I know nothing about my parents, my family, the world, or the light. All i know is that my name is Anna, and i had three sisters before i was abducted at the age of two, my twenty first birthday is in six months, i got away and had been living in New York for the past year, now i'm here in California, hoping to find a new life where nobody knows me, thats good but the bead thing is that nobody knows me.
I stood at the door to the clubs entrance, it was about elleven o'clock and i am still trying to figure out why i was even here."Happy Birthday, Now Elizabeth don't forget you promised me that you would at least hook up with a guy before you turn twenty one, and your birthday is tomorrow so tonight is the night, go get 'dem guys." there was a big group of about twenty people standing in the corner of the bar. Elizabeth, i knew an Elizabeth, my sister i had no idea what she looked like, just a photo of us when we were little, and it was torn, i wasn't in it. the man that abducted me said that he would give my family back the one piece that had me in it, and oh how i hope he did. there were so many little regrets i had, about saying certian things to my sisters, i didn't say much but the way i looked at them, they should have known that i loved them and now it was to late. The only lighting in the room was the colored lights from the dance floor and the lighting from the bar. I watched another girl with blond hair give Elizabeth a hug, "Happy birthday sis." she took out her i phone and took a selfie, they were sisters, you could tell just by looking at them, they both had long wavy hair and they both were very tan. After a while a tall brown headed man asked her to dance, they must not have known each other because they had a friendley introduction. i decided that i had had enough of just sitting there, i was going to have some fun. Elizabeth and her mystery guy had made it over to make out central near the restrooms while the sister had found a guy of her own, wherever i went one of them were always in my veiw. "Omigod, i'm so sorry." i must have zoned out for a few seconds after watching the rest of the group filter out into couples, because someone had bumped into me and spilt his champane all over my new outfit, "It's fine." Imediatlly i reconized him, "Hey your with that big group arn't you, the one with someone named Elizabeth?" he nodded, "Yeah, i men it's hard to miss we are pretty loud, anyways i'm Aaron." he held out his hand for me to shake it, "I'm Anna." He smiled, "Hey look, come back to the house with me, that big group you saw me with you see we all live together and Elizabeth looks like she is your size." I shook my head, "No, it's fine, trust me, counting it's just on the jacket and i didn't really care about it but thanks anyways." he hesitated for a moment than smiled, "Are you sure." i smiled and nodded while taking off my jacket, "Yeah, and it's leather so it wont stain as easy." we decided to go over out of the way for other people and sat at the table by the bar, "I haven't seen you here before, you new?" i noddd, "Yeah, actually i just moved here from New York about two days ago, so i don't really know that many people." i noticed that he was muscular and buff, but not to buff, more like Luke from pitch perfect, he was wearing a nice acid wash light and dark grey leather jacket, "So, why California, i mean you had New York." i raised my eyebrows, "Well you see New York is amazing but i didn't like the fact that everyone knew me." i could tell that Aaron found that quite odd, "New Yorks a big place, how could everybody know you?" i didn't want to mention the truth, not when i could start over, "Oh you know just get around a lot." he smiled, "Well if you change your mind just look for a large group of people." he smiled and i chuckled and noded, "Ok." i decided that it was getting late and it would be nice to try and find a place to stay for the night, i mean i wasnt planning on going all the way back to New York, there was to much there. i made my way back through the back alley way because i didn't want to be stopped anymore by anyone else, or spill anybody elses drink, as i was making my way to the back door i nnoticed that someone was following me, he looked awfully familure, i made my way to the back door when i decided to stop and see if i reconized them truley or not. "a little far from home are we?" sure enough i reconized him, "Your brother let me go, and he said you would not be bothering me anymore." he smirked, "You see my brother isn't the one who took you in the first place, he said that he would kill me if i came after you again, but you made it oh so easy, you fleed New York, and came here, yet you are still in New York, your face is everywhere." he started to cough, "Your dying." i noticed blood on his snow white sleve, "That's why i need to come and fetch you tonight, i want to die with someone i love beside me, and you are the only one who ever noticed me." i could feel my heart start to race, he was begining to attract attention, "Let's take this outside." i shook my head, "no, i'm fine in here, and so are you." he grabed me by the wrist and started pulling me to the opposite exit and dragged me out to the front where no one could see, "Here, you wanted outside, so now were outside." he smiled and steped even closer to me. He started to unbutton his shirt, "Come on, you know what we have to do, after all we havent seen each other in three years, ive missed you." i grunted at him, "All you missed was my body." he smiled, "Ahh yes, but i do say remember i have taken your life for eighteen years, i will gladly do it again." he tried to slip my shirt off so i punnched him but he grabed my ankle and dragged me to the ground with him. just then someone came running out the front entrance, "Get off her you perv." i reconzed the voice, "Aaron." i gave a lifless mumble as the security guards came out Aaron had came over to me as he let Jason become the security guards problem, "Sorry about your boyfriend, i guess he's just a little drunk." i just shook my head without saying words while he helped me up until i ws standing and looking into his eyes, "He's not my boyfriend." fear went into his eyes, "But he said that you had been away from him for three years, so i guess that you have been like friends since about three or younger and have eventually dated or something." i smiled at him i knew he just wanted to help, "No he's not my boyfriend, and we never dated." he just stayed silent for along while, "You going to take me up on my offer now?" i nodded, "Let's go." then he suprised me by picking me up basket style, "What are you doing?" he shrugged, "Your ankle is bruised and bleeding, i will forbid you from walking on it. " i looked down at my ankle, "I'm fine, an just be happy that i accepted your offer." he smiled as we had reached his car, "Now will you put me down?" he nodded and put me down, "Nice ride." i slipped into the passangers seat of his sleek black mercedes benz with white leather seats, "Thanks, Elizabeth picked it out she said her sister always wanted a car like this, so i decided hey i'll get a car so her sister will be with us." i ran my hand down the interior, i remember when i was two all my sisters would talk about what cars they wanted so i decided to pick one out too, all of their's were either some crazy color like hot pink or lime green but all i wanted was a car like the great gatsby sort of, our parents would sit us down every friday and watch it with us, that was our favoriate movie. "I have a sister named Elizabeth, she was the eldest, then there was Azle, they were the eldest then it was me and when i was one Jane, my other sister was born." his pupils diolated, and eyes widened as the car came to a holt, "Anna." He stayed silent, "Your Anna." he said it more as a statment, i nodded, "You are just about to make me the best birthday gift giver of all time." he smiled and continued driving.
When we stopped again it was because we had reached our destination, "Here we are." the house was huge, the outside was made of black glass and water ran down the outside into a little creek that ran down to the river in the back, it was three stories tall and had a nice sleek vibe like the city to it, the steps were white and long, the front doors were huge, as wide as the steps. "Nice place." as i walked up the large steps i could start to see inside the house it was bright, the black and white theme carried in from the outside, it was an open floor plan. as we actually went inside i could see even more, the steps were just like the ones on the outside, the kitchen had white cabnets with black counters, the dinnning room table was lite with lights from underneath the textured glass, the lounge area had a large flat screen and surround sound built in, the atire was leather, either black or white. there was a chair that was black with an off white stripe going down the middle. "Anna go sit on the couch, in the middle, the one by the fire place." i nodded as he sprinted up the stairs, the fire place was large and had black glass brick as a mantle, with clear white going as the floor, there was a nice white plush carpet laying on the black wooden floor, it was nice and warm. the lights were hanging from the celing then there were silver ones on the wall as in a fancy high dollar movie theater. "Here we are." He came and sat beside me with a first aid kit in his hand, "Now once we get you all fixed up were going to watch a movie and wait for the rest of the gang to get back, i texted Elizabeth and told her i have a suprise for her and to bring everyone back soon." he began to bandage my ankle with an ice pack, "Aaron i am perfectly fine, lets just pop some kettle corn and watch a movie." we store each other down, "Fine, i'll go get the pop corn." he got up and tossed a few movies at me before exiting towards the kitchen, "What's up with all of these, don't you have any good movies?" he laughed through the open bar and moved so i could see him, "You don't like chick flicks? i mean i figured since you were a girl that you wouldn't like any of the movies i like." i got up and walked to the kitchen, "And what are these ssaid movies that since im a girl i wont like?" He grabbed the bowl of pop corn, "Well for one, horror, you will always scream when mr. hot stuff dies, and you will scream in fear also, when ever someone jumps." he took a hand full of popcorn and shoved half of it in his mouth as he threw the other half at me, "Oh and what do you do?" i threw popcorn back at him and grabed the other bowl and started acting, "No, no don't open the door, don't open it." i threw popcorn at him again, "Then scream when the open the actual door?" a look of astonishment came on his face, "Well at least i don't route for certian people to die and cry when they end up dying." i pretended to be taken aback, "Oh and what do you do pretend your the hot guy who rescues the pretty damsil in distress?" he eyed me, then a light came from outside, "Ohh there here, go sit down, where i told you to."
He went to the front steps and waited outside for them, "Birthday girl and sisters sit in the couch beside my lovley new friend, who will not tell anyone her name until i say so, and sisters dont speak a word of your name either." following Aaron came seventeen people, most were muscular tan guys but then towards the end came some females, seven to be exact, three of them sat down on the couch, one being Elizabeth, who was sitting next to the girl who i came to know as her sister from earlier, then sat another one, all three had long blond hair, two of them had blue eyes, the third who i had not seen before had brown eyes, her hair was pin straight, like mine, where Elizabeths was wavy as well as the other who i had seen earlier. once everyone was seated Aaron spoke again, "Ok i am just going to say this once, and Elizabeth you will say your name then the second eldest, then you." He was motining towards the one that i had seen take a picture with Elizabeth earlier, "And then i want to see how you react then you can tell them you name." he smiled and clasped his hands together, "Ohh wait, just want to tell you this is a birthday present to Elizabeth but i am pretty sure you will all want to know this." he took a breath and pointed to Elizabeth, "well i mean i'm Elizabeth but i think you allready knew that from him saying my name a thousand times." Aaron smiled, "Oh, well youll see why, and i needed to make sure it was in order to." then the one who took a selfie earlier spoke up, "I'm Jane, but i mean i think i should have gone before Elizabeth because i am way more important." she smiled and everybdy laughed, except for me, instead i spoke, "Aaron if that girl says her name is Azle you know what that means right?" I am pretty sure that just confused everybody because everyone began to whisper, sure enough the last one stood up, "Aaron why did we need to say our names if she allready knew them?" my eyes filled with happiness as i looked at Aaron, "Thank you so much for spilling your champane on me." i gave him a hug and he smiled, "Aaron." Azle hit him in his forearm, "Why would you spill your drink on this lovley girl, and i still want to know her name but still why would you do such a thing?" he didn't respond he just backed up and spoke five words, "You are so very welcome." then he directed his attention to the three girls, "Anna."
