The Woods of London

Chapter 1

I lived in London. My name is Lizzy.I had a great life up until I was forteen. Now I'm seventeen and still looking. Still looking for my parents and brother. My family was abducted by these mean people. They were as cruel as a jockey was to its racing horse.

This is how it all started!...

Flashback

"Lizzy where are you." My mother screamed.

"In my room." I replied.

"Okay but lunch is going to be ready in fifteen. Got it." She screamed from the kitchen.

"Yes Momma."As it echoed down the staircase

Those were my last words i said to my mother. These words haunt me in my sleep. As I was in my room I heard a big BOOM! It startled me. Then some horrific screams. I ran to my closet because I heard footsteps up the staircase. I believe they were checking the house if anyone was still there.

Once i heard the slam of the front door. I springed up out of the closet to look out my window. All i remember seeing were men in black ski masks dragging these big black bags. I looked at the man as he looked at me from my window. He noticed I was still there. Still he packed the white van that had the license plate of 730PHU0 and sped off.

End of flash back

I eventually looked around the house finding nothing. I called 911. Two detectives showed up one as the name of Detective Amanda Brown. The other was Detective Robert Luke. Detective Brown was a red head that was tall and skinny. Detective Luke was a kind man with blue eyes and very muscular. These two people mean alot to me now. They are the only people I trust.

I poured in tears as I told them what I saw but no one knew how to answer these questions. What happened to them? Are they dead? Who took them? Where are they?

As I wonderd how and where the police would find my family. I sat and ate the sandwhich that momma left me. Savoring every last bit of it. It was a horrifying experience seeing those black bags being dragged, the sound of them, and his face in general was stuck in my dreams forever.

Detective Luke brought me to the police station. I had to make statements on the news, to the press, and the whole town.

On October 12 my statement

was extraordinary. Everyone wanting to help but they don't know how to. The statement was... " On September 23 my family was abducted. I was startled by a noise as I was sitting in my room. As my father was reading the newspaper. As my brother was playing his video games. And finally how my mother was preparing lunch. Strange men took them and put them in black trash bags. Putting them in a white van. As the man look straight at me his image is imprinted in my brain. It's like this horrific man branded me,with his face, with a hot iron."

The speech took great impact on the town. It made people look for the van. Thats right i said made them. It pushed people to look.

The two detectives helped twenty four seven. Detective Brown took me under her wing. Meaning that she let me sleep in her home under fostercare. Detective Brown gave me my own room in her two bedroom apartment. Her home was over a grocery store in an urban area of town.

Finally we found something...

"Lizzy!" Detective Brown called.

"What was that license plate number again." As she said holding a couple of photos in her hand.

I screamed," 730PHU0!"

That license plate number I repeated in my head for several days. Looking at every van that passed my apartment window.

Detective Brown screamed,"I think we found the van!"

After those words I screamed with joy. They found it in the woods nearby. I went with Detective Brown. They found a black bag. A dark bag. With my brother inside. He was Alive but unconscious. Right now I'm at the hospital waiting to hear from the doctor.

"Wow u look great."As I heard a familiar voice. I looked up it was Detective Luke.

"Ya great, don't I." I said with sarcasm.

"He's up." Detective Luke said.

"Bring me to him." I commanded

"Okay okay c'mon." He yelled.

I followed him down a hallway. Threw sliding doors and up the elevator. The fifth floor. As we turned left and the first door on the right. I opened the door. All u heard was a large gulp from me. Finally I saw him.

"Lizzy?" The boy said.
