~Slight Tw, Kidnapping~

"Oh my GOSH, mommy!" the little girl yells, "Look at the pretty pink dollhouse!"

"Mhm, I see it darling."

"Can I have it? Can I?" 

"Not today, mommy can only spend so much money today. Sorry dear."

"Humph" she pouts, crossing her arms and stomping her feet.

"C'mon we have shopping to do, I'll buy you an apple."

"Ooh okay!"

The man in the cap emerges from the alleyway, hearing their entire conversation. 

He walks into the shop with the dollhouse and disappears behind the shelves.

The mother keeps walking, rushing her daughter along. 

She thinks to herself, "I've got to get Dottie away and soon. He's already seen her, he can't take her. It's been too long."

"Hey, Dottie?" She asks the girl.

"Yes, Mommy?" 

"Will you do Mommy a favor and run down to the café to get Mommy a water? She's very thirsty" she asks, handing her a few dollars. 

"Sure, Mommy. I'll be right back"

"Alright, take your time." She says, spotting the man heading their way.

Dottie runs off, going to get her mommy a water. 

The man finally walks up to her. 

"Evening, Julia." the man says, smirking.

"No, Aze."

"Give me Alia." 

"Dottie." She corrects him.

"Her name is Alia. Its on the birth certificate."

"Not anymore."

"She doesn't even know who you are anymore, give up Aze." She says, slightly aggravated. 

"That doesn't make what you did those four years ago on April 9th right, Julia."

"Yes it does. She's mine now." Julia says, sounding crazed.

The girl comes running back, handing her mother the water. 

"Thank you, dear." she says, pulling her behind her.

"..Mommy, who's that."

"Just someone Mommy knows." She reassures her. 

"Oh.." She says quietly, "Well, hi sir." She says, bounding up to him.

"Hello, Alia." He says, smiling.

"My name's Dottie, sir. Not Alia." 

"Not for long" He says, creepily. 

"Huh?" She says, confused. 

Before she can realize, he has picked her up. 

"P-put me DOWNNNN" She squeals.

He takes off, running down the street. Within seconds, they are both out of sight.

"Oh well" Julia says, "I guess I can try again." 

Later that evening, a message pops up across all news alerts. 

"Missing child, Alia Turyna has been found after four years."
