That Night

Chapter 2- First Chat

I didn’t know how long I was out for but when I opened my eyes there was a blinding light shining in my eyes. I quickly close my eyes because it was way to bright.

   Once i finally open my eyes and adjusted to the blinding rays of the sun I looked around to see where I was , trying to remember what happened.

   It hits me like a ton of breaks and I try to get up. I can’t because of the cold metal of something on my wrists restricting me from get up or going anywhere. When I look to see what it is. I was shocked and angry at the same time… the thing that was on my wrists were … Handcuffs!!!!

   I try breaking them struggling to get out but after awhile huffs a breath of defeat and give up. I look around to see who just ruined my 6 years of hard work.

  When I look at the barn door I see a man standing there looking the other way talking on the phone… Well more like yelling.

   I start to listen in on the conversation I mean it wasn’t really hard when he was yell at the person on the other end of the phone call.

 “ I don’t care! Just get here soon so we can get this job done!” he yells then ends the call and shoves the phone into his jean pocket. He sighs then looks up at the sky. From what I could see it was a blue sky with a few clouds and the sun shining brightly. His head falls into his hands and he groans. He start to slowly turn around and I quickly act like i’m still asleep.

   I start to hear footsteps approaching me, I try to slow my breathing. The footsteps stop right in front of you. “ I know you’re awake” said the deep voice from before. I sigh slowly opening my eyes again and look at the man.

   He didn’t look ugly that for sure but the thing that caught my attention were his eyes. The color of his iris was grey! They always say that grey is sad and depressing but his eyes you could get lost in them, they were so beautiful balanced but full of emotion yet no emotion at all.

    He had bed head as if he had just woke up., it looked soft from what I could see, he was also tan like he is always in the sun. He probably was. He was fit but not to fit that it looked like all he cared about was lifting weights.

I finally ask the questions I wanted to ask for awhile. “ who are you and what do you want with me?” At first my voice was scratchy but it got better at the end.

  “ Well… Skyler Anderson That’s for me to know and you to never find out.” He says well smirking.

   I was surprised and scared which hasn’t happened in years.” ho-ow d-o you know my- my name?” I stutter. Only a few people know my real name these days and I have never met this guy before so how does he know my name?

   Do you really want to know? He asks

     I hesitate for a second then nod wanting to know how he knows my name. If I ever have to use a name I usually use fake names.

   “Well then let's start from the beginning” He says “ do you remember about 6 years ago when they took the first neighborhood?”

    I frown remember that terrible nightmare.That’s when my family was taken from me and were my terrible life started.

    “ from that expression i’m guessing you remember. Well let's just get straight to the point. I’m one of them and my team are the ones who took house 24” He said having the look like he was try to remember.

       I start to tear up” how could you do that!” I yell my home was house 24 . It was were all my childhood memories were. That night haunted my nightmares forever. The only reason i’m still here is because my mother saved my life by hiding in the secret room we had .

     “ there is one thing I have been wondering for all these years. My team searched the whole house And we still could not find you. Where were you?” He asked looking really curious.

  Still crying i answer in sobs” why.. Would I ever tell you?’’

     He sighs” I will find out eventually” he said with a bored look on his face.

     I went to go and wipe my tears  but groan when my hands are restricted by the handcuffs. This was all for nothing, the running, hiding, because in the end they found me. I just lost everything I ever knew.
