I want to vanish so completely that even I wouldn't remember me, not feelings, not people, not anything. Just completely gone. I wanted to get so lost that no one could ever find me, to go so far away I could never find my way home again and I have no idea why.

The world is so loud yet so quiet as I walk in the pouring rain in my soaking wet clothes. My shoes squeak as the water fills them making my socks damp. My dark long hair goes stringy and frizzy as my nose goes red from sniffing and the cold itching it.

My eyes are bloodshot and puffy as tears run down my face chasing after one and other. I feel my throat start to grow croaky with the tears blinding my vision.

I know exactly where I'm heading, but I don't want to. Ive been warned and screamed at not too, but I'm still going anyway.

The group is at their place but they aren't my group. I've always been excluded and ignored although they claim I am the centre of their attention. They are trusting me that I am just going on a walk and I will come back, I won't , I know I won't.

I'm going to get away with it without any suspicion as I always walk around this time. I've planned it out well.

Just as I start to climb the cold, slippery metal pole leading me to the end, dread fills my gut knowing what I'm about to cause.

Yellow headlights pass over the bridge I am climbing which grabs my attention and I clearly grab theirs. It's a black van with blackout windows. Oh shit.

Just as I start to panic, two men in full gear, bulletproof vests and all. They look like they are fresh out of the FBI, they rest a hand on their weapons and I turn around to face them fully.

"Are you miss Raven Silveront?" The taller one asks who steps closer to me. How do they know my name and why are they asking? Immediately my fight or flight is triggered and my body starts to shake with tears still streaming down my face.

"How do you know my name?" I ask warily, I would have stepped back if I wasn't on the edge of a bridge. The taller man turns to his partner and nods his head. He murmurs into his earpiece something about me responding to the name and fitting a description or something.

The shorter one sighs and says, "Miss you will need to come with us." The taller one reaches a hand out to help me down. I don't take his hand nor do I answer, I just shake my head at them.

"Miss, we truly do not have a lot of time to waste. You need to come with us, you are not safe." The taller one takes another step with his hand still at offer.

Giving them a questioning look "Why do i need to come with you? I don't know either of you, how can I trust you enough to get into your blackout car? Not creepy at all." They don't even say anything back to me but in the corner of my eye I see the shorter one reach into the pocket at the front of his vest and pull out a badge.

"Miss this is how you can trust us to bring you to safety, we both work for TDT, Tactical Defence Teams. All me and officer Anderson are here to do is keep you safe, now will you please take a step off of the ledge and come with us." He places the badge in my hand so I can get a good look.

"I will get in as long as you explain everything in the car." They both nod at me as I take officer andersons hand to help me down. We walk over to the car as officer Anderson helps me get into the car.

Currently in the backseat still waiting on an explanation from the TDT guys for a while now. They handed me a pair of grey trackie bottoms and a hoodie which has TDT across it. Luckily there was a cover that they slid across so they couldn't see me get changed.

"I know you want an explanation in the car but it is not possible, it is best that someone who knows everything about this speaks to you about it. My apologies for lying to you but we needed to get you out of there especially in that state." Officer Anderson opens his window and taps a card onto this machine. It accepts us through into this massive security check opening.

"What is this place and why does it have so much security?" I ask, amazed at the technology I can barely see out of these stupid windows.

The shorter one answers this time "This is The Ackan Centre TAC for short, a place where a lot of things happen. There are many different floors that contain the most secret confidential files in the world that need to be well secured, as well as the lab containing the DNA tests to find soul bonds amongst other things. you will understand why you're here in a second. I forgot to mention that I'm an officer grives." There is alot to take in with this new area although I haven't even stepped out of the car ever since I left that hell.

Officer Anderson starts to tap to the quiet beat of the music on the outside of the car. I'm still admiring the view of whatever this is, I have never seen anything like it. The only thing that has ever come close is left over takeaway I found in the microwave once. I must have been so far into my own little world I didn't notice officer grives get out the car and open the door on the other side of me.

"Can I not just get on this side?" I set my hand on the handle but right as I'm about to open the door officer Anderson shouts "Don't open that door! You will scratch the paint!" I immediately pull my hand away apologising as I hear officer grives laughing "it's fine miss, officer andersons just super dramatic and a bit too passionate about the cars around here. Now come on, let's get you inside."

The two officers walk in front of me at an impossible pace I can hardly keep up with. They don't care to slow down even as they watch me struggle.

It's crazy how before that 5 hour car drive i was about to jump off of a bridge railing, that is very awkward now i think about it. I would say I'm glad these officers came and got me before I did it but I know what they have got me for so I can't trust them that far yet.

We step into a white building that looks like a normal house which leaves me confused.

"Uh why is there so much security for such a tiny house? I thought this was supposed to be a huge centre filled with documents and big fancy labs." I scratch the back of my arms as I wrap them around myself.

"You will see, Miss Silveront, just be patient." Anderson heads towards a door that looks like any normal bedroom door but it's far from it.
