"Ever since you were a baby, whenever you'd get cold... " she pauses.

"I turn into Shakira," I abruptly say.

"Yeah well we knew you knew but we just need to tell you that don't let it get in the way of you having fun. We're gonna help you through this, I promise."

Having my dad tell me this made me feel a lot safer and they're right, I shouldn't let this get in my way of seeing the world. I just need to keep warm and I'll be good.

Saturday

I woke up for breakfast this morning and no one was home, which is odd. My parents didn't leave a note or anything, I'm gonna call them. I'll call mom first.

Neither of them answered and I'm getting worried. I hear somebody coming into the door and slowly come up the stairs. I hide behind my bed, knowing that they'll easily find me. They enter my room and come behind my bed, I'm fully visible.

"Who are you, where are my parents?! " I ask.

"Pam Latoya Akirash, correct?" the man asked.

"Yes, now what are you doing in my home?! " I scream at them.

"We're from the FBI, you're gonna have to come with us."
