My Three Year Old Niece Saved My Life

The whole world should know about this. My three year old niece, Emma, who I love more than anything in this world, saved my life this weekend. I moved into a new flat recently. The landlord is a very sweet older gentleman who owns the whole building. When I signed the lease he told me that the maintenance man for the whole building is his brother, Ian.<br><br>Ian is in his late 40s and is disabled. He was in some kind of work accident when he was young and since then has had very limited mobility. He is a very nice guy though, and has never let his disability get in the way of his life. Three months ago I was out in the back garden and I saw him and his daughter there. His daughter, Betty, is one of the most beautiful little girls I’ve ever seen. The father and daughter duo are very friendly. I’ve become very close to them, especially Ian. He reminds me a lot of my own father who passed away when I was a little girl.<br><br>I’ve taken to calling him my father figure and he even allows me to call him “Daddy”. Do you see where this is going? He has taken a liking to me and I to him. He is the reason I took the flat and I’m glad I did because even if he and I hadn’t gotten romantically involved the way we have, he is still the reason I have a home.<br><br>Last weekend I was on holiday at my sister’s house. I was there with her husband and her daughter, my niece Emma. Ian and Betty were supposed to pick me up Saturday afternoon but they didn’t show up. I called Ian and asked him what was going on and he told me that he and Betty had gone up to his brother’s house. He said that his brother had been acting strange and he was worried Betty was in danger. Of course I hung up the phone right away and called the police. Betty is the niece of my sister’s husband. In other words, she is also Emma’s niece. I know it seems weird, but we are a rather complicated family.<br><br>I told the operator that I was worried about a young girl and the dispatcher sent someone over to my sister’s house right away. They took down the address of Ian’s brother and when the police got there, they found a little girl who wasn’t Betty. Three days later I got a call from Ian and he told me that his brother was in jail and that I had to come see him. I didn’t want to go but he convinced me because he told me that the police were still looking for Betty. When I got there he told me the truth. The girl the police found at his brother’s house WAS Betty.<br><br>Ian said that his brother had fallen in love with him when they were little and ever since has had this strange obsession with him. He told me that he was only pretending to be handicapped as an excuse to spend more time with his brother. Then he told me that his brother had killed his family when they were young and that he had been taking care of his brother ever since. He said that he had been looking for a new girl ever since he ran out of money to buy Betty food. Then he said that he was glad I had called the police because that meant his brother could take care of Betty instead of him.<br><br>When he said all of this I was in shock. I couldn’t believe the man I was falling in love with was a monster. I tried to run away but he caught me. He held me down and told me that he was going to feed me to his pigs, just like he had fed his real brother and his wife to them. I was too scared to struggle. I lied and told him that I was in my period and that my blood was poisonous. He told me that I was a sick bitch and that he was going to kill me anyway.<br><br>Just then Emma walked in. She was holding a kitchen knife and she yelled, “I’M HERE TO SAVE MY AUNT.” Then she stabbed Ian. He fell to the ground, moaning in pain, and he told me to get the knife out of his back. I told him to get the knife out himself and I ran away with Emma. I took her back to my sister’s house and I told her everything. My sister called the police and they found Ian dead in his house. They also found Betty alive at his brother’s house.<br><br>As it turns out, Betty wasn’t Ian’s daughter at all. Betty was the name of his brother’s daughter who went missing when they were young. Ian’s brother had never stopped looking for her so Ian decided to take a random little girl and pretend she was his daughter. He was going to kill her when she turned 18 and then kill himself so that he could be with his brother in heaven. Rest in peace Betty.
