"M-Michael?" I stuttered He smirked then chuckled at me. "You didn't think I would find you? Did you?" He smirked. "I-I..." I was shocked. How did he find me? His smirk turned to a serious and intimidating one. He started walking towards me in long strides. I turned around and started running, but didn't get very far when I felt hands wrap around my waist. "Let me go!" He chuckled and whispered in my ear, "I'll never let you go again princess." I felt tears sting my eyes and blur my vision. He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. "No!" I cried and banged on his solid back. I saw that he was leading me towards his car. "No! Michael don't! Please don't!" He chuckled, "you won't be saying that for long baby girl."

I tugged and tugged and then I heard chuckling behind me. "Aren't child safety locks great baby girl?" He smirked at me. I felt tears run down my cheeks. He pulled my arm so I was close to him again. He wiped away my tears with his thumb. "Don't cry baby, please, you know it breaks my heart to see you hurt." "Then l-let me go.
