Scared

     I can sense light. My eyes open slowly. I'm still in the tent, the man is in the corner, a smile plastered on his face. everything's quiet until the leader bursts in and grabs my arm.

      "Hey what are you-"? He pushed me sharply outside. Everyone's gathered around a small family. Their faces filled with worry, as we got closer i noticed that the family was crying and the girl I saw from earlier was with them, her face buried in her mother's neck.

     "What happened?" I wondered. Before i can think any further i feel a sharp pain in my back and i fall hard onto a covered wagon.

     Next i heard shouting and the wagon started to move.

     The crying girl broke free from he mother's grasp and ran towards the wagon.

     For the first time i noticed that someone else was here with me, it was the boy! I watched as he crawled to the back of the wagon to reach the girl. For a moment thier hands touched but the girl was pushed aside by the men. The boys face crumbled as he watched the girl slowly stand, her lips sticky and red, her eyes gushing with tears.

                                                 --------------------

     The wagon was mostly quiet after that, until I decided to speak."I'm sorry," I said quietly, he just stared at the floor. "Was she your sister?" The boy took something out of his coat and held it out to me, it was a book. "She gave it to me before she was pushed back." He said in almost a wisper I carefully took it, it was the book I got from Zandra. "Thank you," I whispered, "what's your name?" He looked up.

"Gavin Alice, my sisters name's Rachel." 

"So that girl was your sister?" He nodded.

      In the silence that followed I had a chance to think. "What's going to happen to Gavin and I?" "Were are they taking us?" "Will anyone care that I'm gone?" My thoughts swirled in my head as I drifted off to the dream scape.
