chapter 210


    We drove to the park, the ce was surprisingly not as packed out as I was expecting and only a


    few people were around with their kids. Pulling up, Amara squeals happily and I climb out of the car


    before opening the back door and retrieving Mara from her carseat. The park was pretty big and had


    everything including pic areas and a barbeque and also a sandpit.


    She runs straight for the boot of the car the moment her feet touch the ground bouncing up and


    down excitedly. Rnd pops it open before handing her, her bucket and Pale before she runs off


    toward the sandpit.


    Rnd followed closely behind her before flopping down in the sand next to her and helping her fill


    her bucket. Mara seemed happy enough but I did notice a few of the parents grab their kids the


    moment he stepped into the sandpit dragging them away or just leaving entirely, eventually they all


    leave, giving us the entire park to ourselves.


    Sitting next to Rnd and Mara I look around to find the cepletely deserted now. Everyone


    is gone and I look to Rnd.


    "Everyone left" I tell him, a little shocked, I know for years the three of their faces were a constant


    in the news but they have kept to themselves for a few years now and besides the Thaddeus incident


    that thankfully Amara cleaned up nothing has happened.


    "They will never forget, those at the ygroup though are used to us now. They stopped running


    from us after the first month" Rnd says, noticing me looking around. The thought saddened me,


    making me wonder what that means for Mara.


    "So they let her y in ygroup" he nods.


    "Yeah Orion and I just stay off to the side, make any sudden movements and they bolt" he shrugs.


    "You shoulde with us, might put some of the parents at ease, you haven''t torn apart cities like


    we have"


    "Does she notice?" I ask, looking at Mara.


    "Not sure, I hope not," he says, tugging a curl back behind her ear.


    We yed in the sand for a bit before Rnd pushed her on the swings, just when we were about


    to leave I suddenly needed to pee. Looking around, I see the toilet cubicle and scrunch my face up at it


    before getting up.


    "Gotta pee" I tell him and he nods before turning back to Mara. I walk over to the small brick toilet


    block. Opening the toilet door with my elbow I look at the steel toilet, so gross I am not touching it, I


    think before jockeying it so I don''te in contact with it.


    I quickly wash my hands before walking back out, looking at the swings. I don''t see them


    anywhere when I hear Mara cry before feeling something cold and made of steel pressed to the back of


    my neck.


    "Bout time you left the house"es a male voice behind me. I go to turn when they speak again.


    "Not so fast, I have your daughter look at the carpark, the white van next to yours" the mystery


    voice says. I do and my stomach drops when I see Laura holding Mara with a knife in her hand. Mara


    crying for dadda.


    "Where is my husband?" I ask my eyes darting around before spotting him next to the swings on


    the ground unmoving.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    "He is alive, but if you don''t do what we say your daughter won''t be, now move" he says poking the


    barrel in the back of my head. I walked toward Laura who was holding Mara, a nervous look on her


    face.


    I hold my hands out for Mara, “try anything your daughter will be dead before you take a step" he


    growls behind me and I look around seeing men in ck suitse out of the trees surrounding the


    park, guns in hand and Mara''s back lights up with red dots.


    "Get in the van" he says and Laura opens the back of it up and I look around trying to find some


    escape when I feel a pinch in my neck. I touch my neck before feeling woozy making me sway and


    clutch the door. Mara starts screaming and Laura takes her from me, ripping her out of my arms, my


    entire body felt like it was on fire. Wolfsbane. The man behind me suddenly tosses me in the back


    before getting in. Laura also gets in with Mara and ces her on herp. While Iy on the van floor.


    The dark haired man taps the wall of the van before I feel it start moving.


    I couldn''t move, all I could do was try to muffle the sounds I was making so as to not scare Mara


    more. "Mummy" she kept screaming and wailing yet I couldn''t move to help her, every nerve ending set


    alight as my body tried to rid the effects of the wolfsbane, Laura trying to console her and quieten her


    when the Man leaned down, his red eyes gleaming menacingly back at me, a face that haunts my


    memories and one I should never had seen again.


    "Lovely to meet you again Evelyn my name is Demetri, though you may not think it is lovely to


    meet me when you find out what I have in store for you" he chuckles before I feel another sharp pinch


    in my leg, my eyes darting down to my leg to see a dart in it, my vision bing blurry as all sound


    fades away and everything goes ck.
