"seline, your going to miss your bus!"
my mother shouted at me from the kitchen. i grabbed my things and forced a ring onto my finger. i hurryed to the kitchen to collect my piece of toast and kiss my mother goodbye.
"bye mother! take care"
I shouted out from the door, stuffing a piece of toast into my mouth. i jogged over to the bus stop, to watch the bus drive away right before my eyes. i stared at the bus in disbelief. i sighed and decided it was best to walk.
"great, fresh start to my wonderful day" i mutter to myself, walking past a bunch of kids pointing and laughing at the fact i missed my own bus. angrily i finish of my piece of toast and walk down the hill. i sulk miserably as i trudge across the street, and start walking uphill.
I hear a car pulling up near me. i turn around and look at a mini white van. 2 guys hop out of the car and start rummaging around for some things. I stop and stare for a moment just to satisfy my curiosity. until full panic kicks in once they start running for me.
im frozen, i cant move, i want to scream, i cant. nothings working, my senses aren’t coordinating with my heart, i stop breathing. this is what a nightmare feels like. i cant move, or run. i try to pull my legs, force them into a running motion, but the thoughts of not making it out get the best of me. im stuck staring at these 2 men, running right at me.
until finally, something clicks, a short tingle shoots through my legs, as if i just got electrocuted . i turn around and start sprinting, as hard and fast as i could. sweat starting to form on my forehead, my breaths starting shortening. my heart was beating quickly, and my mouth was becoming dry from the air.
I don't understand, it all happened so quick. i gain enough currage to turn around, and look down the hill. i need to see whats happening. i look around to see that they have stopped chasing me, so i let out a breath i didnt know i was holding. i place my hands on my knees, and gasp for air. the wind scartches my throut, my mouth aching for some type of liquid. until that same white van those made me run for life, comes into my vision. i start running again but slower, i cant take this, i can run anymore. my legs are begging for a break, im going to fall anytime soon. i need to stop, i need air, my vision goes blurry as tears wizz down my face. more fear overtakes my body as i realise there going to gain onto me no matter how fast i run. i start sobbing, screaming for help. my voice breaks every step i take. no-one hears me. i look around franticly, and try again.
“HELP ME..PLEASE!! PLEASE!” i beg, i stare into the sky, hoping god will forgive me, take in all my sins, all i have done wrong and forgive me, help me. i cant rely on anyone else, i continue screaming, but the overpowering sound of the van blocked it. i cant even hear myself scream anymore, as i push myself further.
I look for possible places to duck into or even hide in. i turn my heard slightly, and loose balance. great, i'm falling now. what a horror movie moment i think to myself as i scramble to get back up. to guys run over as I'm getting up, one pounces onto my back. the weight of them forces me back onto the ground, all my air slipping out of my body.
I gasp for air and try my best to pry myself out from underneath him, until a sharp object is stabbed into my arm. my body freezes, i cant move it. my vision goes all patchy, the heavy weight is lifted of my back, but i cant move, my breathing slows, and i cant try anymore. i just lay there and accept my future, the trauma. im still awake, but knowing and wishing to just faint. i needed a break, and now i’m getting one. i continue gasping for air as i get picked up. i start trying harder and harder to breath, my lungs are closing in, my heart pounds faster in my head, ringing in my ears. my ears still work, so i can hear things around me. the sound of a van door opening surrounds me, until i get thrown into the air. i try to grab onto somthing, but remember i cant move. the loud bang of me landing shakes the van, and the door closes.
the side door shuts, and the van starts to rumble. eventualy, it starts up and now i can only feel the vibration of the floor, then we start to move. i look around franticly, tears still blurring my vision. the force pushes me to slide against the back of the van, and i smack my head. more tears run down my face as the pain rushes throughout my body. i can feel pain now..im getting my body back. if its quick enough, i can get out of this mess, and escape before things get to bad.
I stare at the ground once so,thing wet touches my arm, im shocked to see blood slowly dripping down my arm. my head must have cracked open when i hit my head on the back of the van. i try to look around me as much as i can, but my head doesnt move. i can only get a short vision of whats around me. all of a sudden im jolted forward, as the van comes to a stop. the breaks screech. i realize that we must be at the destination, and panic sets over me again. i cant feel my body, there is no way i can escape. a loud bang breaks the silence, and we start driving again. were not there yet, i take a sigh in relief. then my eyes grow wide in the terror of knowing they now have a gun. im thrown into the air and back down, my back flopping onto the ground .its as if we hit a speed bump. but by the sounds of things, it wasnt.
