Chapter 12

Nick

        I watched in horror as the people lut something over my sister's mouth and she fainted, then dragged her away.
       I saw Riley put in chains and I watched her struggle. Suddenly I couldn't move. I tilted my head to the left and saw Dexter cursing.
"Just shut up! You all are just stupid men! Do you even know that this hurts?" He was thrashing everywhere.
I spoke to the woman tying me up.
"Where have you taken my sister?"
"I don't know, and I'm not allowed to answer that." My heart almost stopped. I knew that voice somewhere.
The voice that sang to me when I was a little kid. It was my long lost mother. The mother that Regina took from me. The mother Ashten took from me.
          "Mom..." My voice trailed off as she put a silver tape around my mouth. I didn't know what to do. What did they do to her? Brainwash her? Turned her into someone else, someone who forgets me, someone who doesn't know me?
            But where was my father? Was he dead? I had millions of questions in my head. I was dragged, along with the others. Dexter finally calmed down. I think he fainted or something. Only now he wasn't struggling anymore. We were dragged back into our cells, out of it, then along the corridor, then another, then finally a big room where they forced us to kneel down.
               One by one, they hauled us into a glass box each person. Then, they pulled a lever on the wall and one by one, the people in the glass box started to faint. I watched in horror, then I blacked out.

I woke up not seeing anything. My hands were tied behind my back. There was something in my mouth. I heard the stomping of boots followed by the tik-tok of high heels. They; or whoever it was took of my gag.
             "Nicholas Arginson. It is such a pleasure to meet you. My name is Director Regina. I believe you have heard about me."
            "Yes, I have heard about you. Now, where is my sister?"
