The clouds were light and snowing grey as they moved gently across the silky pail blue sky.

Well, I just stood there watching the world go by. Seeing how every living thing moves and goes by their daily lives. I was just helping myself to a fantasy book about Romeo & Juliet and how he loved her, and how I could love someone the same. Until Mom came and got me and we went like any other person in the world to our weekly shopping centre.

When Mom and I were walking to the car some guy came and saw me reading my book all alone like I was in an imaginary world of my own and said “My favourite book.”

I just stared at the man who was dressed all in black except his navy blue jeans which were a bit shagged.  But all of a sudden he pulled me away from Mom and all I can remember was the screams of my Mom echoing around me like bits of dust filling my ears.

I could hardly believe what I just experienced, a man taking me away from my own Mother. But now all I can see is nothing, pitch darkness, so now all I can do is close my eyes and wait a bit longer till I see day light again.

I woke up in an unfamiliar place. I couldn’t tell if it was still day or if it was night. So, for that I got up and stepped on the cold bear floor and tip toed to the end of the room were the door was. I carefully opened the door slightly to see what was on the other side. It was still day! But then I saw two guys dressed like the man who took me away from my Mother , talking, talking about something that the only words I could catch was “What to do with her?”

What did that mean, if they were talking about me well; they took me so put up with me it isn’t that hard. I quietly ran back to the bed and waited. And so one of the guys slammed the door back and took me by my arm, quite hard. “Stop,” shrieked another man dressed the same but he was younger than the other. The man who had my arm in his fist pushed me away and into the younger ones arms. He just walked away and left me with the younger one. When he had gone the younger one said” Are you alright?” I just nodded my head.  

After the time-consuming awkward silence, the man finally asked “What’s your name?’’

I hesitated for a moment and replied” Marley!”

He looked at me with deep young wide brown eyes and said” What a lovely name, well, nice to meet you Marley, my name is um, well everyone calls me Jaime”

I just stared at him, doesn’t he even know his own name, weird but any way I just said” Oh hi Jaime!’’

I really didn’t know if I could trust this ‘Jaime’, surely he’s just the same as the other two. But I didn’t know that for sure so I just believed that he was no different and made conscience to every move and step he ever took.
