Madison

"See you tomorrow, Madison. Don't be late again!" Cathy yelled behind me as I exited the store. I threw my hand above my head and gave a half hearted wave.

As of right now it's ten o'clock on a Friday night and my shift at Cathy's cakes just ended. No I don't have a car so I'm stuck walking, the exact reason i'm always late to work, back to the orphanage.

Yes. I said orphanage. Long story short, my mom and dad decided they'd be better off without me and left when I was twelve years old. Here I am four years later, sixteen years old, no car, crappy job, no friends, a bitchy boss, and an orphanage that's in very poor condition to call 'home'. So yeah, my life isn't great but I guess it could be a lot worse.

I hate Friday nights. Around this time New York city really starts to come alive. The streets are busy and the people who fill it are obnoxiously loud.

I walk my usual path through Time Square, but realize how bad of an idea it really turned out to be. I could barely force my small body through the large crowds of people cluttering the sidewalks. Eventually I find the ally that leads down to the orphanage and slip out of the crowd.

The ally is quite long, pretty dark and actually kind of creepy, but it's the quickest way to the orphanage, therefore it's the best way.

I hear what sounds like a glass bottle being kicked and look behind me to see two men. I don't think much of it at first, they could just be drunk and on their way home from a party or something.

I keep walking and look back a minute later to see the two men a little too close for my liking. I walk faster trying to get out of the secluded ally as quick as possible.

I was about two yards from being out of the ally and being able to see the orphanage when I felt a cloth placed against my mouth and nose. I started screaming and trying to break out of the mans hold. I looked ahead of me to see another man grabbing my feet and lifting my body off the ground. They carried me back deeper into the ally.

The more breaths I took in the more aware I became of whatever substance was on the cloth. Its as if all the energy in my body was drained and my limbs lost the will to fight.

I heard a car pulling into the ally and looked to see a dark van. A man opened one of the large sliding doors from the inside while the men holding me placed me inside the van.

As they drove off to god knows where, my eyes became heavy and I blacked out.

Actual chapters will be longer than this.
