The car ride was silent I look over to my left to see him sleeping. My dad gave him so kind of drug so he would sleep through the night. He had light brown hair it was short I never got to look at his eyes, I felt no connection towards him maybe I just needed time. We were heading back home or a place a called home our home was a camper trailer we didn’t have a real house simply because we were on the run.

When I turn ten my parents told me it was time for me to my husband that we had to go and find my soul mate. My dad was around eleven when he first met my mom his parents took him to find the right girl he like. My mom explain to me this was something that has been going on in our family for years and when I have kids, I will continue the tradition.


That my family believes this is the only way to meet your soul mate or as in one true love. I never said anything to them but I always thought it was wrong but I just went along with it. I go out looking for someone who I like it could be anywhere sitting in a parking lot looking out until I seen the right guy, we follow them until we see their house and wait until night time.


Hours have past the sun was slowly coming up I look over at my left again to see him waking up. My heart started to race I was fearing he would start screaming or something to make a scene. He slowly lifted his head from the car window and look around I could see the fear in his blue eyes, he turn to me.

“Don’t be afraid, “I whisper hoping he wouldn’t scream.

“Where am I, “He ask with fear in his voice.

“Your with us now, you belong to us now, “I replied. I hated saying that but it was true he belong to us now.

“No I don’t. I don’t belong here, please let me go, “He said with tears in his eyes.

“It’s going to be alright we won’t hurt you I can promise you that, “I said.

Just then my mom turn to look at us, she gave him a sweet smile.

“Don’t worry honey everything okay, you’re with us, “She said with a sweet warming smile.

I turn to look at him I could still see the fear in his eyes I just wanted him to feel safe, we would never hurt him we never hurt anyone besides his parents.

“What’s your name, “I ask trying to make him feeling better.

“Chris, were are we going, “He ask while looking at me.

“I’m Frank, and we’re going home, “I replied.

The car went silent once again Chris wouldn’t take his eyes off from the window as if he would take the chance to escape, I had no feelings towards him I couldn’t see myself with him. I wonder what my parents would say if I told them how I felt. Before I knew it we arrived at our camper we all got out, Chris kind stuck with me I guess he felt somewhat safe.

“We’re home, “I said.

“I don’t belong here, you don’t understand I have health problems when I get nerves or really beyond scared I have seizures, “He replied.

My mind ran blank this was not good at all I was afraid if I told my parents this then something would happen to him, I had no other choice though I had to say something.

“I don’t won’t him, “I said not knowing what to say.

“What, “My parents said together.

“He just told me he has seizure problems he can’t be here; we have to take him back or something. Don’t be angry, “ I replied hoping they wouldn’t be angry.

“Honey don’t worry we’re not angry you didn’t know, but I’m afraid we can’t send him, “My dad said.

Before I could say anything else, I hear thump hit the ground I saw Chris having a seizure I felt helpless but there was nothing I could do.

“What do we do sweetie, “My mom ask my dad.

“We can kill him, “He replied while looking at Chris.

“His only a child there must be another way, please. “ Mom pleaded.

“ Fine I won’t kill him but I have to give him something to erase his memory so he will forget about all about this, then we’ll just drop him off somewhere. “ Dad replied.

Part of me was beyond happy that we are setting him free but I felt bad at the same time for bring him into this. Maybe next time will be the right guy.
