His Puppet

Sitting on the floor of my local corner shop with a gun pointed at my head, isn't how I thought my night would be going, but here I am. To try to get an understanding of what the heck I'm talking about, I'm gonna have to take you back to a few hours ago, you know when my life was normal.    A few hours before    "Blake did you drink all the milk?!" I shout looking into my fridge to see an empty carton of milk sat on the shelf, I don't get why people when they're finished with something put it back in the fridge, do they think the thing is just gonna magically appear full again?   "No, I saved a bit at the bottom for you" he explains pointing to the carton of milk in my hand, I look down to see the tiniest bit ever.     "Oh thanks, I can feed my pet mouse now"

I wake up to the sun creeping in through the thin curtains, I look beside me to see Amelia moving around with Anthony fast asleep next to her. I get up walking to the window, I could fully make out the street now this could be our chance. I slip my shoes on picking Amelia up wrapping her in the pink blanket, I take one more look at sleeping Anthony before walking out the bedroom door and down the stairs.    Amelia starts to make some crying noises, right she needs a bottle. I walk to the kitchen to see a bunch of baby stuff on the sides clean bottles everything. With one hand I manage to make her a bottle, the thing that took most of the time was figuring out how to make the bloody thing! I pick the bottle up and was just about to walk out the back door but I hear footsteps walking down the stairs, I probably have a two-second window to leave the house, but I don't know where I am, he'd probably catch me when I get

A few long hours in the car go by, the very silent car might I add, I don't know what to say to this guy who I think just killed somebody, if not seriously hurt him. We turn the corner onto a very posh looking street, we drive for a little while longer passing grand houses, he turns driving up the driveway of a very nice looking house, wait he lives here?!   "Home" he smiles turning the car off looking back at me "this is where our family's gonna be happiest" he smiles getting out the car coming to my door to open it helping me out, just as someone from across the fence starts talking.     "Anthony, it's lovely seeing you again it's been a very long time" a woman says standing on her side of the fence, I unclip Amelia carrying her out the car as Anthony puts his hand on my back.    "Yes I know it's been while,

Around an hour later we were in the car on our way to the shops, Anthony said we can't stay long cause he has to get back to his work soon, so we have a list we have to follow. I didn't mind I just needed to get out so people would see my face and hopefully do something, before we left I wrote on a little piece of paper explaining what's happened hoping I'd be able to give it to someone to help me. Once we arrive at the shop he places Amelia in one of those baby trolley things, taking my hand pulling me to walk closely next to him his hand keeping me there. He hands me the list so both of my hands were doing something, but it was as though he didn't need the list, he was walking down the aisle getting the items in order, did he memorise this before we left or something?     We were basically done with the shopping, as we walk down the final aisle I spot a worker stacking a shelve which I knew was my last chance to get help, I place my hand on Amelia

I lay on the bed with Amelia just staring at her, maybe this is gonna be our lives now just stuck with this man. I really thought this would be over when she told me she knew, but Anthony always finds a way to to foil all my plans, the door opens causing me to jump and move away from Anthony who walks in with fresh clothes, he looked like he just showered.    "Tammy's left, I had her see sense" he starts closing the door behind him walking towards the bed, he gently picks Amelia up placing her into her coat.    Is he gonna do to me whatever he's done to Tammy? I quickly get up from the bed darting to the other side of the room, I run to the door managing to open it slightly but it's soon slammed closed. Anthony proceeds to trap me against the wall and him, I look up at him terrified while he wore the same smile on his face.
