Nobody knew whether or not they would be taken. The police never found a pattern. A case in New York. Another in Wisconsin. All of them with nothing in common. More started happening in Europe. And then Asia. Nobody knew what was happening. Only that once a whole family was killed except for one kid, that one child needed as much protection as possible. It happened worldwide. Hitting random spots of the globe.
It was terrifying not knowing whether you were to be taken or not. I was one of them. My family didn't realy care though. My grandmother was a Christian and always said "As long as you believe in god,you won't be taken."
Wow. I was an Atheist,but I never told anyone. Only Alice. But she started visiting less,and lesser. I got scared and told Mama. She just said "Stop that! Alice is not real!". But I know full well she was real. She was a runnaway. Ditched her family because she said they didn't understand. There was nothing wrong with her life yahh know. A loving mom and 4 siblings. She used to big for her age, but was still beautiful. She lost her appetite to eat later and lost weight. She used to cry into my pillow saying she felt bad because when she started eating less her mom and grandma would always say "There's kids in Africa who would eat anything. So be gratefull that you have food." Later she told me how she didn't like dancing or wearing tight clothes because she thought she was ugly. And how she had a horrible personality. I told her different. Besides, she did look and act just like me, which is why we became close.
One time she didn't come for a whole week and I wondered why. Then the police came by our house and asked for me. When I stepped out the house the policeman spoke, "Do you know who Alice Fly is?" I slowley nodded my head then he spoke in a sad voice "It seems as though she is a victim of the mysterious Taker. Her family was killed a few days back and it seems as though he has taken her."
My eyes went wide at the news. He went on saying how she knew she was going to leave and that she left a letter for me. As he spoke and explained the situation to my mom, I opened the letter still shaking. It said,
Dear Bobb The Mad Hatter,
I'm sorry I never told you about this. I knew you had paronia about all of this. I just wanted to say how I'm sorry I am for not telling you. So very sorry. But thanks for being my friend. Even when I took up all your time or when you took up all my time. I'm putting a bracelet in here that reads "BFF" because we basicaly were. So...
Fudge. I don't know what to say! Sorry for being taken. Sorry for leaving you alone. Please try to be social, not anti-social like both of us were!!! Sorry for leaving you a shatty note,or letter. Dang it. Live your life. I brought this on myself. Peace. And shat.
Love, Alice Leaving To Wonderland
I felt a hand on my shoulder but pushed it away and took off running. I heard somebody call out my name but kept on going. I finally stopped and sat down then looked around. I was near an old park. I sat there for a while until I thought I needed to go back. But as I stood up, I heard whispers. I stopped and listened intentaly.
"Are you sure thats him?" A deep male voice said.
"Uh-duhh! He looks just like the picture.'' A high-pitched female voice said.
''He looks kind of like that girl....." The male voice spoke again.
''Will both of you idiots shut up before we get caught!'' This time a small but loud male voice said.
"Sorry boss.'' The two 'idiots' said.
I slowley took a step forward and spoke out ''Hello?''
Sunddenly there was a scramble by a bush and a tall and buff man stood up with a small skinny girl and an even smaller boy. ''Run!'' He said before taking off down the street then disapearing. I stood there for a second before turning around and walked home. Who was those people? And why did they want him?
