How people reported that she might have been kidnapped. Little did they know he had run away. He had broken off the engagement with his fiance and mother of his child. She hadnâ€™t wanted their daughter anyways. Finicky older woman. He could not take anymore of her abuse. Her torture. Her verbal and mental degradation. It was too much and he had come to realize he didn't want to raise his daughter in such a situation. He had broken it off with his ex-fiance. Publicly in order to prevent her trying to beat the shit out of him. Damn his whole not raising a hand to hit a woman. Packing a bag of clothes for him and put clothes in his daughter's diaper bag. Loading it with diapers, formula, bottles, and her rattle toy. Leaving the house while his ex-fiance was on a photoshoot. Only stopping to grab a sweatshirt and his daughters heavy jacket.<br/><br/>That was seven hours earlier. He had only stopped twice to go to the bathroom and change his daughters diaper. He stopped at a light and stroked his daughters head. "It'll be okay sweetie. Daddy's going to get us someplace safe." Someplace safe and where nobody would care who he was or ask questions. He was afraid to go back. Afraid of what his ex-fiance would do if she found him. What was most important was his baby's safety. He tucked his daughter in more before driving again. Roads were deserted and it was beginning to snow. The snow coming down in a thin layer at the moment. He took a right turn that would lead him into the mountains. Within minutes the radio said the blizzard was nearing where they were. Not even a couple minutes later it began snowing heavier and heavier. He could almost feel the nippy wind as it overpowered the heat in his car.<br/><br/>Six miles into the mountains it began snowing heavier and heavier still. The car was beginning to make funny sounds. He bit his lip. "Come on car...keep working." As he spoke the snow had gotten to the point it was near impossible to see through it. The car making further noises indicating that it was having trouble continuing on. The wind outside picking up so much he could hear the howling wind that was outside his car. Another mile and the car suddenly stalled. It refused to move any further. It even shut itself off. He tried for three minutes to get it working. "Come on... Come on..." He bit his lip nervously. This was not good. Leaving the keys to the old car in the ignition he unbuckled. Undoing his daughter's car seat buckles and reached onto the front seat. Grabbing his daughters jacket. Leaning over the back seat and picked up his daughter carefully. Slipping his into the jacket and zipped it up. "Its okay baby...we're gonna have to try to make it to a house."<br/><br/>He pulled the hood up and tied it into place. Taking off his sweatshirt and bundled his baby in it. Taking his jacket and laid his daughter in it as well. Wrapping her in a tight cocoon but allowing her room to breath. Throwing the bag over his shoulder he picked up his baby. Facing his bundled child towards his chest. Reaching around with one arm as he balanced his baby, and opened the door to the car. Having to push with his feet and his hand to get it open. Stepping out into the snow. It was almost up to his chest being he was only five feet three inches tall. Though he still had another growth spurt to hit. He made sure that Niya was not even dangling near the snow by her feet. Carrying his precious child as he began trudging through the snow. It made him shiver in his sweatpants. His top half covered only by a thin tee shirt.<br/><br/>His face getting nipped at by the icy winds. He could see his breath but not for long. The snow feel harder as the blizzard was on top of them. All he could do now was hope to see a light to indicate there was a house there. Snow beginning to cover his hair and shoulders. Still he sheltered his daughter from the weather. For two hours he walked aimlessly while hopefully looking for a light in the blanket of snow coming from the sky. He was tiring and turning blue he was so cold. "Just a little farther baby. Just a little farther." He said when his baby began wailing about it being cold. As he walked he shook from the cold. Teeth chattering as even his lips were turning blue. "Just...a little...further..." He chattered out. When all was beginning to seem dim he saw yellow against the blanket of snow.<br/><br/>He pressed on towards it. The wind biting at him harder. His hair covered in a layer of snow. It felt like forever before he reached the front of the house. He was quivering hard and holder his daughter even closer. "P...p....pl...ple...pleas...please l...let...s...s...so...some....someone b...be....h...here." He chattered out. He held his daughter close. His back to the wind as he bent a bit to shield his baby with his body and the doorframe. He rang the doorbell. Over and over again. His hand shaking so hard each time took several times. His eyes were beginning to grow heavy. The toll of the walking through snow up to his lower chest, walking through a blizzard in naught but a tee shirt, and protecting his baby from the cold were beginning to weigh heavily on him. He leaned a bit on the doorframe.
