My Scary New World

Taken

Word count 2272

Have you ever been in a situation where you felt completely and utterly helpless. No matter how strong you are or if you have a weapon- which I don't, but I can't do anything.

I can't protect my family. I never got in a fight at school, and I had three adults holding them hostage while one of them was holding me.

I'm the oldest. I'm the oldest, and it's my job as the protector of this house to do something when harm is being inflicted.

Tony, Eric, Matt, Brieanna, and Samantha are on the couch with Cath, so all I ha-

I suddenly feel arms snake around my waist from behind, and I jump from being brought back from my plans.

"Don't even think about it."

I rolled my eyes. He's right he can read my mind, as impossible as that sounds, I still have to believe the unbelievable. Especially when so much is in line.

"What do you want from me?" I whispered. All of their eyes were on mine. The mixtures of brown and green, pleading.

"To come with me, and go to Gerver willingly with no problems." Its taking me everything to not turn around and punch the living shit out of him. I don't want to have to go willingly, but what choice do I have? I have to protect my own, even if it means sacrificing myself. It became not even a choice.

Suddenly the guy that was near my family busted out laughing. "That's it? Just let Gerver have what he wants? I think we should do a little something more with Gervers... prize." He looked at me licking his lips. I started squirming uncomfortable with the turn of events. "I mean we are the ones who is doing most of the work... I don't see why we wouldn't take advantage of that."

Suddenly I see Tony look at me intensely his face is red with anger. I narrowed my eyes at him. Don't do anything stupid. Tony was known for being a little trouble maker from day one. As much as I tried working with him to try and containing it for a period of time, I never asked him to hold it in just don't take it out on the person at the moment. Lets hope he will listen.

But before I could display, any sort of thought he shot up and charged at the man who was taken back by the sudden threat. Oh no.

"You won't touch her!" Tony shouted tackleing him but before he can get a punch on the man, he flipped Tony and now had him in a choke hold in a blur.

I'm struggling against the guy who has me. "no stop! He's only a child. Let him go!"

I dug my nails in Blondie arm, making him grunt, but his hold on me was still strong.

"You didn't honestly think you can take me down did you, little buddy?" He laughed.

The girls are crying and Matt and Eric are both being comforted by Cath.

"I'm not your little buddy, I'm fifteen." He said defensively.

I was still struggling against this blondie. Please don't do anything to him I prayed.

I froze when the guys hold on Tony tightened. "Who put you in a high position to talk back to me?" The guy said angrily.

Tony didn't answer as his face started turning red slowly, but surly. He was clawing at the guy who held him.

I moaned panicked. Tony made eye contact with me as tears stringed down his face. I looked at the others and all of them were frozen with surprise.

Suddenly my body started to heat up with anger, and I started shaking. Who do these people think they are to hurt my loved ones? I'm breathing heavily. No one, No one! Hurts the people I love especially since their here because of me. My family isn't dieing because of me having any involvement, especially in the hands of the likes of these people. Their not dieing period!
