General P.O.V.

10:45 a.m.


JJ skips down the hall to her older brother's room. It's a bright and sunny day and JJ has no idea that what will happen in exactly two and a half hours will change the rest of her life forever.

"Eli, where are you going?" She asks, coming to a stop in Eli's doorway.

"I am going out with some friends. But, I promise we can play outside when get back. Deal?"

"Deal." JJ agrees, nodding firmly. She turns and goes back to her room where she was in the in the middle of coloring a pretty picture.


12:00 p.m.

"Jen, listen, daddy and I need to go to town and run some errands. Your cousin Maddie is going to watch you. Be a good girl and listen to her ok?

"But, mommy I don't want her to watch me. She's mean to me and never wants to play with me. Why can't I go to Emmy's house?"

"Because, sweetie Emily may be doing something. I think her mom was going to take her to lunch. Now, Aunt Amber and Uncle James made Maddie promise she would be nice."

"But, what if she's not? Cause she pushed me down at the Fourth of July."

"Well, Madeleine isn't going to that again. Are you Maddie?" Michael asks his niece who had just walked into the house.

"No, Uncle Mic, I won't. JJ and I are going have to a great time." Maddie replies.

"Ok, now give me and daddy a big hug." Sandy tells JJ.

"Bye Daddy, bye Momma. I love you."

"We love you too, bug. We'll see you in a couple of hours." Michael says and then he and Sandy leave the house.

Once they are gone JJ turns to her cousin.

"Maddie, do you want to watch Ariel with me?" JJ asks. Ariel is her all-time favorite Princess movie and she has already watched it at least thirty times since receiving it at Christmas.

"No, but you can watch it in your room. Just don't bother me. Ok?"

"Well, can I go outside and play with my chalk, please?"

"Sure, I don't care." She grabs the phone and starts dialing, but JJ doesnt ask who she's calling. She just grabs the bucket of chalk and goes outside.


12:20 p.m.

JJ draws a hopscotch drawing and grabs rock from the garden. She throws it on a square and it lands on the number '5'.

About twenty minutes later a man walks up the sidewalk. JJ looks at him and doesn't recognize him so she follows him into the house.

"Jake, you made it. Great. Come on, there's all kinds of food in the kitchen."

"Maddie, who's this?" JJ asks following her cousin and the strange teenager into the kitchen.

"JJ this Jake, my boyfriend. Jake, this JJ." Maddie rols her eyes. "I have to babysit the little brat."

"Hey, I'm not a brat! I'm going to tell Aunt Amber you called me a mean name!"

"Oh, boohoo." Jake says back as Maddie just smiles.

"Maddie, can I have something to eat please?" JJ asks.

"Sure." She pulls out some bread and makes a pb+j sandwich. "Here." Then she turns to Jake. "Can you watch her? I have to go upstairs for a moment."

"Sure, I can do that." Jake gives JJ a creepy smile. Maddie nods and leaves the room. "So, what kind of junk food do you have?"

"We don't have any. Mommy says junk food will give us cavities and then the tooth fairy won't want our teeth." JJ says.

"Huh? Well great." He grabs the backpack off the counter. "Well, I guess this will have to do." Jacob takes out a bottle of alcohol and takes a big drink.

Maddie comes back downstairs and looks at the bottle. "Ohh…give me some of that." She snatches the bottle out of his hands.

"I know just what we need to do. Let's play a game. We'll call all our friends and we can have a party!"

"Yeah! Sounds like a plan. But, first…I have to get rid of her." Maddie throws a thumb in JJ's direction.

"Hey, JJ! Why don't you go upstairs and watch a movie?"

"What will you be doing down here?" JJ asks.

"Oh, nothing. Just watching TV." Maddie replies, taking another swig of the alcohol.

"Ok." JJ shrugs and runs out of the room.

Once she's gone, Madeleine and Jacob burst into giggles. "She's so oblivious!" Maddie says.


Exactly 30 minutes Later. 12:50 p.m.

"I wonder if there is any Scooby-Doo shows on." JJ wonders out loud. She turns the TV on and skims through the channels until she hits the cartoons. To her luck, an episode of Scooby-Doo she's never seen before if on.

She flops back on the bed and grabs Mr. Rabbit, the bunny Emily got her for Easter that year.


1:15 p.m.

By one o'clock in the afternoon, JJ is growing tired of watching TV. She jumps from her bed and goes to the window to look out.

Outside the weather is taking a turn for the worst. Real bad, real quick. The air is thickening. The wind is picking up and the sky is turning a nighttime gray with a hint of green.

For JJ who doesn't know to look for that certain color, she also doesn't know the dangers that come with it.

Just as she is zipping up her raincoat to go outside and play in the rain, the door to room opens.

A boy, around the age of 18, comes in and looks at her.

"Jake? What do you want?" JJ asks.

"I…want…you." Jake slurs out, the drinking making his head feel funny and his capability to walk slower than normal.

"What do you mean 'you want me'?"

"I like little girls, JJ. I love the way that they are so young and innocent." He stumbles over to her and corners her against the bed. "Now, be a good girl and lay down."

"No! Don't touch me! Maddie! Maddie, help!" JJ yells out immediately starting to panic.

Jake reacts immediately, slapping JJ in the face and pushing her down on the bed.

"Shut up, you little brat!" He lays down on top of her and forces his tongue into her month.


I know! I know! I am so evil!

I went ahead and substituted the Surgery chapters for Easter.

Do you think Maddie will save JJ before it's too late? Or do you think she will escape at all.

This chapter ties in with the storm chapter.

Please review! I will have the second part up soon.
