It looked like the hooded figure was their boss. They were all smiling at me. Not a friendly smile, a smile like they were happy that they finally kidnap me. "Why does this stuff happen to me?" I thought to myself. "This stuff happens to you because you're special. You're different. You are the daughter of the biggest criminal in the world. That is why this happens to you." The hooded man said. Walking towards me. I had the urge to shoot him away from me with my hands but my hands were tied up so I couldn't really do anything. I looked at the man. He took off his hood and he was a very handsome man, with a scar across his face. He bent down and lifted my chin. "We should keep you" he said letting go of my chin. I looked away quickly. I remembered where I was supposed to be, I should have stayed with my dad but I just had to step out of line.

 I continued to look down as I heard the woman scream. I looked up and saw my dad standing there, making hand movements. I watched in amazement as all of them went flying. The hooded man looked away from me and ran away. My dad ran over to me. "Are you ok? Are you hurt?" He said untying me. I stood up and looked away from him. "Will more people come for me because im your daughter?" I said rubbing my arm. He sighed and put his hand on my shoulder, again. I turned around with fear in my eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't want this to happen. I wanted it to be different." Turned around. "Yea, I know" I muttered under my breath. I walked back to the furniture shop and went to the back. There were chips, drinks, and a lounge area with a TV. I grabbed 2 chips and one big drink with some cookies. I laid my food in front of me and turned on the TV. I started eating and I lost track of time. After a while, I got up to use the bathroom and looked out the window and it was pitch black. I couldn't see anything. Not even people. 

I felt a pit in my stomach. I paced around and thought of what would happen if my dad didn't find me. Well, he the most powerful person in the the world how could he no find his own daughter? I looked around for a blacked because it was freezing in there. Sure enough, I found a blanket laid over a sofa. I grabbed it and ran over to the lounge area. I locked the door and closed all the windows. I moved the chairs so the surrounded me, I made a fort and it was actually pretty big. I found a blow up mattress so I blew it up and slid it into the fort. I put a sheet over it and grabbed a pillow from one of the chairs. I put the rest of the pillows around me and grabbed a lot of snacks, cookies, and drinks. I curled up in the blanket and turned on the TV. My eyelids started to feel heavy and I decided to turn of the TV and go to sleep. 

Once I fell asleep, I heard a sound. Like, somebody throwing balls of energy in a sci-fi movie. I woke up and groaned. I looked around and it seemed like I was dreaming but it was too real to be a dream. I slid off the bed and crawled out of the fort. I peeked around the corner and noticed that there were no people outside. The place looked deserted. It seemed like the city had been abandoned for, decades. I started to get nervous as I continued to look around. I walked to the exit and sure enough, It was locked. I shook the doors and it stayed shut. I started to panic and I walked to the back door. I was also locked. I was running around, frantically looking for and exit that I could actually open. I hid in a closet. The lights were off and I looked around. I had my knees curled up to my chest and I clutched my head as I rocked back and forth. I got up and walked out of the closet. All of a sudden, everything started to turn black. 

The darkness spread like a virus and covered everything. I looked all around me hoping to find and light. I started screaming and crying. "No! Don't take me! Help me! Please!" I said collapsing on the ground. A figure appeared in front of me. I was all black and it looked like a ghost but, evil. It started laughing a terrible laugh. It made me feel small inside, like I was nothing. It dove through my body and I felt a sharp pain that shot throughout my whole body. I fell on the ground and I yelled. The pain was terrible, it felt like I was being stabbed everywhere. "Wake up May! Wake up!" I heard a voice that felt far away. I felt like someone was shaking me. I squeezed my eyes together and continued to scream. "Wake up!" said the distant voice. 

I felt someone touch my head. I opened my eyes and I was back in the furniture store, no monster, no darkness. Just sirens and bright lights. I looked around and noticed my dad next to me. I jumped up and realized what was happening. "No, its ok. Sit back down" he said in a calm voice.
