Kidnapped
The girls giggled as they ran as fast as they could away from the boys that were chasing them.
"You can't catch us!" a girl with blonde hair taunted.
She had deep green eyes that were flashing dangerously.
"We'll see about that!" A boy called back.
He had bright blue eyes and messy brown hair.
The girl giggled again and turned to the three other girls with her. One had short orange hair and green eyes, one had long thick blue hair with matching dark blue eyes and the last girl had medium length brown hair, also with bright blue eyes.
"What do you think girls?" the blonde asked, "should we stop and give the boys a break?"
"No way!" the brunette shrieked, "I'm not letting grass brain catch me!"
"Bit harsh for your best friend don't you think?" a boy laughed, coming behind her and wrapping his arms around her as he tackled her to the ground.
He had light green hair and green eyes, probably the reason why the girl called him grass brain.
The girl giggled.
"You catched me," she sang.
"It's caught," the boy corrected, "mama always told me that catched isn't a word."
"Ok," she said, unfazed, "get off me. I need to go help the girls."
The boy chuckled and got up, offering his hand to the girl. She took it and he yanked her to her feet.
A squeal was heard from the blonde as the boy with brown hair and blue eyes caught her wrist and she fell.
"She's caught," the brunette girl complained.
"And your other friends are almost caught as well," the green-haired boy laughed.
A boy with purple hair and black eyes smiled as he tackled the girl with blue hair.
All that was left was the girl with orange hair who was being closely followed by a boy with black hair and brown eyes. The other friends watched as the orange haired girl continued to run, laughing as she stayed just out of reach from the boy.
"No fair!" the boy yelled as she one again dodged from his grip, "you know you're faster than me."
He stopped and pouted, crossing his arms. The girl stopped running as well and looked back at the boy.
"Don't be upset," she cooed, "it's just a game."
The boy huffed and turned his head away. The girl sighed heavily and went towards him as he flopped dramatically on the ground.
"Hey, don't be like that," she complained.
The boy looked up at her, a cheeky glint in his eyes. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her down to the ground.
"Got you!" he called triumphantly.
"Cheater," the girl yelled back, "you can't do that."
"It said nowhere in the rules that I couldn't," he shouted.
"You're a cheater!" she yelled again.
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Hey guys stop," the blue haired girl said, coming between them, "no fighting ok?"
"Yeah," the blonde girl agreed, "we came out here for a picnic remember?"
"Yay food!" The black-haired boy sprang up and quickly ran to where a red checker blanket was set out on the ground.
There was a basket and little plastic plates, cups and fork were set out. The other kids joined the boy as he sat down.
They were all about five with the exception of the orange haired girl and the black-haired boy who were older at 6. The blue haired girl and the purple haired boy were also the exception; both of them being the youngest at 4.
The girl with brown hair opened the basket. She pulled out a box of grass and another container full of rocks. She opened them and put a rock and a bit of grass on each plate.
"You know this isn't actually food?" the green-haired boy said.
"I know that," the brunette girl giggled, "but it's pretend. See the grass can be salad and the rocks can be…um…cupcakes!"
The boy rolled his eyes.
The girls enthusiastically pretended to eat the 'meal', throwing the stuff over their shoulders as they 'ate' it.
"Come on boys," The blonde giggled, "play or I will really make you eat it!"
The boys looked at each other in fear of what the girl would do to them and hurried to pretend to eat the meal, throwing everything over their shoulders in a hurry.
"Who wants tea now?" the brunette girl asked.
She didn't wait for a response and poured dirty brown water in each cup.
"Where did you get that water?" the green haired boy asked, eyeing his cup suspiciously.
"The river!" she called cheerfully.
"Don't drink this guys," he warned, "you could get sick."
The brunette girl stuck her tongue out at the boy who again just rolled his eyes.
"Hey guys look at that!" the blue haired girl yelled, pointing in the distance.
"What is it?" the blonde asked.
"I don't see anything," the guy with brown hair shrugged.
"Can't you see that sparkling?" the blonde asked.
He shook his head.
"I bet it's a big sparkly jewel," the blue girl squealed.
"I still don't see anything," the brown haired boy muttered.
"Come on girls," the blonde said, "let's go check it out and leave the boys here."
"Wait," the purple haired boy said, "mama said you can't go by yourself!"
The blue haired girl turned to him, pouting.
"We're big girls now," she said, "we can look after ourselves. No need to worry."
"That's when I worry the most," the purple haired by said.
The girls stuck their tongues out at the boys and started to run away.
"Wait girls!" the black haired boy yelled, "Wait for us!"
The boys got up and ran to catch up to the girls.
"I'm sure it was around here," the blue haired girl said, not noticing the man that was creeping up behind her.
"Look out!" The boys yelled.
Too late. The girls looked up in surprise and were hit in the back of the head. They each fell down, unconscious and the man picked two of them up and slung them over each shoulder.
"Let them go!" The brown haired boy yelled, hitting the man's arm that held the blonde girl.
The man pushed him away easily and the boy fell to the ground, wincing as he scraped his elbow on the ground. The green haired boy knelt down by the brunette girl and shook her shoulder.
"Wake up," he called frantically.
She didn't move. Next to him the black haired boy was doing the same to the girl with orange hair.
"Help me take her away," the green haired boy said to the purple haired boy next to him who had, up until then, been frozen in shock.
He nodded and they both grabbed one of her hands each and started to drag her away.
The black haired boy cried out in horror as the man came back and picked up the orange haired girl.
The man now had two little boys clinging to him and hitting him, trying to make him let go of their friends. The man put the unconscious girl in the back of his van with the other two girls. He turned back to see the other two boys dragging the last girl away, towards the bush where they were attempting to hide her. The man rolled his eyes at their efforts. He batted the two kids away and picked up the last girl, putting her in the back.
All of the boys were now hitting him as he shut the doors. He batted them all away like they were flies and the boys lay sprawled on the grass. The man picked up his flashing white light and walked to the front door. He opened the door, chucked it to the side and sat in.
The boy got up and tried, with no success, to open the back door and free the girls. They coughed as black smoke hit them in the face as the van drove off, leaving the boys dirty, tired, hurt, and without their best friends. They all screamed out a name at the same time, but by the way their voices were mixed together; you couldn't make out what they were saying clearly.
Drew: You realise it's really obvious who these people are?
Me: I know! I don't know why, but I just felt like doing that.
Paul: What happened to your hiatus.
Me: I'm still on hiatus!
Ash: So why are you writing? I'm confused.
Me: I felt like writing the start to be a tease. Because I've had the idea floating for ages and it's been a while since I closed the poll, so I thought why not just put it out there. I'll come back to this... I was trying to give myself some motivation here.
May: So you're trying to motivate yourself to write?
Me: Uh...Yes?
Dawn: How does that make sense?
Me: I don't know...I think I might have just destroyed the whole point of my hiatus, but whatever.
