Like every other day, she lay still in her bed. She could hear the footsteps down below. Her mom was awake and always on time. The world outside was beautiful, the morning sun peeping through the horizon, it's golden arrows piercing through the cold and dreary darkness,reaveling the landscape. She knew how it all looked like cause she spent most of her time gazing at it as if gazing into an abis that was never there.
She heard more clutter downstairs ,
That can't be good. She thought to herself to what she might not have done. Then it hit her, what she had missed. She jumped out of bed landing with the grace of a swan and lightly as a feather ,made her bed, slipped into her slippers and ran down the stairs.
I can make it,all i need to do is.....Oh shit ."Morning mother" she said lowly looking at her feet, eyes closed and hands behind her back."What is the meaning of this?" No response.Thats bad." What do you mean? she tried again,a lot quieter than before." What do I mean! What do I mean! Where's my morning latte?" She sighed and raised her head." I forgot to make it "her courage suddenly leaving her she looked back down. Here it comes. " You forgot! How can you forget my latte. Is that the same way you forget to breath?" Her mother shouted, enraged by the answer." It was a mistake it won't happen again."she apologized sweetly." Always with the apologises . Just start doing things properly,... like a good daughter for once."her mother suggested sourly. " Yes, mother "she replied obediently." Yes mother what?"the lady asked."I'll try to be a good daughter."she replied." Good. My latte.NOW!" She bowed and went to the kitchen. She sighed as she looked at the wall clock. 3.16 the clock read.
School wasn't the best place to be but to her it was better than home. She didn't have any friend so she spent her time at the library. She still couldn't get over her best buds kidnapping. He was two years older with deep green eyes,jet black hair and a great sense of humor. He was taken away four years ago, and he wasn't the only one. There many cases of kidnapping right around that time too, all over the world. But police never found them including him. Lonely she was and dark she grew. The only joy she ever had was snatched away from her pretty little hands.
Her journey back home was quite, just the way she liked it but today she could sense something was off. She just shrugged it and walked home quicker.
"Suprise!" Shouted her little sisters as she stepped on the front porch. She smiled down at them. They remembered." Happy birthday." They choired. Well her birthday was in two days but they always got her a present earlier considering her parents hated her birthday. It always reminded them how different she was from them. You'd expect the girls to be just as bad as them but they were practically never there to raise them, she did and did it perfectly. "Thanks guys. I'm surprised you remembered." She said sweetly." You always think that we'll forget cause you do but we're your family we'll never forget." Maddy responded. She was a year younger than her but just as mature." Even though they hate it." Retorted Annah , the youngest, referring to their parents. They walked towards the house but she still couldn't shake off that odd feeling that she was being watched. She looked behind her but didn't see anyone. She shrugged.
They had made her a present,a bracelet. They all wore one to always remind each other that they'll always be there for each other.
They heard a knock on the door, so Annah went to open it." Who is it Annah?" She asked from the kitchen. No answer." Annah? Annah?" Her voice was trembling, she was worried. She walked out to the living room where she found her sisters duck taped by two heavily built men. "Annah, Maddy?... Who..who are you and what do you want?she inquired fearfully." You!" One of the men said, his voice hoarse, towering next to Annah. She took a step back from the shock. I didn't see that coming. She thought as her mind raced on what to do. Her eyes met Maddy's,her and Annah's mouths duck taped, hands and feet tied, sitting on the floor. She looked at her new bracelet. She took a deep breath and sighed." Fine. But you let them free." She commanded. The two wiggled and groaned in protest. One of the men walked towards her and she looked down in defeat. The door suddenly burst open and in walked their parents. They're early. Wait.." You're early!" She exclaimed joyfully. They looked around." What the hell is going on here!... Devon,what did you do?" Her father shouted angrily. " I didn't do anything "she shouted back. " Then ...."her mother started before she fell followed by their father.
Another man stood next to their unconscious bodies holding a metal rod ." Noooo.." she shouted before she too was captured. They dragged them out the door. She tried protesting, trying to get free but she was over powered. Her screams for help fell on deaf ears. She dragged into a black car, gagged, hands and feet tied and head covered with a black sack like cloth impairing her sight .
