Captured in Time

Chapter 1: Saved and Taken

        It's early way before dawn when l head out. The only thing producing l light is the street light high above me. I feel like there is no energy in my body, but l keep walking. I look behind me to see nothing and no one, though I swear I hear footsteps and my name being whispered by no one familiar. A chill goes down my back, and I start running. I glance behind myself and see a shadow ( of course it's not mine). Someone's following me. I come to a dead end. No where to go. No where to run. I'm trapped.

I have super good feeling I should turn back and run as fast as I can back the way I came. That way, I will hopefully run past the person who is following me and he won't know what hit 'em. But what is keeping me from doing that is there could be more guys waiting for me and that is just what they're expecting me to do. I realize I have been thinking for a while. The man is way closer than before. I can make out a shadow of a gun in his hand. What does he want from me? He is about 7 feet away now. I get ready and close my eyes.This is it. This is the end. Suddenly I get pulled to the side just as he pulls the triger. The bullet makes a crack in the place I was. Before he can make another shot at shooting me, I'm gone. With the light from the streetlights, I can see who I'm running with. It's a man. A man with short brown hair and brown eyes. He isn't much taller than me so we must be close in age. Finally, we stop at a shiny black R.V.. He hasn't said a word to me yet and still doesn't until he gets into the drivers seat. " Get in," he says in a low voice. I'm confused. I know he saved my life and all but still I'm not gonna get in his car. " What?" I say back. " Get in," he says again. For all I know this guy could be working for the guy with the gun and they planned this whole thing. " You want me to get in your car?!" " YES NOW GET IN THE CAR!" He says angerly.

Without thinking, I get into the front seat of the car. He puts the keys in, slams on the peddle, and the car automatically starts to drive.I dont know if I should start up another conversation. But I do have a lot of questions like 'who are you' and 'where are you taking me?'. As if he's reading my mind he says, "I know you must have a lot of questions but there is no time to answer them." There is a pause of silence before he starts talking again. " Hey, let's start this thing over. I'm Rory Johnson.'' he says. " Nolan, James Nolan." I say back. " I know who you are.My boss told me all about you and sent me to come and get you. We need your help James. Our people need you" He says. Have I told you it's been a very bumpy ride? We finish crossing a bridge and then it gets really bumpy. Where is he taking me? I've never even seen this road before! Suddenly, Rory starts driving faster and faster. Out of no where, there is a big flash and we vanish.
