Chapter One
"No, please don't hurt her! We'll do anything, anything it takes. Just please, please don't hurt her"
"Anything...? And you're sure she'll agree to these terms? She is very young you know. Are you sure an eight year old can take on such responsibility?"
"You're her uncle. She doesn't know what you can do, she'll agree to it, no matter how terrible, she'll agree"
"Well since you're all so confident, maybe I should wait for her to arrive from school. Oh and by the way… it was never her that I was after; it was you two"
The two that were on the couch exchanged nervous glances then looked at Slade. It was a man and a woman. The man gave Slade a look, he wanted to kill him. The woman looked rather angry as well
"Slade if this is about our marriage then you can…"She was interrupted.
"If it weren't for this marriage we wouldn't be in this mess! I swear Elizabeth you could've at least married someone decent... but no. You had to choose him." said Slade, rage was in his voice
The young woman tried to speak, but she just couldn't find the words
"Very well, you do know sister that the decisions you make are very important- some can affect your entire life. This is one of them" said Slade. He pressed something on his hand and two miniature sized monsters came out and grabbed both the young man and woman by the wrists. They lead them to two chairs and tied them up tightly
At that moment the voice of a little girl could be heard from outside the door
"Mommy, daddy, I'm home!" cried the little girl cheerfully. The door opened and the little girl came in. She had short brown curly hair and bright blue eyes. They had said the little girl was eight but she looked much younger than that, at least by a couple of years. She dropped a small backpack on to the ground and skipped towards her room. When she saw her parents she gasped and her eyes widened.
"Uncle Slade…what's… what's going on?" she asked him hesitantly
"Well, look whose here" said Slade in a mock tone voice. The little girl gave him a look
"What…what are you…doing?" the little girl asked
"Now, now, it's alright, now, come with me, you and you're parents are going for a little ride" said Slade as his monsters grabbed the chairs and headed outside
"Um...I never learned anything about tying people up in chairs…" said the little girl but Slade took her hand
"Come now, I'll explain on the way…" said Slade as he and the little girl followed his monsters and headed out the door
