I was at an outdoor house party with my sister Christy, my cousin Cassie, and my cousin Taylor. I saw my first boyfriend from 5th grade, Eric, there as well. We kept making eye contact through out the whole night. I ended up getting split up from my group and was on a very large balcony of the house. All of a sudden it started to pour down rain, the rain wouldn't stop. It became so bad everything began to flood. I was stuck on the second floor with so many stressed out strangers, they all began to panic. From all of the chaos, the screws and bolts that were keeping us alive began to come loose, the balcony was holding on for dear life. And then just like a teen dream movie, my night in shining armor, Eric, appears and literally swoops me up and throws me down the stairs hand well which I excitedly slid down. It was such an adrenaline rush. He saved me, so far. But I couldn't just leave everyone else up there to die, so I tried putting a very unstable file cabinet and box together on top of one another so the people could climb down. Eric came up to me and said "what are you doing? That's not going to work" I responded back by saying "but I have to save them" which he then became a hero for a second time and said "I'll get them down, you just get out of here" and he then handed me 2 dogs to save. I made sure the dogs got across the now flooded river safely and I kept them with me. I didn't know what to do until I bumped into Taylor! I was so happy to see her. We tried calling Christy and Cassie over and over again but no answer. All I kept thinking was they must be dead, I remember hating saying this with all of me, "they must have drowned." But I wasn't going to accept that, it was getting dark and I couldn't rest until I knew they were okay so I told Taylor that we had to go back. It had an eerie feel to it this time, we were walking up the path to enter into the gates when all of a sudden a crusty kid started running after us, we tried running faster away from him out of fear but he soon caught up to us, we were excepting the worst but got relief. Kind of. He was trying to warn us about what the place that we were entering into has become. "Since people are trapped in there, the government has taken advantage of it and are killing and using people as slaves" he said. We thanked him for his warning and kept on. We reached the gate to notice some huge body building looking men. They looked semi-professional. We knew these were the new "leaders" that kid was telling us about. But I had to get inside, I had to know if my sister was okay so I asked them if they have seen or heard of anyone named Christy or Cassie. They said they've never heard of them. So I asked if I could go inside to look, they denied my request which really upset me so Taylor and I, mainly me, tried pushing my way through. Of course it was a failed attempt...I lied and told them that I was leaving, I knew that if I could fly, yes fly, I could fly right over them and get myself in. So as soon as I started to take off the ground, I felt someone grabbing me at my same level. I looked at Taylor and saw her in the air too, she shouted out "they can fly too San!" It was the macho man, and woman. They were off the ground as well, the woman had a hold of Taylor and the man had me. They were taking us to some bad place where they imprison people I guess. I couldn't let him take me so I used all of my strength and wiggled my way out of his arms and escaped. They still had Taylor though. I was torn between Taylor and Christy though, but feeling as though I got Taylor into that terrible predicament and since she couldn't fly like I could which leaves her even more vulnerable, I had to go after her now. I got my two dogs and asked one of the pups to sniff their way to Taylor, surprisingly he understood me and we began our new mission until I awoke, bittersweet. I'll never know if Christy and Cassie were okay and I didn't get to Taylor. Maybe there will be a part 2. Haha.
