, asserted herself as my friend, at first I avoided the other kids when I started school, mostly because I knew I was "different", I guess Lauren noticed this and made it a goal to be my "friend", I eventually gave in, besides, mom and dad would eventually would have told me something like "Nia! You should make friends with kids your own age!!" so maybe I can avoid that lecture with Lauren's help. "Yeah, sure!" I answer. Lauren's face light up with glee. When your an adult in a kids body, you began to notice that kids are easy to please, and adults are easy to impress. The bus eventually came to a stop, I get off the bus with Lauren and a few other kids, we all headed in different directions toward our homes, some go alone, some leave in pairs, and others leave as trio's. Me and Lauren head in the same direction, but eventually we bid our farewells and head in different directions. I headed toward my home when suddenly a black van stopped next to me, I stop and looked at it curiously... big mistake. The side door of the van flies open and a man grabs me and pulled me into the van, I began to freak out. My mouth gets covered before I could yell for help. It's obvious what is happening, I'm getting kidnapped. Please just be ransom, please just be ransom, please just be ransom I thought to myself. "No turning back now!!" said one of the masked kidnappers, "this is messed up, do we really need to go this far?" said another kidnapper. "Yes! This is the only way to take that bastard down for good!!" said the first kidnapper, suddenly the one holding me says "weird, the kid isn't struggling very much!" yeah! That's because there is no point to it, even if I do somehow break free, where could I run off to? Right now my best chance is to conserve my energy. "Maybe she already gave up" said the one driving. They began to tie my hands behind my back, again, I don't fight back, my best chance is to behave myself and wait for the right opportunity to show itself. And when that happens. You assholes will be very sorry for this(ง'̀-'́)ง!!
We arrive to where we were heading and the very first thing I noticed... was nothing, because I was blindfolded and my mouth was duct taped. C'mon!! If your just going to tie me to this chair, at least give me something to do, I guess I could just listen to what they are saying, "I'm telling you!! This isn't worth scaring that kid!!" said the kidnapper who was doubting the situation he was in earlier "C'mon, she isn't even scared, she hasn't even cried once since we kidnapped her" said another one, and is wrong, I'm very scared, but crying isn't going to make this situation better, I hard another one talking, but I couldn't tell who he was talking to, it took me a while to realise that he was talking on a phone, "listen, we have your daughter. If you don't confess to the police about your crimes, we might have to hurt her" I started to get nervous when they said "hurt her" but I manage to repress my tears, also, "confess to your crimes?" what are they talking about, God I wish I could at least see what is going on [telekinesis] all of sudden, the blindfold that have been giving me problems flies off my face, "what the fuck?" said one of them that have been watching me, he looks at me for a moment, all I could do is shrug to tell him I had no idea what happen, do to the fact that I couldn't talk. He picks up the blindfold and ties it back on me around my eyes [telekinesis] it happened again, but this time the duct tape also flies of me, "how the fuck are you doing this, kid?!?" the kidnapper asked me, "I don't know, I guess the ghosts here likes me?" I said now that I was able to talk, he tries to put them back on, [telekinesis] but it happens again "Hey guys!" he yells at his buddies, the two who were arguing comes over her, "hey!! Why the hell is her blindfold and duct tape off?!" one of them yelled angrily, "so what? It's not like yelling is going to do anything for me, so what's the point?" I pointed up, but the angry one only says to me "you shut the fuck up you little shit" but the nicer one then response to this by saying "hey! We're already scaring her enough, can't we just be nicer to her for now" I then agree in a angry voice "yeah!! Your already scaring me enough as it is, so can't you be nicer to me" but the angry one just ignored us both and turned his attention to the one have problems putting the blindfold on me, "boss!! I can't put the blindfold on her, it just keeps flying off" he said, "Seriously?" said the angry one "you must be a fucking idiot if you can't put a blindfold on someone, here let me do it!" he attempts to put the blindfold on me [telekinesis] but he started to have trouble himself, I couldn't help but give him the smile of a pro class smartass, "soooo, does this make you an-" "kid, I will fucking slap you if you finish that sentence" he said interrupting me, I began to notice something, the blindfold started coming off when I wanted it off the most, could it be that I'm somehow doing this, I started to experiment, I'll used the angry one as a test subject because he pissed me off the most, he tried to walk away from me but I focused on his leg and [Telekinesis] a unseen force pulls his leg back causing him to trip and hit the floor with his face at full force, "SON OF A BITCH!!! MY NOSE" he said, I didn't feel bad for him one bit! He sat up revealing that his nose was bleeding and was very swollen, ok, maybe I feel a little bad, but I think this confirms it. Somehow, I can make things happen with my mind, all of the other kidnappers helped him up and took him to another room probably to help stop the bleeding, leaving me alone in the room, I make another attempt with my newfound powers [telekinesis], all of the ropes began to loosen and then fall to the floor, I get up stretch and pat myself on the back for this daring escape, and for fun, I flip off the general direction of where they were heading... only to realise that the one who was on the phone was staring directly at me as I flipped him off. shit, I thought to myself, I slowly sat back down on the chair and said "I'm not doing anything(✿◠‿◠)" "HEY!! SHE'S ESCAPING" double shit, I jump out of the chair and made a run for itᕕ(╯°□°)ᕗ[increasing agility] is it just me, or am I seriously fast. I thought for sure that they (with there longer legs) could catch up with me in no time, but I'm easily somehow faster, I began to realise that I'm in an abandoned factory, I notice a supply closet and hid in it. "I saw her run in here" I heard one of them say as they entered the room. I looked through the closets doors, I can't see them, "look around, she's here" triple shit, I was getting seriously scared. I just knew that they were going to find me, or so I thought. "Hey!! Who are... AAAHHH" one of the said before screaming bloody murder, I suddenly hear screaming, gunshots, and... swords? And all of a sudden, it's quiet, I'm even more scared now. I can see a shadow looming from the cracks of my hiding place, I was close to crying, the door sudden swing open. It was Maria our maid, "Maria!!" I screamed as ran out of the closet and hugged her, I've never been so happy to see her face, I guess she 'maid' her way to me...(I'm so sorry not really) "Nia? Are you ok?" I look up at her and said "Yeah!! I'm fine now!" I stopped and realized what she was wearing, she was wearing a full leather outfit, she also had guns and swords on her, she kinda looks like a ninja "um, Maria? What are you wearing?" she started to look nervous, she kneeled down and said to me "Nia, I need you to close your eyes" "what? Why?" I asked her, "don't ask why, just do what your told" I decided not to argue with her, and closed my eyes, and Maria took me by the hand, as we were heading out of the room, I took a peak to see what she didn't want me to see, what I saw was horrifying, the kidnappers, they look like they were cut into pieces, but how? Did Maria do this? I closed my eyes as fast as I opened them.
We were out of the factory. Maria told me I could open my eyes so I did. "Maria? What is going on?" she paused for a moment, "um, it's complicated... are you sure your not hurt?" she asks out of concern, I nodded, Maria took out her phone "are you calling the police?" I asked her, "no, I'm calling your father to tell him your safe" she dials the phone "sir... yes, she is safe, I'll take her home now, goodbye" she hangs up and was about to put the phone in her pocket before I said "now we call the police!! Right!!" she stops for a moment before saying "no, your safe now, so we don't need the police anymore" I wouldn't allow this "no!! A crime still took place, the police need to be notified, maybe there's more to the crime than-" "NIA, ENOUGH!!" Maria interrupted my argument, before I could continue, "Nia, listen, don't tell anybody at school what happened here tonight." what ಠ_ಠ? What is going on? "ok, I won't tell anybody" I said, Maria smiles and said "good girl, let's go home" something is going on, I know it. I think I heard them say "we have your daughter, so confess to your crimes" or something like that, and they keep mentioning a "bastard", only one of my parents can be a bastard, dad, is dad hiding something, I need to get to the bottom of this.
