Stephanie sat alone in her room. Something didn't feel right to her. She

couldn't help but feel like something was missing. Just then something

flashed before her eyes.

A peaceful little house in the middle of the woods. Suddenly things weren't

so peaceful. Screams were heard coming from the house. Then a dark figure walked

out carrying a small child....

Stephanie snaped back into reality. She looked around her room. Still her old room, not

some strange little house.

"Something is wrong" Stephanie said aloud. Now getting up and heading for the door.

"I don't belong here" she whispered, going out the door and never looking back.

Vince sat in his office trying to get some work done. He stoped suddenly when a picture of

Steph came to his mind. He remembered the day she came into his life, but its not the way

people thought she did.

Vince walked through the hall of his home. 'who ever could this be at this hour?' he

thought to himself. He opened the front door. A man was standing there holding alittle

girl in his arms.

"take her....take her please.....I'll come for her later" the man said in a soft manner.

He placed the girl in Vince's arms and turned to leave.

"Wait!!" Vince yelled, but the man was gone.

Vince looked down at the little girl in his arms. He walked back inside.

"Linda!!" he called

"yes de.." she stoped when she saw the little girl.

"oh my god! what happened to her?" Linda asked walking up to Vince.

"I don't know, a man just droped her off" he said setting the girl down on the steps. He saw

a piece of paper hanging out of her pocket. He pulled it out and read it aloud.

'please take care of my Sonja, she is the only thing I have to love anymore, I will come

back for her'

Vince looked down at the little girl and smiled.

"Her name is Sonja" he said as a tear slipped from his eyes

"Thats a cute name, but I like Stephaie better" Linda smiled

"yeah me too"

The memory faded leaving Vince alone in his office. He looked around. He knew he had to

tell her someday, but he didn't want to.

Stephanie was walking down the street. She wanted to get her mind off everything. She never

saw the black limo pull up behind her. She was grabed by a hand covering her mouth. She was

dragged into the limo. Nobody heard her scream.
