Forced to be a pet

Part 1

I hate today! Why did they have to come today? I don't want to be taken from my family. They just had to come today. I thought as I sat in the corner crying. Today The Takers have come to my town and every kid 12-17 years old has to meet in the town square. Today is my 16th birthday and I just wanted to be with my family. I stand up and wipe my tears. I walk into the living room of our small house.

"Mom, I'm ready to go." I tell her

"Ok, sweetheart let's go." My mom said with sadness

"I want to give you something first." I pull out a handmade necklace I made. "I made this for you. So, you will remember me."

"Thank you so much, sweetheart." My mom hugs me and starts to cry.

"I love you, mom." I hug her back.

My mom lets go and take the necklace. She puts it on and smiles.

"It's beautiful!" My mom said. "Let's get going now."

We both walk to the door. I open it for my mom and she walks out. I follow her as she starts to walk to the town square. I look around the town I'm probably never going to see again. I'm going to miss this place. Even tho it's broken down and dirty, it's still my home. I thought. As we neared the town square I saw every kid in my town that was 12-17, which wasn't that many since it was a pretty small town. My mom turns to me and hugs me again.

"I love you so much! You will always be my baby!" My mom told me as she cried.

"I love you to mom, but I have to go now." I hug her back and walk away.

I walk into the town square looking around. Then all of a sudden a horn blows. All of the kids look to the center and of the square. I see a tall man in an all-white outfit. I'm guessing he's the Taker in charge.

"All right listen up you brats." The man started to say. "I want all the boys over there and the girls over there."

He points to the two lines of trucks that line the side of the square. I walk to the side he said boys are supposed to go. Right as I get there a Taker grabs me and pushes me into a truck. I sit down getting even more nervous. I look around at the other boy. They are all just as nervous as me. The truck starts to move. I tense up and think. This is going to be interesting.
