I'm Estrella

I'm going to start off saying that I don't think that I am the way everyone says I am, even for a Neko. Everyone calls me so pretty... but that's not what I wanna hear. I wanna be told how smart I am... or what a good pianist I am. Alright... now that I've started to rant and have stopped myself, I will start with my story.

"Essie?" A girl's voice says.
"Who needs me? Here!!" I yell in the direction of the voice. A girl runs up to me. She looks so nice. She is blonde with brown eyes and fair skin.
"Essie! I missed you so much! How was your break?" The girls keeps talking and doesn't stop to let me cut in until I interrupt her, "Excuse me, but who are you? Where am I and what am I doing here?" She looks me up and down and notices something. My ears, she reaches up into my hair and touches one. I yelp. Then she sees my tail. "Estrella are you a Neko? How could I have never noticed before?" I look at her confused, "You didn't notice them because we don't know each other." Her eyes get teary. She looks sad. "I'm sorry to make you sad. I just figured you should know you have the wrong person. The Essie you are looking for probably isn't a Neko. Sorry to disappoint." She looks at me a little longer. "We have to get you home Essie." I shake my head no and she grabs my wrist and drags me away from the crowd. I oblige and follow her. She takes me down a road and I see a man walking down the street. He turns to look at us then gets in his car. He drives away. "What's your name?" I ask. "Miriyannita, call me Miri." She looks my way and seems like she could punch me. I see her start to say, "I mean could she have amnesia? Or early onset dimsensia? No. This is too early she probably hit her head on the way to school." She nods as if satisfied with her conclusion. She looks back at me again. I open my mouth only to close it again, what I was about to say would have made her sadder. I notice a man following us. He is in a black truck. I hear the car close. I turn my ears towards him. He doesn't seem to notice and nor does Miri. The man stops and gets out of the car. I hear the car door slam and flatten my ears down quickly. I tense up. He is behind me and Miri doesn't notice. Does that mean she knows this man? Or - or she just doesn't know? I question myself for so long the man grabs me. I was about to scream when he covered my nose and mouth with his hand. Little black dots started to appear. I passed out.

(Narrator perspective)
Mira turns around and notices Estrella's absence, "Essie? Where did you go?" Then she notices the black truck driving away and starts to chase it. The someone from behind hits her with a piece of metal over the head. She passes out. She is then dragged to a ditch.

They are like 17-18 about now.

(Estrella perspective)
"Ugh." I groan. My head hurts and feels like it was banged against something. I feel my seatbelt around me and unbuckle. I reach into the front seat.
"Hey Mr. Kidnapper Guy, where are we going?" He responds quietly, " Where you belong. With Mr.Sanchez. In the blue house." I cock my head at him, "But I've never been there." He shakes his head, "Estrella we don't know how you got out or why, but do it again and he will be very angry. Also don't lie about your memory when we get there. Or they might put you down." I nod my head, " but I really don't remember, so can you fill me in? Spill the tea please!" Something clicked.

(Memory/ Estrella)
"Sal!! The point was to clean not make a bigger mess!" I yelled. Sal smirked at me, "Oh but making messes is so much more fun than cleaning them." "Oh Sal spill the tea! Is she his new girlfriend or not?" Sal starts to run in the other direction. I chase after him. "Babe!! You can't just run." He yells in my direction, "If you were in my place you would do the same thing!!"
End of memory

(Estrella POV)
"Mr. Kidnapper guy, is Mr. Sanchez's first name Sal?" He nods, "And I'm Mike by the way. Glad you are remembering things!" He turns back to driving, "Get some sleep Estrella." I go back to the rear of the truck and lie down.
