Emily Frost grew up in the richest area in Boston. Her father, Theodore Frost, is the owner of Quantum Global, a multi million dollar cell phone company. When her father divorced her fifth stepmother, she thought that her life had changed for the better. Her best friend came back early from a backpacking trip across Europe, she started to make an Alice in Wonderland video game to enter into a competition, and started to make a few new friends. She was wrong. When Meredith breaks into her house one afternoon, Emily's life changes. When I got to the foot of the stairs, I froze. Meredith was sitting at the kitchen table. I did not know why she was there. I did not have my phone on me, so I could not text my father. “Took you long enough to get down here, brat. I have been calling your name for a while. It was not until that dungy dog started barking that you heard me,” she snarled. She did not look like she was sitting there for long, but I was so caught up in reading that I was not sure. “What are you doing here?” I did not want to step into the kitchen because I did not want to be near her, “I thought my father told you to never come back.” “Oh he did. I am not here for him though. I am here for you.” She got up and started walking towards me. “Me?” I started to back away. I had read stories where kids have been kidnapped by angry ex-step parents. Aladdin started to bark at Meredith. “Yes, your father took something I loved every much away from me. Now I am going to take something he loves away from him in exchange for something I want.” I laughed, “you wish. I can take you. Come at me bitch!” I saw something move out of the corner of my eye and then everything went dark.
