“Shut-up AND get in the car!” He screams at us, he- as Ronaldo.
“Why do we even have to go?!” I ask frustrated.
“Well unless you want to starve, and die I would suggest you come” Ronaldo says giving me a dumb look.
“Can’t we stay at home??!!” I ask trying to reason with him.
“No because we can’t trust you, now get in the car” This time Tanya said that as she pushes us into the car.
As we head to the shops I can hear the faint noise coming from the radio and what I hear is not in my liking.
“If anyone has any information on the two girls, aged in their 12’s please contact, crime stoppers or the police on 000…” My heart sank as a tear slipped down my eye, I didn’t get to hear the end because Ronaldo and Tanya must have heard it and they switched the radio channel.
The car stopped but before we got out Ronaldo gave us a lecture.
“Okay if any of you act suspicious or anything you will face dreadful consequences. Just act normally and we won’t have any problems.” Ronaldo says staring at us both hardly in the eyes.
“Yes” We replied as we got out of the car. I could already tell what one of the consequences would be. You always hear people who are kidnapped threatened if they escape or try to make people notice them; the kidnappers usually threaten to kill their family.
So it was serious when Ronaldo had mentioned consequences.
I tried to get Maddy’s attention because one of the grocery shops had a paper with our pictures on it and the number to call. A tear slipped down my eye as one pedestrian stared in confusion. He looked at the picture and us back and forth.
I couldn’t do anything but stare and hope, just hope that this person was smart.
“Girls, smile!! Actually look like you would want to be here” Tanya whispers glaring us down.
“Yep, got it” I murmured and kept my mouth shut.
“Hey Louisa, know knock” Maddy says
“ Who’s there” I ask,
“Arch”
“Arch who??
“Bless you!!” she says giggling and then I start giggling because her giggles are contagious.
“THAT LAUGH SOUNDS FAMILIAR!” a person screams out and I froze. Tanya and Ronaldo pull us by the arms but it was failing my heart was pounding and I wish that person would hurry up and find us, but it was no use.
Tanya pulled Mads’ by the hand whilst Ronaldo had to pull me up and carry me. Which I thought was stupid because it probably looked really suspicious!
****
“NO please it was an accident PLEASE!!” I say whilst tears flood my eyes. This is already turned into a nightmare, I don’t think we’ll ever be saved they say after 2 days of kidnapping if you haven’t escaped your unlikely to ever escape.
So my brain is a fuzzy mess and what’s more Mads and I are getting punished for laughing. Apparently we were testing the boundaries and we will face the consequences.
And right now we are experiencing them. Tanya is after me and Ronaldo is after Maddy, they have metal sticks and they are chasing us around trying to hit us with them. I cry in pain as Tanya takes her first hit. I look over at mads who is surprisingly out running Ronaldo.
She was the winner of cross country at our school and was the only one who made it to regionals, tears drown my top as I cry uncontrollably watching also Ronaldo getting his first hit. She is my best friend which makes me even more to see her getting hurt.
Again Tanya takes another hit but this time at my head and as far as I can remember I become unconscious.
