I screamed and tried to squirm away from the guard who was assaulting me, yet his nails were digging into my flesh and I was in a lot of pain.
Ty was screaming his lungs out at this point. He was trying to get out of the grip of the guard behind him, yet he was knocked out by a punch in the face done by another guard.
I cried as the guard who was hurting me flicked out a pocket knife and held it to my neck. I shut my mouth and just went with what was going on. After all, I had no choice.
After about 5 more minutes, I had enough. I finally pulled away from the guard's grip and I sat up, in tears. Ty looked at me with red, cried out eyes. He made a face that said 'I'm so sorry.'
I stood up to my feet and I was grabbed away by the guard who was holding Ty. I quickly hugged Ty and I sobbed into his shoulder. The guard pulled us apart and shoved us forward to a big, black truck. I hit my shoulder against the wall of the truck as I was tossed inside. Ty tumbled in right after me. Then, the guards shut the doors to the truck and we were left in pitch blackness.
"Are you okay!?" Ty cried as he grabbed onto me. I found his torso and I hugged him as I sobbed.
"No!" I screamed as the truck began to drive away. "What royalty do they think we are!? We aren't trash!"
"Shhhhhh..." Ty said as he stroked my hair. I was still shaken by the fact that I was just assaulted. I hurt all over, and my head hurt even more than it did before.
I remembered what had happened just this morning. I was happy, confused, dazed, perplexed and eager to find Mom. Now, I was trying to hold onto life. God knows what these guards were going to do to me and Ty!
"They scarred me for life..." I sobbed.
Ty sniffled and I knew that he felt really bad that he had to stand by and watch and not do anything about it. He couldn't. And I wouldn't blame him.
There was a moment of silence, and I jolted upward as a thought entered my head.
"What if these bad guards are the ones who were behind this all?" I said.
"What?" Ty responded.
"What if they have Mom?" I asked eagerly.
