Soccer Star chapter 5

Mary woke up and didn't recognize where she was. Then she remembered that she was in that man's house. She opened her eyes just a little bit. She tried to sit up but felt something weighing her down. She lifted her head but saw nothing. Again she tried to sit up. This time she succeeded. She noticed that she was on a bed, kind of like a hospital bed. She looked around but only saw lots of machines.



"I must be in a hospital." she thought, still looking around. She had never been in a hospital before. It was something completely new to her. She had heard lots of them, and had seen them before, but she had never been the actual patient. Then she heard footsteps. She quickly laid back down, but not fast enough.



"You're awake. Good now we can begin treatment." The man who had kidnapped her said.



"Treatment? What treatment? I'm not getting any treatment." Mary said in a worried voice.



"Oh, but you are. We have planned something really special for you." The man said. Mary was scared and didn't know what they were going to do to her. The man took out a knife. Mary closed her eyes and started to pray. Then she was ready. When nothing happened she opened her eyes. She saw him heating the knife over a cigarette lighter. He took her hand and put the knife in her palm. It burned. He closed her fingers around it and held them there.

Mary's eyes were burning in pain. Then she was saved. Five police men (and one woman) broke the door down. The man dropped her hand and tried to run. Mary's parents ran in and picked her up. Then looked at her hand and saw that it was burnt. They were all crying, happy to be reunited again. The men that had kidnapped her all were sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole. Mary was taken home and her burns were carefully treated. She was so happy to be home again.

When Mary was feeling better, her parents had a talk with her. Her mother was crying so she couldn't talk. Instead her father took over.

"Mary how did this happen?" Her father (Mark) asked.

"I...I met this guy online. His name was Soccer Star and he said that he was my age. I talked to him and told him stuff." Mary said sobbing again.

"What kind of stuff?" Mark asked.

"Like what school I go to and...that I play basketball..and my number on the team." Mary answered.

"Mary, you don't tell people that you don't know that kind of information." Susan (her mother) said.

"I didn't know that he wasn't really a girl my age. I'm sorry." Mary cried to them. Her face was covered in tears and her nose was all red. Mary walked up to her room and closed the door. She sat on her bed and just cried. She was there for about half an hour.

Mary never forgot that day that she was taken. The moral of this story is never talk to people online that you don't know. Don't let them lure information out of you. Be careful.
