Goodbye Life, Hello Kidnapped

        A weird van passed by, and I saw Mike Vanhousen outside. The van went to his house, was it a relative or maybe a cousin two times removed? Mike is my best friend with dirty blonde hair and eyes a brown with blue casuality. The van went into his driveway, and Mike looked weary so I started running toward him. The guy in the van came out, "Hey who are yo....", Mike was cut off short because he was thrown into a truck, the ones like vans. "Hey you jerk, where's my......ahh", I whimpered. My name is Melissa Thompson.

        "Now Mike and Melissa if you scream you get ducttape" the guy said stern. He looked like he was in his twenties or even 19. His hair made him look like an innocent moviestar, with some bold yet dark eyes. The guy was wearing some nice clotehs and a rolex so the guy must have some money, but why kidnap us?  Mike just turned 14 two months ago and I'm 13, about to turn 14. Mike yelled and yelled, so the guy stopped the car. Mike and I got blindfolds, hands tied, and mouths taped. Mike tried and tried to get away,but as I tried to get away I was a feather compared to a skyscraper. It felt like hours, maybe like ten but then I learned it was twelve hours. "Get them out, you wanted them", the guy yelled. "It's our family, wait......(Short pause) I thought this pickup was Mike you picked the boy first when I wanted Melissa" she pouted in a whimper, puckered lips. "Honey, Victoria she came to save Mike and grabbed both Mike and Melissa" he said happy. The girl screamed like I do when I get surprise vavation news.

        The car doors soon opened and I was yanked from Mike, she took of my blindfold. She had a dark brown, deceived as a black and dark eyes. She had enough makeup on for an army but yet she was pretty, looked about 18 or 20. Ahead, I saw a mansion like cabin, dirt roads, and trees all over mixed with the earthy smell I missed from camp. "Oh my, you are beautiful like the last time I saw you", wiping away the fake tears but careful not to wipe or smear any makeup. "I want Mike and I have never met you" I yelled. My blue eyes probably overpowered my face and my auburn hair, my eyebrows felt crinched. The girl ignored me as if I was just a mime and she was trying to understand me. The girl Victoria yanked me and opened a door to a room. The guy whose name I still didn't know had Mike, they threw us in a room and the door locked. The beds, walls, floors were black with no window and a dim light. We both gasped as pictures of us were placed above our beds. I saw pics of me that had come through my closet and pictures that were from other countries. On the other walls were pictures of another girl and boy we didn't know.

        I fell asleep to the sound of a fan, and the beeping came from an alarm clock which read 1:57 am. The door opened and we were still adjusting to the day even if the room was dark. "Melissa come here, or I will come get you myself" the guy threatened. I walked but still scared I was going to be murdered and the guy noticed, "We are not going to hurt you". I saw the girl at a table and the door was shut, the guy was not in sight. "Goodmorning, I needed to speak to you" Victoria with wide awake eyes. "Well I don't wanna talk, VICTORIA", it came out perfect, snarky! The girl didn't get the ego so she kept going, "I want to take you shopping" the girl clapped like a preppy school girl. It wasn't a choice as I was dragged and put into a convertable but yet the black van was gone. "Wait, Mike is at the house" I yelled.

"Calm down we locked all the doors and he will be fine but Ryan won't be back until tomorrow.

Ryan was the guys name, but I still wanted answers in why I was here. Also why was this girl taking me shopping, we went to a rich place called Regal.

"If you scream, or do anything to make a scene then you will be punished", too stern for the girl who was so preppy this morning. She got me a dress with blue and green checkers looking like an academy outfit, a purple dress with ruffles as to where the collar was. I got about fifty dresses and a few skirted outfits, tights in all the colors, many jewels and earrings, expensive sunglasses, high heels, and even some black side buckle shoes.

"I am gonna be a girl and ask for pajamas, slippers and possibly a bathrobe", out of all things that is what I asked for.

"We are going right now, this is filled with everything for that occasion", boy was she right because I had to get purses too.

"Am I a Barbie doll?"

No answer to the question I wanted to know, and hours later we left. The clock in the car said it was only 3:45 AM. I was still in the dark to why she was buying me all this stuff. I wanted to go back and see Mike, hoping he was ok and better off alone. She sat me down and put a new chair in, the fuzzy saucer kind which was pink. "That is for the use of Melissa only, anyone else is to be punished and you are lucky if I am the one giving the punishment", pointing the finger at Mike like he was the kidnapper.The day went by as we sat alone but we didn't speak, all too in shock when we were told we were not staying in the area but to somewhere far off. We were both afraid we would never see our families again as my darkest fears came to light and I would never see the people I came to know ever again!
