When the rain falls⚡

Chapter 3

I sat by myself at a table in Starbucks sipping my green tea frappe with extra cream. I had been in town the whole day, I'd bought some clothes and I'd visited the library as I thought out what I could do. I'd decided on not telling anyone about last night, I hadn't informed police and nobody knew about the disappearance. I intended to keep it that way. That is until after I fail at trying to find them.

I sighed. My plan was crazy and impossible, it didn't even make sense. I groaned inwardly and stood up taking my tea and stepping out of the shop into the crisp cold air. The sun was setting and the shops all along the street were closing up for the night. I looked down the nearly deserted street and wondered where i was going to stay.

That's when I see it.

A suspicious black car drives slowly across the road from me. It's much to fancy to be anybody around here's car and I don't recognize the brand, it looks like a wolf head with a nasty snarl and huge fangs dripping blood. The brand creeps me out. Must be some foreign car, but I have no idea what it's business could be in a small town like this. It rounds a corner and disappears from view behind a big dark abandoned looking building. I wonder for a moment, whether it would be safe to sleek over to the car. If its in town then it could be my family's kidnappers, or for all I know, murderers.

Curiosity wins over and I dart across the road and stealthily sneak around the building. I hear voices and the slam of a car door. I carefully peer around the corner.

Two figures stand beside the car, cloaked and shadowy and I can't see their faces. The first figure is big and buff looking, with wide shoulders and a height over 6'feet. The second figure is familiar. Tall and slender with a long dark cloak that swirled in the wind.

That figure!!! It was the one from last night! I kept quiet and tried to catch their words. The bigger figure spoke with a husky male voice," I told you he ain't gonna be happy" he grumbled. "Why! I have them all here no harm done to them!" the second figure whinnied in a smooth female voice. "The girl wasn't supposed to see you!", the male one grumbled, "she might tell the police". My eyes widened, they were talking about me!

I tried to see their faces, but all I could see was the cloaks. The car looked just big enough to fit my family.I had to get closer. I moved a little as I tried to position myself better. I hit the bin with my foot and it made a metallic clanging sound. I winced and prayed that they hadn't heard. "someone's here I thought you said noone could see this building " the female screamed as footsteps approached. I lept up and bolted back down the alley and onto the street. All stores were closed and I had nowhere to hide. "It's the girl". Without looking back I ran almost getting hit by a car. I wove my way through the streets trying to lose the figures following me. I had just ran down a dark alley, when a door opened I front of me and I was hauled inside.
