The Little Night Light

Chapter 17

Lol, I don't ever really do this because I know not many people look at the videos posted at the top of chapters, but what the hell, this one really fits. Here my friends, is the song for Cybele for this and many chapters. Plus, this song was my so called 'motivation' for this chapter.

Enjoy

"Cybele!"

"Pearl! Hurry up! I wanna get home. The pool is calling to me!"

"Are you doing anything this afternoon?" I asked the both of them.

"Oh yeah, I am, I have that stupid science project I have to work on," Pearl responded.

"Yeah, and I have that last part of the English project to work on," Vivian added.

"Aww you guys are no fun," I pouted, "but I know there's always another day to jump in the pool. Right?"

"Right!" They responded in unison. We all giggled and headed to the end of the sidewalk where the white van was still parked.

"Well, I'll see you guys tomorrow," I smiled waving them goodbye as they waited to be picked up by their parents.

I cautiously walked around the white van and tried to look at who's parents were in the front seat of the car, only all the windows were tinted and there was no other way to tell. So, I kept on walking, slowly making my way home.

I was about half way home when on an abandoned street when I heard a car start to approach me from behind. Not thinking much of it, I walked on. I heard it slowly pull in front of me and come to a complete stop on the curb. I slowed my walking pace as I noticed that it was the same van that was next to the school. My mind was telling me to run, but to where?

The passenger door of the van swung open and a man with a black ski mask darted out of the vehicle. Adrenaline raced through my veins as I quickly turned around in my spot and bolted down the sidewalk as fast as, my legs could carry me. I landed with a loud thud as my head smashed into the pavement. I could smell the blood start to trickle down the back of my head and onto the sidewalk. I could see many colorful spots and lights, but I couldn't see the white cloth being plunged down on my mouth.

I tried to scream and cry out, but nothing stopped the three men from hauling my weightless body up from the ground. I heard a door slide open on the car follow by the smell of an odorless drug on the cloth one of the men used to cover my nose: chloroform.

My unless cries slowly diminished as my head began to spin. The drug wasted no time invading my body and knocking me unconscious. The last thing I saw was two other bodies tied up in the car with me, but the last things I heard were Vivian and Pearl screaming out my name..........

When I woke up, I was in a different state, different climate, different everything. I had no idea what was going on. Everything was just so fast and confusing, nothing made any sense.

"Cybele! Cybele! Are you ok?" I heard someone shout. The people outside of the van were running around and some people were even barking orders at other people. There was no grass to be seen, only dirt and a whole bunch of dust and hay everywhere. You know when you watch a movie and the scene gets blurry and it's supposed to represent what the character is seeing? I didn't think that actually happened to people in real life till now.

"I-Is she dead? She can't be! You and I both need her!" I wanted to cry out and tell them that I was ok, crawl over and hold my two best-est friends close so no one could harm them, protect them from what was to come, but I simply couldn't. Not only did my body deny me the privilege to talk, but the saliva soaked cloth in my mouth told me otherwise.
