I open my eyes slowly. My head is throbbing, and my heart is pounding. My white T-Shirt was now see through from all my sweat. Thankfully I had an undershirt on or that wouldn't have been good. I look around curiously and tried to recall what had happened. Oh yeah, I was kidnapped and taken from my family by this guy names Aaron J. Black and like hundreds of other men. But why would they want me? I'm just a bad kid who apparently can't even protect herself or her family. I was put out of my thoughts when I realized I was in a car that was driving.
I look out the window to try and make out my surroundings. All around us were tall trees and bushes. The leaves were so thick not even the sunlight could break through. I couldn't tel if it was day or night, although it was pretty dark. I look towards the front of the car and see a few men asleep, and then a familiar man in the drivers seat. Aaron. Ugh, him. What did I ever do to deserve this? I thought about my family and how worried they probably are. I picture them calling the cops and getting everyone they know to look for me and printing out lost posters to put around saying, "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GIRL? Name: Percy Solace. Sex: Female. Age: 13. If you see this girl anywhere, please call ###-###-####." With my mom's phone number on it. Great, just great.
If we're being completely honest, I really miss them. Did Mother ever heal her wound? I'm sure it's the last thing on her mind with her daughter missing. I sigh when a cold voice began to speak. "I see you're awake."
It was Aaron.
"Yeah, I am." I answer, just as cold as him. "What do you want from me? Don't you know this is child kidnap?" I look at the front mirror and see Aaron rolling his eyes. "I do know. Now shut your mouth, we're almost to our destination."
Destination? Where are we going? I need to make an escape plan. Maybe I can get Aaron to stop the car, pretending to be sick then when he lets me out before I throw up, I can run and figure things out from there. It's not really a good plan, but it's all I can think of. Alright, here goes nothing.
I begin to fake cough to get Aaron's attention. He looks at me through the mirror, one eyebrow raised. I pretend to hold my stomach. "Aaron, I don't feel well. My stomach hurts really bad!" I groan.
"You're going to have to suck it up kid. You'll be fine." Aaron said, putting his eyes back in front. I groan again. "I think I'm going to throw up!"
"If I pull over and you do what you need to do, aka throw up, will you shut up for the rest of the way?" I could see Aaron getting irritated. I now and he pulls over. I watch him make his way around to my seat, then opens the door. I step out and he points me over to a nearby tree. "Go puke over there." I walk over there.
Okay, the excuse worked, shockingly. Now I just have to make a run for it. I check my sock and soon realize that my phone was still there, and my knife was shoved in the other. Did one of the men accidentally place it into my sock? Eh, it didn't matter. What did matter is getting out of there. I took a deep breath, then sprinted off. Leaves and branches snapped and crunched under my feet and it wasn't long before I heard Aaron ordering the few men after me. I picked up the pace a little. My legs were soar, and my head throbbed. But I couldn't stop. I couldn't. I have to find my way back home to my family. Before I realized, I had lost the men. I slowed down into a walk, thankful. I don't know how that worked, but it did! But there was just one problem. I was alone, lost in the middle of an unknown location that seemed to be a forest. I tried getting the maps up on my phone, but of course there was no internet. What did I expect?
I continue to walk and my head gets worse. I try to remember my surroundings so I know where I've been, but it was to hard. There was to much. Suddenly, a loud tree branch snapped behind me, making me jump. I turned quickly and screamed.
