Sakura's POV
Mom woke me and dad up way before the sun rose, and I couldn't help but groan. Soon though I was up and moving, changing into my traveling clothes. Slipping on my favorite red and white dress as well as some dark shorts, I ran to the bathroom mirror and combed my hair out with my fingers.
We all were standing in the living room of the house and smiled. It was decided last night to leave all of the lights on for a special good bye today. Together we walked through and looked in each room, remembering memories we shared there then turned the light off. A few tears slipped down my eyes as I looked into my room. It was almost heartbreaking to see the house so empty, but at the same time I was glad to go. I never quite fit in here.
After going through the whole house, we walked out front and sat in the yard and watched the beginning of the last sunrise of the chapter in our life. Then brush away a few stray tears, we walked down the street and into a new beginning.
Mwuhahahaha! Broken page! That evening
Sitting in a branch high off the ground, I watched the clouds. My parents decided it would be safer to sleep in the trees away from the main road. It was rumored before we left that robberies weren't uncommon along the main road. My parents were in a tree a little ways away, and since we'd already eaten, were probably asleep.
We had made a good headway into the journey, only stopping for lunch. If all went well, we should arrive tomorrow evening. I heard rustling on the ground below, but thought nothing of it, because I had seen a few rabbits along the way.
I was dozing off when I felt something cool pressed against my neck and a hand was quickly placed over my mouth before I could scream.
"Come with us peacefully and you won't be hurt. Neither will your folks." The voice whispering in my ear was smooth, like glass, but in no way soothing. The calloused hand released my face but the knife stayed put when I nodded, silent tears escaping my eyes. I looked over and saw two other figures jump away from my parents as he released me. The man behind me bound my hands and feet the threw me over his shoulder and ran in the same direction.
They stopped a few hours later at a little house by a river that seemed to be falling apart. I was hyperventilating as they gagged me and dragged me into a basement before one of them slipped a needle into my arm, pressed the plunger and I quickly became loopy.
Aware of my surroundings but limp in my own body, I felt someone lay me on something soft. Not even bothering to shackle me they cackle and went upstairs. I focused trying to find something memorable about them before they were out of my sight.
One of them, the one who carried me, had white hair and droopy thin eyes. His form was cloaked in all black, like the other two, but you could see how slim he is and by the way he hunched over, I figured he was pretty tired.
The tallest one of the group had spiky red hair and orange brown eyes. He was heavily overweight, but also had plenty of muscle. I could tell if I was to try to escape I would want to wait till he was away.
Lastly, was a strange man. He, instead of having two arms, had six. That alone was creepy. He had tan skin as well as dark hair and eyes. His stature was between the other two, but he also had a good, lean, muscular build.
Even though I couldn't move my thoughts ran wild. It was then I had made a life changing decision. I didn't know who these guys were or what they want, but I was determined to escape from here.
