Adopting Abigail

Chapter 20

"Wake up!" I hear the man shout as he kicks me in the gut.

I grab my stomach and I sit up. He places something around my head and covers my eyes.

"What are you doing?" I asked worried.

"Covering your eyes so you can't see me. Now stand up." He demands.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"We're going for a walk, and you didn't say sir!" He says slapping me.

"Sorry sir." I cry out.

He starts pushing me and dragging me along with him. I hear a door open and shut. And a repeat of a door open and shut.

"These are stairs." He warns me.

I walk up the steps with him and he leads me to a chair.

"Sit." He demanded.

I sit down and I feel something go around me.

"What are you doing sir?" I asked scared.

"I'm tying you. Now, your going to let me do what I want to you. Got it?" He asked.

"Please... Don't..." I cry.

He slips my shirt off and I begin to let tears fall down my cheeks.

"Tell me about yourself Carrie. How many kids do you have?" He asked.

"Two.... Two kids." I responded.

"How old are they?" He questioned me.

"Oldest is 14... And my youngest is almost 1." I reply to him.

"Ahh... I bet you miss them. Huh?" The man asked.

"Very much...." I say.

"I'm going to cut your hair." He says.

I start to wonder why he wants to cut my hair. That's strange.

"I want you to look like my wife Carrie." He says.

"What? Why?" I asked concerned.

"She's dead Carrie. But your alive. So now so is she. Your new name is Bethany. You will respond. Understand?!" He demands loudly.

"Your sick!!!!" I yell.

"Do you understand?!" He yells again and slaps me.

"Yes sir." I say crying.

"Now... Let's try this again. What's your name?" He asked cutting a piece of my hair.

"Bethany..." I cry.

"Good girl. That's what I thought." He said cutting some more.

"How short are you cutting it?" I asked crying harder.

"To your shoulders. Like my wife should have it." He said smiling.
