A Nightmare

A young girl getting kidnapped when she is 3 and her sister looking for her

“Natalia!” My Mum shouted through the kitchen window towards backyard calling for my sister. "Natalia!" she shouted at the highest level of her voice but Natalia was so busy playing it was like no-one was calling her.

"Melanie, get that girl in, before I lose it!" I could hear my Mum's voice rising up with every word she spoke in that sentence. I quickly finished washing up, dried my hands and started to walk towards the door leading to backyard. I didn't complain or moan about it and asked her to ask my brother, Daren, to get Natalia in.

I had twin non-identical sisters. They were only 3 of years and I was 10. My brother, 9 of age, couldn't be asked to get Natalia in before my Mum loses her temper. Mum didn't ask him because I knew what he would've done: go outside, ask Natalia once to get in, she won't listen slap hardly once or twice on her back or arm, hold her wrist tightly, force her to stand up and finally drag her inside. Mum couldn't take that risk but she simply asked me because 2 reasons: I was near Mum, in kitchen and I was oldest of them all and she thought I was responsible enough. But I know I wasn't. I wasn't even that mature for my age.

I was about to get Natalia up when my other sister, Gabriela, came running outside. That's when I took my eyes off Natalia and turned to Gabriela.

"Sis, would you help me in making a princess castle?" She asked me with those innocence filled eyes staring right into mine and I couldn't reject.

"Yeah, sure Gabe. Let’s take Nate as well so we can build a big one, okay?" I answered to her with a calming voice. A big smile spread across her face and she nodded with a sudden jolt.

"Nate, lets----" I turned around to get Natalia with us in but a terrific shock hit my body and travelled through it, shaking it badly as I could feel it. It was like something has gone wrong. However, that is true; a shock did hit me because Nate was no-where in sight.

I searched for her everywhere: back street, the house, backyard for like five times but she was nowhere. I knew something had gone wrong because this petrifying shock had never hit me before or even if it did, it only would've been a serious situation. I asked Mum if she has seen Natalia, five times or may be more but the answer was same every time: no.

Wait! I haven't asked Daren yet! May be he knows. I thought and started to run towards my brother's room.

"Daren! Daren!" I shouted his name twice in case he was somewhere else so he would reply and let me know. My voice so alarming that even someone was sleeping deeply would've woken up. "Daren! Have you seen Nate?" I asked him first thing upon reaching to the door of his room. I was full of exhaustion but I hadn't had any time to stop and pull my breath together. "No.", his voice was so calm and relax it made me to worry more.

I left and ran to Nate's and Gabe's room for like fourth time and searched for them. Every single time I found Gabe playing with her building blocks but not Nate. "Gabe, have you seen Nate anywhere?", I asked Gabe, hurriedly.

"No." She replied in her childish voice. It was calm just like Daren.

Why isn't everyone worried? They don't know where Nate is and they are so calm. It's making me uneasy! I thought while running downstairs.

Wait a moment! I stopped in midway and a flash of hope ran across my face lighting it slightly. I haven't checked front yard yet. Maybe she is there. I was already stepping out of the front door when I finished that thought off.

That's when I saw her.

That's when I saw a car.

That's when I saw a man in whole white suit with a hat.

That's when I saw the man holding the door of the car to Nate.

"NATE!" I shouted first but she didn't hear me and got in the car. The man turned and I knew I had seen that face before. A wicked smile had spread across his face. His black eyes were pinned into my dark brown eyes. I knew I had seen that smile and those eyes before.

"NATE!" This time I screamed her name. "NATE!", I started to run towards the car. It was still far from where I was. The man had started to walk to the other side of the car. I was in the midway when he opened the door and entered in the passenger seat next to Nate's.

"NATE!" It was last time I shouted her name. By the time I got near to the car, the driver started the engine and was already driving.

My eye lids flash opened and I lifted my body into straight sitting position without any jolt. I was sitting straight in less than two seconds. "Nate!", I almost half shrieked my sister's name. I looked around my room with my wide open eyes. I am in my room. Then my gaze turned to the wall in front of me where my purple and white clock was hanging. And it's only 1.30 of night. I started to feel my face, limbs and head to see if everything was in place. Everything is here. I pinched myself hardly on my left arm to make me believe that I was in my room. I let a squeaky 'ow' out of my mouth. Thank God. I said it in my head and relaxed my shoulders. Thank you so much.

I was glad by that time because I realized that it was only a nightmare that disturbed my peaceful sleep.

Author's Note

It's a real nightmare that I had when I was 10 about one of my sister getting kidnapped and the other morning I was shaking with fear and thought of it. My twin, non-identical sisters are the best thing that ever happened to me.
I changed names and last paragraph to make it more fictional. Hope you like it. Do review and let me know if there are any grammar and/or spelling mistakes.

This was very good. I have had some dreams that are so vivid they seem real. And they are usually HORRIBLE. It was good that you cuold put into words a dream like this.

Thank you ^^

O_O Wow. That's pretty intense for a dream.
I really liked it a lot, it was very descriptive, and the tone had that sense of calm-to-worry-to-urgent that one would expect from this sort of vision. Well done, you! ^_^
