Chapter 7: FOUND

A knock came from the door.

"Hope,im home."
He tried to turn the knob. It was locked.
"I-i didnt lock the door."
"Hope can you unlock the door?"
"Hope its me!!!" Said the woman.

The knob turned. "Hope?"
2 men stood at the door. "Oh is this your house? We-we thought it was someone elses."
"What would you be doing in someone else's house anyway?"
"We're looking for a young woman."

"Oh,my gosh, you,you're them. You were the ones that took me. Y-you stay away from me and ny family,you hear me?"
Their eyes went wide.
"Oh my,heh,look how big youve gotten."
"Look get out and we won't tell the cops."
They laughed.
"What's so funny?"
"Well missy,we aren't here for trouble,we are here for this."
They showed her a picture.
"That doesn't explain you kidnapping me 9 years ago."

"We needed to you know,have something to stall the girl with so we could get it but when you escaped I immediately thought you ran back to the house. But I guess not."

"Where is she?"

"We don't know. But we'll be back. In a year. We will explain everything then."

Then they ran off.

"Hope!? Hope!"

They shut the door.
"Hope?"
Under the bed was Hope. With the flute.
"Hope get out I have someone you might want to meet."
