Chapter 4: Millie's POV
I was carrying Anna piggyback style, while Jewel and Erin followed staying close. We had ventured into the woods where Anna had seen the person take Ava. I was trying so hard to find her that I really wasn't taking in what this all meant.
We sat on some logs. The sun was beginning to set. 'Oh, no,' I thought. 'I'm lost and we need to get help.'
"Does anybody have anything to eat?" asked Anna. "I'm hungry."
We all pulled out our food. Between us we had 2 blueberry muffins, 3 bottles of strawberry flavored water, 1 juice box, and 2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. We decided to sit and eat.
"Get up," we heard a cold voice say. "Do as I say. If you do not do as I say, I will kill her."
We all turned around, to see a man, the shadows guarding his identity. He had a gun, and held it pointing to the back of Ava's neck.
We grabbed our bags, I grabbed Anna, and we followed him. We didn't want to make a wrong move and be the reason to send a bullet into Ava's neck.
"Here are the rules," he started to say. "You will obey them. 1.) I will dye your hair. 2.) I will cut your hair. 3.) I will give you colored contacts. 4.) I have all new clothes for you. 5.) We will cross state lines. 6.) If you make any wrong move I will shoot whoever the gun is pointing at. You will be okay with all this, understood?"
"Yes sir," we all said in unison.
I turned away to look at the daycare. I tear streamed down my cheek, but I quickly wiped it away.
