Kidnapped (Completed)

Accepting Lunatics

William:

I watched  Woody walk away. Relief washed over me.

"How's work going?" asked Joey asked me, one of the guys who helped kidnap me. I glared at him furiously, fighting the urge to knock the living day lights out of him. 

"Come on, we're brothers" he told me. He was saying this while I was chopping wood with an axe? What a dumb guy. 

"No we aren't. We are not family, no one here is my family" I snapped. He looked offended by my words, but I was glad. 'He can't just want to be all friendly with me after kidnapping me for petes sake. Had he no common sense?' I thought, and then realization hit me like a brick to the head, which I've felt before... 'Non of them here, have common sense. Brain washed children' I thought. I felt slightly guilty about my rudness. I sighed softly, I just wanted to go home.

"Listen I'm sorry, but this is your family now. Can't we at least try to behave like brothers? Pa really wants you to fit in" he said. The guilt was washed away when he said that last part. Pa. My definition of fathers: unreliable, cruel, mean, unforving, untrustable men.

"No. I would never accept anyone as my father" I snapped. He shook his head sadly.

"I don't know about your past, but listen to me. Pa is a good man, he's loving and carring" Joey told me. I looked down at my own two hands. An unwanted memmory flashed in my mind. His face, angry and full of hatred, and those words he spat at me. 'You aren't my son, and you are just a retched little freak of nature' I remembered. 

"Boys!" I heared Pa- err I mean Woody. He was carrying... a glass of lemonade.

"Here, I thought you've been working hard" he said offering the glasses. Eagerly Bill, Bryce, Samuel, and David hurried to grab a glass. I looked down at the glass. Never had... my father offered me anything.  

"Thanks pa" I said quietly. He grinned, showing off his croocked yellow teeth, and patted me on the back like a normal father would. Something I'd never had before.

Raven:

I walked across the room carefuly. The books woobled slightly, but stayed on my head. I was walking okay as I turned around. 'Carefull. Carefull' I told myself sterly. I was afraid of what may happen if I dropped them. There was a crack in the floor boards I hadn't noticed. I ended up tryping and falling flat on my face. I yelped in pain. A sticky liquid dripping from my nose. I could here Amynda trying to stifle a laugh and was encouraging Suzan to laugh also.

"Oh dear" said Elizabeth. She bent over and helped me up rather than beating me like I had expected. She rushed me into the kitchen and was wipping my nose. Back home mother and father were always busy, so when something happened, I delt with it. 'Like breaking my hand' I thought. 'Spoiled, yet uncarred for' I thought in realization. This was something I didn't get much at home, and I was just realizing this. 

"Thank you ma" I whispered.

"Any time honey" she said kissing my cheek.

'The months go by, and William and Raven become more accepting of ma and pa (Elizabeth and Woody)

William finaly has what he's secretly craved for his entire childhood. Real, carrying parents. He was scared and alone, but now he's accepted.

Raven has't had carrying parents. They've spoiled her with all the money and stuff she could want. However, her parents never cared for her. They never gave her the love Elizabeth gave her.'
