Lauren's pov
I reopen the car door and sit back in my seat in the back. I pull my seatbelt over my body and look at my mom as if to say "why aren't we moving yet" with my eyes.
mom : are you ok?
lauren: sure mom everything's fine.
mom : are you sure?
lauren : not really
mom : then what's wrong
*phone buzzes*
? ; if you tell your mother, she'll die. The powers in your hands this time Lauren.
what the hell
lauren: I still feel a bit sick, can I open my window.
mom : sure honey, don't worry about it, try and sleep a little.

I reopen my eyes and see that my mom isn't in the front seat. I'm overwhelmed by hunger and immediately worried. I haven't eaten since this morning and it's now about eight o'clock. Right now, I need to think about this texter. Should I reply to these texts or not? What if they've hurt my mom? What if they've taken her? Then suddenly the car door opens and I see moms comforting red hair and know I'm safe. She sits down in her seat in the front and hands me a bag. I open it, and inside is a blindfold and a gag. What? Then the person I thought was my mom turns around.
That's a face I'll never forget. He pulled off the wig. His teeth smiled a smile is seen before. Behind the mask I saw eyes I'd never forget. This was the man who had ruined my life. The one we were REALLY running away from. The one I thought was dead. Mark, my dad.
there was an alert on my phone and the screen flashed.
I checked the alert. carefully so he didn't see. It said,
? ; need some help
Lauren ; who are you.
? ; right now I'm your best friend. I can't have someone else messing with you can I?
The car came to a sudden halt. There was a body laying in the middle of the road and although my father is a horrible person. He's not completely heartless. He drags the body to the side of the road and starts to move back to the car. Then suddenly a shot rang out behind him the body he thought was a nobody. Had just fired two shots at his chest. That fake body was my mom.
? ; thank me later.
