Ebony's mom pov

I can't believe it. Just half an hour ago I was cooking dinner for my husband and son. Now we are at the hospital waiting to see Ebony. I always thought she was alive but it's been so long people just kept saying that she was dead. I just couldn't accept it. Now I get to see her after 10 years. I get to see my baby girl again. We are going to be a
family again. Everything will be alright.

Ebony's pov

The doctor came back and told me that my family was here. I know I should be excited to see my parents but it's been 10 years. I'm a stranger to them and they are strangers to me. Plus I don't have a mom and dad, I only have Daddy. Daddy is going to be mad when he finds me. He won't forgive me....maybe he will finally put me out of my misery.

I know that the police are waiting to speak to me but they have to have my "parents" in the room since I'm not 17 yet. I should just get this over with so I tell the doctor I'm ready even though I'm not.

The questions were easy at first:
"What is your name?"
"Ebony Ashford"
"How old are you?"
"16"
And on it went before it got to more difficult questions, questions I'm not allowed to answer.
"What happened August 27, 2004?"
I respond with silence.
"Who was the man that took you?"
Once again silence was the answer.
I looked to my "mom" to see her staring at me with tears in her eyes. I don't know this woman, I don't know the two men either. I was supposed to be reunited with my family but these are just a bunch of strangers. Daddy was family I think, I mean why would he make me call him Daddy if he wasn't my dad?
I didn't realize the police officer had been speaking until he called my name.
"Huh?"
"Are you going to answer the questions about your abduction?" he asked.
"I can't, Daddy will get mad," was my reply.
"No I won't sweetheart. I won't get angry at all," dad attempted to persuade me.
"You're not my Daddy," I said softly. I saw the shock and pain flash in my "dad's" eyes. I feel a little bad making him sad, he seems nice.
"Whose Daddy?" the police officer questioned.
I just looked at him and answered simply he is Daddy the one who raised me and taught me how to live correctly.
"Did he hurt you?"
I wasn't going to answer but the doctor stepped in and gave the officer a copy of my medical chart. I wonder when the doctor did an examination of me....probably while I was passed out.

Ebony's dad pov

I was so happy to see my little pumpkin. I expected her to run into my arms and say I missed you and I love you, but instead she says I'm not her dad. That DADDY is her parent. Who is this daddy man, I'm going to kill him for brainwashing my little girl. He is going to regret ever laying eyes on Ebony, I will make sure of that.

~~Obnoxious weeping because so far only four people have read this book. Oh well I'm trying and that's what counts. Well my amazing mostly nonexistent readers stay awesome.😘😘😘😘
