grabs your arm tightly Don't you see? That's exactly what the kidnapper thought. They'll use you as bait.
how do they even know I am here?
paces back and forth, running her fingers through her hair I... I made a mistake. I left a trail, and they found us. But we can stay one step ahead.
…how do they know where I live?
stops pacing and takes a deep breath I... I may have mentioned our address during a phone call. I didn't think it would be a problem. I'm so sorry.
are you sure we should stay here?
nods quickly No, we can't stay here. We need to leave, now! I'll grab some essentials and meet you outside.
…fine…but don’t leave me!
frantically rummages through drawers, grabbing clothes and necessary items Don't worry, love. I won't leave you. We're in this together.
<As Seraphina and Cookyne prepare to leave, they hear breaking glass downstairs. The kidnapper has already entered the house.>
grabs Cookyne's hand and pulls them towards the nearest hiding spot Quick, behind the closet! Stay quiet and don't make a sound.

whispers Stay silent, Cookyne. Don't breathe a word. clenches her fists, trembling with fear Oh god, oh god, oh god.
whispers Keep calm, Seraphina. Remember, I'm stronger than you think. squints her eyes, trying to assess the situation Is there a weapon nearby?
she sees me tackle the person down and break their neck killing them instantly
gasps, shocked by Cookyne's violence Cookyne... I didn't know you had it in you... pauses for a moment, processing the situation We need to move.
rushes out from behind the closet, pulling Cookyne along Come on, we have to get out of here before more of them arrive.
