Kidnapped

Chapter 1

I yawn, it's 8am on Saturday morning, I can't hear anything, I'm surprised mum and dad aren't awake yet, they're usually up by 7. That was the first thing to tell me that something was wrong. I went into their room to see if they were still asleep, it's really rare for them to be up later than 7:30. But when I got into their room they weren't there, so I checked the rest of the house but I couldn't find them. It was then that I started to panic, I went outside, it was deadly quiet and none of the lights in any of the houses in our neighbourhood were on. I started shouting,
"Mum! Dad! Where are you?!" My breathing started to become short and laboured, calm down Tia, it's okay, I'll find them. I tried to calm myself down, but I couldn't. Then I heard someone else shouting, not far from where I stood,
"Hello!" I shouted, "is someone there?!"
"Yes!" A voice answered, the voice belonged to a boy.
"Keep shouting!" I yelled, "I'll go over to you!"
"Okay! I'm over here!" He shouted, I started to walk towards his voice, and then I saw him, and he saw me. He's quite tall, a few inches taller than me, with messy unkept blond hair and green eyes,
"We're you the one shouting?" I asked him,
"That was me", he replied,
"Thank god someone else is here! I'm Valentina, but everyone calls me Tia",
"I'm Lucas, but I go by Luke", he said.

"So what do we do now?" I say, exasperated,
"Let's go see if anyone else is here",
"Sounds good", but before we could start looking, someone grabbed hold of my arm, I swivelled around violently to see a grim looking man holding my right arm,
"You're coming with me", he said gruffly, his voice was like metal scraping against metal, it terrified me, so I punched him hard in the face, he screamed, but didn't let go.
"Get OFF ME!!!" I yelled, and struggled to get him off my arm, but then another man grabbed a lock of my hair and yanked it beck, then he grabbed my free arm and twisted it behind me. I clenched my teeth to stop myself from crying out, I then saw two men man-handling Luke, I'd had enough, I screamed with rage and struggled more, I didn't know who these guys were, but they were gonna be sorry. The man holding my hair yanked it back harder and whispered in my ear,
"I'd be more careful if I were you, kid, you never know what might happen", then I realised the other man was using his spare hand to hold a shot gun to my head, just above my right ear.
"Tia, stop, please", it was Luke, we'd only known each other for around 10 minutes, but we already cared for each other,
"Fine", I said quietly, "but the first chance I get, you guys are gonna die, and I'm gonna make it painful", I threatened, they laughed. But then something caught my eye, no, not something, someone.
Distract them, I didn't hear it from his mouth, his mouth didn't even move. It was almost like he was thinking it.
"Luke!" I whispered, "we need to distract them!" He nodded.
"Sooo", Luke said, "I wonder what big plans you guys have for us, they must be pretty smart!"
"Yeah!" I joined in, "I'm sure they're really fascinating!"
"Sorry mates, but we can't tell ya, boss' orders ya know!" Said one of the guys holding Luke.
"Awh, c'mon! Just one incy bincy little bit of your plan? Pleeeaaassseee", I fake pleaded,
"Well, I guess we could make one exception couldn't we mates?"
"No! We could not!" Said the guy holding my hair, "enough of this chatter! Let's take 'em to the boss!" A cheer went up around the men, I could literally feel their excitement, weird, then Dru arrived,
"GET OFF THEM!!!" He bellowed, then the man holding the gun to my head shot, and the last thing I heard was Luke screaming before I crumpled to the ground and my world went black.
