Jude's POV:
I'm Jude Kinkade, the only child of Oscar Kinkade, a famous businessman. My dad is a typical man, who is very caring to his wife and his son. About my mom, she passed away when I was just born. It was retold by my aunt and even though I never met my mom, I have to say that she is one of the best mothers in the world. Returning to my story, I was a good student with flying colors, and my dad is so proud of me. My dad has a big company in LA and he wants to me to obtain his position after he retired. I talk to my dad that I want to become lawyer. My uncle, Johnson, is always jealous of my dad only because of my grandfather's decision. So, he wanted to kill me, and he would make my dad broken and then, he would take the company from my dad's hands. How greedy he is!
Flashback(11 years ago):
One day, about 11 years ago, it had become one of the most unforgettable in my life. He came to my house and he invited my dad and I to travel to Rockies for summer holiday. Previous night, he called to my dad: " Oscar, my lovely bro. I want to invite you and my nephew to go hiking in Rockies. Do you want to join?"
"Yes, my big bro. You are my only person I can believe", my dad responded. My dad came across my bedroom and he called me "Jude, do you wake up? I have an important thing to talk with you, honey. Your uncle want us to have a journey in Rockies, do you like it?". I smiled broadly when I just heard about the trip because my dad promised that he would gave me a surprise for my good results. And I immediately answered" Of course, daddy. I always wanted to come there. How amazing it is!". He smiled and said: 'Ok my puppy, sleep well and wake up at 6 am tomorrow, yeah?
Good night, Juddie". I can't help but feel funny when he called my nickname. He kissed me on my forehead and he came back his room. I was too excited, but I said myself that I need to sleep early.
"Wake up, Jude or you will lose your chance to visit", my dad called me and tickled my cheeks. I heard that and got out of my bed. I came to bathroom and did morning hygiene. After that, my dad cooked pancakes for me and him, while I packed my clothes. After eating pancakes, my dad and I was sitting on the sofa. My uncle came to my house at 7 am to pick up us. And START THE TRIP RIGHT NOW!
We drove to Rockies and we chatted lots of stuffs, from my study results to attractions, foods,...in our destination. When we came, we started finding out somewhere to build a tent near the lake. We took a tent, then my dad went to the forest to find woods, while my uncle went around to buy stuffs.
I was alone by the lake when a boy approached me and greeted me. He has blonde hair with brown eyes and wide smile. We talked a while when a girl, I guess she is his sister because of their resemblance. He said good bye and he disappeared. He is so cute boy! OMG! I forgot to ask his name. Regret it!
After about an hour later, my dad and my uncle came back with lots of stuff. We started cooking and we had a meal. In the afternoon, we went on hiking and climbing, it's so funny and full of laughter. It was normal until when did I go to the forests. I wanted to ask my dad, but he was asleep, so I couldn't wake him up. My Uncle said that I could go anywhere, he would talk to my dad later. He even promised that he would pick me up before 4 pm. I only wanted to wander around the woods because of my curiosity(it's normal for a 7-year-old boy). I was looking around when I saw a ball near the bushes. I came closer and closer, and took the ball on my hands. While scrutinizing the ball, I felt something strange behind my back. My guts said that I need to run AFAP, but I chose not to hear it. After a while, I was gagged by a napkin which has a disgusting and nauseous smell. I felt dizzy and everything around became black.
I couldn't remember anything, I only knew that when I woke up, I was on a car, my hands and legs tied by ropes. I looked into the window, but the surrounding is very strange. I felt something bad. I saw a man driving the car. "Hey, bastard. What are you doing to me?", I yelled. His eyes was very dangerous and piercing through the rear view mirror, it made me startle and get goosebumps. I called out my dad and my uncle, but it was only waste of energy.
After a while, the man finally said "You can't do anything, boy. If you don't shut up your mouth now, I will kill you". His threat made me more scared and trembling. After 2 hours, I guess, we came to the destination. It was a small building in the remote area, surrounded by bushes and pines. He called out a person called James:
"James, help me to take this boy to the room upstairs". The man James answered: "Boss, we have taken another boy and a girl in this room. Is it possible?". "It's ok, don't worry, man", this man said.
After that, James took me to the room. I was so surprised when I looked 2 familiar faces. I tried to remember, "Oh, It's 2 kids I saw by the lake yesterday. Why are they here now", I told myself. When I came closer, I saw 2 kids sleeping calmly on the bed. I didn't want to bother them, so I slept on the sofa.
It was 6 pm when I woke up. I heard someone call me. I opened my eyes and saw this boy standing by the sofa. He smiled broadly and said: "Hey, buddy. What's your name? Why are you here?".
"Jude, and you?"
"I'm Gideon, it's Laura, my sister. We were taken by a strange man, and we were taken here. What about you?"
"I do too", I responded. After that, I saw a woman open the door and took 3 boxes on her hand. She said with cold tone "It's your dinner, kid. Eat quickly and sleep early. Don't dare to escape". Then, she left the room. We opened the boxes, it is lasagna, my favorite food. We started eating and chatted. Gideon said that he is an orphan because his parents were dead in an accident. And I also told my own story. They are very funny and friendly. After chatting, it was 9pm, so we slept on the bed. We don't know what will happen tomorrow.
