*after school*
When I got home I opened the door to find my sister Courtney crouched down in the middle of the sitting room floor crying with mum hovering over trying to comfort her. "Court are you okay?" I asked her. Mum took me upstairs and explained to me what happend. "She was getting picked on today by a lot of kids at school." I stared at her shocked. Courtney was extremely popular in her year level no one ever picked on her. What could've caused them to pick on her?
I told mum about my day. "Mum it was amazing I'm so glad we moved here! I really miss Bree but I think I have a new friend here to make up for it. His name is Luke and he is super nice and in all of my classes. His older brother is a bully though and was being a bit rude to me today and Luke stuck up for me!" "Well I'm glad you've made a new friend Soph" she said just before hugging me. I love my mum.
After dinner I went to bed. I felt really happy but at the same time I had a really bad feeling in my stomach.
I was woken up at about 2:30am by a terrorising scream. I didn't know who it was. I ran downstairs to where the sound was coming from. "HELP ME" I heard them scream again. They weren't inside anymore. Who the hell was screaming and where was mum and Courtney? I ran up to mums bedroom and she wasn't there. Oh my god. I ran to Courtney's room and she wasn't there either. Where the fuck did my family go? This was our 3rd night in Melbourne and they had been taken. I grabbed the landline and call 000 straight away. "Hello? Hi can I please have your help I woke up to a terrorising scream and my mum and younger sister were gone" I cried into the phone. "Sweetie calm down. What is your address I will send help there straight away" the woman said. I told her my address and hung up. They were here about 6 minutes after I ended the call. I swear there were about 50 people all up. There were some in both my mum and my sisters room, some searching the whole house for clues, most of them out on the streets looking and 3 people staying by me asking questions and trying to keep me calm. "Has your ever mum had anyone try to hurt her?" I just thought. My father. I broke into tears. They were pouring out of my eyes like buckets of water. I finally managed to speak up. "M-m-my f-f-ather."
They looked at me shocked. "Has your father every tried to kill or take any of you away?" When I heard the word 'kill' I just completely blacked out.*Beep.... Beep.... Beep*
I woke up in a pale cream room. It smelt like a hospital. I fluttered my eyes open. Oh. I was in hospital. I sat up and looked every way possible. Luke was sitting on the chair next to my bed. "Luke.. What're you doing here?" I quietly asked him. "Nurse! Nurse! She's awake! Oh Soph are you feeling okay? I'm here because I saw you being taken into the ambulance in a stretcher bed and followed them here because I knew something was wrong. Do you remember anything that could've possibly happend?" Then I thought back to last night. I went to fall back down but Luke grabbed me by my shoulders. "Sophie don't leave me. I need you" I heard him say. I blinked my eyes open again. "Luke I'll tell you after. I'm struggling to keep up with you. Can you get me a nurse?" "She's on her way babe" I heard him say. "Sophie King? Are you feeling better today miss?" The nurse asked me. "Hi yes I feel better I just need to see my mum and my sister" The nurse which I believe her name was Sam took Luke out of the room and was talking to him. When they came back Luke explained what was going to happen to me "Sophie the police haven't found your mum or sister yet so if you'd like I can take you in. You can stay with us for a while. I'm sure my mum would be glad to have another girl in the house for a change" I thought about it for a second. What about Beau? But I love Luke. What is happening with my life? Ugh Beau was only rude to me one day I'm sure he won't take chances in front of his mum. "Of course Luke thank you so much! When can we leave?" The nurse bursted out with "whenever you like honey!" From down the hallway. Luke and I went back to my house which was a crime scene at the moment and got my stuff then we headed back to the brooks household.
