The Kidnapper

It was a cool, crystal clear night as Daniel and Finn pretended to sleep. They could hear the hooting of a nearby owl. A holiday is something that you are supposed to enjoy, however they hadn’t done a single thing that was fun. They vowed that they would have some fun that night. What they didn’t know was that this vow would lead them into danger.
A few minutes later they were stood outside their terraced house. They synchronised a deep breath and paced towards the forest.

The murky mud seeped into their wellington boots and the swaying trees blocked their vision. Annoying ants were climbing into the trees and the irritating flies went “Buzz” as though they were bees. They were as noisy as bees so they could have been bees.
All of a sudden, from behind him, a man on a motor bike snatched Finn and drove off with him.
“Daniel, Help me! I’m being kidnapped!” Finn screamed.
“I’m coming! I promise!” Daniel replied, not wanting to give up.

With a new power to his legs, Daniel bolted towards the van. The murky mud was not hindering him any more. Trees swayed from side to side and Daniel felt his strides getting longer and more frantic. With each glide he got nearer and nearer towards the vehicle. Soon the world didn’t matter, his only brother needed his help and Daniel would give it to him. Soon Finn was in arms reach, however the bike violently swerved and Daniel was left by himself. Finn, and all hope, had gone.

Daniel felt completely and utterly alone. His hugest companion had been taken away from him and left him without any hope. He felt his heart beating through his ears and just wanted the ground to open and swallow him up. Soon he was too tired to be conscious and fell asleep.

The next morning, he woke up in his bed with amnesia. He was right next to Finn and seemed to be holding someone’s hand. When he looked up he saw that it was his girlfriend Ella. She kissed him on the lips and said “You’ll be fine babe, I promise.”
