The white van arrived just in front of us. Sophia and I thought that may be in their way, so we tried to go to the other side of the van. We just started to move when 5-6 people in black clothing came out of the wagon.
A bad feeling washed over me in full force.
I at once understood what was happening.
THE DREAM!!!
I think I even made a record of how many curses in a short time a person can speak. I may have uttered a thousand and one curses in just 10 seconds in my mind.
And I think my mind went a little blank for a moment rendering me unable to realize anything at the moment.
I think I said two words continuously as if chanting them. And those words were "Oh Shit?!"
The thing in the dream was accurate that I know some martial arts skills. But after my mother showed her disappointment, I had left it.
Now, after a long time, I think I was regretting not learning further. Whatever martial arts I had learned was not utterly useful against them. Knowing Sophia, she was internally strong but externally moderate. She lacked self-defense lessons. So she was effortlessly knocked out. When they lifted her unconscious body and carrying her somewhere, I thought she was the target and was caught. I hurried towards her as fast as I could while knocking away the men around me. But I saw that they were carrying her away from the van.
That alarmed me.
I at once understood that they were not taking her anywhere, nor was Emma in any harm's way. Five of them were surrounding me even though they had Sophia.
That could only mean one thing. These people were never here for her but someone else. And the other person they were approaching was not Sophia nor Emma. If we observe they were after... me? When they saw that I switched from defense to an offense stance for getting Sophia back, they took their chance. At once, details of the dream of the moment before the kidnapping came to my mind. But I couldn't remember anything else. They were easily dodging some of my moves as if already knowing that I know martial arts.
Thanks to the few vehicles that were parked behind me, I tried to change my path. They did not expect me to retreat that way. And me being slimmer than needed was helpful this time unknowingly. I was conveniently able to squeeze through and change my path. But they tried their best to get a hold of me. Before I could get into their hands, I fled from the scene and glanced at Emma on the other side.
Without any need to speak out to her, she understood what to do. She sneaked towards Sophia while also trying to call the police. I think she accomplished that as she gave me a thumbs up and tried to rescue Sophia without them noticing. They underestimated me. Or should I say underrated 'us'? Excluding, that one was lying unconscious on the side of the street.
They were quickly catching up to me thanks to being taller than me by one foot. My light-weightedness was an enormous disadvantage cause it makes me unable to run with my full strength. I always feel a little floating feel when running. I was just a bit away from the apartment gates when I felt someone shouting out my name, and at the same time, someone slammed into me from behind. The Fucker who slammed into me was heavy enough to knock all the air out of my body. (I think I may even puke out the food I ate just an hour ago.)
I lost all my strength to move. But I still had some energy to scream. Just as those people picked my half-limp body towards the van, I shouted my brother's name with all the power I could muster and started to fight back as much as I could handle. My window being on the outside and my loud voice was an advantage here. But seeing how loud I screamed, I had a slight feeling of pity for those kidnapper's ears. Any louder and, they could have burst or even snapped out. But I washed that feeling away quickly.
After regaining some strength, I tried to struggle as much as I could to not enter the van and stall for time. I think they would have never thought that I would be such a nuisance just for the kidnapping. Well, news flash, I can even be a devil and make your life a living hell if you even try to stay with me for more than a minute by now. I saw my brother inspecting from the window for me, and I think he even saw me struggling against them.
But before I could stall for time for my brother, they already trapped me to get inside their van. They quickly fled away from the spot. I could hear a mild shout from my friend Emma and even saw my brother just getting out of the building. I had started screaming all the profanities I could summon from my mind at them. Before I could tear their heads off, I felt the pain coming from my hands which they were trying to restrain. Then there was a stinging pain coming from the back of my neck area. Some son of the bitch just pricked me with a needle! LIKE SERIOUSLY, AN INJECTION?!
I think that injection was a strong dose. I was feeling as if I was losing the sensation of my body. I felt as if I was being paralyzed and then lulled to sleep. The last thing I remember is feeling myself being shifted somewhere in the van itself.
When I started gaining my consciousness back, I could feel a killing headache as if someone was hammering from inside my head. The first thing to be noticed was the room I was in currently. It had lavender-shaded walls with beautiful art in the shades of orange and yellow. But... IT IS NOT MY ROOM!
That time my mind went blank, and only a few sentences were going on in my head. "For F*CK's Sake, The only thing remaining now was to get myself fucked up in this mess."
"God, Can't You Spare My Brain Just Some Moments Of PEACE!!!!"
