Stolen

Chapter 4

Rachel

I walked alone, sadly Kyle had a dentist appointment and got out of school early.

I looked around a lot, spotting a unfamiliar white van.

Panic kicked in but I reassured myself, I only lived exactly 8 minutes away, and if I run, I could save 3 minutes.

I tried to act casual, seeing the dark alley I usually take.

It's like a shortcut.

Right when I turn the corner, the van stopped abruptly and the door opened.

I didn't look back, I didn't ask questions, I just ran as fast as I could but heard heavier footsteps behind me.

Whoever was trying to catch me was fast.

I heard them get closer and sure enough I was tackled, hitting my head in the process.

But I still put up a fight.

"Oh god you're bleeding." A raspy voice said in concern.

I kicked his shins hard and tried elbowing the man but he was strong.

"Stop!" I tried to scream but he clamped a hand over my mouth.
