The wind howled through the trees and the lightning danced across the sky. The man that was about to open Sarah's car door stopped and slowly turned to the yelling voice. The man's eyes showed reflections of the lightning that was in the sky. He seemed a bit angered at the voice, but then his face showed simple frustration.

"What now." the man sneered.

"Is she alright?" asked the curious creature.

"Of course she is alright! Why wouldn't she be!" the tall man yelled back.

The man slowly turned towards the car again and reached down to the door handle to open it. Luckily it was unlocked, even though it would have been nothing for the man to get to the woman. He reached in to touch her face. He stared at her, her long flowing hair and creamy complexion. Her eyelids seemed very swollen and red.

The little creature had come up to the car and peered inside. "Looks like she's been crying."

"Doesn't matter now, I have her. It will be different this time. Very different." The man said as he reached for Sarah who was still unconscious.

The man carefully unbuckled Sarah and gently took her into his arms. He observed a bit of a bump on the side of her head. He caressed her head and then began to walk back into the darkness all the while being followed by the little creature. The man soon stopped and reached into his pocket and pulled out a small crystal ball. He gazed into it and said "Home".

There seemed to be some smoke and some mysterious colors and then all three were gone.

Three hours later…

Back at Sarah's parent's home, there was worry in the air. Sarah's dad now sat crying as his wife tried to comfort him. "I can't believe that none of her friends have even seen her! Where could she be?" commented Sarah's dad.

"Don't worry dear. I have called the police, they are coming over now and they will help us find her. She will be back home with us soon enough."

"Why did have to come to this! I said things that I shouldn't have. Now I have to have the police to help me reunite with my own daughter!"

Silence continues for a few more minutes, causing the couple to go into some sort of a pained trance. Suddenly the doorbell rang, jolting the couple back to reality.

The stepmother eagerly ran to the door and jerked it open.

"Hello ma'am. We are here about a missing endangered person that we were called about." The officer replied cooly.

"Yes, please, come in and get this started." Replied the stepmother.

Two officers came in and followed the woman to the couch. They all sat down and began the grueling conversation.

"So, are you Sarah's parents?" one of the officers asked. The officer got out his paper pad and pen and was getting ready to write down all of the information.

"Yes, well, I am her father and this is her stepmother." Replied Sarah's dad.

"When was the last time you saw Sarah and what makes you feel that she is in any danger? Asked the officer.

Sarah's father started, "Where do I start? Well, we think she may have bumped her head years ago and this bump has caused her to have some delusions. We weren't home at the time; she was babysitting her little brother Toby for us. Anyway, ever since then she still swears by these delusions, saying that a man took her little brother and she had to rescue him back. We don't know why she still believes this, but she does. The argument that we had that made her run away was about all of this."

"Soooo there isn't any truth to this story of hers?" the officer asked.

"No, absolutely not!" barked the stepmother.

The officer began writing the information down.

"We need to most current photograph you have of your daughter, as well as any identifying marks on her body, her weight, height, eye and hair color and anything else that may be helpful. Also, what was it that she was driving?" asked the officer.

The stepmother replied again, "She is driving a blue four door Toyota Corolla with the license plate number of TMR 31A."

The other officer commented, "Who are her friends and do you have any additional information that could be helpful to us?"

Just then the other officer's radio on his belt went off. He picked it up and responded to it. He had a curious look on his face and then said, "Please excuse me for a moment."

The officer then went outside to finish the conversation with the other officer on the other end of the radio. "You have found a car that has been in an accident? Tell me its stats and if there is anyone in it or there with the car. I am looking for a certain car right now and I need to see if it's a match." The officer on the other end of the line answered the questions quickly. As soon as the officer had the information that he needed, he went back inside the home of the lost woman.

As soon as the officer came back in, everyone looked at him. He had a look of worry and seriousness on his face. He sat down again and told the family that he had some news pertaining to Sarah.

"We have found your daughter's car, but she is not in it and it has been in an accident. There are officers still on the scene now looking for her. We also will be having search dogs going into the area in case she has stumbled off from being stunned or confused from the accident."

"Oh my God! NO!" screamed Sarah's dad. His wife tried desperately to console her worried husband.

"We are doing everything we can for your daughter right now sir. Please keep us informed in case you hear of anything new. We will do the same for you. Here is my card. We will be leaving now and getting to work on this case. Good evening and we will show ourselves to the door."

The officers left the home and went about their business. The family inside the house were grief-stricken and worried about Sarah. All the while they didn't know that Sarah was being cared for in the home of someone they did not know."
