Toby

Toby huddled in the corner afraid. He looked around him and saw an altar in the centre of the room covered in blood. He hoped his parents would find him soon. They were FBI and would surely come and save him. They had to.

He saw the scary guy come in with a knife and huddled himself nearer to the corner. What was he going to do to him? Was he going to cut him with the knife? Was he going to stab him? He was only six. He was too little for this. He just wanted to wake up and find himself back at home.

He wanted to cry but he wouldn't. He wouldn't let him see how scared he was. Daddy had told him if bad people came to get him he should show them no fear no weakness. He would do his dad proud even though he really hoped he would come save him soon,

The man picked him up while he tried kicking him to let him go but he didn't even seem to notice he was kicking him. He tried to kick even harder but still nothing. He tried to struggle as much as he could but all he did was hold him closer to him.

He laid him down on the altar and Toby tried to roll off but in retaliation the man strapped him across his shoulders and stomach. With his free legs he tried to kick him again and the man glared at him.

"Kicking will only make it worse," he growled at him.

He didn't care. His life was at stake. He kept kicking and the man slapped him hard across his face. Though it stung he just kept kicking. He had to survive for mummy and daddy. They would surely come and find him soon. They were his heroes.

The man glared at him again and picked up a needle. He shoved it into Toby's leg and even though he tried kicking again his legs just wouldn't move. He froze as he couldn't move. He'd never been so scared.

He saw the man bring the knife down on his chest and felt it go in. His breathing became heavy as he started dragging the knife around. He was terrified they were going to kill him. Where was mummy and daddy? Why had they abandoned him? Would they find him too late? He just wanted his parents to come save him. They helped save other people all the time.
