"An abommination"

                      5 years later
Chapter 1:
(Whispers) "Annalyn...Annalyn...come on now wake up."
I slowly turned to the other side of my bed. I looked up at her even though my vision was blurry one thing was perfectly clear that look on her face was...it was concern. For what? I thought. Why would she be concerned?
"Mother, what's wrong?" I said the concern spreading to my face.
"Just come." She said gesturing for me to follow her. I nodded and took the blankets off of me and set them on the bed. I pushed myself up and onto the floor. She wouldn't say anything.
"Mother, what's going on! Mother?" I realized why she was so terrified, when we made our way to our stairs. I looked at the two soldiers at my door with their uniforms and guns.
"Are you Annalyn Kopperton?" One soldier asked. I slowly walked down the stairs my hand on the handrail
"Yes, I am her." I said as I made my way off of the stairs and to the door. Next to my mother's side.
"Annalyn Kopperton you must come with us." One soldier said, as he turned to me.
"I'm sorry what?" I said confused.
"We have been ordered to take you by president Allans."
"Why? My daughter has done nothing wrong here. She attends Wexford High with a 3.8 GPA, and has done nothing against the law." My mother said.
"General Marshal has requested to speak with Annalyn Kopperton."
Horror ran through me. Would that really take me away? What had I done?
My thoughts were disrupted. When I felt my mother push me behind her.
"Annalyn Kopperton must be taken by force if will."
I looked around and realized that my father stood beside me.
"What's matter here?" He asked as he walked closer to the door.
"President Allans has ordered us to take Annalyn Kopperton. We are only here to ensure your safety. She is a threat to you and everyone." The soldier said. I looked to my mother I could see the anger swelling inside her. She looked like she could blow up.
"How is she a threat? You really believe my own daughter is a threat to me and our family?" I reached over and touched mother on the arm. I gave her a face of concern. And she calmed down.
"She is an abomination! Our orders are very clear." I could see the tension in the room as if it were actually visible. I saw the soldiers turn to each other. I watched as they nodded then stormed into the house and grabbed ahold of me very tight.
I screamed. I tried to twist out of their grasp and pry myself free. As I was trying I slipped and fell to the floor the soldier still holding onto me. He was dragging me across the floor.
I heard a doors fly open and three boys ran out. Toby 17, Peyton 13, Daniel 8.
"What in the name of my father on high is happen?" Toby yelled. He ran down the stairs and tried to pry the soldier's hand off of my wrist.
"Mother? Father? Why? Hey stop it! Leave her alone!" I heard the voice of Peyton say.
Toby was shoved to the ground by the soldier and he was jerking me out of the house. I was trying so hard to free myself even though I knew it was no use.
They made me stand and were rushing me out.
"Wait Annalyn come back!" I heard Daniel yell.
When they had forced me outside I had realized how much security they had.
There were 3 vehicles each one had at least 4 soldiers guarding it. Then there were soldiers guarding them in a semi circle around them. All of them holding guns looking as if they could shoot you if you got one step out of line.
As we walked I noticed that they were pulling me towards the vehicle in the middle. As they pulled me I turned back to my house. 2 soldiers had already taken a position at my house holding my family back. I watched as everyone tried to squeeze through.
No! Let them go! wanted to scream.
I was so lost in my thoughts I had almost had not seen that Daniel had broken through them and was running straight for me.
"Annalyn! Annalyn! Wait!" He yelled.
"Daniel. Daniel!" I yelled back I watched as two soldiers ran up to him and caught him by the arm and were holding him above the ground and were carrying him back to the house. Letting him kick and cream.
"No! Leave...! him...! be!" Rage built with in me. "Leave!..Him!..Alone!" I couldn't control it any more. I squirmed one hand free and punched the soldier in the nose who held my other arm. Then I turned to the one who I squirmed my arm from. I kicked him as hard as I could right in the groin. He let go off me to.
I ran to Daniel. I kicked one of the soldiers, who was holding him, in the back of the knees, which made him fall to the ground. The other soldier turned around and tried to punch me. He scrapped his glove on my face which drew blood. I tried prying him off of Daniel. I started to punch him. That didn't really work because he had protective gear. I pulled up his shirt and looked at Daniel and pointed to my teeth with my tongue. Daniel nodded and placed his teeth on him and bit as hard as he could. The soldier dropped him and stumbled back holding his arm. You could see blood. Just to make sure he would leave us alone I kicked him in the groin as well.
I turned to Daniel and picked him off the ground and gave him a tight hug. I leaned over to his ear and whispered.
"Tell everyone I love them. Keep Mother and father sane and help them. Promise? Don't give them any problems ok? Promise?"
"I promise Annalyn"
I hugged him even tighter.
"I will be back. I promise. I love you Daniel."
I could have stayed there forever hugging him. Seconds later hands were peeling us apart. For the seconds I hugged him I would remember it for an eternity.
They pulled us apart and two soldiers were on both of us. Holding me back by my arms.
"You made me a promise!" I yelled as he was taken and forced into the house. The soldiers were pulling me back trying to move more swiftly. I don't need to see to know that my mother and father had tear soaked cheeks. I could see the anger on Toby's face even from so far away.
"I love you!" I said before they shoved me into the car. I watched them till the became a blur. And it didn't help that I couldn't stop crying. You get good at crying quietly when you have to. I sniffled.
"What do you plan to do with me?" I asked. Everyone sat quiet from a moment till I asked again. "What do you plan to do with me?!" I said angrier. Finally the soldier in the passenger seat answered.
"Our orders are to take you to speak with General Marshal."
"I know you're lying you aren't very good and it's written all over your face." The soldier's face turned to confusion. "I ask you again. "What do you plan to do with me?""
"We are taking you.."
"STOP LYING!" I yelled. "It's so hard for you isn't it."
I decided that I would show him he was lying. I turned to him and stared at him right in the eyes.
"Hmm. My turn. Are you here cause you couldn't get a job?" I was reading him. "No that's not it." I stared at him deeper and got closer to his face. "At you here to support your family?" I watched as his expression slightly changed. "So why the need for the extra cash?... ohh... is it for mommy?" I asked dropping my accent going to my best American. I was mocking him and he knew it and it felt good. "I wonder what kind of monster she would think you are if she finds out about you." I was inside his head. When sadness is your life you learned how to manipulate it and use it.
I looked at the soldiers to the sides of me they looked impressed as if i had guessed completely right.
"Now you" I said as I turned to the one on my left. "Let's see. Mommy?" His expression turned from stone to sadness. "Ohh.. I am sorry for your loss...Daddy?... ohh wow! Eeeshh! Some serious daddy issues you got there." He was a little harder to read but he still was letting me in. "Special someone?...oh wow you have no one no wonder why you are here."
I turned to the other soldier. "How about you?"
"Parents?... Yep both of them." I stared at him deeply. "Oh that's nice they are not divorced. Let's see married?... ohh yes... Children?.." his expression was harder to read so questioned. "Not yet... well congratulations. Now I am intrigued...hmmmmm? Boy or Girl?...awww a girl. Hope you will be there when the time comes. You know it's very important to be there. I wonder how far along is she?" I got really close to him which made him very uncomfortable.
"1?...2?...3?...4?..." I grew more with anticipation and the numbers went higher. "5?...6?...7?!...8?!...no not 8,7. 7 months wow!?" I said sarcastically.
I could see that he was getting frustrated and angry.
"Oh lookie here now! Your angry! How do you think I feel! You ripped me from my family! How can you live with yourself?!... " I turned away from him and to the position where I faced forwards. "Better yet.i threw my hands in the air. How can any of you live with yourselves?!"
I turned back to him. "Picture me this I want you to see your daughter. She's smart, she's beautiful, she makes the right decisions, she has her life ahead of her. Now see this. My voice broke and I started to tear up. she is ripped from you and also picture your other children running after her screaming for there sister to come back. 'Please come back. Where are you going? Don't leave?'
Every soldiers expression softened from their sternness.
"Imagine that!"
After that I broke. I could help it the tears came and they wouldn't stop. I pulled my knees together to my chest wrapped my arms around them laied my head down and cried. I cried harder than I had ever cried before.
The car was completely silent. No one made a sound.
I remember mother and father, I remember Toby, Peyton, and Daniel. I cried while in my head ran the death of everyone in family but Daniel.
8 and already so much pain.
Then the vehicle stopped.
