Soccer Star Chapter 4

The man threw Mary out of the van. Mary looked up and saw a big house very well taken care of. She felt a sudden pain in her arm. She looked down and saw that her arm was bleeding. When the man threw her out of the car she must have scraped it on the sidewalk. He picked her up by the arm and dragged her into the house.



When she went into the house she looked up.



"Wow." She said in amazement. The walls were lined with very expensive looking paintings and there were crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.





"Don't tell anyone about this. OK?" The man said practically yelling.





"Why not?" Mary asked, scared half to death.





"Just don't." The man said. He dragged her up the stairs and into a small room. The room had very bad lighting and there was no furniture in it. He just shoved her onto the concrete floor.





"Ouch! That hurt." Mary said looking down at her leg to make sure that it wasn't bleeding.





"Oh stop complaining." The man said. He closed the door and left. Everything went black. Mary got accustomed to the dark. She stood up and walked over to a tiny window. Then she smelled something. She looked down and thought that she saw something in the shape of a body.


"Its probably just a blanket." She thought, a little scared. She stood up on a bench and looked out the window. She remembered that she had her cell phone in her pocket. She reached down and into her pocket. She didn't fell her phone. "Oh man! It probably fell out when the guy pulled me out onto the porch."



Then she saw a latch on the window and tried to open it. It wouldn't budge. Frustrated, she walked back to the corner that she was thrown in and sat down. She started crying.



"What am I going to do? I don't want to stay here forever. I want to go back to my family." She was sobbing now. She was scared and didn't know what to do. Suddenly the door opened. Mary jumped, and closed her eyes at the bright light. There was a flash of light then....darkness.
