After a few rings, she answered. "What?" There is annoyance in her tone. I bit my lips.

"Mom, help me please... I was kidnapped!" I pleaded. If I'm in front of her, I will grovel in her feet for her to save me.

"Kidnapped?" she chuckled. "Is this one of your pranks, right? Last time, you called because there is a snake in our lawn, and now you are kidnapped? Stop with your nonsense, Alice. Stop this attention grabbing! Where were you? Angeline's birthday is starting!"

"But mom! I'm not crying wolf here! All those these this happened, even this! Mom! Save me! Please!" I cried. I noticed the look of disappointment in their eyes and then it changed to a terrifying and chilling smile.

"If you don't want to come then don't!" Then the call ended. I looked at my phone and my heart stopped for a moment. Why? Why is she like this to me? Is she not worried about me, for my safety? The snake prank she said is Angeline brought a toy snake to our house and I thought it was real!
