Kidnapped

Reliving memories that you dont want to relive

 This. Was. The. Worst. Day. Of. My. Life.

          When Raven and the others finally caught me running around and screaming my head off, they pulled me to a small little house right next to the water. Inside, there was a little old-fashioned kitchen that looked like it hadn’t been touched for generations, a little living room and stairs.

          “I swear to God if I see one more spider I will literally jump into the water and drown myself,” I said, still shaking.

          “Calm down,” Raven said. He led me into the living room where Kayla and Harry, who were wet, and Liam, who looked shaken up, were sitting.

          “Hey!” Kayla said. “You look like crap.”

          I kind of wanted to kill her. “Go die in a hole,” I said.

          “Geez, what’s your issue?” Kayla said.

          “We’ll see you guys in the morning!” Raven said, leaving.

          “What about food!” Liam called.

          “Seriously Marisa, what happened?” Liam said as I sat next to him.

          “I……. had to……be in a box……with a million spiders……crawling all over me….”

          Kayla fell onto the ground, laughing.

          “Seriously, I am going to murder you,” I said. “Lemme guess, you guys had to jump off a cliff?”

          “Yeah budd,” Kayla said nodding.

          “Life is so cruel,” I murmured. “What did you have to do, Liam?” I asked.

          “Fight like ten snakes,” He said. “Not fun.”

          “But it sounds better than yours,” Kayla said, still laughing. I punched her in the arm. “Owie.”

          “Okay, I’m going to take a shower, I’ll probably be in there for like the rest of my life.” I headed up the rickety wooden stairs and surveyed upstairs. There were two bedrooms with two beds each and a small bathroom.

          “Please no spiders please no spiders…..” I said as I stepped into the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror. I actually didn’t look as bad as I thought, probably because I had really low standards after being kidnapped last year.

          When I got out of the shower I went back downstairs to see Liam making mac-and-cheese and Kayla and Harry playing cards.

          I walked over to Liam. “I wonder what else they are going to make us do,” I told him.

          “No idea,” He said, taking my hand. “But we’ll get through it.”

          I nodded and smiled. “Anything’s better than sp….I can’t even say the word anymore.”

          Raven came into the cabin the next morning. “So,” he said, “Since Kayla and Harry seemed to enjoy their challenge yesterday I have something harder for them. Liam and Marisa, come with me, Harry and Kayla, go with Jean.” Raven said.

          “What do we gotta do?” Harry asked.

          “Todays the mental challenge day. Liam and Marisa have it simpler, since they had hard ones yesterday. Marisa has to take this math test and every time she gets a problem wrong she gets zapped. Liam has to stay in a room by himself for seven hours with nothing to do,” Jean said.
