The splendid breeze of the fall season gently blew, and instantly made goosebumbs appear on Liz’s back. Liz took in her surrounding and thought nothing would be better than this moment. It had been fall break and she decided to go to New York City with her friend Megan to visit her family, look around at apartments, and colleges.
“Don’t you think that next year is going to be difficult?” Liz asked Megan.
“ Well what do you mean? I’m not comprehending.”giggling Megan replied. “I mean like with all this school work we have to juggle, moving from Michigan to New York. It DEFINITELY is a lot I will say.I almost can’t believe it! It seems like it was just yesterday we had kindergarten and was in Miss Finkles class.” “Ha ha yeah, and I miss those little dumb songs she would make us sing to remember all those numbers, but look at us now, we’re in New York for crying out loud! And next year, you never know what’s gonna happen, we could be the next big thing! NO!...more like replacing Justin Bieber on the charts!...” nudging Liz’s shoulder Megan kept blabbing on with enthusiasm. Walking along the concrete sidewalk sipping on their hot chocolates that were half empty, Megan’s pink prada purse dropped. As she went to go pick it up, Liz thought this would be a funny moment to document as a memory. Liz pulled out her black, shiny, new flip camera and pressed the record button.
“Hey guys it’s Liz! Um Megan and I are in New York, you know just checking out things and Megan, knowing how clumsy she is, dropped her purse.” Laughing, Liz turned the camera over to Megan, and skittishly, Megan shield her face from the camera. “Liz,STOP!” Megan yelled. “Okay fine, Megan’s getting annoyed so I guess we’ll talk to you guys later.” When Liz closed the camera and put it back in her black buttoned down coats pocket, her phone began vibrating a million times...Oh no...it was her mom trying to reach her.
“Yeah mom?”Liz answered.
“ How’s the city treating you and Megan?” Liz’s mom asked. “What? Wait WHAT?!” Asked Liz putting the phone closer to her ear and placing her index finger to her right, red, cold, ear. She signaled Megan to come closer waving her hand back and forth as if she was fanning herself. Megan skimmpered over to Liz like a little mouseand began walking with Liz down the street into a dark and quiet alley.
Finally a quiet place.
“Okay sorry mom. It was too loud, I couldn’t hear what you were saying.”
“Well I was just calling to make sure you’re alright and where’s your father?” Liz’s mom queried. “ Oh he’s at Aunt Lanies job on 5th Ave. Not too far.”
“Okay stay safe Liz. And stick tight with Megan. I don’t want to hear any bad news saying that you went missing.”
“Ha ha very funny mom.” Liz said giggly into the microphone sarcastically.
“I’m being serious Liz, New York City isn’t a place to play around. If you want to live there, you MUST pay attention to what is around you.”
“Mom I know.” Liz said impatiently.
“Alright, on that note, I’ll let you go. Remember curfew. 12 o’clock and you have to go back to your father.” Liz’s mom said in a serious tone.
After 10 seconds of silence, Liz spoke into the phone softly into the phone, “I love you mom.”
“I love you too.” Liz’s mom replied. Before hanging up, it came to Megan’s realization it was pitch dark and she started to get paranoid of the vibe that filled the air.”Alright Mom, I got to go, talk to you soon. Bye.”
Those last words meant everything to Liz at this moment. It was now 11 pm. As the midnight darkness crept up slowly, the two teenaged girls became nervous, feeling practically stranded in the Big Apple;Home of new yorkers. A white van pulled up. With all their might, Megan and Liz began running away.When they reached the end of the alley, they thought they were safe.All of a sudden three guys with black hats on, Black winter coats, black sneakers, black gripping gloves, and denim levi jeans slowly appeared up behind Megan and Liz. The guys grabbed them and dragging them down the alley became a struggle as the two girls began kicking and screaming. The strangers covered Megan and Liz’s mouths almost blocking half of their noses , only leaving them with a limited supply of air. Megan bit the mysterious and unfamilars hand tasting the copper like blood.
“OW! SHE BIT ME!” Stranger number one yelled letting go of Megan. Megan, sprinting down the alley in tears, was heartbroken. Leaving her best friend behind wasn’t the greatest idea but that was one of the ways there could be help. Turning around the corner, Megan’s white pointy noise and her brown eye poked around the corner pressed against the old brick wall. She saw her friend being dragged and shoved into the back of the white van screaming for help. The wan door slammed and within seconds, her best friend was gone. Out of breath, Megan stopped looking at the alley and put her back against the brick wall.The clear tears ran down her pink rosy cheeks like a waterfall.
Groping around in her purse, tremblingly, she pulled out her phone and dialed for Liz’s dad.
“Hello?!” Megan yelled anxiously
“Whats wrong?” Liz’s dad Jerry asked.
“ITS LIZ! WE WERE WALKING, AND MONICA JUST HAD CALLED LIZ AND THESE TWO GUYS CAME AND TOOK US AWAY BUT I WAS ABLE TO ESCAPE...THEY HAVE HER STILL...I’M SO SORRY...” Megan’s sentence began to trail off. Suddenly every bone in Megans body felt like they were collapsing and breaking and making her become weaker and weaker inside, at every breath she took.
“Okay, where are you? Are you safe? I’m coming to get you now.” Jerry responded quiet frightened. “I’m right around the corner from 7th Ave.” Megan sobbed. The call was disconnected.
“Don’t you think that next year is going to be difficult?” Liz asked Megan.
“ Well what do you mean? I’m not comprehending.”giggling Megan replied. “I mean like with all this school work we have to juggle, moving from Michigan to New York.
