Chapter 1
I sit against the couch in the night as I doze off, I have left on the TV but I don’t realize till I wake up the next day. I get up and turn it off, oh great more money I will have to pay mother for, I think to myself, I may be 15, but I still have to pay my mother for stuff like that. I check to see if my mother is home, of course not she goes to work almost always early just to help us get more money. I then check on my brother, and sister. Good I don’t want them getting worried about mother, I think to myself. My parents are divorced, they got divorced when I was only 8 years old. Ever since then our family has been poor and been living in the nation of Talen, a nation that’s over 3,000 years old. I hear my 10 year old brother, Alex wake up, then my 8 year old sister, Ryan wake up. “Where’s mother, Celeste?” Ryan says very tiredly. “She had to go to work today early, Ryan” I tell my sister in a high pitched voice because I was trying to cheer her up, Ryan gets upset when mother doesn’t tell her goodbye. Alex comes in the room fully dressed, “Good morning, Celeste.” Alex says tiredly but trying to sound normal. “Morning, Alex.” I say, getting up to make us all breakfast. “What do you guys want for breakfast?” I ask them, “Eggs!” They say simultaneously, “Wow looks like you guys woke up happily, and thinking the same things.” I tell them while they continue laughing over the fact that they just said the same thing at the same time. “Ok, you guys that’s enough laughing!” I say a little bit too loud, because I am starting to laugh also. “Regular or scrambled” I ask while I crack the eggs open, “Scrambled.” Ryan says, “Regular.” Alex says. I had better get more eggs from the farmer a few blocks down…. I think to myself, while I look at the box that’s empty. While I scramble one of the eggs, Hopscotch, our dog whimpers down below at my feet for some. “No!” yell at him. “You know better!” I yell again, I like Hopscotch yet I don’t. Hopscotch walks away less happy then before. “Eggs are ready I say!” I say out loud to my brother and sister. I wait for them to answer but all I get is Ryan crying, I run outside after turning off the stove to see a cut on Ryan’s arm. “What happened? And where’s Alex?” I ask her as I calm her down. “He’s……..been kidnapped!” I nearly faint as I hear those words come out of Ryan’s mouth. “Who did?” I ask almost crying because I am very upset and worried about Alex. “I don’t know….I just heard him yell ‘help’ and I tried to grab him but the man cut me then…. that was it” She says still crying. “Go call mom ok? And lock the front door! I will be gone for a while!” I say as I head upstairs into my room, to grab my hunting jacket and boots, then I grab my knife and head out.
The end of Chapter one! Hope you liked it!
