Terrifying
Chapter 1
"Come on Jasmine you have to stay close to mommy." Jackie said as she grabbed the little girl's hand.
Jackie had stopped at the store after work, normally she wouldn't have the kids with her but today Nick had worked so late that by the time he finally got off it made more sense for her to pick up the kids from her parent's house then it did for him to do it.
Jackie was struggling to keep track of Jasmine and pushing the cart at the same time. At least 8 month old Houston was cooperating, he was fast asleep in his car seat that was situated in the back of the shopping cart.
Jackie stopped in the soup isle and then went to several more aisles to pick up the different things she needed. Shopping was taking much longer than she had anticipated because not only was she having to keep track of Jasmine, but the store was crowded as well because it was just a little after 5:00 P.M.
The last aisle Jackie had to go down was the shampoo aisle. She stopped in front of the shampoo she wanted, when she looked up she saw Jasmine had wandered a couple of steps in front of her.
"Jasmine get back here." she said with a sigh, she was getting frustrated.
Jasmine obeyed Jackie and came back, but she was carrying two bottles of blonde hair dye.
"Oh for Pete's sake." Jackie mumbled. "Jasmine, you do not need two bottles of blonde hair dye." She said as she took the bottles from the child's hand and then grabbed Jasmine's hand.
"Come on, let's go put these back, you little stinker."
Jackie and Jasmine walked the couple of steps and put the bottles back, then they turned and headed back to the cart. When they got back to the cart, Jackie was horrified because Houston was gone!
