Chapter 4: Change Of Mind, I Am Not Michelle!

Michelle

The next day I went to the police station, determined to tell them I will not be afraid of them anymore. I will not be afraid of them. I have my family and they will help me get over this. They're my family, they will help me.

I wanted to hide when I saw them. They seemed angry with me. Probably because I didn't get them out yet.

I sat down anyways.

"Danni, what do you have to say for yourself?" The man said in a scolding tone.

"It's Michelle, and I have come to tell you, I am not going to be scared you anymore. I am not your puppet you can play around with. I know what you've been doing to me and I don't like it!" I snapped.

"Danni, sweetheart, we've only been playing hide and go seek with your family, we haven't done anything. We are only here to protect you, we care about you. We love you Danni. We chose you and your brothers for a reason." He said.

"Listen you little brat, you're going to get us out of here because if you don't, when our sentence is done, you're family's life is done and you'll be back with us. And if you think about telling the police, or anyone, you're dead meat kid!" The woman said angered.

"Relax honey, Danni wouldn't do that, especially since she knows how much we love her and want her safe. She knows we only want what's best for her. Now, Danni, we will see you at 5 tonight? Because if we don't, your dad and sisters will disappear slowly, one by one till no one's left, then you and your brothers will be next..." He said.

Will I really put my family through that? My sisters don't deserve this….

"What about what I want? I want to be home with my family…." I said.

"All we are doing is protecting you. We just want what's best for you Danni. And your family is not what's best. We are. We just want you to be happy Danni, and you'll be happy, with us. Don't you agree, you were happy with us before Hide and Seek finished…." The man said.

"We love you Danni, you're our daughter, we love you, we just want what's best! You were happy with us, you loved us Danni." The woman said in a nurturing tone.

I held my head.

Laughter, I was laughing.

"Hi Danni, are we going to have fun today?" The lady asked coming in.

I went through a brief period of accepting the fact I was here, never to be seen as Michelle, just as Danni. I went through a period where I believed they were my family and Michelle was just a figment of my imagination.

"Hi mommy." I said with a smile.

"Someone's happy, okay honey, let's get you dressed and ready. Daddy wants you to see him today for your reward for being a good girl. You 2 are going to spend the day at a theme park." She said. She picked out a dress and some leggings. She took off my pajamas and underwear. She then placed on new underwear and my dress and leggings. She did this delicately, examining my body. She then grabbed my brunette hair wig I wore till they decided I didn't need it anymore. She put the wig up into pigtails.

During that brief period of acceptance, I thought that all parents did it, and Michelle was either lucky or not to get this kind of treatment from her parents and family.

Daddy was already dressed when I got the the door. He had doughnuts with him.

He bent down to eye level with me.

"Hi baby." He said. He kissed my forehead.

He offered his hand and I took it. He took me to the car and buckled me in. The front seat….

He was always rubbing my thighs and would make me hug and kiss him on the way there. It was a 2 hour drive.

"Well here we are honey!" He said gleefully. I climbed out of the car and he grabbed my hand and stroked it with his thumb.

I looked up at him and smiled. We walked into the park and rode rides. At one point on the ferris wheel I said: "I love you daddy!" and gave him a big hug. He always held me close to him, He was protecting me.

He always held me close to him when out in public, this way he can make sure he has control over what I am saying, by that I mean if I begin to say something that could get me found, he can cover my mouth or threaten me privately, also to make sure I do not get too far from him where he won't have power.

I thought every parent did that, and I took it in a caring form. When he took me out when I knew I was Michelle, I took it in a different form, abduction form, but looking back on it, I know it was abduction protocol in his mind.

"My name is Michelle." I said.

"No, sweetie, your name is Danni, you just look like a Michelle. We did nothing wrong honey, you need to help us out of here and get your brothers." The man said.

"So I'm not Michelle?" I asked in a whispering tone. Mostly to myself.

"No, honey, you're Danni, our daughter!" The woman said in a nurturing tone.

"I AM MICHELLE!" I cried.

I was scared and confused. I didn't know who to trust. I can't remember much before my life before them, but I always held on to a few things, mostly memories that my whole family was a part of. I never let go of being Michelle until that brief period of believing I was Danni.

"We love you Danni, we only want you safe and what's best. And that's us. You'll get a mom, a dad, no sisters, and 2 brothers. You'll get dresses and dolls, everything a little girl dreams of. Be our little princess, just like you always were. Just like you were since you were born. You were always with us, so come, be with us again. We're your family. We love you. We just want what's best. Be our little princess again. Okay Danni? Be our little princess and do what you know is right, getting us out of here. We know you believe in Justice, and we are innocent, and you want to get us out of here, don't you my little princess?" The man said.

I flinched everytime he said princess.

"Michelle Elizabeth Tanner?" A police officer said.

"Huh?" I asked. I turned in my chair to face the police man.

"Come with me honey, I will take you home." He said.

"My little princess, please. You don't have to be afraid, we are here and we will protect you. You don't have to go with him, you have rights." The man said as I was walking away with the police officer.

My little princess kept repeating over and over in my head.

When I get home I looked Danny in the eye.

"I am not Michelle." I said. I then left the house again.

Danny

"I am not Michelle." Repeated over and over in my head. I knew letting her go up to that police station alone was a bad idea. I thought we helped her get passed this!

She said she was going down to tell them that she wasn't afraid of them anymore. What happened?

I will not be here till Wednesday because I will be in Disney for my birthday. If you see me in Disney, wearing a button in Magic Kingdom on Friday, do not be shy to approach me, I would love to speak with you! :P

Also, This is just Michelle trying to figure out what's true and not. Threats are also mixed in. She doesn't want her family to die because of her. So she may go back and forth trying to figure out stuff.

But yeah, I'll be gone from now to Wednesday.
