Hi everyone, who is actually taking time to read my jabbering. I did it, I
finally changed my name; it was about time KellaBella was starting to
irritate me. I have to write a paper on writing style soon, so there might
be a hiatus on my stories. Happy reading!

Leah quivered, as the person behind the gun said, "Thought you could get away now didn't you. Hurry up," he said, pushing her towards an old brick building. "Those cops you called, will be swarming this place any minute," the man said gruffly. He opened the back door to the building and pushed Leah in before him.
Leah looked around; everything was black.
"Down here," the man said pointing to another door down a flight of stairs. Through the door was a small room. As the man turned the light on, he said, "Sit in the chair darling." He was referring to an old folding chair in the center of the room.
Leah sat in the chair. The man began to tie her to the chair with rope.
"Wouldn't want you getting away now. You're worth quite a lot of dough. Bet you didn't know your picture has been all over the TV," the man said.
"I've been on TV?" Leah questioned.
"Yeah, and so has your family. They've been crying some big puppy tears over you," he told her.
A lump formed in Leah's throat.
"You said I was worth a lot of money. How is that so?" Leah asked.
"You see your Grandfather is rich fellow," the man cackled.
"Both of my Grandfathers are dead," Leah retorted.
"Not your real Mama's Daddy. Nope, he is alive and counting his moneybags. He won't share any of it. He says he's saving it for his only daughter's daughters," the man said. "You and I are going to be spending some together darling, so we had better get acquainted. My name is Daniel, but everyone calls me Dizzy. I already know your name, you're Leah Carter."
"My last name isn't Carter," Leah said.
"That's right, you was adopted out to those nice mountain people on the TV. You is Gloria Carter's daughter though," Dizzy said. He put the gun on a shelf in the corner. "Sorry 'bout the gun, but you would screamed otherwise."
Leah noted that Dizzy wasn't very bright. "Maybe I have chance," she thought.
"How long before Alec comes back?" Leah asked.
"A few days. He drivin' to your Gradpop's house with Rob," Dizzy said.
"How do you know Rob?" Leah asked.
"He was hired by your Grandfather to keep an eye on you and your sister after Alec found out where you lived," Dizzy said.
"Dizzy is going to be more useful, than I thought," Leah said to herself. "Dizzy, is Alec related to me?" she asked.
"He's your uncle," Dizzy said. Dizzy then turned on a small TV on the shelf and out some popcorn in the microwave. "Maybe we can find a channel with your face on it," he said.
"Why does Alec want me?" Leah asked. She hoped, that she wasn't asking to many questions.
"He wants your Grandpa to write a new will," Dizzy said, with his mouth full of popcorn.
"Rob is just an employee?" Leah questioned.
"No, he's you're half brother," Dizzy said. "Hush up, there you are again on the TV," he told her.
Leah now saw her school picture covering the full screen. A reporter was now shown outside Horizon.
"Hello, I'm Apple Strudel reporting to you live outside Mt. Horizon School. It is hear where Leah Scarbrow's family was just informed that Leah had tried to telephone police from a gas station in Fawnland. All roads leaving Fawnland have been blocked, and the police and volunteers are searching the area. Oh look here come her father now. Mr. Scarbrow, how is the phone call effecting the search?"
Leah glued her eyes on the TV.
"We are hoping Leah is still in the area where the call was made from. It's relieving to know, that she is still alive," Peter said.
"Mr. Scar." Apple began.
"I'm sorry, I need leave now," Peter said. He got into a police car with two officers, and the car sped away.
"Before we go back to regular programming, I want to let everyone that today is Leah's 17th birthday. Now back to Happy Pants."
