It started out like any other normal day. Erin, a young girl, was walking home from her middle school in Mattoon, a small town in Illinois. It was late fall, and she delighted herself by crunching the crisp leaves that had fallen as she walked. She usually walked home with her friends, and she had indeed started the three-mile trek home with them, but they stopped to take a break. So she went ahead, waving, laughing, and screaming at them to catch up. She would later regret making so much noise- it drew attention to her, and that was her first mistake.
Walking about a half-mile ahead her friends, Jessica and Susan, she stopped to tie the shoelace of her ripped, muddy turtle Converse. She brushed her long, silky blonde hair out of her eyes and bent down, averting her eyes from the road to her shoelace. It took her about three seconds to tie her shoe, but that was all they needed. She looked up to see a black Toyota speed towards her, and stop. Right next to her.
Two men- she knew by their large builds- jumped out. They were sprinting at her, both clothed in all black. Their most disturbing feature by far was a long, intricate black mask they both wore. The larger one sprinted towards her and grabbed her roughly by the arm, dragging her towards the car, as the smaller one opened the car door. It took Erin a moment to decipher what was going on, but she soon realized that she had to break free. “What the heck?” she screamed, “Stop it! Get away from me! HELP!” She tried with all of her might to escape this treachery, punching, kicking, and biting him. Unfortunately, the man was too strong, and he was successfully dragging her to the car. She frantically spared a look behind her, and her friends were running as fast as they could to her rescue, but they were still blocks away and she was almost to the car.
With a jolt of adrenaline and power one can only achieve from their deepest fear, she slipped out of his grip and swung her backpack at the man’s head. Hard. It made solid contact and she could hear the thump of her biology book against the man’s skull. She was sure he would be knocked unconscious, but didn’t stop to look. She ran with all her might. Just when she thought she was free, the mystery man got up, and now succeeded dragging her to the car. He threw her inside, the slamming of the car door muffling her frantic scream. She was trapped, and scared. A petrified prisoner.

(P.S.- I'm writing this story to reflect on one of my greatest fears, because I believe that the only way to get rid of your fears is to face them. In a way, this helps me face my fear...... safely, to say. Sorry if you think I'm wierd or it's too scary, but trust me, this is not something I think about often, if it possibly comes on to you like that. Toodles!!)
