Chapter 116
EMMA’S POV
My small heart squeezed in pain as I looked at my mom’s sleeping face. I raised my hand to caress her face and then stopped mid way, but when I remembered that she was in a deep sleep due to her medications, I dropped my hand on her face and began to caress her face.
I was worried. For the past few days, she has been acting strange Was she sick? I wondered. It was scary. I held on to her and hugged her. I did not want anything bad to happen to her. I had no father. I could not bear to lose a mother too.
A cat was meowing in the distance, but as time went on, the sound became louder. Curious to know what was happening, I got out of the bed, walked to the door and opened it. Lo and behold, there was a cat in the hallway.
It was a beautiful cat with white fur and green sparkling eyes. The cat walked toward me and then stopped half way to look at me. I closed the door behind me and began to walk to it too.
“Hello,” I greeted and it began to walk away.
I looked at the room door. My mother’s voice was ringing loud at the back of my head.
‘Emma, do not leave the room without my permission. Do not eat anyhow. When it is night and remain in the room.’

I looked back at the cat walking away and I decided to follow it to at least make sure it was safe.
I tiptoed and followed the cat. My legs began to ache because we were walking for a very long time. I got to the darkest part of the hallway.
A part of me told me to go back, but when I looked at the cat walking further away from me, I decided to follow it.
I felt a huge figure hovering above me and without looking back. I hastened my steps. Then, I began to run, but I was still too slow. A handkerchief was draped over my nose and I blacked out.
When I finally opened my eyes, I saw myself tied up in a strange house. Three burly men were seated not too far from where I was. They were playing cards.
I looked around the house, thinking of ways to escape this place. If my mother woke up and found me, I knew she would be disappointed. I had to find a way to leave this place. I needed help, but nobody was here to help.
I was alone here. My eyes fell on the burly men. It was just me and these men now. It was scary, but this was my fate now. I was scared to death. How would I escape from these wicked wolves now? I wondered.
My eyes
danced around the house and when they fell on the toilet, my eyes lit up.
I coughed in a bid to catch their attention. My plan worked because they all turned to look at me immediately.
“Oh! You’re awake,” One of the wolves pointed out.
“Please, where’s the toilet? I really need the toilet now.”
“Toilet?” They broke into laughter. Then, one of them said; “You’re old enough to read the room, aren’t you. You have been kidnapped. The last thing you should be thinking of is to use the toilet.”
“But I really need to use the toilet.
“Use the container at the corner of the room nearest to you then

I looked at the container and frowned. This was not the plan.
“I want to poop,” I said and they all glared at me.

“You’re not pooping in the same room with us. I am not ready to smell the poop of a six year old,” one of the wolves said, wrinkling his nose and the rest blooded in agreement.
“Don’t poop,” Another said. “If you do, I’ll shoot silver bullets through your heart and you will die.”
My heart skipped a beat. I was not ready to die. Dying was not an option in the situation I was currently in. My mother will be devastated if I die. I had to live.
“I am not ready to die.”
“Then shut the fuck up and remained tied up.”
I looked at the toilet again. I had to escape from here. If I do not, I will die anyway.
I began to cry. They were fake tears at first, but when I thought of the situation I was in, they became real tears.
“Is she seriously crying?” One of the wolves groaned and I became louder. “What the hell is wrong with you?”
“I really need to use the toilet. I am about to poop in my pants now,” I cried out and they all heaved a sigh of frustration.
“Let’s just let her use the toilet,” Another wolf said and they nodded in agreement. He walked up to me and loosened the knot of the used to tie me up.

When he was not looking, I swiftly and carefully swiped his phone and hid it inside my pajamas.
