Rescued

By Ayaan, 10, Australia

Bam! I wake up and see that I have been thrown into a cage. I look around and see my captors. One of them is tall, and the other one is skinny. They look at me. One of them sneers and says,” Boss will be happy with us”.

I scream, ”Who are you and why are you doing this to me?”. All they do is chuckle and walk away. I sit down and think about why I have been taken. My head spirals with a million theories and each one is stranger than the last. Eventually I fall asleep.

When I wake up, I see someone looking at me along with my captors. The tall guy says,” This is the boss, little kid”.

”This one will do nicely”, the boss says, “Put him in the energy sucker”. The skinny one unlocks the door and drags me out. He laughs and tells me, “The boss is making a staff that is so powerful that he will be able to take over the world. He needs the energy from people to power the staff. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt. It will just feel like you’re being pulled apart”.

He puts me into a narrow tube and seals it up. “Start the energy sucker” commands the boss.

“Uh boss, one of the tubes have snapped,” says skinny guy.

“Go down and fix it, then”, says the boss, “and be quick about it”. Out of the corner of my eye, I see that the skinny guy is taken by a hooded figure but I don’t say anything.

The tall guy then goes down to help the skinny guy. He gets attacked too. Then the boss is the last one left.

I look right behind boss’ back and see a hooded figure sneak towards him. Suddenly the figure, attacks the boss with a kick on the head. Boss slams on the ground and the figure comes to me and frees me.

The figure takes its mask off and I see my best friend George. He says, “Come on, we have to run before they wake up”.

As we run, I have a billion questions in my mind but, we would have time later for those. For now, we run!
