"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Asks the Leila with a frightened trembling voice, barely having any courage to look towards me. I smirked with delight of the Leila's fear as I walked around her. Fear is my source of energy and joy. I sighed to compose the delightful emotions stirred within me and crossed my arms. "Have you ever wondered if I kidnapped you from the goodness of my heart? Away from your pestering parents and criticizing friends. You look like you needed help." I grinned.744Please respect copyright.PENANAAnRvzdEsQz
She shook her head, pulled her knees closer and pushed herself against the cold stone wall. "No, my-my parents love me. They love me!"
"Do they really? Why aren't they so often with you? Simply because they are... busy? Busy, sure but of other things that are more important than you, I'm afraid."
She shook her head to my words. "No! You're lying! It's not true!"
I crouched down as I faced her. "I'm afraid that is the truth, dear girl. They only share comforting and loving words to avoid embarrassment and the pain." I faced the ground with a sigh and looked directly into her chocolate brown eyes. "I wish there was another way how to tell you the truth. But truth itself is painful." I paused. "If they truly love you, you wouldn't be here; I would have left you lone."
Leila shook her head. The words hit her hard and I saw clearly on her face that she wants to wake up from this terrible nightmare. Oh, what marvel to see that terror in her eyes, filled with tears of pain and fear.744Please respect copyright.PENANAA87apU13tZ
I stood up and walked over to the table, resting my hands upon it and sighed to compose that great joy that is about to burst. How I've missed playing this sort of game! I bit my tongue hold my laughter back or it would spoil everything.
Suddenly I heard running feet and soon little arms embracing me tightly round my stomach. I gasped surprised of her embrace and that she trusts me so soon. Slowly I turned around to welcome her embrace and placed gently my arms around her. She began to sob quietly and dug her face into my shirt. I knelt down and embraced her. "It's alright. Let those tears flow. You're not alone, Leila." I shushed with a soft voice. It took quite a while until she calmed down. "Do you know what you want to do now?"744Please respect copyright.PENANAbD2vrTDGKt
Leila shook her head. I took a deep breath. "Well, how about making it clear to your parents that you know the truth and your final decision? But it's up to you, I'm happy as long as you are." I grinned and wiped away a rolling tear from her cheek.744Please respect copyright.PENANA9NxpoF6A7b
Leila sniffed. "I'd like to but not right now. I need time."744Please respect copyright.PENANAccMrkM5dwg
"Of course." I nodded.744Please respect copyright.PENANAlIjxWSqwob
Many weeks passed and Leila allowed me to teach her how to fight and to spy. Day by day I see how her will slowly is becoming my will and obeys and trusts easily what I say. Exactly as I planned. She is becoming a worthy fighter and spy without knowing the fake emotions I hold up to her, twisting the truth and words.744Please respect copyright.PENANACQZOe6EbeS
Now Leila and I have decided to make a small visit to her parents, to let them know what has become of their daughter. Now that police is looking in the distance at this point they'll least expect us at Leila's home. We broke in at night into her parent's bedroom. You can't believe the perfect shock clearly written on their faces as they saw Leila and me. I knew I was a perfect stranger to them but not-744Please respect copyright.PENANAmY5D7RtqkT
"Leila!" The mother blinked. "Leila? Is it really you? Baby?" The father was wide-eyed speechless seeing his daughter alive and well. 744Please respect copyright.PENANAvqeKAyDoeV
"Yes, it's me; Mom, Dad." She spoke calmly. "Please don't pretend. Just be yourself. Don't be so shocked like you really missed me all this time. I know the truth."744Please respect copyright.PENANA6qoy8vtEqc
Leila's mother got off from her bed. "What are you saying?"744Please respect copyright.PENANAumdsJYXi8v
"You never wanted me in the beginning and so you all pretended to love me and you were always away from me because of work or some other reason. Mainly to avoid me. You never really loved me!"744Please respect copyright.PENANAgR9YEkTLJW
"No! Baby! That's not true! You know that! Leila, we love you with all our heart and soul. You're our pride and joy of the family!"744Please respect copyright.PENANAjYeq614eyl
Leila turned her back. She is trying to suppress her tears of pain. This moment is too amusing.744Please respect copyright.PENANA017wA7NWil
"We've never given up on you, Leila. Never. We've loved from the moment you were born and- We're more than overjoyed to see you here back safe and healthy." Her father stepped up. Tears welled from his eyes.744Please respect copyright.PENANAOo6cFkEUGT
Leila shook her head. "You don't really mean that. All you tell me are lies and for what!" She turned to face them.744Please respect copyright.PENANAW1gqjeEP6f
Seeing tears of pain flow is a signature that my work has set in perfectly. I kidnap children and teenagers from loving families, change their point of view and ruin the love that was built.744Please respect copyright.PENANA0kHGQBn0ut
