Take Me Home

Chapter 1: Taken

Cassy's P.O.V

"Cassy!"

I looked back to see had called me and smiled when I saw Josh running up to me with that goofy smile on his face.

"Hey," I replied. "What's up?"

He ran up to me with outstretched arms and scooped me up. He let out a hearty laugh as he spun me around then set me on my feet. I stood dazed and tried to regain my balance. School had just been let out for the day and Josh asked if I needed a ride home.

"Nah, that's ok," I replied. "I want to stop at the store before I get home."

"Alrighty then!" He shouts as he runs to get to his old pick-up truck. I waved and started down the street home. I stopped at the grocery store and bought a couple things and started home again. I checked the time on my phone and realized I had some time to spare, so I decided to take a different route home.

I walked down a dirty street it was covered in filth. As I walked I thought to myself, 'Poor people I wish I could help.' As I walked I saw a little girl. She looked so small and young. I looked into my purse I saw I had a pack of M&M's and a couple dollars. I pulled them out and I kneeled down and handed her the candy and money. "Take care." I continued to walk. I was a couple blocks away from home when I heard yelling. I knew I should've run straight home, but instead I ran toward the noise. What I saw horrified me. There were two men kicking, beating, and yelling at person on the floor saying, "WHERE'S THE MONEY!?" I lunged in between them and tried to stop them from killing the man. One of the guys shoved me to the floor. I hit my head and the curve and the world went blury. As I faded in and out of conciseness, I felt myself being dragged and heard a car door slam just as I slipped into the darkness and quiet.
