Have you ever wondered what it's like to be an animal? Or a fish? How free you would be if you were a turtle. I loved imagining these things when I was next to a river. I would always go in the weekend to my local river. If you're wondering who I am: my name  is Vera, and I am 15 years old. I just started freshman year and didn't really make any friends. I also live in England. I live in Manchester.
-Vera!! Vera!!!!
I turn around. It's ellie. Ellie is my cousin and also my only friend. She is 17 years old.
-Come on! It's getting cold. Get in the car.
-But I want to stay!
Ellie gave me a mean look.
-Uh! Fine.
I get up and go in the car.

My life is actually really boring. I don't  do much. I draw, I eat, I sleep, I listen to music.. the usual. Life is boring here.

At home, I change and go eat lunch. After, I head to my room and listen to Nirvana.

BANG! BOOM! BANG!

"What the hell?!" I thought.

BANG! BOOM! BANG!

I take off my headphones and look outside the window.

BANG! BOOM! BANG!! BANGGGG!!!

"Why is someone throwing rock at my window?!" I thought.

It was to risky to open the window so I got my coat and went in the backyard (I was home alone).

Turns out, there was a complete STRANGER that was in my BACKYARD! But before I could say anything, they put their hand over my mouth and I couldn't breathe.

I woke up and was in a dark room with one light that flashed in my eyes. I was tied up to a chair. I started sweating and was so scared.

"Where am I?"
To my left I see 2 teenage boys about my age and one kid.
"She woke up", one whispered.

"WHO ARE YOU?! LET ME OUT!", I scream.

"Shut up!", one of the guys says. He had purple hair with violet eyes and he was very thin.

"Jasper! Watch your language! She has every right to be scared

"Jasper! Watch your language! She has every right to be scared.", said one of the boys. He had black hair with black eyes and pale skin.

"Wait a minute", I thought

"Wait a minute", I thought. "This can't be a normal kidnapping, why is the kidnapper sympathizing with me?

"Whatever! Just explain. Who are you? Who is Jasper? Where am I?!"

"Calm down.", The raven haired boy said calmly. He was very nice to me. But why did he kidnap me?

"Listen, there is a killer at your school. Your parents work with us so we asked them if you could help us with the case and at first they said no, but then they agreed. We kidnapped you because you wouldn't agree anyway, but we'll set you free."

"What?! There's a killer at my school?!?!"

"Ugh. Just stop overreacting! Drama queen", Jasper exclaimed.

"SHUT UP!! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK! WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF YOU WERE KIDNAPPED?!"

"Shh!!!" The raven haired boy said.

"Ugh. I'm going to hate working with you.", Jasper said.

"Me too!!", I yelled furiously.

"Will you two stop fighting? You're going to work together whether you like it or not."

Suddenly, they leave.

"Hey! Where am I going to sleep?!", I asked.

It was so dark that you couldn't see who came in the room. They came closer, It was Jasper!

"You're really annoying, you know."

"I could say they same thing about you, Jasper."

He untied me.

"Come with me."

I was so sore because of the rope. And freezing! It was so cold in there. Well, all I had on was ripped jeans, a tank top and a thin blue coat.

Anyway, Jasper leads me to a small room. There was a bunk bed and a desk with a computer.

"Oh god. Don't tell me I'm sharing this room with YOU!", I said.

I could tell he was a bit hurt by that, but he tried to hide it.

"Just go to sleep."
