The day they came it was a normal day in Foxway Arizona. It was the middle of summer and quite humid. Summer  in Arizona is sticky. Your thighs stick to leather seating and plastic chairs. So they stick to pretty much every seat in Arizona.
I did enjoy my small little town. It had few things to do but I've always been one to keep my nose nuzzled in a book. Im the quiet one in the town were everyone knows one another. It's fine by me I prefer to have my books than go to the mall. The one mall in the town that is. I never really liked shopping any way. My friend didn't believe me that I didn't like shopping. So shes going to make me go later on today. I don't really care we can talk for a bit.
Her names Camil. She's a sweet girl. Her golden brown eyes always shimmered in the sunlight. She had hair that was always laid in a side part on the left side of her head. Her hair had some blonde highlights running through her naturally light brown hair. All of her features suited her. At least the guys in our high school thought so.
We had been best friends since 4th grade. She got on my nerves sometimes but everyone gets on my nerves sometimes. I have a short temper. People are always trying to push me past my limits. Its only happens once but I don't want to get into that.
It doesn't make sense. Why I like to read that is, there is one other person in the town that enjoys reading and that was the local librarian. I go there a lot. My favorite books are fiction. They allow me to get sucked into a new world. Since my name is as common as it is I've seen it in a couple of books. Emma that's my name there's nothing specual about it accept the fact it's mine. My name. My mother names me Emma because the name means whole. Since Im the youngest and last child I make the family whole.
Or at least that's what she told me. The name is so common that there are four other Emma's in our town. But im the only one with blonde hair in our town. Well blonde hair and different colored eyes. One of my eyes are a light green while the other is a brown.
I like my eyes they give me a sense of personality other people in the town dont have. Other people in our town all act the same. None of them like books, all of them are darker skinned, and none of them like me. I mean some do like me but it's not very often someone likes me. Sometimes I question if Camil likes me.
When I got out of bed to go shopping with Camil I knew today was going to be a long day. She came to pick me up in her purple corvette. She have gave me a warm smile as I walked to the passenger door bracing myself for the hour drive to go to the mall.
"I have to swing by grocery store first if that's okay with you." She said looking at me obviously waiting for an answer. I nodded. I can just go to the arcade while she shops.
When we arrived I went off to the arcade. After playing for about an hour I realized people were slowly getting taken out by what I could only guess was secerity.
Someone then grabbed my arm tightly. I looked up to see a man and he had a smirk as he dragged me out and onto a bus.
