I heard a loud crash and my eyes flew open. That was not good. That was most definitely not good. There was another crash and I jumped out of my bed. Well, I sort of did. It was more of a sideways fall. I pushed myself to my feet quickly and grabbed whatever I could to defend myself and I cautiously approached my bedroom door. There were goosebumps on my legs- all I wore to bed was a baggy T-shirt and some spandex shorts.
I grabbed the door knob and squared my shoulders. If you don't open the door, they will come in and find you anyways. I threw it open and brandished my hairbrush in front of me. There were six men standing in my hallway all dressed in black leather. They were carrying more weapons than I could count, four of which were held to the throats of my family. The other two were pointed at me.
"Who are you?" my voice quivered and I could feel my body begin to tremble. Fear is just an emotion. Don't let it control you. I swallowed and spoke a little more surely, "What do you want with us?"
"Well, my dear, we want you to come with us." The one closest to me said. He wasn't currently pointing anything sharp at any of my family members. He had short dark hair and scars running up and down his neck. He also had tattoos all over his body, just like all the others. They were like gang symbols- the tattoos were all the same.
"Well obviously we don't want to come with you, so you're going to have to give me a better reason than that." my sisters were crying and so was my mother. My dad just looked pissed. All of them also were dressed for bed, and their hair was messy and my dad was even bleeding on his arm. THis was not okay.
The man raised his eyebrow at me. "So much sass! We don't need to give you any reason at all, my dear. All you need to know is that Eris wants you, and what Eris wants, he gets."
"Ouuu good one. Which movie did you get that from?" I said before I could take it back. When I'm uncomfortable or scared I sort of vomit up words, and sass.
He frowned now. "That's enough stalling. It's time for you to come with us, willingly or not."
"Before we go, can we address that this Eris character carries a female's name. The poor kid. His mother must not have liked him very much..."
"It's not his real name. No one knows his real name. He thinks it's funny- Eris being Strife."
"Hilarious." I couldn't help but add.
"That's enough. Now, shut up and come." he snarled.
I didn't walk toward him so he grabbed my arm, making sure to dig his fingers in. I winced. That was going to leave a mark. My heart was beating overtime in my chest and the pace doubled when I felt the kiss of a blade at my spine.
"One wrong move and this goes through your spine." he whispered against my neck.
I shivered and didn't respond, walking obediently down my stairs and out into the cool air. I saw some black vans at the bottom of my driveway and wondered why no one on my street thought that this was weird. There must be someone awake at three in the morning.
"Ow!" I felt something sharp jab my jugular and then the world started to go spotty. "Mum? Dad?" I looked around but all I could see were the black figures. I couldn't see my family anymore.
The black spots grew and it became increasingly harder to see. My limbs felt so heavy and I just wanted to lie down, only for a second. I could close my eyes for just a second. Resting them wouldn't hurt...
Then the darkness swallowed me whole.
