My name is sarah, and me and my family moved to the amazon because of some issues, we used to live in Chicago but there was a pretty bad incident and then my dad got a new job researching the amazon, but the main reason we left is because i was a stupid 16 year old and wanted to go to a party. well i didn't know the party would cost my baby sister Hannah her life. when i asked to go to the party my mom said "no you have to stay home and babysit." well after my parents left to go shopping or dancing or whatever, i put Hannah to bed. After she was asleep i snuck out to the party. I was only gone 2 hours, when i came home my mom was screaming and crying, i found out some criminals busted out of prison, found Hannah sleeping by the window, kidnapped her, raped and murdered her. her body was found 10 miles down the road. she was only 8 years old,i'm 17 years old now and i was just like the typical teenager i loved T.V. and the internet and cell phones. Now i am just a dark and depressing EMO girl who never leaves my new house and who doesn't deserve to be on the earth.
I was sitting in my room gazing out my window it was about 11:00 p.m. I wasn't looking for anything interesting just the normal thing every night. I live out in the country about 15 miles from the closest town, nothing ever happens out here....... well until tonight it was the strangest thing I've ever seen but yet it was so familiar. it was a black van driving really slow in front of our house. I was home alone so I grabbed my dad's gun (it wasn't loaded or anything) and i went outside. The next thing i knew i was attacked and threw into the back of the van. They quickly blindfolded me and drove off. I tried to scream, but they duct taped my mouth shut. It was the worst day of my life. I tried not to think about what was going on as i blacked out. The next thing i knew it was last spring and my little sister Hannah was playing outside with our poodle Roxie. Then I see me run up to her and spin her around and tell her i love her. All i could think about is what if the same thing that happened to her happens to me.
We drove for what seemed like 3 hours, and I couldn't get the horrible images of me being murdered out of my head, then the van came to a sudden stop as i fall backwards and hit the back of the van. The leader (or i suppose he was the leader) yelled
"Hey! Stop It!"
I wondered why he said that, but as always i listened and stayed still. next thing i knew they took me out of the van and threw me onto the ground. I was mumbling a prayer so i wouldn't die, and to my amazement they took the blindfold off of me and drove off. i never saw their faces, i never got any identification on them all i knew was the guy's voice and now i have no idea where i am, all i can find out is i'm deep in the amazon rain forest or at least deeper than i've ever been.
I tried to find some shelter for the night......no such luck. I wander around the rain forest lost and afraid i can't believe what just happened to me what will my parents do when they notice i'm missing along with my father's gun...I finally found what looks like light from a village...maybe it's natives or maybe my father's camp. I move close to the light in the distance just my luck it's natives and they don't look happy to see me
"boy i hope they understand english." I said to myself.
A native boy around my age walks up but he doesn't look like the other natives
"You are an outsider,yes?" the boy said. (Hallelujah he speaks english!)
"yes i'm an outsider i was kidnapped and dropped off about 3 miles east" i murmur hoping he wouldn't be mad if i was an outsider.
"I am Derek Prince of the Manohunies. whom are you?" he stated.
"I am Sarah Thomson daughter of mike and jane thomson" i said.
"my tribe welcomes you to stay with us and get well we will treat you as our princess." Derek announced. Derek was about 6", with long black hair he was pretty built (he had an eight pack), and the most beautiful baby blue eyes i've ever seen, and at that moment i finally realized i wasn't dreaming and i was standing in front of a cute amazon prince and i'm being accepted into his tribe. The Queen (Derek's mother) showed me to a hut to sleep in, it was beautiful with all the colors of the rainbow and a majestic waterfall out of my window. "welcome home." she said as she walked out of the hut and closed the door. I ignored her and went straight to sleep i had a lot to do in the morning.
