Ten years

Trapped

Me and my brother  John were walking down to the store i was only 7 and he was 10. I thought he was the biggest hero back then when he would buy me a piece of candy or offered me a ride on his shoulders on the way back to the house.

We rounded the dark corner, we saw all the bright city lights we cant see from under the bridge. I stand for a moment in awe of how pretty it all was when i feel a rough hand clamp over my mouth.

I freak out flailing my arms and kicking my legs going crazy and John turned when he realized i was no longer beside him but he was to late we were already halfway down the street and i was thrown over his shoulder.  

I punched his back with all my might but it was no use what was a tiny little girl going to do to a huge giant man. I give up my whole body goes limp and im doomed.

i see John running full speed towards us and then jumps on the mans back latching on to his face the man stops completely and we both push away from him and ran as fast as we could.

We round two corners and we were approaching another when the same man from earlier steps in front of us so we turn and run the other way only to be blocked by two more giants i hug John tightly and close my eyes then they grab us again.

"LET US GO!" John yells at the top of his lungs.

They just laugh and continue to walk towards a white van. They throw us into the back and lock the door. I began to sob loudly and hug John again he just hugged me back but remained silent.

"Where are they taking us?"  I ask tears streaming down my face.

"I don't know but i wont let them hurt you i promise." he says with determination written all over his face. I just snuggle closer to him and try to sleep.
