The Girl who was Kidnapped

“Meanwhile the days went on when 13 year old Melissa Hog warts was out playing on a grassy field with her caterpillars.  She was  just enjoying playing with her caterpillar in the beautiful flowing breeze , Until a stranger crept up behind the forest trees watching her. However Melissa really loved playing with her little friends so she never noticed the approaching danger.

Melissa’s mum Sarah called out to her for dinner,  Melissa put her caterpillars in a safe place  and walked back home. Suddenly a Furious car raced by, Melissa looked back with a serious look as the car was headed her way. She was  so frightened she ran  as fast as she could, but the car was just too fast. The stranger kidnapped Melissa and tied her up and left her on the back seat of the car.       

After he arrived at his house he pulled her out of the car. She was trying to escape and screaming but the stranger covered her mouth. Melissa’s mum Sarah was waiting for her, it was getting dark, she went out to where Melissa usually played and called her name but no one replied,

Sarah was so scared, she went back to the house and tried to ring        phone to see if she had it or not. As Sarah was trying to reach Melissa’s phone, it rang in the forest with no one to hear it.  It seemed that when Melissa was kidnapped she dropped her phone.

Sarah was stressed,  she rang the police, the police were trying to  calm Sarah down and have her give information on the last time she saw her daughter and what she said to her and what she was wearing. The next day the police came, they were asking questions to see if Melissa had just run away.  They put up some photos of Melissa around town.

Three days later, as the man forced Melissa to clean his car he had a phone call, Melissa saw that the kidnapper was having a conversation on his phone so she quietly grabbed a vacuum part and whacked the stranger over the head.

Melissa ran and tried to escape in the car, but the doors were locked so she jumped over the fence to the next door neighbours. She was so terrified as she ran and knocked on the neighbour's door.  Finally it opened and the kindly old lady let her inside.  She was so frightened as she was telling the story about what had happened, but the neighbour phoned the police right away.

The police arrested the kidnapper after returning Melissa back home safe and sound, the man was sentenced to prison for 3 years and 4 months and he never bothered Melissa again.
