So I decided not to tell my family about all of the weird things that's been happening with me. I don't want them to be worried. I know it's stupid but I don't want them to get hurt. We're in the car, on our way to the mall and I've been trying to call dad. I can't help but think that somethings wrong. He hasn't called or texted back to any of us. Uncle Mike has said we should fly back to see what's going on with dad but uncle Brody has said that it's his duty, along with my other uncles, that they keep Hunter and I safe. 

I was trying to make myself think he was just too busy working when deep down I know that something was wrong and there was nothing I could possibly do to fix this situation. 

"We're here." Uncle James said. Uncle Brody and Hunter drove together while I drove with James and Mike. As soon as he announced that, I got out of the car and stretched my legs. I was so tired from that car ride. It felt like an hour when in reality it was about twenty minutes. I groaned as I stretched and uncle Mike played with my hair like I was a dog. 

I swatted his hand away as he laughed and began to walk towards the end of the car when uncle Brody pulled up into the parking spot on the side of us. I could hear the music blasting and I just rolled my eyes. Turning the car off, they both got out as I leaned back on the car and waited patiently. I was so ready to get in there and get some pretzels. That's pretty much what I'm thinking about. There's something about mall pretzels, they be dry but they be so good.

"You got that look in your eye. Are you thinking about food?" Uncle Mike asks as he crouches down to my short height. I just nod my head and he laughs. We all walk to the front of the mall and I turn to them. 

"Do you guys wanna split up? You know so we all can do our own thing." I tried to appeal with them by my last sentence and I can tell they didn't want too but they wanted to go and do their own thing. 

"Alright then. Let's meet up back here at the front of the mall in about an hour. Keep your phones on you at all times, stay alert, be safe, and don't talk to strangers." Uncle Brody says and I nod as I walk off to my destination: Annie's Pretzels.

As I made my way to the pretzel line, I noticed it wasn't that long so I just stood and waited for about two minutes until I was next up to say my order. I got plain bite size pretzels and a lemonade. The cashier told me how much I owed and I gave her the money. After receiving my little snack, I begin to walk around until I saw Victoria Secret. I was finished with my food and was going to throw it away before entering as I didn't want to be eating and drinking while touching on clothes. That would be a lot of germ problems for me. 

Walking in, I immediately got down to business. I got bras, panties, perfume, and lotion. I then went on the pink side and got a few clothes that would have to accommodate me. I stayed in the store for about twenty minutes until I payed and left. As I was on my way to my next destination, I looked down and grabbed my phone from my pocket as I felt someone trying to call me. Before I could answer, I bumped into someone and dropped my phone. 

"I'm so sorry." I say apologizing to the person. He was nice enough to bend down and pick it up off the floor. Not before getting a peak of my lock screen before giving me my phone back. 

"It's ok princess. Actually I was trying to find someone who could help me find the bathroom at. Do you think you could show me?" I noticed that it was scan likely who called so I didn't answer and put my phone back into my pocket. 

"Uhh... sure." To be honest, I don't know if that was a good decision to make. Here I was about to help a stranger find the bathroom. 

"Follow me." I said as I led the way. He stayed on the right side of me the whole time. Not sayin anything but I could feel his eyes on me. I started to feel uncomfortable. 

After about a while of walking, I was able to finally locate the bathroom. "Ok here you g-" is all I got out before I was shoved into the bathroom with a hand over my mouth. 

"Don't scream or saying anything." He said as he removed one of his hands from me and moved it down to his belt. 

"No please." I tried to say and started trying to get out of his grip but he smacked me hard and I fell to the ground. Grabbing me by my hair, I didn't have time to think before I felt something cold under my chin: a gun.
