It started at the salad bar

Chapter two

After a long silent car ride we finally made it out of all the trees and came upon a mansion.

I thought he said he was taking me to his house?

This is so not a house.

I can't help, but be in awe of the mansion in front of me. Its polished, white, and the grass is an unnatural shade of bright green.

I thought kid- and adult- nappers were poor! This guy is loaded.

He stops the car, and before I can open it he does. He gently, but warningly grabs my wrist.

Where am I gonna run? All there is is stinkin' trees!

"Just in case" he says.

"I said that out loud. Didn't I?" I ask.

"Yup" he pops the p. He looks to be about twenty-one.

Only two years older.

Stop thinking about your adultnapper In a sexual way! Bad Evie!

He leads me up the walkway and into the 'house' as he calls it. We walk into a living room, and he lightly pushes me onto the couch.

I thought kid-and adult- nappers were mean and rough?

"Stay" he orders.

I bring my hands near my chin, to seem like paws.

"Woof"

"Ugh!" He sighs running his hands through his jet black hair. I just want to run my hands through-

STOP IT!!!

"Please stay" he looks me in the eye and I can tell that he's on the verge of begging.

I'd like to see that.

"Where am I supposed to go? I'd probably just have to live in a tree, but you'd find me, so what's the use?" I shrug. I will run after he feeds me I decide.

He sighs and stomps out of the room.

Childish much?

I suddenly remember my phone, but....

Just then a red haired girl skips down the flight of stairs and into the living room.

I notice she has the same emerald green eyes as my adultnapper. along with the eye color she also has a tan. On the other hand, she has red hair and freckles. She looks to be maybe a year younger than me. Fresh out of high school. she stops and stares at me.

"What are you doing here?" She asks suspiciously.

"Oh! You don't know?" How could she not know her brother- I'm guessing- is an adultnapper.

"Know what?" Now she looks curious.

"By the color of your eyes and your skin color, I'm guessing it was your brother who adultnapped me"

"WHAT?!" She screeches. I have to cover my ears.

"Yeah, see I was just getting my food at the salad bar! Next thing I know our fingers brush and he screams mine! I am not an object! He throws me over his shoulder and here I am!" I throw my hands up in the air. My purse jingles, reminding me my phone is in there. I can feel it through the fabric, taunting me.

"Wait! Back up! Did you feel any tingles?" She asks. My eyes grow wide.

"H-how did.... Huh?" I am so confused right now it isn't even funny!

"Don't worry. You're safe here" damn she was my only hope of escaping. maybe I shouldn't have told her.

My stomach grumbles reminding me I haven't eaten anything other than oatmeal, and it's probably almost 7:00.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! Umm.... I'll get you something to eat when Damon gets back" she says sitting down on the chair in front of me. So that's his name. She presses a button and the chair starts to vibrate.

How rich are these people?!

Must be aliens.

"S-o-o-o w-what's y-y-ou-our n-na-ame?" I just barely understood her.

"Evangeline, but I prefer Evie." I answer.

"O-oh. M-m-my n-n-name I-is J-Joi" Joi says. I think it kind of fits her. She seems pretty cheerful.

Damon walks back into the living room and surveys the scene.

"H-h-hey b-big br-bro!" Joi greets she turns off the massage chair. " we're just chillin'"

"So..." I start drawing their attention to me. " Damon, why did you adultnap me?" I ask emphasizing his name now that I know who he is.

"Reasons" he answers. He looks kinda worried. Hmm.

"Well, since you adultnapped me..... where's the food you promised?" Yes, I am really hungry. Don't judge.

Wait.
Who am I talking to?

Maybe an alien is writing down all my thoughts and feelings! I hope I'm the main character that would be sooo cool!

OMG! AN ALIEN IS WRITING DOWN ALL OF MY THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS!

Laughing cuts me off of my mini party. It's then I realize I'm jumping up and down.

"Do I want to know?" Damon asks chuckling. Why is he so hot?

"An alien is writing down all of my thoughts and feelings" I nod proudly.

"Aliens huh?" He asks amusement clear in his voice.

"Yes!" I nod vehemently. "anywhore! Where's my food?! I demand answers!" I put on my best stern face.

"If you were listening I told you" I blush. he must have told me while I was thinking about aliens.

"Oh" I say.

"It's in the kitchen" he points to the door he went in earlier.

As soon as those words leave his mouth I'm sprinting towards the kitchen.

Food here I come!

I stop as soon as I'm in the doorway. A bunch of people are staring at me.

There looks to be four. Two girls and two boys.

It kind of resembles a double date.

One girl with black hair is sitting on a blonde boys lap holding out a Mountain Dew container so the boy can't reach it. they pause. Suddenly the girl drinks half of the bottle ignoring the guy's protests and smiles at me.

I take that time to study the other two. Their holding hands, and they're rested on the guy's lap. The girl has blonde hair and the boy has brown. They seem to be sharing a smoothie.

All four of them look at me and smile.

How many people live here?!

They must be supernatural or business extraordinaries.
