Part 1

"Lane!" i heard my sisters voice scream echo through my ears. I turn to see the men dragging her away from me. "We will only keep one, just throw the other one in the river" i heard one of the men say. I feel my body lift, and i watch as my sister fades into the distance.

I wake in a cold sweat, my heart racing from the fear. I relive it every night, my sister being taken from me. My name is Ralane Ruby, i am now 18 and a freshmen in college. My sister was taken 3 years ago, her name is Emmy Ruby, we have neverd been able to find her, she was only 13 when i lost her. I try and take my mind off of it. I look at my clock flashing 2:45 and sigh. I get up and go downstairs, into the kitchen and grab a glass of water. I look out the window into the darkness, i think about her often now, i wonder if she's alive or if her poor little body is floating in a river somewhere like they tried to do to me. I'm just setting there thinking to myself when i see a quick flash from a distance, i run to the door but hesitate at the handle. I cant bring myself to open the door, i haven't been out after dark since that night. Then i think to myself, if this person is taking pictures of me then maybe they know where or what happened to Emmy. I take a breath and spring outside, look for a moment then sprint in the direction i saw the flash. I run into the street when i see a figure turn down the ally. I'm just about to hit the ally when something in my mind tells me not too, but i ignore it and to anyway. I turn into the ally and see nothing, it looks empty so i begin to walk further into it when i feel something hit my arm. I look down to see a dart, its emitting warmth and numbness, then, as if in slow motion, i fall to the ground.
