THE TELLYS COMPANY

Part One

"Mom! Make sure the doors locked when you leave!" I yell before I hear the front door slam. I sigh and resume packing my boxes for college which is only a few days away. Am I dreading it just a bit? Of course.

Four years for a bachelors degree in something I'll be doing for the rest of my life. Exciting? Eh. Scary? Hell yeah.

Thank god I found amazing scholarships to help pay for schooling. Debt would've been coming my way like a demonic b*tch.

I grab the photo album and look through it. Defiantly will be taking this with me.

I frown as I stumble upon a picture of me and my older sister, Layla. Whom I haven't seen in a few years. Mom and dad say she doesn't want to ever come back home. That hurt like hell especially since she was and always will be my best friend. Although there is a 4 year age gap, we were still very close. She told me everything.

I didn't believe it at first that she didn't want to come back home because of her new life, but when she sent mom and dad post cards of her, her husband, and her baby daughter - I believed it. She says she misses me very much, but I don't believe that part since she didn't even give me her number to call.

Whatever. Don't get attached to people. People always leave.

I sadly put the photo album in my boxes.

I jolt the box as I hear a loud knock from downstairs. Mom forget something? I head downstairs to open the door but I make sure to call out,

"Mom?"

"Yes. Open me the door Lauren." I sigh in relief. Thank god. Honestly I watch too many damn horror movies to not be calling out to make sure that is my mother.

"Grab me my purse." I nod and open the closet handing her the red Kate spade bag she's so found of carrying everywhere. Such a mom a thing.

"Thanks." I nod, and quickly close the door.

Must finish packing tonight!

I go back up to my room and turn on the TV as I watch friends I resume the dreadful college hell packing.

As time flies by,

I finally finish packing the boxes and put them in the corner of my room. As much as I am excited to finally go on my own, I am going to miss my room like crazy.

I lay down on my bed and put a new episode of friends on. Nothing is better than this show, and no one can convince me other wise.

A few minutes later after lying down on my comfy bed, I hear a knock on my bedroom door.

"Mom?" I call out

No reply.

"Mom?" I say again, this time getting out of my bed

"Open the door." I hear a voice say, and this voice is unfamiliar.

My heart sinks deeply as I start thinking...did I lock the door after I gave my mom her purse?

Oh my...I didn't lock the door.

I walk to the door slowly, shaking

"Who are you?" I reply back

"OPEN THE DOOR!" The deep voice growls, I look back at my window and contemplate if I can jump out.

Jump out to my death. Definitely not an option.

I gulp the large lump in my throat but it doesn't help me from beginning to hyperventilate. This really can't be happen. The person, who I assume is a very grown man begins punching my door. Loudly demanding me to let him in.

"Please leave me alone! Please! You can take anything you want!" My shaky voice replies

"That's the problem! I want you!" He screams, somehow I hear excitement in his voice. Knowing he will get his way to me.

I look around the room to see if there's anything I can hit him with.

Man my room has absolutely no protection of any sort. I look at my remote and decide this is the only acceptable thing. He bangs on the door,

"I will knock this damn door down in 5 seconds!" I begin crying out for help through my window. That remote is hopeless. I scream out the window and, my heart leaps out of my chest when I hear the door slam down.

I look behind me and see a very muscular man, with a smirk on his face leaping at me.

He roughly grabs me and I try to scream out but nothing is helping. He pulls me down to the ground and another man comes in.

"The more you try to resist us taking you, the worse it'll be. I suggest you oblige and help us out here Ms." The other man says while he tries not to be rough with me. That doesn't stop me from not attempting to kick him in the face.

When he notices that I'm not even trying to obey a bit, he slams my face down on the floor and smacks me, he comes closer to my face

"I can choke you. In about a few minutes you'll be dead and your life will be absolutely worthless, so I suggest you start trying to cooperate." I begin sobbing as they tape my arms back and my lips sealed shut.

I look at both of them and one puts me over his shoulders. This can't be happening to me. I have so much I want to do in my life.

"Call Tucker and tell him we got it done. 1 more to go after her." The man holding me over his shoulders says. My eyes widen..there's more people getting kidnapped? What is this?
