Chapter 6

Lisa felt like she was going to have a heart attack. The closer she got to the car, the more her heart was pounding.

SOMEBODY HELP ME!!! She thought.

They reached the car and he used one hand to open the back door.

"Get in!" He hissed!

Lisa struggled even more now. As soon as he tried to push her in, a tiny click from behind her caught her attention. She also noticed his arms were not was tightly around her anymore. Lisa turned to see the police officer from before right behind her with a gun to her stalkers head.

"Let her go…" The officer said thru clenched teeth, "NOW!"

The stalker let Lisa go and she took the opportunity to run towards the people who tried to help her. Once there, they all stepped in front of her like a shield. When she turned around, the officer had her stalker pinned to the car and was telling him his rights. He continued to glare at Lisa, which sent shivers down her spine.

"You may be free now…" He screamed at her, "But wait until he comes for you! HE COMES BACK IN TREE DAYS!!!"

He continued to scream like that until the officer forced him into the police car.

Tears began to stream down Lisa's face as she watched the cop slam the door in his face. The younger officer from the night was also there and was walking towards her.

"Miss," He asked with caution, "Are you alright?"

Lisa said nothing and continued to cry. The officer sighed heavily.

"Alright, were taking you inside and calling your parents. You need to go home and get some rest."

Lisa could only nod as the officer led her inside.

--------------------------

Lisa's head was still spinning as she waited in the office for her mother to come and pick her up. Many people passed by the office windows and gave her looks full of pity. Lisa continued to stare up at the ceiling counting the ceiling tiles.

About fifteen minutes later, the door opened. Lisa looked up to see her mother looking very pale. Lisa noticed that she didn't even look at her.

"I'm here to pick up my child." She told the secretary.

"Uhh…" The lady began from behind the desk, "I believe your child is right behind you." She said as if it were common sense.

"I know. I still need to sign her out, don't I?"

The secretary stood up. "Wait one moment please. The principal would also like a word with you."

The hurried down the hall to knick on the office door.

Lisa continued to stare at her mom but she still refused to turn and look at her.

Thanks for caring, mom. Lisa thought bitterly.

The principal followed the secretary out of her office and walked over to greet Lisa's mom.

"Miss," the principal Miss Wilkson began, "We are very sorry about what happened to your child today."

Lisa's mother just stared at her with a blank face.

"From now on," The principal continued, "Were doubling security and keeping a look out for anyone else who might cause Lisa trouble. Lisa has already agreed to tell us of anyone else who does thing like this again."

"May I take her home now?" My mother stated simply.

The principal lost some of her smile. "Why yes but don't you want to know the details of what happened?"

My mother shook her head slightly. "No. I'm just taking her home."

Then she turned and walked out the door. "Let's go." She said before the door closed behind her. Lisa grabbed her book bag and followed her out the door with the principal and secretary looking sorry for her.

------------------------------

The ride home was quiet for the first five minutes.

"Mom," Lisa tried, "Don't you even care about what happened?" Tears were coming back to her eyes.

"You will go straight to your room when you get home." She answered with no emotion.

Lisa froze with shock. "What!? Why!?"

She said nothing back.

Lisa's anger burst. "HOW COULD YOU! I WAS ALMOST KIDNAPPED TODAY AND YOU DON'T CARE!?"

Her mother still said nothing and stared forward.

Finally, they pulled into the driveway.

"I HATE YOU!" She screamed at her mother. She got out quickly and slammed the car door. As fast as she could run, Lisa ran up into her room and cried into her pillow.

Hope you guys still like the story. BTW, I need opinions on something. I was told by someone close to me that with more editing and more detail, Night of Secrets could actually be published as a good book. So far only one person has told me this and I want opinions. Please tell me your opinions and I will decide if I will try to send it to a publishing company. It will be longer and more edited but the story itself will not change. Please send me e-mails or reviews for you opinion. You guys will decide if I try to get it out into the world as a book. Thanks!
