Before I begin, I would just like to say this is a story I am making. I got the idea of writing a story from Brandon's Story, plus I've had experience with making stories. So I thought, hey! Why not? Let me know what you think.

CHAPTER 1
It was a day I couldn't forget. A day I'll be cursed to remember for the rest of my life.

No. curse is too strong a word. But then, should I care? Should I care about what I call it, what it did to me? Maybe I should just put it all behind. Live in another state, and change my name, my age. Heck; even a gender change if it comes down to it. I could start over.

No. I could never start over. It was just....there. It just happened. Leaving it behind will solve nothing. I'll go through sleepless nights, uncomfortabley shifting in all directions; sweating, heavily breathing, my mind racing at three-thousand miles per hour. And if I did fall asleep, I'd have a nightmare so bad, that I'd just have one more reason not to go to sleep.

I can't put it behind. It's un-put-behind-able. Is that a word? Again, though; should I care?

I guess an explantion is owed to you, isn't it? I guess I owe you that, since I've dragged you into my world, where I am the victim, and all you are...is the watcher. Well, it all began like this.

It was a bright sunny day. Not a cloud in the sky, so no rain. How convienient? I was gonna spend my whole Saturday morning on the computer anyway. "You've got 30 minutes, and then I need to check something" my mom said, right before I went into the computer room.

The daily routine: check Mcleodgaming.com for updates, visit Smash4ideas.wikia.com and maybe work on my wiki, check the weekly Super Nuke Bros. Update, go to Runouw.com, and that's basically it. I typed in Mcleodgaming.com, only to see that there was--you guessed it--no update.

Finally after everything else, I went to Runouw.com to see my fellow friends. But all of a sudden, I heard a loud shriek. "AHHHH!"

It was my mom.

I ran into the kitchen, because that's where I could've sworn I heard the shriek. But yet, no mom. I checked in her bedroom, but nothing.

Where could she be? I desperately yelled "MOM!" Ten seconds pass. Not a sound. "MOOOOM!" I scream a second time, as loud as I can. Nothing.

Wait a minute, I thought. Outside? Yes, she could be outside. But then, where I live, outside is a completely different world.

Without hesitation, I dashed to the front door, and opened it, only to fall on my butt from the force of the pull. Dangit! This was no time for minor things like this. I got back up, unlocked the door, opened it, and ran.

But my car was gone. Well, okay, not my car; my parents' car, but you know what I mean.

Where could they have gone? Though the head-boggling question still popped into my head; why did my mom shriek?

After about 5 minutes, I finally realized; my dad was gone too! They must've been somewhere together. That gave me an idea. I simply call my dad on his cellphone. But then, how do I call him? We had no housephone, and chances were, my mom took her phone as well. I went against those chances, and searched for her phone.

I figured the most appropriate place to searh was their bedroom. But I looked and looked and looked. Nothing. Suddenly I noticed something behind one of the family photos on the shelf: the phone! But it was my dad's phone. Crap! He must've forgot it, which probably means that my mom forgot hers since they were probably in a hurry. What's worse is even if she did remeber to bring it; I didn't know the number. Well, now what do I do?

The question still sprang into my head; why did my mom scream? I didn't know, and my brother, Alex--who was still sleeping--didn't know eaither. What would I do now? I didn't know where they were, or how long they'd be, or if they'd ever come back.

So, to take all of this off my mind, I did what I usually do when I'm bored: mess with my brother! I ran and jumped on top of his side, only to find a fist in the nuts. "AHHHH! DUDE! WHAT THE HECK?!" I kicked the couch he was sleeping on, to show my anger.

I realized something. He wasn't looking at me. He had his hand cupped to his face, where his eyes peeled, even though no one could see him. "Uhh..You okay?" I asked. No answer. I moved his hand away, only to find him in silent tears.

"Alex, what happened?" I aksed. I could be a pain in his side sometimes, but I was very considerate of him.

He didn't answer, but he didn't have to. I knew what was wrong with him. He saw what happened to mom.

Cool. I wonder what happens next.........

Well, it's a good start, but like I said to Buff, you guys are trying to write too complex. Somethings don't go together well, even if you use fancy words. You're doing good though.

You know, almost all of these stories have some sort of disclaimer relating to my story, but you know what? I actually like you guys writing little stories, and you're definitely not copying me. I know that my fic is the greatest, most hilarious, awesome, super-cool and chevere story of all time[/completelackofmodesty], but I like reading stories as much as I like writing them. Keep it up guys. Catch up to me if you can

Wow... thats good ! I wonder what happened? Can't wait !

CHAPTER 2
A while later...

I didn't know what else to do, so I just asked my neighbors if I could stay at their house.

Yeah, that's right. My parents never came back. I just couldn't except that...my parents were most likely dead. It'd been, like, 5 hours. I ended up calling police, but they never found them.

Anyway, Alex never told me what he saw. "Dude, come on. Just tell me" That was about the tenth time I said it, but yet he said nothing. Well, not "nothing"; it was more like he was ignoring the question. Like, the first time I asked him, I said "You know what happened to mom, don't you?"

But he quickly replied "Idon'tknow" then changed the subject, "Hey dude, wanna play me in Wii Sports?"

"NO! I DON'T! I NEED TO KNOW WHERE MY PARENTS ARE, OR WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM, AND YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS!" I screamed. "Ya boys want something to eat?" The neigbor said. He was a tall hillbilly, but he dressed in normal clothes.

"No thanks" I replied.

I guess I shouldn't be too hard on Alex, though. I knew what he had been through, and what he had seen. Well, okay, no. I don't know what he had seen, but we loved our mom so much; if something could make her scream in such a horrible manner...

AAAAAH. The scream still floated around, as if she was still screaming. Never had I heard such a thing.

All I wanted to do now was visit my friends on Runouw.com, but Joey (the name of my neigbor) didn't have a computer. So I asked him "Hey, Joey. Can I just head over to my house and get my computer, so I can have something to do?"

"Naww, you ain't going over there for nothing, little rascal."

Rascal?

"Why not?" I quickly responded.

"Cause they ain't no going over there, little man. Do I make myself clear?"

"Why....not?" I slowly asked again. I guess I needed to.

"Well, I guess I'm not clear. Hold up a sec." And he stormed off in the kitchen to get something. Me and my brother exchanged looks. This guy is crazy I'm sure we both were thinking.

Joey came out with a big sign that said "OFF LIMITS" written in red. He hung it on a nail in the door. "There, seein' as how you need the extra instructions, here ya go. I've gotta shotgun in the back, and if EITHER ONE OF YOU opens that door, well; lets just say it'll be the first time I use it in 4 years." With that, I grabbed Alex on the shoulder and dragged him into another room to tell him something.

But Billy-boy just had to screw it up. "YOU BOYS GET BACK OUT HERE, I DON'T WANT YOU ANYWHERE WHERE I CAN'T SEE YOU.

Alex whispered into my ear "What's going on?" I wish I could give him an answer, but I couldn't, so I just whispered back "I don't know."

I think the guy was off his meds. No, seriously. My dad had one time told me about him taking some time of med, but rather he took too much, or not at all; I needed to call the police.

One problem, though. He didn't have a phone either.

Uh-oh! blablob is stuck with a hillbilly! Dun-Dun Duuuuuun!

CHAPTER 3
What to do, I thought.

Me and my brother had taken desperate measures; we were gonna run away as fast as we could. Billy-boy was watching T.V, so we gave him the slip by throwing something at his window, breaking it. "What in the hell was that?" He said. He walked to the window. That's where we made our move.

We quickly opened the door, and slammed it shut behind us.

As we were running to the nearest 7-11, I heard a loud gun shot, followed by some girl screaming. She was looking behind us, and I didn't even have to look to know he was trying to shoot us.

"WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, YOU LOONATIC?!" The woman yelled. We quickly dashed into the 7-11, but a gunshot broke the window. Wow. This guy was relentless.

We went up to the guy at the cash register and I told him "Call 911. That guy's trying to kill us."

The guy was just standing there, though.

"Didn't you here me? That guy's gonna kill all of us!"

"Now, there ain't nothing to worry about, kiddies."

The way he said that gave me a shiver. Billy-boy stepped into the door, where he pointed the gun at me. "AHHH! Sir, help!" I desperately screamed.

But I looked up at him, and he was just smiling, looking back at Billy-boy. What was this? Had they planned this? Did it have to do with my parents' dissapearence?

"Please, don't kill us." I said.

"What do you think, Jake? Should we kill 'em?" Joey said.

"He he. You know Dagger hasn't had anything to eat in a while. Let's wake him up and see if he's hungry."

What was this? Two things ran through my mind. One: What is this? The Texas Chainsaw Massacre? And two: Who...or WHAT, was Dagger?

Jake grabbed us by surprise around our necks, and we were squirming to get away. Never had I felt so helpless.

He dragged us into a back room, full of dirty comic books and old video tapes. The room looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years, and it smelled like it too.

The guy just through us into the room, and quickly closed the door behind us.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We just patiently waited for something to happen; Dagger to eat us, Joey to shoot us, whatever. Okay, that's a lie, because how can you be patient in a time like this?

"You wanna tell me what happened with mom, now?" I finally asked Alex.

He sighed. "I didn't see the whole thing. I woke up to a loud scream, and I saw mom on the ground, crying. Then dad dragged her outside, and they left."

He was beginning to cry.

"Why didn't you do anything or say anything to them?" I asked him.

"Well, I was going to, but right before I got up, dad pointed his finger at me, so I had to lay back down."

"I HATE when he does that."

"Me too."

"Right?"

We waited for about 2 minutes to pass without saying anything. Alex was just sitting there, and I was just fumbling through the comics.

"Why didn't you tell me, though?" I asked.

"I don't know." He said.

"Come on, Alex, that's the lamest excuse ever."

"Well?"

A few more minutes past. It sure was quiet, except for the sound of water dripping, but God knows what that could be?

Just for the heck of it, I decided to see if the door was locked, and guess what? IT WAS! I wasn't expecting it not to be, but, at least I gave it a try.

It suddenly hit me. We were being held hostage. Well, sorta. I mean, I couldn't believe it. After all this, I realized my life could end. Thirteen years old, and that's it. How could it end so....bad? I wanted to die of old age, happy, married, and NOT a hostage. I had so much to look forward to. A job, a wife, kids, collage, everything. And then, it's moments like this that make you see what's ahead of you, or...what could've been ahead of you. Me and my brother...we were gonna die. I couldn't believe it, but the proof was for me to look around. How could it come to...this?

I silently cried to myself.

The flow of the suspense is excellent! Great job!

Thanks! I'm gonna try to be original with this, instead of the classic "Get kidnapped and escape" method. The entire chapter 3 will either be released tonight or tomorrow most likely. I'm gonna work on making longer chapters.

Okay.
