My eyes burst open.

It was like a jolt streaming from my feet to my eyes, awakening me suspensefully. At first, I thought everything was a bad dream.

Yes, totally, just a bad dream. But as I looked around at my surrounding, I knew it all was true.

I was in a dark room, with a single cot where I was now sitting up from. A small square window was on the door next to me, but barely any light came through.

I have been kidnapped. But how?

This wasn't just a random kidnapping, whoever it was knew my name and knew my school. And they went all out of their way just to get me.

Suddenly, I heard loud voices outside my door pass by. I scrambled out of the bed in fear, before hitting the ground loudly. I ran to the door and started banging on it.

"HELP! LET ME OUT!" I shouted. I stopped banging, waiting for their response. The two seemed to have stopped, or paused. I must have caught their attention. They weren't speaking directly to me, but to each other. I leaned my ear against the door to listen.

"Should we bring him yet? She didn't want him for another hour or so..."

"Obviously, Salina. He's awake and loud as ever, how else are we going to control the kid?!"

They bickered for a little longer before everything went silent. A heard a huge click and rotations as I backed up from the door. Next thing you know, it was open.

"Oh thank God, I thought I would be trapped here forever-"

"Shut up, " a man snapped, as he grabbed my wrists and handcuffed them with... an electrical beam? I've never seen the police use these...

"Sorry, it's just for safety precautions, " said the other person he was with. She had tan skin and curly hair, and as well seemed a lot nicer than the other guy. "Please follow me, " she added on.

"Wait! I thought you were saving me!" I yelled as she began walking away. She turned back to face me.

"Well- er we-"

"HELP! HELP, I HAVE BEEN KIDNAP-"

A zap cursed through my body as I fell to the ground. It was like a taser, but from my wrists... my handcuffs. The man behind me grabbed my collar and pulled me back up.

"If you don't shut up, I'll make it worse next time, " he said through gritted teeth as he pushed me forward. My lip began trembling as I continued to follow the lady with the scary man behind me.

After going up and around the building, we were headed down a narrow hallway. This place was ginormous, which scared me even more. I had never seen this place, and by the looks of just the outside, I didn't even know where I was. It seemed to be deserted from the outside, as though this is its own private property.

I wasn't sure if we were at the top level or not, but I know I've passed at least thirty stories. Anxiety kept building up in me, from the wonder of where we were going. I remember hearing them say they are taking me to 'her, ' but I don't have the slightest hunch of who that exactly is.
