Seth and Sky were packing up their stuff then headed to the airport since they were going to visit their mother in Davenport and more importantly Seth wanted to talk to her about James. Once they got to the airport Seth got a coffee and Sky a hot chocolate.
"Are you excited to see mom, Sky?" Seth asked.
"I'm super excited to see her". Sky said.
There flight was then called to board and they headed that way and they were seated, Sky sat by the window while Seth sat in the middle. After a while of flying Sky fell asleep with her head on Seth's shoulder and he got a blanket to cover her up while he started to doze in and out of sleep till he was sleep. He was then awoken by Sky shaking him.
"What is it Sky?" Seth asked.
"Were about to land". Sky said.
"Alright". Seth said.
Once their flight landed Seth got a rental and headed to his mother's house with his sister.
"Come on Seth I wanna go see mom". Sky said.
" Alright alright calm down Sky". Seth said.
"How much longer?" Sky asked.
"Not that long Sky". Seth said.
"Dad's not coming is he?" Sky asked.
"No he isn't". Seth said.
"What if he does and he tries to take me from you and mom, I don't want him to". Sky said.
" Sky, dad won't come around and i promise that he won't take you away from me or mom. He won't ever hurt you again not while I'm around". Seth said.
Before Sky could reply Seth had arrived at his mother's house making Sky excited and bounce in the seat, once Seth put the car in park Sky wasted no time in jumping out of the car and up to the door. Seth chuckled at his sister's actions but he couldn't blame her he missed their mother too but not as much as Sky, he quickly got the bags and headed to the porch where his sister was and he let her ring the door bell. Then a woman opens the door and a smile appears on her face when she saw her children.
"Seth, Sky, come in". Jennifer said.
"Mom I missed you". Sky said hugging her mom.
"I missed you too honey". Jennifer said.
"Its good to see you mom". Seth said.
"Its great to see you too son". Jennifer said.
Seth tthen needed to talk to his mom in private and she knew it.
"Sky, honey go on up to your room so I can talk to your brother. Lunch will be ready soon". Jennifer said.
"OK mom". Sky said.
Sky then went to her room while Seth and his mom went to the kitchen to talk.
"Mom why didn't you tell me about what dad was doing?" Seth asked.
"Son you have to understand when he threatened to take Sky from me in the divorce i didn't want that to happen so I kept quiet to keep her safe". Jennifer said.
"You could have still called me I would have helped you". Seth said.
"Seth he told me if I told anyone even you he would have deemed me an unfit parent and took Sky from me I wasn't gonna let that happen". Jennifer said.
"That bastard". Seth murmured.
"Seth that still your father so watch what you say". Jennifer said.
"Mom you can't be serious what has he done to actually be called my father he's doing the same thing to Sky that he did to me". Seth said.
"Why do you think i sent her to you? So she doesn't get caught up in any of mess. She needs someone to watch her, guide her, protect her, be a father figure to her. She needs someone like you, its your job as her older brother to protect her and watch her". Jennifer said.
"Mom you could have still told me i could have helped you no matter what he would have done". Seth said.
"I wasn't gonna let him take Sky i did what i had to do to protect us. To protect Sky. Once the divorce was over i admit i was a little out of hand and couldn't take care of her so i gave her your information and sent her to you". Jennifer said.
"Well you don't ever have to worry about him ever again". Seth said.
"As long as the both of you are safe that's all that matters". Jennifer said.
There was a knock on the door confusing both mother and son.
"Are you expecting someone mom?" Seth asked.
"No". Jennifer said.
Seth then went to open the door and a scowl appeared on his face.
"What in the hell do you want James". Seth hissed.
"I want to see my daughter, what are you doing here". James replied.
"Its none of your damn business why I'm here and no your not seeing Sky so go back to wherever the hell you came from and don't come back". Seth said.
"Seth who is it?" Jennifer asked coming to the door.
"Hello Jen". James said.
"James what are you doing here?" Jennifer asked.
"I came to see Sky i didn't think that was a problem". James said.
"Your damn right its a problem". Seth said.
"Seth she's a child she makes stuff up". James said.
"Your a real piece of work ya know. Sky maybe a child but i know she doesn't lie and she sure as hell didn't lie from what she told me". Seth said.
"Seth what are you talking about?" Jennifer asked.
"You wanna tell her dad or should I?" Seth asked.
"Tell me what". Jennifer said.
"When you weren't around and he came to see Sky he was drunk off his ass while he was around her". Seth said.
"James have you lost your damn mind what the hell would possess you to be around a child while your drunk!" Jennifer yelled.
"Of course believe her and not me its always been like that". James said.
While Sky was up in her room she heard her mom and brother arguing with someone but she didn't know who so she opened the door and listened, she couldn't hear so she went towards the steps and saw that her mom and Seth were arguing with their father. She got scared on why he would be there she didn't know and didn't care why he was there she ran back to her room and slammed the door making the adults turn towards the steps.
"Look before you make matters worse just leave dad alright just leave and don't come back. Stay away from me, mom and Sky. We don't want or need you around anymore". Seth said.
"Jen please". James said.
"You get the hell off my property and stay the hell away from my kids". Jennifer said.
James then stormed away then Seth shut the door and turned to his mother.
"I'll go talk to Sky". Seth said.
"Alright lunch will be ready soon". Jennifer said.
Seth went up to talk to his sister and when he put his ear to the door he heard sobbing which broke his heart and got him pissed at the same time he goes in.
"Sky he's gone now". Seth said.
"Why was he here?" Sky asked.
"He wanted to see you". Seth replied.
"Well i don't ever want to see him". Sky said.
"You don't have to, you don't have to see dad if you don't want too". Seth said.
"I was always afraid that he might take me from mom and he still might". Sky said.
"Hey remember what i said he won't take you from me or mom". Seth said.
"You don't know the people he knows, he always said that he had friends in high places and if mom told what he was doing he have them do something". Sky said.
"Well don't worry i give you my word he won't ever take you anywhere and he won't do anything to hurt you". Seth said.
"How can you be so sure?" Sky asked.
"Have i ever lied to you before?" Seth asked.
"No". Sky replied.
"Sky as long as i'm around dad won't get anywhere near you". Seth said.
Before Sky could reply their mom called them down for lunch and they went down, while they ate lunch Sky told their mom how cool it was that she was traveling with Seth and whenever they went to a new city she would send a postcard. Jennifer was happy that Sky and Seth were getting along even after meeting for the first time in 12 years she wondered why Seth hadn't asked her about that yet but they'll talk about it later when Sky isn't around.
"Mom can i go outside please". Sky asked finishing her lunch.
"Just stay in the back yard and don't go anywhere". Jennifer said.
Sky then went out the back door while Jennifer started to clean up from the lunch.
"I'm sorry i didn't tell you about Sky". Jennifer said.
"Mom it's not a big deal". Seth said.
"Yes it is, you missed out on everything Seth i wanted to tell you but you just got into wrestling school and i didn't wanna bother you. You finally found something you were good at and you went and followed your dream i didn't wanna bother you i wanted to wait for the right time to tell you". Jennifer said.
While the mother and son continued to talk Sky was in the back yard playing with her basketball set then someone snuck up behind her scaring her causing her to let out a small scream.
"Sky, sweetheart it's me". James said.
"What do you want?" Sky asked.
"I wanted to see you". James said.
"Well i don't want to see you". Sky snapped.
"Sweetheart i made some mistakes can't you forgive me". James said.
"No i can't". Sky said.
Seth and Jennifer heard Sky scream so they run out to see James talking to her which gets them both pissed off, they then go down to the yard to see what the problem is. Sky sees her mother and brother coming so she runs towards them hiding behind Seth.
"I told you to leave and stay away from Sky". Jennifer said.
"She still my daughter". James said.
"See the last time i checked i was awarded full custody of Sky in the divorce and it was my decision if i wanted to give you joint custody and since i don't along with the fact that she doesn't wanna see you, you don't see her at all now i'm giving you 5 seconds before i call the cops on you for trespassing. Now get the hell off my property". Jennifer said.
"Look i made mistakes but i can get help". James said.
"Like i haven't heard that before dad, i will not let you do the same thing to Sky that you did to me that's not happening. Sky needs someone to look out for her, watch her, protect her, guide her through life to make sure she doesn't make mistakes, she needs someone to be there for her. You were never there for me dad and your not there for Sky". Seth said.
"Just leave James and don't come back and if you come back around me or my children i will have a restraining order placed on you". Jennifer said.
"You'll be very sorry". James said.
"Mom take Sky in the house i'll be inside in just a minute". Seth told his mom.
"Come on honey". Jennifer said.
Sky took her mom's hand and they went inside closing the door then once they were safely inside Seth turned to his father with an evil vicious glare in his eyes.
"Dad so help me god if you do one thing to mom or Sky i promise you that you will highly regret it, when you left that means you didn't want anything to do with us anymore so just stay gone if you don't want anything to do with us. Why do you have to do the same thing to Sky that you did to me? She doesn't deserve that and you damn well know it". Seth said.
"Seth i'm just messed up right now i need help". James said.
"Do you know how many times i lost count with you saying that? That's just an excuse dad. Just leave and don't come back, and like i said if you do anything to my mom or my sister you will highly regret it. If anything happens to either of them i will hunt you down to the ends of this earth and show you what i am made up". Seth said.
James then left just as Seth sighed going back inside to check on his mom and sister, once inside he saw that Sky went to her room and his mom was drinking coffee.
"Seth what are we gonna do? He's not gonna stop no matter what we do he won't stop". Jennifer said.
"I have an idea". Seth said.
Seth then got his jacket on just as his mom did then they called Sky down they then left the house and went to the police station, once there Jennifer got a restraining order against James and he isn't allowed a thousand yards near Jennifer, Seth, Sky, or the house and if he violates it he will go to jail. On the way home they stopped for take out for dinner but the whole time they didn't know that James was following them, once at home they all ate dinner and watched tv for a little while. It reached 10 pm and it was time for Sky to go to bed.
"Alright Sky time for bed". Jennifer said.
"Seth can you tuck me in?" Sky asked.
"Sure Sky come on". Seth said.
Seth then brought his sister up to her room and looked around the room to see a lot of wrestling posters.
"I see you like wrestling". Seth said.
"I love wrestling that's what i wanna do when i grow up". Sky said.
"You wanna wrestle?" Seth asked surprised.
"Yeah it's fun and you get to travel to different places". Sky said.
"Well if you wanna wrestle when your older you need to get some sleep come on kiddo into bed". Seth said.
Sky crawled up into her bed and Seth pulled the covers back then tucked them around her when she got comfortable.
"Can you turn my music on Seth?" Sky asked.
"Sure". Seth said.
He then turned the IPod on then he saw his sister about to fall asleep.
"G'night Seth". Sky said falling asleep.
"Sweet dreams Sky". Seth said.
Seth then kissed his sister's head then cut her light out just as he left her room and shut the door, he saw that his mom went to bed so he figured he could stay up for a little bit. It was around midnight that Seth went to bed in his room he checked to make sure the house was locked up, he checked in on his mom and sister before going to bed he then went to his room and went to sleep.
During the night James quietly unlocked the doors to the house and quietly made his way upstairs and went to Sky's room entering as quiet as possible he tip toed over to the bed and held his breath just as she moved then once she stopped he continued to move towards her and picked her up, Sky felt herself being lifted and when she saw who she was about to scream when James covered her mouth with a cloth and she passed out, he then left her room and shut the door behind him he brought her outside and buckled her in then left the house and no one saw a thing.
The next morning
Seth was awoken by the sound of his mother screaming and crying so he got up and went out to see what the problem was.
"Mom what's the matter?" Seth asked.
"Someone took Sky". Jennifer cried.
