7 Days: An Abduction Story

Taken..

You'd think we'd know...

All the little things in this day...

Don't talk to strangers...

Don't accept sweets...

Don't walk alone...

Don't trust anyone...

But no...

We put our trust in that man...

And that was all it took...

My name is Kat Rosetta my sister is Petal Rosetta...

And this is our story...

4 years ago...

Me and Petal were starting school...for the 4th time this year, due to...problems Petal losing her temper and going into depressive states, we had to relocate...keep the people calm, they dubbed her an Antichrist...everywhere she went...a child would die...but I didn't believe that, she would never hurt a soul...She was only 7 after all, I was 13.

"So...Rosewood Primary, seems nice"

I said

"Mm"

She nodded, she never spoke much since mum and dad died, we were really close for being at an age gap.

"Yea...it looks ok"

She said after a little while

"I'm sure you'll get on great Petal"

I smiled, she gave a small sad smile

"Listen, its just you and me against the world now, I won't let anything ever hurt you, I pinky swear that...ok?"

I promised her...

I wake up every night now for the rest of my life, crying, because I never kept my promise...I let her down, in the worst possible way...I let my baby sister down...

I guess the real nightmare started when I was taking her to school...

"Hey Kat, why don't you meow, like a kitty Kat?"

she giggled

"Because, Kitty Kat...TICKLES SISTERS"

I tickled her and she laughed...it filled me with joy hearing those laughs

"Come on lets cross-"

Petal ran out,a car whizzed round and I pulled her in, my breath going crazy, I shook her.

"ARE YOU MAD YOU COULD HAVE DIED!"

I screamed, she began to sob

"Sorry Kat..."

She hiccuped

"It...Its ok, are you hurt?"

I asked her

"Scrape"

Her elbow was bleeding badly

"Oh, Petal"

I ripped my sleeve and made a cast sling

"Oh my god! Are you ok"

A man screeched, we saw a tall very nice looking man

"Y-Yeah, just a scrape"

I said

"I'm good"

Petal smiled

"Very nice young lady you have there, you her sister?"

He asked

"Yes, now, uh, we have to go"

I said rapidly, I was a little wary now, he kept looking from me to my sister, like he was scanning us, but scanning what?

"Oh, ok, be careful don't run in front of any motors now"

He smiled and got into his van, I waited for a short while till he drove away and began to walk on, I stopped at the corner, I saw that red van again at the top of the street, it was stopped there. I was scared, I didn't want to walk ahead, I looked around, trying to find another place but there was none. I gripped Petal's hand tightly.

"Don't stop walking, keep your eyes to the school ahead, ok?"

I said as I very slowly walked on, we got to the van and sweat was pouring down me, cold sweat. It was fear that made me look into the front of the van, I sighed in relief. No one was there.

"C'mon lets go to school"

I smiled as we walked on.

That was our real nightmare started...

The world went silent as from behind us the van doors opened and someone lunged out, they pulled Petal into the boot of the van, I heard her terrified screams as she was bound, the person grabbed me and threw me into the boot as well, I was bound and gagged like Petal. The look on her face drove me insane, her face was red with tears. That look alone would have driven anyone to madness...

It was quiet for a while, so I knew we had stopped, the doors opened but I was too afraid to look, I felt him touch my cheek, I was crying, he sighed as he blindfolded me, I screamed more when I heard the boot shut. Petal was so terrified, so was I. We were vulnerable and weak, whoever this man was, he planned this...he must have...

I heard the van start up again and tried to reach out to petal, our hands were bound so I slid over to her and held her small shaking hands, I couldn't see it, but I knew she was still crying, I began to hum a lullaby

"Hush now my little bee, don't be afraid, go to sleep, he above will set us free, have faith and you shall see, hush now, my little bee"

I hummed, it was a song our mom sang to us, the days before she and dad died...

Petal had fallen asleep, not me. I couldn't, my fear wouldn't let me, I listened to the sound of dirt and rocks...

We weren't in town any more...

My mind was reaching it's limits, I shut off and went to sleep...

I think I'll end it here

This is a story based on 2 things, a book I read and a film I watched

My friend, who is like my sister, is co-starring in this tragic story of betrayal, rape, sorrow and loyalty.

I hope you R&R

Thanks
