Dreary as it is living in New York City, my mother and I have been living here for about 3 years now. We moved away from all the troubles my father had left us back in Texas so we aren't really New Yorkers. Every day I would wake up, go to school, come home, and go out to the local park to draw. My mother says I'm a very good drawer but I just think my work is so-so. Well, the day of March 10th, my life as I once knew would be taking a new course.

"Surry!" my mother had called from the lower level of our apartment. "You must hurry if you want to make it to school on time.

I moaned in my sleep and rolled off my bed.Sitting up and yawning, I made my way downstairs.

I looked around…"Mom?"

Out of nowhere, a sack comes flying over my head. Naturally, when someone does this people scream. But not me. I stayed calm and turned to face the attacker and said, "Where's my mom?"

Apparently the attacker thought this was funny and laughed, "Dear, your mum is fine where she is, but you won't be seeing her for possibly the rest of your life."

Appalled by what he was saying I choked out, "May I say goodbye at least?" I felt the person (might I add how I naïve I was to assume that) shrug and I called out. "Mom...I don't know if you can hear me...These people have come and they...they're taking me away. I'm sorry. I don't know what else to do except say goodbye..." I bowed my head in sorrow and shame at the fact that I couldn't cry. Not even now.

The person took that as his cue to throw me over their shoulder and jump away. We'd been running for quite some time now and my legs were turning numb from just dangling there.

"Um, excuse me sir but are we almost there, my legs are getting prickly."

He laughed and kept going without answering me. Through the darkness of the sack I could see that it was getting darker each passing minute. Eventually, sunset came and we stopped. I sighed with relief. He put me down and pushed me along until I felt water. I stepped back.

"Hey, nobody said anything about water." Nobody but my mother knew this but I had never been taught to swim.

"Relax human, you won't be in it for long." said the voice of my captor.

I took shallow breathes as I walked along in the water until a hand grabbed my shoulder and said "Stop here."

We waited there for about ten minutes as the sun slowly crept below the horizon. Instantly when the sun was gone, I felt the water below me disappear and it felt like I was floating. I panicked and grabbed the kidnapper and buried my face (still in a sack by the way) and waited until I felt the ground again. He then took the sack off my face. I gasped.

This person was not much older than me! I was 15 but he looked to be 17 or 18. I also examined him. He was fiiiine. Exaggerating the i's.

His bleach blonde hair seemed to fall in layers around his perfectly balanced face. One layer was plastered to the side over his left eye. Which by the way, were a bright blue that seemed abnormally bright. His body seemed to scream at me and make my head spin. You could tell through his shirt he had abs to die for and muscles under his sleeves. He was tall too. I automatically thought model but he couldn't be because his clothes didn't seem to be designer.

As I gaped he walked away seemingly uninterested. I wouldn't blame him. A guy like that looking at me who had mid-back length light brown hair, pale green eyes and was pretty short. I decided to follow him.

"Uh, where are we?" I asked. Because that's normally what you ask when you don't know.

He kept walking as if I hadn't said anything. So I asked again and he stopped. "You're annoying." He turned back around and kept walking.

Well I have a right to be seeing as YOU KIDNAPPED ME! I said in my head. He stopped again so I thought he was going to share some information. I stood there with my arms crossed looking at him. Which is hard not to do.

He turned to me with a frustrated look. No, scratch that, more exasperated than frustrated. He sighed. "I only kidnapped you because my friend wanted a human to play with." I then changed my determined face to my confused face.

"Play as in molest or play as in buddy?"

He laughed at that and kept walking. "You'll see."

We continued like that for another 3 hours until we came to a house. He turned to me.

"We're here."
