I WILL be doing topic #2 after this story which won't be as long as "Brotherly Love" and maybe not even "Secrets". The reason I did this topic first is because the other one has been done a lot (in different forms) and I wanted more time to get ideas to make it more original.. IN fact, if I get a lot of reviews maybe I will work on both stories :P

*two hours later-abandoned warehouse about an hour, an hour and a half away from Mt. horizon*

Kristin's eyes slowly opened. She took in her sorroundings and jumped up. "Where am I?" SHe whispered hoarsly. She looked behind her and saw Scott and Shelby huddled together and Sophie trying to comfort them. "Kristin!" Sophie said and Kristin ran to her. Sophie put out her arms and Kristin cuddled into them. "Where are we?" She asked. "Honey, we were kidnapped- don't you remember?" Sophie asked. "No," Kristin answered and began to panic. "We have to get out!" She said, struggling to get out of Sophie's arms. "No, we can't, we can't take the risk of getting caught, not with you three kids," She said. "What are we going to do then Sophie? Wait until he gets one of us, kill us, beats us or rapes one of you?" Scott demanded. "Hey, he could be gay," Kristin pointed out. Sophie sighed, "Kristin, please, this really isn't the time to be funny," She said. "I wasn't trying to be," kristin said mater-of-factly.

"And Scott, I don't know what we're going to do. I don't know what he wants. I didn't see him, I didn't see the color of the van-" "It was black," Kristin said, her voice coming out squeaky. "i TOLD you they were following us! And one of them looked famaliar!" Kristin exclaimed. "LIke who?" Sophie asked. "This guy named-" Kristin started but all of a sudden a door swung open and a guy stepped in. He had dark brown hair and his skin was pale. He had light blue eyes and was wearing a pair of black jeans and a white muscle shirt and he was drinking a beer. Kristin's eyes widened with fear and she began to breathe heavily. "David!" She yelled. She clung onto Sophie.

"Yes, dear Kristin, it is me," He said with an evil smile. Kristin's mind started panicking.

***FLashback***

"Why aren't I going to school?" Six-year-old Kristin timidly asked her father. "Because you're going with a friend of mine for a few days. I have to go somewhere. Steven is with that mother of yours. Unfortunately I can't leave you by yourself." Her father snapped. "Now go get abag or two of close," he barked and she scampered off. She grabbed a backpack and stuffed it with clothes then ran back downstairs. She sat on the couch and then the door bell rang. She popped up and ran to the door. She opened it and saw a tall, cute guy standing there with a friendly smile. "Hey, you must be Kristin. I'm whose going to take care of you. My name is David," He said. "Hi!" She exclaimed. Her dad walked up behind her. "Thanks, David. If she's bad just hit her a few times," Her dad said. "Bye, dad," She said, happy to get out of the house for a few days. "Bye," He mumbled.

When they were in the car David spoke up first. "You're a prettylittle girl. You got a boyfriend?" He asked, teasing her a little. "Nope." She said. "Aww why?" "I don't know, I'm only 6!" She exclaimed. "So?" He said. She shrugged and looked out the window, wishing he'd stop talking about boyfriends. When they got to his house he took her backpack and led her in. "You'll have to bunk with me, there's no other beds. Just offices and stuff," He said. "I'll sleep on the couch," She said. "No be silly," He said, growing angry. "I don't WANT to sleep in there!" She exclaimed. He slapped her as hard as he could which sent her sprawling across the floor. "Now come on, it's time to take a bath," He said and picked her up by the arm.

***End of flashback***

Kristin shuddered at that memory. David, her "dad" and Steven were the only ones she could actually hate. Everyone else she knew-they were all nice. David stomped over to where the three were huddled and snatched Kristin up by the arm. "You leave her alone!" Sophie screamed and jumped up. David took out a gun and aimed it at Kristin's head. "Sit down, shut up, keep those two quiet or I'll shoot your little precious daughter," He snarled. Sophie, defeated, had no choice but to shut up and sit down-and to hear Kristin's begs for him to just leve her and the others alone.



Coming Up: Phone conversation with David/Kristin's biological father, Peter realizes something is horribly wrong and we learn more about David and Kristin's past, and Shelby and Scott talk about Shelby's growing fear...
