I walked towards a stall on the road and bought an apple from an old woman. I flashed her a smile and left to other stalls. Today was the day all the stalls are up and The Government will coming any day now to catch more poor innocent people. My Friend, Lucy disappeared a few years ago. I miss her deeply but once your captured, you never come back.

Some people say that they torture you and drug you. Others say they make you suffer the must painful deaths. Other people say they control you. They could be all right or they could all be wrong. My Mother and Father died when I was young. I grew up with my Aunt and Uncle until they passed away two years ago. My two siblings disappeared and now I'm pretty much an orphan.

Someone bashed into me causing me to drop all my shopping. I looked at the guy and he kept walking. "Asshole." I mumbled and picked it up bags. I looked in my bag to see my milk bottle broken. I sighed deeply and threw the bag along with the bottle away.

I gathered my things and headed to another stall. I looked to see a bit of everything. Since it was chilly out I bought a dark red leather jacket and took off the price tags and wore it. I was currently wearing a simply grey t-shirt, my new jacket, some skinny jeans and white and gold adidas.

I looked up at the sky and clouds had formed. It began to rain. I cursed under my breath and ran into Molly's Café. A few others had the same idea as me and entered as well. I waited in line and ordered a black coffee with a sandwich. I paid the man behind the counter. He looked about in his mid twenties. He was tall, fair haired, Raven eyes and sorta built. I thanked him and went to find a table. I found one in the far end corner and sat down and drank my coffee.

I ate my sandwich. It tasted so good. I let a moan escape my lips and ate the rest of it. A tall guy, probably six foot came over to me. "Sorry to bother you, can I sit here?" He asked. I smiled and nodded. He thanked me and sat down and fished out his phone. He began playing on it or started texting someone. Rude.

Not once did he look up from his phone. He was glued to it. I drank my coffee and rolled my eyes. People these days. I pulled my right sleeve up and looked at the time. It was 3pm. I sighed and got up and dumped my rubbish in the trash can. The guy didn't even bother to say bye. People these days.

I exited the Café and it was still raining. I shrugged to myself and began to ran up my shopping bags in my hand. After about two blocks I stopped running. I just walked in the rain. Not even a hoodie. I'm very sensible. Stupid weather woman, told me on tv it was going to be sunny today.

The rain got heavier and it got harder to see. I huffed and ran to the end of the block and looked at the directions. I was a few minutes away from home. I looked to my right to see an alleyway. It was a shortcut. I ran into the alleyway and I almost fell. Almost.

I regained my balance and sped walked. As I exited the Alleyway a hand clamped over my mouth muffling my screams. I tried shoving the guy off but he was to strong. My cried of help were muffled. I bit him. He yelled and He picked me up and threw me into what looked like a metal box with bars and locked the door. I landed with a hard thud Onto the cold metal floor.

I looked around and saw a few others in the cage. I went into a corner and pulled my knees close to my chest and hugged them. "Where are we going? What's happening?" A little girl asked probably around five. I think I know where we're going but I'm not sure.

"Where just going to a different place." I said to her. She looked at me. "What kind of place?" She asked. I didn't want to give the kid false hope and make her cry. "Just a new place, a dry one." I said. The little girl smiled. I returned one. It's wrong to take children, never mind adults, if we are where I think we're going well then that's just god damn low to experiment on children.

The little girl sat next to me. "What's your name?" I asked her. "Sarah, what's yours?" She asked. "I'm Natalie, nice to meet you Sarah." I said. "Nice to meet you too." She said with a smile. I smiled back and scrutinised her. She was wearing a red poke a dotted dress with a ribbon going around it and some flats and her brown hair was tied up into a ponytail.

She shivered. I took off my jacket and gave it to her. "Won't you be cold?" She asked looking at me. "You need it more then me." I said. "Thank you." She said and wrapped it around herself. I smiled. I hugged myself and did my best not to shiver. The Cage jolted and I landed hard on my butt. "Ow." I muttered.

Sarah had fallen asleep on me with her head on my lap. I zipped my jacket up on her and she stirred a little. I put my arm around her. I wish she wasn't in here with us. She doesn't deserve to go to this place and never see her family again. I looked around the cage and saw more girls and a few boys. I kept Sarah close to me. Any one of them could be perverts.

The guy across from me grinned at me. I gave him a puzzled look. He nodded down at Sarah and I grinned back. The cage jolted again. Most likely because of a pot hole. Sarah woke up and rubbed her eyes. "Will I see my family and dog again?" She asked me. I looked down at her.

"In time you will." I said smiling sadly. "Tell me about your family." I said. Trying to keep her busy and not to focus on where we were going.

"Well I have Four Brothers and Five sisters, there all grown up." She said. "What are there names?" I asked. "Charlie, Bob, Ryder, Dylan, Thea, Nina, Christiana, Riley and Ashley." She said. Jesus nine siblings. "What's your dogs name?" I asked. "Well I have six dogs, there names are, Sawyer, Tyler, Max, George, Hannah and Sailor." She said. She must be rich.

"Aww cute and how old are they?" I asked. "There all puppies expect for Tyler and Hannah, there going to breed sooner or later." She said. Only if she knew what they do.

Sarah handed me back my Jacket. "You keep it, your cold." I said trying my best not to shiver. "You need it more then I do." She said. I flashed her a smile and she handed me my jacket and I put it on and zipped it up. I put my arm around her and kept her warm.

We came to a stop. Bright lights shine on us. I squinted my eyes. Doors banged. Someone opened the cage. "Out!" He yelled. The people before us slowly got out. Me and Sarah went last. I went first and helped her out. "Stay close to me." I whispered to her. She nodded her head. "Move!" The guy ordered. They had guns on them. They were tranquilliser guns.

We didn't move at first. "Move or get shot." Another hissed. We looked at them and began to move onwards. I grabbed Sarah's hand and we walked behind the others. We came to a building that was lit up and the men pushed us in the door. I gulped.

I looked around and saw people in lab coats. I looked into Windows but curtains were drawn. I'm going to die in here aren't I?
