Chapter 1
Years had passed since the birth of Lin Xiaoping. He was now nine years old, he was the miniature of his father although he had inherited his mother's energy. Life had been relatively normal for them; he was good friends with his cousins and was greatly loved by his parents. Megan and Lin were overflowing with pride at being parents and were glad they had raised their son right, since he had started school they had heard nothing but good reports about him, he was always well-behaved, helped the other kids when they needed help and was ready to talk to anyone and make friends with them. There was however some problems, some of the kids bullied him for no reason other than the fact he was Chinese-American, this stopped however after his parents spoke with the principal and life was perfect once again.
It was late afternoon, Xiaoping had just got home from school, Megan was busy in the kitchen, and Lin was on his way home from work. Just then the phone rang, Xiaoping picked it up.
"Hello?" He said.
"Who is this, I'm calling for Megan Parker?" A female voice said.
"My Mom's name is Megan, but her last name's Lin," Xiaoping replied confused.
There was a sharp intake of breath from the woman on the other side before she spoke again.
"That's her; I'd like to speak to her please." The woman said, her voice was shaking like she was trying to control her temper.
Xiaoping was confused but none the less turned to his mother who had just walked into the room.
"Mom, someone wants to talk to you," He said and handed her the phone.
"Thanks Xiaoping," She replied, smiling.
As Xiaoping headed through to watch TV Megan brought the phone up to her ear.
"Hello?"
"Long time no see, bitch," The voice says and Megan freezes as she recognizes the voice.
"Charlotte," She whispers, hardly daring to believe it.
It was Charlotte, the girl who, back in high school, had a crush on Lin and tried to force Lin and Megan apart when Megan was at her most vulnerable. But Charlotte was supposed to be in prison for attempted murder, and she wouldn't act like this on a prison phone.
"What do you want?" Megan asks, her voice shaking.
"You know what I want, you stole him from me bitch, you stole him and married my husband," Charlotte almost screamed.
It was just as Megan feared; she was still obsessed with Lin. Megan was about to speak but Charlotte was raving again.
"You stole him from me, I know he wanted me." She declared venomously, "You forced him didn't you, you forced him to marry you and when he refused to have sex with you, you forced him to adopt that brat I spoke to."
Megan shook her head and groaned.
"You are crazy, how many times do we have to tell you?" Megan stated, exasperated, "Lin loves me, he married me because he wanted to and we didn't adopt Xiaoping, he's our son, our own son."
Charlotte shrieked and began yelling obscenities and threats down the phone, Megan rolled he eyes and went to hang up, but the last threat got her attention.
"I swear, I'll make you pay for taking my life from me" Charlotte screamed, "I'll make you pay, I'll make sure that brat suffers!"
Megan hung up and put the phone down, it was then she realized she was shaking.
"Mom?"
She turned to see her son's concerned face and managed a weak smile.
"I'm okay darling, nothing to worry about" She replied, kissing his forehead and ruffling his hair.
She decided to wait until Lin came home before saying anything about Charlotte to Xiaoping.
Lin arrived home about ten minutes later and was greeted enthusiastically by Xiaoping. After Xiaoping return to the living room Megan kissed her husband and then spoke to him quietly.
"Lin, we need to talk, it's urgent," She said.
"What's wrong?"
Megan took a deep breath and told him about Charlotte's call, everything she said, including her final threat.
"She's out, she's escaped from prison somehow," Lin deduced, Megan nodded.
"I don't know how to explain this to Xiaoping, I don't wanna scare him, but if I say nothing she could hurt him" Megan tells him, Lin kissed her.
"We'll have to tell him Megan," He decides.
They then headed through to the living room. Xiaoping noticed the serious looks on his parent's faces and became concerned. They sat down and finally the silence was broken.
"Son, we need to tell you something important." Lin began.
So they told him all about Charlotte, her past with them and what was happening now, Xiaoping listened, his eyes widening in shock as heard about the woman's threats and realized some were directed at him.
There was a long silence as Xiaoping fought o fully understand what had just been said to him, finally he swallowed nervously.
"Am…Am I in danger?" He asked, his voice choked.
Megan hugged him and kissed the top of his head, "Of course not, we won't let anything bad happen to you sweetheart, I promise."
Lin nodded and also hugged his son, "You'll be alright, we're watching out for you".
Xiaoping nodded, feeling reassured, but not completely. They soon received a call from the police confirming their suspicions, Charlotte had escaped and was dangerous, but at this moment there was nothing they could do except wait and hope nothing happened to them before the police were able to apprehend her again.
End of chapter, Charlotte is on the loose, what will happen, will they make it through this nightamre, wait and see. Hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
