DIANA

Why am I so cold? Are these silk sheets? Where the hell am I, cause I'm sure not home if I feel silk. I fricking hate silk with a passion!

I open my eyes to find myself in a room with maroon colored walls, wood floors, and a door that I have no doubt is locked. I get up to open the door, but along the way I trip. I stand back up to see that my right leg is chained to the bottom of the bed frame. Well it's settled, I'm definitely going to kill him!

I scan the room for something that I can reach and pick the lock with. Then I realize I've had I bobby pin in my hair since last night! Number 1 rule of any gang or mafia: Be ready for any situation.

After I've picked the lock I'm finally focused and awake. Meaning I remember everything that happened last night. Oh no, what on earth have I done. I have to get out of this city, state, and maybe even country!

I make my way to the door to find it open. Wow, I was wrong, he really is an idiot if he thinks that I wouldn't have escaped that.

I make my way through hallways hoping one of them will lead me to an exit. But as I'm searching I hear this humming, almost like a lullaby. I follow the sound and it leads me to the kitchen, which I know is close to the front door. But, I also see the singing figure holding a little baby who's now asleep.

"Your child looks very sweet." I tried to whisper. I think I whispered to well because she jumped up at my voice and while doing so woke up the baby. I guess she didn't realize anyone had entered the room.

"Who are you?" She asks while bouncing the baby gently trying to get him back to sleep.

"I'm a friend of Vanessa's." She nods at this, but I don't think she really heard me. I think she's sleep deprived. I glance at the kitchen clock and it says 4:27am.

"Would you be ok if I held your son, it looks as if you need some sleep." She looks up at me with wide eyes like no one has ever offered her sleep before and quickly hands him off to me.

"His name is Lucas, he likes lullabies, there is a bottle in the fridge, now I'm going to go collapse on the bloody couch. I'll be in the next room if you need me."

"Aren't you worried that I'm lying about being Van's friend and going to end up taking your baby from you?"

"Nope, I'm not. I have 3 reasons why:
1. No one would ever say they were her friend unless it was true.
2. You look too nice to be a kidnapper
3. I'm too damn tired to care anymore."

After she left I looked down at the Lucas in my arms. He's smiling at me, almost as if he's happy to have worn his mother out.

"Well aren't you a little stinker, let's get you back to bed." He frowns at my comment and starts to cry again. Not on my watch he's not, so I search through the cupboards and I finally find what I was looking for. I pick up the crying baby from the bassinet and hand him a marshmallow. He sucks on it and his eyes start to droop, so I rock him back and forth in my arms. Than like magic he's asleep, I can't believe I still got it!

If you guys are wondering I have never had a kid but I always babysat my little brother. I sure hope he escaped the attack 7 years ago other wise I have no idea who would be ruling the G.I right now. I set Lucas back down in the bassinet, I hope this guy ain't related to the nights in any way. I'd hate for him lose his family like I did.

I wheel the bassinet into the living room right beside his mother, then I head strait towards the front door. I stop in front of the door and rage seeps into me. Now I know why he didn't bother locking the bedroom door, this one has a key code lock. Well, I guess if I'm stuck in this forsaken house I may as well put my self to good use.

How's your week been? Mine has been chaotic!
