It was around 5:00 in the morning when the house phone started to ring. I ignored it the first couple of times, but after hearing it four more times after that, I ran downstairs and picked it up. "What?" I said groggily. I didn't know who it was and at that point I didn't really care. "ROWIN!!! IS THAT YOU?" I heard Luke's voice come through the speaker. "Yes. Why? What's wrong?" I replied. At that point my mom came into the kitchen and gave me a blank look. I held up my finger to show her "one minute." She nodded and sat down at the kitchen table. Luke continued, " It's Aslen! I can't find him! Come quick! All your questions will be answered later. HURRY!" Luke hung up and I quickly told mom what had happened then ran outside. It was seconds after i ran outside someone grabbed me and held their hand over my mouth. I squelled and kicked, but their grip kept tightening.
They kept dragging me until I could see an outline of a pickup truck. The person picked me up and threw me in the back of the pickup truck and said, " If you're smart you'll stay quiet and stay where you are." Then he pulled his jacket open and in his inside pocket was a gun. He left me and got in the front of the truck and started to drive towards the exit of my neighborhood. I would have yelled for help, but i was too scared of his threat. I sat quitly. I kept looking for any cars or people going by so i could yell for help, but no one was there.
Suddenly I heard what sounded like a horse galloping on pavement. I squinted and noticed the figure of a horse. Aslen? No it couldn't be. The figure got closer and closer. Finally, the figure got close enough to where i could see that it was Aslen. Aslen! You found me! Aslen continued to keep a steady pace beside the car. It was easy for him number one: Because he already likes to run. Number two: The car was going fast enough for a horse to follow. He ran close enough to where i could touch him if i wanted to. How will I be able to jump on his back from a pickup truck? Okay think of the movies where they whistle and the horse comes by and they jump on and don't get hurt. This might hurt a little .I glad i'm not a guy. Ok hear it goes.
I was just about to jump when the car slowed down a bit. Oh no. He knows. He is slowing down...he's gonna catch me. I took a deep breath and jumped.
