Momma

Chapter 6

(I hope you like what we did with the place, it was all to easy to find you and get in you really should invest in some security or at least better locks. Now we want Amara you see she's the only one left of her family and well we can't be having loose ends around ya know. no hard feelings now if you don't lets just say it will be all to easy for us to make you give her to us. would't want to have to beat you like we did her mother now would we would be such a waste in all. you got a week to decide hope you make the right choice be seeing you real soon.)

After the note and them breaking in and i knew it was the rival gang from that day and handing the note to my sister i packed and moved. payed for everything in cash my parents gave me a trailer to pack all my stuff in an i left i stopped talking to my family and all that i left an emergency number that they could call if they ever had too but that was it. I even left the country buying a cottage like house in Iceland near the forest and away from everyone and took a job at a nearby hospital. It took me awhile to pick up the language there but not to long i ended up falling in love with this place. Amara has  adjusted to this place amazingly as well. I started taking self defense classes and was starting to get rather good as well as setting up targets and shooting the around the back yard trying to make sure if they ever found us i would at least be able to protect us. Though one of the things that made me buy this house was the root cellar the walls were concrete with rebar i had steel doors with locks on the inside put on as well just  In case you never know better safe than sorry ya know.  As time went on we lived our lives like we have never lived anywhere else Amara even started kindergarten here. she made plenty of friends with the kids in her class and we have finally started feeling safe again. We celebrated Amara's fifth birthday today even invited all her friends from kindergarten. I baked a big carrot cake it was her favorite along with a regular vanilla cake in case people didn't want carrot.  When the party finally started I noticed some of the parents outside talking to each other thinking nothing about it. i went back to making sure the party was going great even adding my  presents on the present table for her to open later when all the other kids left. when all the parents joined inside for the games and food I noticed them looking around seemingly surprised. I mean i know im a bit reclusive but i didn't know what kind of rumors where circulating around town about me. the only one ive heard so far was that i was on the run from an abusive husband that had threatened to kill us if he ever see's us again, I mean their not that far off on what happened just im not running away from a husband but what im guessing is so much worse.  When i came back down to Earth i noticed that some of the other parents were looking at Amara's picture wall in the living room are best moments and most memorable moments since  we had moved here the only one that wasn't there was the adoption day photo but you could't tell what that photo was form looking.  I thought nothing more of it other than nosie neighbors that didn't have anything better to do than spread rumors.  After everyone else had left Amara had opened her presents to be honest she Got some pretty good stuff from her friends I would have to remember to write thank you notes to all the parents that came and brought gifts. I checked all the wrapping papers for gift tags and wrote down the names to write the letters after she went to bed. after dinner and Amara taking a bath i put on a movie for her and went a head getting started on the notes. i put her to bed and got my self ready for bed Thinking how happy we were.

Little did i know that one day this would all come crashing down not to far in the future. An i would have to learn how to deal with things that ive never knew existed  i would be thrown into a world that I don't know if you could ever prepare yourself for. I just hope and pray that both me an Amara can make it out alive and live happy lives. An that i will be there with her through all this holding her hand as we learn what our roles are in this world and we make it through these new trials that have been thrown at us.
