I always knew that my Father was in the Mafia, but I never really gave it too much thought.

I see men from many different parts of the world come into our mansion and make deals with my father during what we call "meetings". I never really attend these meetings, because, well, they don't really interest me.

But a few minutes ago, I had no choice but to be interested.

***Going back to about 10 min ago

I arrived home a little late today because of Mrs. Jenkins keeping us in class for a few extra minutes. I scurried inside hoping father wouldn't make a fuss about it.

"Mother! Father! I'm hom-" A hand cupped around my mouth and another around my waist keeping me from moving.

The man holding me nudged me forward slowly, bringing me to the couch.

He ductaped my mouth shut and tied my hands behind my back with a rope then pushed my shoulders down so I would sit on the couch.

My parents walked in after a few minutes and pointed to the guy next to me dressed in all black. "Oh, untie her will you?" My dad rolled his eyes and sat down.

Another man walked in. He had on a navy blue suit and black tie on with black, shiny, dress shoes. His hair was a brownish black color and cut short with the hair on top brushed to the side some.

The man sat to the right of me, directly in front of my father. He smiled at me making me blush and pulled out his hand.

I smiled probably unnoticeable because of the ductape. I giggled thinking, I don't mind shaking your hand, but can you get me out of this first, please?

It was like he read my mind. He looked sharply at the man in black behind me. He untied my hands and ripped off the tape on my mouth.

Ow. I winced.

"Are you alright?" He said in a husky, manly voice.

"Yeah, thanks. I'm Ellie. You are...?"

"Peter. Peter Johnson. You can call me Peter."

"Okay... Peter." I smiled and held my hands in my lap, blushing a little.

"So! Lets get down to business." Peter said. "You owe me so much debt. You have 5 days to get me the money."

"5 days??" My father raged. "That isn't nearly enough time. You must give me longer!"

"No can do, Gerald." He used a nickname for my father that only a select few people use.

"That's ridiculous."

"Not really. If you can't give me the money then... I want her." He pointed to me.
*** Back to the present.

"No-no way. Not happening."

"Give me your daughter. Now." He was starting to get aggrivated.

"Or what?" My father replied.

"She dies." Mr. Johnson pulled out a gun and pointed it towards me.

I gulped.

"Y-You can't do that! I'll get you your money! Just give me more time! Please!" My father fell to his knees and pleaded for more time.

"I'm sorry. But I can't let you do that. Ellie-" He turned to me. "Pack your bags you're coming with me. You have 20 minutes to get everything. When you're done... Meet me in the car. Got that?"

I nodded my head. A tear silently fell onto my cheek when I realized I may never see my family again.

I walked away from everyone to my room so I could pack. Grabbing a suitcase and a duffle bag I tried to fit as much stuff as I thought I would need for leaving.

I packed many outfits, my favorite blanket and pillow, some valuables, some books and music, and some pictures of my family. And of course the necessities-toothbrush, toothpast, etcetera.

After packing my life into two travel containers, I took one last look at my room, then went down the stairs so I could wish my family goodbye.

Mother sat still on the couch with her face tear stained. Father stood standing, his face as red as a tomato.

"Goodbye." I said as I started to silently cry. "I love you guys so, so much."

"We'll see each other again, I'll make sure of it." My dad sniffled.

I pulled them both in for a hug tightly.

"Goodbye." I smiled, hoping I would relieve my parents just a little. They smiled back silently.

Two guards came in. "Times up." One said.

One took my luggage, and the other-the man in black from earlier- gripped my arm hard and pulled me along to outside.

Well that'll leave a bruise later.

The guy that had my luggage threw it in the trunk, and the guy holding me pushed me into the back seat. Peter sat beside me to my right.

I looked back at my parents and saw their sad faces as we drove away.

We sat in silence until we hit the highway.

Peter reached over and put a hand on my right thigh.

"What are you doing?" I looked at him like he was crazy.

"I want to get to know you..." He said. "Personally. I want to make you mine."

"Why? What have I got that you want?"

"You're beautiful. And kind. And smart. I want you. I want you to love me."

"I barely know you..." I said, putting my head down and sighing.

Another tear fell down my face. Peter wiped it away with his hand. His touch sent shivers through my body.

"Where are we going anyway?"

"You'll see." Peter replied.
------

We arrived at what looks like a mansion. About the same size as ours.

"Welcome to my home. Now yours as well." Peter said.

I looked shyly at my feet not saying anything. Still mad because he took me away from my family.

"I'll show you to your room." Peter brought me to a large room with a full sized bed and of course my own bathroom.

"Thanks." I said.

"My pleasure. Now, get some rest. I want to take you out tonight. I'm going shopping to pick you out a dress for tonight. Guards will be around the house." Peter explained and smiled. "Rest up."

I nodded my head and sat on the bed.

He closed the door. I set my alarm so I could take a quick nap.

I layed down and let sleep consume me.
