Taken

Chapter One: Taken

Chapter One: Going away

Hi, I'm River, and I'm your average 16 year old girl with brown hair, golden highlights, green eyes and a fierce attitude. I have one younger sister. Her name is Raylin. She's a 15 year old brunette with blue eyes and a sweet personality. We don't have a dad, so it's just us girls.

I laid down on my bed that had black blankets and pillow cases. I scrolled through my phones Playlist looking for a song to put on. Once I found the song, "Your Safe" by Rachelle Platten, I blasted it, and opened a book.

After about 45 minuits the same song came on agian, just as my mom called me and my sister out of our

"R-river! R-raylin! Come out here babies..." I heard my mom yell. She sounded like she was crying.

I got up and opened my door, then walked out to the front room.

"Mom? What's wrong?" I said, nervouse.

"Honey, these men...T-these men are gonna take you away for a while...so get you bags and follow them...okay?" She said through tears.

Two other men where in the front room. Raylin was in tears. I was still processing.

Raylin ran to her room, and I followed. When I opened the door I saw her laying on her bed burying her face in her purple pillow.

"I-I dont want to go...Don't let them take us River...please..." she was crying her eyes out.

"Hey..." I started, and sat down on the ground beside her bed and began rubbing her back, "look...We'll come up with a plan and then we'll come back home. Alright?"

She looked up at me and in a small voice she whispered, "H-how...?"

"I don't know yet...but we'll find a way soon, okay? But until them, you gotta just go with the flow." I smiled sweetly unsure how we'd get out of this.

I got up and left to allow her to pack. I went to my bedroom and grabbed a suitcase. Me and my sister kept a suitcase just in case we had to leave quickly.

I met my sister in the front room who had her suitcase with her as well. She was hugging our mom and whispering things. Finally, she nodded and went with one of the men in a black suit into a black car.

I ran to her and hugged her tightly. I felt my tears running down my cheeks like waterfalls.

"Dont worry mom...I'll find way to see you agian...I love you." I gave her a kiss on the cheek and then began walking away. On my way out I heard her saying that she loved me. I wiped my tears and on my way out I grabbed my suitcase.

I walked outside and down the 3 steps that lead to my house. I put my blue suitcase in the trunk, and looked at our old fashioned house that no longer belonged to us.

I bravely got in the car and sat to my sister who was crying her eyes out. I held her amd let her lay against me. He began to drive away.

I watched as our house got smaller and smaller in the rear view mirror. Not a single soul but myself knew my plan to get back home.

I still didn't even know what was going on. These men are the CPS. I could tell because of their sign on their nametag. I was scared. How long were they going to take us away? I have a feeling for a long time. I think my mom said something about when CPS came and if they took us away, then they were going to take us away from her for a really long time.

"I'll find a way to get to mom okay...?" I whispered just loud enough for Raylin to hear.

She nodded in response, and I continued my planning.
