This has got to be the worst day of my life. Iv’e had bad experiences when I was little (like peeing my pants) but this is so much worse then that. It started when I was at Gymnastics I was climbing up one of those 20 meter ropes and almost reached the top until right in the corner of my eye I saw the door being slammed open. Five giant men came into the Gym. These weren’t ordinary men though, they were all dressed in medieval golden armor like they were about to go into battle. They didn’t even have guns at their sides. Instead there were long broad swords. All five of them walked over to the desk where a lady sat writing into a book. She had earphones on listening to some kind of music, she hadn’t noticed them yet.
I think you’d be wondering what I was doing. I was still hanging onto a rope in midair twenty meters off the ground. I just hung there frozen watching these big men walk into my gym class like they owned it. I couldn’t move I was just stuck, everyone else in the room also stood there staring at them too. The room was silent. Finally the lady at the counter noticed the burly man in front of her. She gave a yelp of surprise and stared at the men. When she got her shock in check she asked nervously to the man.
“D…Do you want anything sir? Or are you waiting for your kid?” everyone stood waiting for the man’s answer. He looked about thirty years old. He had brown hair and a brown bushy moustache. Tiny bright blue eye’s pierced at the lady as though he could see straight through her. His expression told you that he wasn’t happy about something.
“MY DEAR LADY!” he boomed “You should not address your superiors like that!” the lady cowered before the big man. He turned toward all the other people in the room. His beady eyes looking at every single person, except he didn’t see me up near the roof, he didn’t even glance up.
“I shall pick fifteen of all your young kids and they shall travel to our world and become slaves in service of the king! If I pick you, you shall come over here and stand by Thorn!” he pointed to his comrade next to him. I didn’t want to be a slave! I thought. I’m only twelve years old and what was this man talking about, what land? What King we only have a Queen, and that’s Queen Elizabeth? Questions tumbled into my mind so fast I couldn’t even keep track of them. Miss hunts spoke, breaking through my panic attack.
“Sir I would like for you to leave now. We are under a really tight schedule and we have a competition on Friday, if you don’t I’ll call the police.” The man looked at the lady his face turning red.
“I SAY WHEN WE LEAVE! I’m you’re superior and you listen to me! Got that!” miss Hunts didn’t even flinch she turned to the lady at the desk.
“Katie call the cops.” Katie went to the phone, but as she went to pick it up she had a sword pointed at her throat. She gave a squeal looking at the sharp point.
“Now put down the device and step back slowly.” Katie did just that “Now if anybody moves, this lovely young lady will be dead in the next second.” The man now had everyone’s absolute attention. “Argus!” he shouted to the man next to Thorn he was a bit smaller then Thorn but he was rounder then all of them he had a long blonde moustache (all five of them seemed to have moustaches) and blond hair. He saluted to the one holding Katie at sword point and walked over to the nearest group of people. They all stood frozen staring at the large man he was even taller than the instructor standing there Mrs. Martin she was such a nice lady. She used to be my instructor until I moved up a class.
“S…S..” she stuttered “Sir I I…. Insist that you, D..Don’t take these children.” I thought she was really brave standing up to the big man. Suddenly he swept her off her feet making her fall flat on her back she gave a cry of pain.
“Slaves don’t talk!” he shouted he picked two random kids from the group and pushed them toward Thorn, they reluctantly walked over to him. As they walked over I noticed my best friend James walking over. Once they were there Thorn dropped a bunch of chains onto the ground. The two kids jumped and before they could run Thorn grabbed them by the collar’s. He clamped big metal chains around their necks hands and feet. From where I was holding onto the rope (which was starting to hurt my fingers) I could tell that they were heavy. By now Argus had picked five more kids from the gym, most of them my friends. When Argus eventually reached the middle he had already picked twelve kids from the gym. He walked underneath the rope where my group was. Mr. Keens was the teacher he stood there stock still.
“Now! Who shall I pick here?!” Argus boomed gleefully his deep voice resonating throughout the hall.
“Hurry up Argus!” shouted one of his companions. He quickly picked two kids Thomas and Jenny out of my group then paused. He looked thoughtfully at all the kids and mumbled.
“You’re all too scrawny!”
“They’re just kids” shouted Mr. Keens. He should’ve kept his mouth shut (by now my fingers were burning) Argus looked at the man and suddenly with a great big shove made him fly right over to the other side of the room. Unfortunately when he got shoved he knocked against the rope I was hanging onto and that was all my fingers could take. I gave a scream as I fell towards the ground. But instead of the ground I landed onto Argus’s back the big man fell down cushioning my fall. I stood up and looked around, everyone was looking at me.
“Get her!” shouted Thorn to his comrades they bolted across the room faster then I would’ve thought. I ran over to the climbing wall at the end of the hall and as quick as a flash scaled it to the very top. The two big men stopped and looked up at me. My fingers were still aching from the rope. One of them tried climbing the wall but he fell back down again. The other just looked up at me thinking. He looked at one of the big metal poles that held up the roof and smiled. I knew what he was going to do and before he banged his fist down onto the pole I grabbed the climbing rocks as hard as I could. The whole wall reverberated but I couldn’t hold on and I fell straight into the arms of the big burly man. He held me with an iron grip but I still struggled. Where were the police? Someone would’ve called them by now! The big man carried me over to Thorn.
“This one’s strong.” He complemented. He put me on to the ground and before I could bolt he clamped on the metal chain around my neck. I ran, but I came to a sudden stop as the chain reached the end of its line and choked me.
“Now come here little lady” said Thorn holding out the other chains to go onto my ankles and wrists. I shook my head. Thorns big hand reached out so quickly I had no time to react. Just like James he held me by my collar. He clamped on the chains, the cold bite of metal giving me shiver that ran down my back, they weighed a ton. I scowled up at Thorn.
“You won’t get away with this!” I shouted.
“Oh yeah! And who’s going to stop us!” he bellowed, his comrades laughed.
“Now come on we have to get off this land before sundown otherwise then we’ll surely get caught,” said the man that had held Katie by sword point.
“Well come on! Go!” he shouted. Thorn grabbed Thomas’s wrist chains and pushed him along out the door, we were all connected so we had to follow him out the door too. Outside it was late afternoon. The Gym was centered right near the seashore of Byron bay. Straight away I noticed which ship we were going on, it was one of those old ships that you hardly ever saw anymore. It had big white sails and was made all of wood. Up at the top of the mast you could just make out the crow’s nest and in there sat a tiny plump man looking down on them. He smiled as he saw his friends.
“Hello down there!” he called; Thorn waved one of his big hands. We all stood underneath the big ship looking up at its mighty size.
“Wow it’s amazing!” I burst out before I could stop myself. James gave me a hard look his eyes saying ‘why would you say that, these men just kidnapped us and you say that’s amazing!’ Thorn seemed to like that complement
“I’m starting to like this girl more and more! Now get on the ship!” we all walked onto a board that led to the ship. I could see the sea churning underneath me. I always liked the sea with its deep color blue and the sound it made in the mornings. My bright red hair blew in the wind around me, I loved being out here. I always wished that one day I could go out to sea and just stay there for several months. I guess I got my wish just not the way I expected it.
