I woke up with my face pressed to the ground. Dirt filled my nose and mouth. I started to panic because I couldn't breath. I began to wiggle and squirm. I was suddenly picked up off the ground and dangled in front of somebody. Wiping the dirt from my eyes, I saw it was a government officer.
"Sleeping Beauty has finally woken up, has she?" He shook me once then threw me to the ground. I looked up and my mouth dropped open.
Eden and Grift were surrounded by at least 30 men and women. All wearing government clothing and pointing their guns at them. They both had their knifes out and were poised to throw them. I was surrounded by only 5 people, I pouted. I was just as dangerous as them!
I stood up and quickly aimed a punch at a women. She just grabbed my fist and twisted my arm behind my back.
"MERCY! Mercy!" I shouted. She smirked and released me by throwing me to the ground. I got up yet again, this time everybody was watching me. I brushed the dirt off of my pants, and looked back at everyone. I looked at Eden and she winked back at me.
Eden suddenly threw a knife, killing a woman, and launched herself at a nearby person. Grift copied her and killed just as many. I simply kicked a few people and aimed a few weak punches. Nothing on my part stopped them, I sighed and moved over so I was hidden behind a tree. After a few minutes, Eden and Grift ran out of knifes and were captured. I looked around for Ryan.
Out of nowhere a man stepped forward. He started to talk to Eden and Grift, but I didn't pay attention. I finally spotted Ryan, he was sleeping in a cluster of trees about 10 feet away from me. I slowly started to make my way towards him, trying to remain unnoticed by the government people. Then I heard my name.
"MAY!" I turned and the man that was talking to Eden and Grift was watching me, as well as everybody else.
"Hi," I said slowly," ummm.... yeah." I looked at Ryan, then back to the guy, then back to Ryan. The people with guns started to approach me so I backed up and ran as fast as I could to Ryan. I quickly jumped on his back and woke him up. Once he was awake, I faced the government officers and willed Ryan to attack them. Ryan tore through the people like scissors cutting tissue paper.
I fell off of Ryan at some point and ended up at the feet of the man who was previously talking to Eden and Grift. He pulled me to my feet and slapped handcuffs on me. Strapping my hands together behind my back painfully.
"OUCH!!! Watch it, that hurts." I tried to twist out of his grasp but only managed to injure myself more. He squeezed my forearm tightly and started to drag me away.
"You're coming with me." He threw me into a truck. I screamed but nobody heard me.
"RRRRRYYYYYYAAAANNNNN!!!!!! EEEEEDDDDDEEEEEENNNNNNN!!!!!! GGGGGRRRRRRRIIIIIIFFFFFFTTTTTTT!!!!! SOMEBODY!!! HELP ME!!!!!" It only resulted in me being whacked on the head by my kidnappers gun. I started to bleed from the new cut on my head and I turned to look out the window.
I could see Eden and Grift fending off the government attackers, and Ryan knocking down and tearing apart people. I rested my forehead on the glass and sighed.
"Bye, guys. Come get me soon, please?" I whispered. I watched them fight until the truck drove me out of view. I felt for my uncle's book that was tucked into my waistband, but only felt my stomach. I started to hyperventilate,' NO!' I screamed in my head. I started to silently cry. Hoping that maybe, maybe it fell out and is now on the ground somewhere at the fight. In a place where Eden or Grift can easily find it.
I turned around to face my kidnapper, but instead found the wrong end of a gun aimed at me.
"Nighty, night, girlie." Then he shot me and I blacked out.
