Today was a rainy day, and after finishing our schoolwork; playing in the rain sounded fun. My brother wanted to stay inside, so I would just go by myself. Stepping outside I enjoyed the gentle drops of water on my face and the smell brought with it. Through the darkened trees I could see the heavy blue sky. I have enjoyed the rain since I was young. Memories of my old home flooded my mind. It has been four months since the hunters. It was about time I planned on checking it out.
I grabbed a sleeping bag, some cans of soup, a knife and a lighter. The stuff got packed into my backpack and I headed into the woods. As the trees passed I thought of my mother. I thought of her musical laugh, her long brunette hair and her soulful brown eyes. I thought of the old song she used to sing as she cooked. The way she used to talk about dad, how they used to dance outside our cot in the rain. And how I would join them. Those were some of my favorite memories. I hope any left memories my brother has won't be forgotten. I grit my teeth at the thought and continued. Eventually, I found the place.
I looked around and walked into my old home. I saw that anything we left behind, like perhaps a table, it was destroyed. the house was in even rougher shape than before. It was late, so I found my old room and slept on the floor. I wouldn't find much of anything if I tried now, plus I was too tired. It didn't take long to pass out.
"Hey, get over here!" A loud man's voice startled me awake. I realized he had me pinned. "I think we got another one here!"
Oh no, I thought. These were hunters, exactly what I was trying to avoid. "What are you doing? Get off me!" I yelled.
"We got a feisty one!" He said to the guy in the doorway.
"She speaks well. We have to be sure she is one." He replied. The first guy nodded.
They taped my wrists together and pulled me to my feet. The second guy blindfolded me and one of them guided me to the bed of a vehicle. I tried not to cry, but I was scared. I don't know what they do with us. Nobody did. We just always knew they don't come back. I made myself a promise then and there that I would stay in my human form as long as possible. Maybe I could get them to believe I am a normal human girl? Either way, I need to get away. I knew I was scared of the vehicle, but my heart dropped even more when the engine stopped.
