Babies Innocence

chapter six

Emmett

....

All around were trees. I was a bit taken aback because it seemed pretty isolated here, and if I don't succeed with escape at whatever place they're taking me, I for sure had little chance of escape here. The house was surrounded by snow and forest, I didn't have a clue where they had taken me, how long had I'd been out when they were taking me to their house because I had to be far from where home was. I felt so disappointed.

The crazy man carried me to a Grey van that was parked on a shoveled trail that led into the forest. Sliding the door open, just as I didn't already have enough shock for a day, I see a fucking car seat! I was so taken aback, I think I audibly gasped because the man rubbed my back a little before trying to place me in that horrible contraption. I wanted to leave that stupid house with that creepy baby room and everything, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I just couldn't get myself to sit in a baby's car seat when I was big and old enough to sit on the normal back seat. Before he could put me in it, I held on to his shirt. He kept trying to pull me off and put me in the car seat, but my grip only tightened. The man finally stopped trying to put me in the seat and held me to his chest again.

"I know it might look scary to you, but trust me, Emmett, it's to keep you safe while I'm driving."

This bastard must think I'm scared? There must be something really wrong with his head, of course, I wouldn't want to get in that thing, I'm not scared! Once again he tried to put me in that car seat, and I held on to his shirt. But this time he managed to pry my shaky fingers off, he started to buckle me in and I struggled as much as I could, but my body wouldn't listen to me. My balance was all off, and next thing I know I'm stuck in this thing and the crazy couple sat in the front seat. I tried to unfasten the car seat, but it was like trying to solve a puzzle and I'm absolute shit at puzzles.

I didn't speak during the ride but instead decided to look out the window so that I could get a feel of where I might be and where to go when I finally escape. I must have been so focused because I flinched a bit surprised at the sudden touch on my leg. The woman had turned around as much as she could in her seat, and was placing a bottle on my lap, which was filled with what looked like milk. She also placed a pacifier on my lap, when she did that I glared at her like she was crazy, but it didn't seem to affect her much because she just continued to look at me with a smile like she was looking at the most delicate thing in the world. It felt unsettling.

I ignored the drink and threw the pacifier on the floor, then ignoring her I turned my head around to look back out the window. I was thirsty after all that...crying, my throat, and mouth were dry. But I wasn't going to give in and let them think they won, anyway, who knew what they could've put in that bottle. As I stared out the window, I could hear her making a comment to her husband,

"I think we'll need to put some string or something on his pacifiers. I've got a feeling that he'll be throwing them everywhere and will lose them all. Ha, reminds me of Sam when he was little. I saw some really cute ones when I went shopping, we can just clip his pacifier to his shirt so he doesn't lose them so easily."

I was a bit dumbfounded as they were having a conversation about me as if I couldn't hear. I saw as the man nodded his head at what the woman was saying,

"Yeah, we should remember to get some next time one of us goes shopping."

I started to ignore their conversation as they went on to talk about a new detergent or whatever. Although I couldn't help thinking about who this kid, 'Sam' was supposed to be. His name was just nipping at me in the back of my mind as I stared out at the passing trees. I was trying to be careful in noticing any one person that might pass by that I could call out for help, and as soon as those thoughts passed my heart nearly beat out of my chest and I got super excited. There were no more trees and we seemed to be pulling into a small town. I quickly glanced at the crazy man and women, they seemed to still be talking and wasn't paying much attention to me, so in a hurry, I quickly attempted rolling the window down. But nothing... The closer we got to those people the more desperate I felt. I didn't even try to hide my escape anymore. My breathing grew labored and I was frantic at this point, I just started banging on the window begging for someone to notice and help me. I could feel the women trying to pull my hands away, and it hurt me to realize that it actually worked, my body wasn't in any position to fight back or resist. This tiny woman had strength exceeding my current, so all I could do was glare at her as she was bent over her seat. She held my hands down and tried to calm me,

"It's ok, mommy's here. Just breath, hmm."

This did not at all calm me, it just made me feel worse. I was so close to all these people, all this help, and they were just passing by me as if they couldn't hear a thing or see me. As the lady held on to me I didn't stay calm but attempted resistance. It kinda hurt my pride that this little woman could overpower me. I'm a guy and am even taller than she is. The women couldn't hold me down the whole ride, and I guess the man thought of this because he decided to speak up to tell me something that totally crushed more hope I ever had in escaping, 

"Little man, calm down for a bit a listen ok? Mommy and I love you very very very much, but there are some people who wouldn't understand that... They might take you from mommy and daddy, and that would make us very sad, we don't want that so we decided to install tented and sound-proof windows. I know you might be a bit scared and confused now but we'll protect you and won't let anyone harm you. Everything we do is for your own good, you hear me? So please try to calm down, if you're feeling too stressed, mommy has another binky up here for you."

The woman let go of my hands, and turning around she dug in the bag she brought retrieving another pacifier. She tried to put it in my mouth but I smacked that out of hand, and she sighed. I shouldn't have been so hopeful, of course, they wouldn't bring me outside without preparing. I felt a bit stupid for even hoping, I felt so upset, everything has been too much for one day. I'm guessing the lady saw the shift in my mood because then she started talking to me about all the "fun" toys I could play with when I got home. Just hearing her talking to me about playing with infant toys just made me feel sick, I just decided to tune her out, and instead looked at all the people passing by outside, all the lost opportunity right before me. 

I hate to admit that I was dozing a bit, but today's just been exhausting. But just before I could doze off into sleep, what I saw made my heart drop.

 Just when I thought today couldn't get anymore exhausting and cruel, I saw the car slow and go into the parking lot of a... clinic?!
