OH MY GOD, I'M ACTUALLY DYING RIGHT NOW HAHAHAHAAAHAAHAH
Okay well a while ago I auditioned for a singing part in this production thingy and the other day I got an email to go back for a callback audition. So, I go in there, sing my song, and they start asking me questions about what kind of music I like.
Them: What is your favorite song at the
moment?
Me: I like Samson by Regina George.
Regina George.
Regina
George.
George.
So then I stand there and
have this laughing fit and the judges are just sitting there
like 'dafuq' So then I try to cover up but it
doesn't work so I'm just standing there laughing like a
socially retarded seal saying, "HAHAH! Sorry!
She's off mean girls!!" And they didn't even
laugh.
So, to cut a long story short, socially awkward people like me
should not attend callback auditions, and, if you're trying
to say Regina Spektor, make sure you practise before hand.
anyways, HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY

Chapter 7.
“It was a
while ago, maybe a year and a half when I moved here. From New
York to L.A. My parents are- let’s just say pretty
successful” He rolled his eyes slightly and looked to the
ground. “I remember them standing in the kitchen and
talking really quiet- whispering when they thought I was
asleep” In the dark I saw him shake his head. “And
uh- I guess I didn’t think much of it. But then- a month
was it?- a month ago they- they took me. I can’t remember
much of it- I just- I remember my Dad- he was just letting them
take us…” His voice cracked a little, and he
cleared his throat.
Us? What did he mean by ‘Us?’
“He just- he stood there and shook his head- and my Mum,
she was crying and screaming…” He stopped,
distance visible in his cloudy eyes.
“The worst part was my sister. She was just looking at
me… and I didn’t say anything. I didn’t- I
didn’t know how to-“
He kicked a stone on the ground and looked up the road in front
of us.
The landscape was beginning to change a little-
Instead of the complete barren wasteland we found ourselves in
before,
Every so often we would pass a farm or property propped beside
the faded, old road we were walking on now.
In the distance were the lights of the milk-bar, dull and blue-
but at least it was something.
James raised his head a little and continued on with his
story.
“So- Yeah- they must of knocked us out or something
because all I remember is waking up in the- the
black”
I murmured an agree, twisting my dirty blonde locks in my right
hand.
“We stayed there for a while- just working things out,
you know? Trying to- to comprehend. I guess when nothing
happened for a while they needed a prompt or something for Mum
and Dad. So they took her- they took Bella… and
they-“ He stopped abruptly, shaking his head back and
fourth to the ground.
“I found a torch. I turned it on- found the vent- and
I’d heard them talking about you sometimes- so I found
you. And- that’s where you came in”
He was shaking softly- and for a second I regretted asking him
about his past.
Who was Bella?
What did they do to her?
Was she still in there?
He laughed weakly.
A sick, twisted laugh and raised his face to the mass of stars
in the sky.
“Money, that’s all it was. Money for f//k’s
sake! Nothing important! I just wish that-“ Beside my
James stiffened, picking up a handful of dirt and throwing it
into the distance.
“We’re here” He muttered, and to my surprise,
I noticed we were standing right outside the milk-bar.
It was pale and faded blue, and looked like if a toddler blew
threw a bendy straw it would collapse to the ground In a series
of explosions.
I pushed open the door and a small bell in the corner of the
room alerted a plump lady of our presence.
She rushed over, folding down her pleated apron and adjusting
her hair in a ridiculous manner.
She smiled but it disappeared quickly when she caught sight of
us.
I could only imagine what I looked like.
Her carefully plucked eyebrows knotted together and she shot me
a ‘look’.
“What are you kids looking for tonight?” She asked
politely, avoiding eye contact with either me or James.
She probably thought we were teenage thugs or something.
And the sad part was, I couldn’t blame her.
James smiled kindly at her and brushed his hair out of his
eyes.
“Do you have some kind of a tab or something we could set
up?”
She frowned- making her chubby cheeks crinkle up.
“Do you mind me asking why? It’s very late, you
know”
James shifted uncomfortably next to me.
I could tell he was thinking the same thing as me.
Tell or not?
We had no proof- we didn’t even know where we were.
“We uh- we don’t have anywhere to stay- or anything
to eat”
Her face softened, revealing the tired kindness in her
eyes.
“Oh…” She looked guilty.
“I know that there is a hotel maybe what- 2 hours
away?”
James shook his head.
“We don’t have any money- or- we’re on
foot”
The lady looked stunned- and she had a reason to be.
“Why?” She blurted out- her eyes becoming red.
James looked nervous- scanning the area and then turning to
face the woman.
“Not here” He whispered, fiddling with his thumbs,
and shooting a quick glance to the door of the shop.
In the car park- barely visible was a grey ute-
Inside it, sat peering into the shop were the kidnappers.

Chapter 6.
Sometimes in
life there are those moment when things just seem to go by in
slow motion.
In a giant daze of events and everything seems squished
together and mixed up.
I felt like somehow I was watching it all happen through
someone else’s eyes.
Watching myself struggle to pull James out of his trance,
Watching the dark men chase the two helpless kids out of the
house.
The screaming and yelling and punching.
Blood and tears.
I felt like I was watching us run away if that makes sense.
I saw my face, the blood smeared across my left cheek and the
crazy, wild look in my eyes.
I saw James finally recognize what was going on and I saw the
guilt I his bright green ones.
Now the black is back.
We were crouched in a gutter somewhere, rain pouring down on us
and the cold was once again taking over my body.
“James, it’s okay” I whispered, awkwardly
rubbing his back.
He looked up at me,, making me suddenly feel overwhelmingly
sad.
“It’s not” He murmured softly, looking back
down to his worn out sneakers.
“We got away James! What do you mean it’s not
okay?”
He sighed loudly, linking his arms behind his head.
“Look at your face! It- It’s bleeding!”
I studied him carefully, watching the way his lips moved as he
spoke,
the way his eyes fell away from me.
I racked my mind for something to say. Something actually
good.
“What happened back there?”
He shook his head weakly.
“I freaked out, I was… remembering”
I nodded. Better to leave it at that.
“We need somewhere to sleep. Any idea where we
are?”
He stood up- shakily, looking around the blank environment
around us.
I did so too.
We were in the middle of nowhere- the house we had
escaped from was on what looked like a farm, paddocks
surrounding it in every direction.
From there, we had ran- very slowly and often falling over- as
far as we could from the retched house- or should I say
prison. I reckon we got about 20 kilometers, weaving our
way through trees and bushes until we ended up here- crouched
in a gutter on the side of the road- nothing around us- no
houses or shops. Just one or two cars passing by every
hour.
From the look of the sky, it was extremely late.
James shook his head- confusion written on his tired face.
“I think I might have been here before- I’m really
bad at directions- but I think there is a milk bar maybe- 2km
away? I just- I remember this place from somewhere
before”
I nodded and stretched my arms behind my head.
“We should try to get there” I suggested, wobbling
over in the direction of the milk bar.
I tried fighting back the many questions blooming in my
mind.
Where exactly did I just escape from?
Why did I have to escape in the first place?
Did James know?
I battled the urge to ask him. I knew he wouldn’t tell me
anyway.
“Eloise?”
I mumbled what sounded like a yes and he went on.
“Do you know why we were there?”
I stopped in my tracks and turned to face him.
There- my only hope of any information was gone.
“No. If you tell me what you know, I’ll tell you
what I know”
I knew my comment was stupid, seeing as I knew basically
nothing to minimal on my sudden capture and bringing to the
farm of terror, I just hope that he didn’t know that.
He raised his eyebrows a little and smiled weakly.
“You don’t trust me?”
“I don’t know you!” I defended.
He sighed.
“Fine- I’ll start from the
beginning”
So they got
away... dun dun daaaaa......
what is in store for them now?
Comment and fave for more and yeah... that's about
it...
have a nice night :)

Chapter 5.
Light.
It’s what I wanted so desperately just a few hours
ago.
I want it gone now.
I need that black.
I need it to engulf me and hide me from the world.
The light is exposing me-
And that’s not the best when you are hiding from two men
who are kidnappers and possibly murderers.
James was silent and careful as he moved around the corner of
the large house slowly.
The bright red carpets brushed under our knees and created kind
of a swoosh sound from beneath us.
The men- we figured- were in the room next door.
The plan was this- to drop down into the house and weave our
way out.
Sounds easy at first but once your down here,
It’s a whole different story.
I suddenly felt his body tense beside me and I looked over to
see him completely frozen.
“They’re coming” He whispered, placing
a cold hand on my arm to stop me from moving any further.
We sat fixed in our positions, ears pricked up like dogs at the
park.
I focused on slowing my breathing down to a normal pace,
While James stared at the back of my head with a blank
expression.
“Any offers for them yet?”
The voice belonged to that of a male, deep and with a strong
Indian accent.
“No- but they will come, don’t worry”
This time the voice was a little higher, and sounded slightly
Italian.
“I don’t know how much longer we can keep them
here! The police will be coming for us”
A loud crash erupted in the direction of the voices.
“You will get your money Abjit! The little sh/ts have
been here for a month!”
“When do we draw the line? They’ll die soon,
nothing will come from that!”
Another crash boomed and James shifted uncomfortably next to
me.
Footsteps echoed through the house, becoming louder by the
minute.
“We have to go!” I whispered loudly to my left. No
response.
“James! We have to go!” I raised myself up slowly,
hoping my legs would support me for just a little bit of time
before they gave way.
James was still frozen, his bottom lip quivering as he stared
blankly into the distance.
Footsteps. Closer and closer they came, and with each step, I
lost a little bit of hope of getting out alive.
“James!” I yanked forward on his arm, causing us to
fall forward together in a series of loud booms and yelps.
Cover = Blown.
Not much to say
I guess...
Arrghh- James?? Why was he getting so weird back there??
Why don't you leave some predictions?
Oh and I'm giving you a free teaser...
