Lost and Found

Prologue:

            Screams that’s all I hear. I’m starting to think that’s all I’ll ever hear, I’ll die with screams or the voice of my tormentor being the last thing I hear. I hear a whimper from the cage across from me. “sh, Emily it’s okay we’ll get out of her soon. We’ll be okay, I promise. We just have to stay alive for someone to find us,” I told her. She only nine, I try to protect her in every way I can. I think I’ve done a great job so far. They have only taken her out of her twice in the four month she’s been here, I’ve made a ruckus every time they tried so they would take me instead.

      BOOOOM!!

          We both screamed at that. “Emily,” I whisper yelled. “Get to the very back and cover yourself with anything you can find. Don’t make a sound or move till I tell you otherwise. No matter what you hear, okay?” “Okay,” she whimpered. I did the same as I told her to do. I could hear screams of the men that tormented us and gun shots. I had no idea what was happening, but I hope against all hope that it was someone to save us. After what seemed like hours the door to our area was banged open. It was so hard not to move and whimper from the fear. Luckily both Emily and I were able to stay silent and unmoving. We heard a male voice say,” these ones look dead to. I think we were to late Gage.” “Damn it,” Gage shouted! I heard Emily whimper. She never did like when the men yelled. “Wait did you hear that?” “I think it came from the little one,” said the first guy.  I started panicking what if they were like the others! I thought to myself I hurried up and got up. “Leave her alone you assholes,” I shouted without thinking!  The two men just stood there looking at me like I’ve grown another head. The guy named Gage put his hands out and said,” We’re not here to hurt you. We are here to get everyone out and get rid you the monsters that hurt you.” I didn’t know whether to believe him or not, but I guess I really didn’t have a choice. I wasn’t strong enough to stop either of them.

           Gage sent the first guy out to tell the others that there were survivors and to get the bolt cutters. “Emily,” I called. “You okay?” “Yea, I’m okay. Are these the people you said would find us Ro,” she asked. “I think so, but I want you to stay back and wait for me. I don’t trust them,” I told her. With the little light from the door way I could see her nod her head. “You get me out first,” I told the Gage guy. “Okay,” was all he said.

         When the other guy came back they cut the bolt to my cage first. Once I was out I allowed Gage to get close enough to Emily’s cage to cut the bolt. Then without my prompting he step back, allowing me to step into the cage with Emily. She rushed to me quickly and we held onto each other like our lives depended on it. “Who are you?” I asked them. Gage quickly asked, “We’re Guardians from the council. We’ve been tracking Levi and his team for a couple years. We got an anonymous tip three days ago with this location. So here we are, but Levi isn’t here.” “He left early this morning after he got a phone call. I heard him tell everyone that they needed to get rid of the evidence,” I told him. “Damn. Alright well If you’ll follow me we’ll get you back with your families or packs,” Gage said. “And if we have no family or pack?” I asked him. “Then you’ll stay with us and the council till they decide where you should go,” he answered. I nodded and we set off with Emily and me staying close to Gage.
