Caught

Screaming within I was captured. I was put in a chamber. Being forced to choose to save my best friend, myself, or my sister. If I chose to save my sister me and my best friend would die. I tried to scream but nothing came out but a slight puff of air. I grasped ahold of the chain hanging tightly around my neck and loosely around my ankles. Fear struck me as I noticed me and my sister along with my best friend were all in the same situation. I reached out to possibly hug them but as soon as I took a step forward the chain launched me up sending a shock through my body as I slowly made my retreat down.


A face appeared tv in front us. “Listen, you fools. I need you, Abigail to choose who lives and who doesn’t.” A man popped into the scream and the words almost floated into my brain and then right out. A timer clicked and clicked on the wall. I gulped and looked towards my choices. Suddenly I felt no pressure. They—had to live. It’s be humanly impossible for them both to live and me still stand on the earth. I sighed and trashed into my thoughts. “I’ve made my decision. But, I have a deal.” The man was intrigued and immediately asked, “Really? Well haha that’s funny.” I wasn’t going to take no for an answer. “Listen sir. My deal is that if I can out run you and your team, then we all three get to leave but if we don’t, I die and they live. ” he snicked, “oh your serious. Your time is up. Better run.” He laughed and his gang appeared out of every wall. But I knew I wasn’t going to outrun them—but they would. As the goons attacked me I signaled for them to leave. At least my sister and my best friend would be safe. I then hurled the men off me and began to run. But more kept coming, eventually the only thing I could do was let fate run its course. Down I went, long gone.
