Searching for Sunshine

+++ Prologue +++
“OK! BYE LUCY! SEE YOU TOMORROW!” I turned around and began to walk home from a great day at school. I lived about 20 blocks away from school, so it took a good 55 minutes to get home. I pushed my glasses higher on my nose and wrapped my hands around my bag straps and began to stroll away from the big school car park. As I was walking in was making a list on my iPhone’s notes app of the homework I had to complete
Sunshine’s Homework List:
- Maths
- History
- English
- Physics
I bumped into a man, causing me to drop my phone, leaving it to shatter on the sidewalk. “Oh sorry sir, I didn’t mean to bump into you.” I said as I bent down to retrieve my smashed phone, and looked up to see the same man with a pistol pointed at my head. “What’s your name, bitch?” Bitch…
“Uh…-“ He cut me off “SPILL IT!” Before I could say anything he grabbed my arm with his dirty hand, the pistol still aimed at my head, and dragged me to a dusty ally. “WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME! HELP!” Before I knew it he shot me in the side. Blood spilled out of my hip and stained my clean uniform. I cried.
“TELL ME YOUR NAME!” Through sobs I answered “Connie Sunshine Walsh…” My hand was now stained a dark shade of red. The man threw the gun in a dumpster and pushed me to the ground, making me cry even more. “SHUT UP IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!” I couldn’t help but scream. He kicked my side, where the bullet had been shot, and forcing it to bleed more. He opened his old bag and pulled out a roll of duct tape. “This will make you shut up” The man ripped a single piece of tape off the roll with his bare hands, and shoved his hands to my mouth, placing the sticky duct tape over my dry mouth. Every movement I made hurt my side, where I had been shot earlier. “Ok girly, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way.” Straight away my eyes grew larger, showing the man I was listening. I honestly didn’t want to know what the consequence of this would be but, I guess I have to find out.
“Ok listen, you come with me, without making a fuss, I will let you live. If you struggle and try to escape, how would you like to be shot again?” I sobbed, making the stickiness of the duct tape turn into a liquid in my mouth, I will never do that again though. No, really! It tastes horrid. “Yeah… Maybe I will shoot you again and get this over with.” The man had an evil smirk on his face, as he pulled out a bigger gun than last time. I sobbed louder now, I could barely see because of all the tears in my eyes, spilling down my cold cheeks.
“Ok… Let’s make you more… Quiet.” Before I could react the man knelt down and hit me over the head with the gun. Everything almost instantly turned into black and white patches. Before I knew it… I was gone…

What did you think? Like it so far? I wanted to do a different kind of teen fiction this time, not one where the two main characters fall in love, and have children and all that sort of stuff. This is a creepy, mysterious type of story. I mean SERIOUSLY the main character as already been:
- Kidnapped
- Shot
- Knocked Out
If that isn’t mysterious enough I’m sorry, but I thought it was creepy… I wonder who the so called ‘man’ is…
