My Absence (Old Version/New Version Out)

I'm Done - 47

"HELP! IS ANYONE HERE?" I looked around. There was no one. But, out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone's head poke out from the side. 

"Hey! Can you help me?" I shouted. The person zipped their head back around. I sighed. I guess no one was here. But I wonder who that person was. 

I looked around my surroundings, and took everything in. There were rocks under my feet. Gravel. The bars. The building. The forest. That was it. Nothing. There was nothing else. No houses, no street, no nothing. I looked at the building, and saw that there was a large slab of concrete. I walked over to the concrete, laid down in the skydiver sleeping position (On stomach, since my side hurt from being shoved, arms under my head, and my head looking to the building.) and I closed my eyes, falling in a sleep. It was quite warm outside, so it was easy to sleep.

I woke up in the same position, with someone looking at me. I jumped, and rolled over.

"Hey! Hey. It's okay. Shhhhh. Calm down. Your okay. We're not here to hurt you, just to talk to you. If you'd get up, I'd like to show you to your room, and bring you to the Brunch Hall." A girl with ginger hair and light green eyes said. She reached out her hand, but I didn't accept it. I got up on my own. I didn't trust anyone now. 

She smiled at me, and turned around, and walked to a door that I didn't notice in the prison yard, where I slept. 

The inside looked. . . nothing like a prison. There was a grand foyer, made of marble, and to the right, there was a door under the grand staircase, with a vase in a stand, and a bench. To the left, there was another door under the staircase, but there was a doorway to go somewhere on the left wall. As the right side of the room, there was a vase on a stand. 

"This way," the girl said. She had to be no older than 15. We went through the left side doorway, the one NOT under the foyer. The next room was an office. There was a desk with a computer on it, a banker's lamp, with a gold head and fluorescent light bulb in it, making it look vintage. I saw a bench, with Kevin and Sera on it. 

"Mommy!" They yelled, running to me. 

"Oh, my babies!" I hugged them. 

"So, I see these are your children! Oh, now feisty your little boy is!" The 15 y/o girl said. 

"Why did you take them?" I turned to her, 

"Before I say, why don't we sit down? There's a cozy lounge with a library just up the stairwell in the foyer. Then, I shall take you to the Brunch room, where we eat all our meals, then to your rooms." The kind-acting girl said. I nodded slowly, walking to my children, taking their hands. 

The girl turned around, and started walking. We followed.

We entered this college library. It wasn't a regular public library, it was like the Library of Congress. 

Gigantic. 

I looked around. There were books and books for miles. Children's books, teen books, murder, mystery, contemporary fiction, science fiction, nonfiction, adventure, high and low fantasy, you name it. It was spectacular! 

We went over to where the lounge was. It was a fireplace, with a fire burning brightly, a big Love seat, a large, large sectional, a sofa bed, a sofa with no arms, a camelback, and a wingback. Let me tell you, there was a lot of seating. And in the middle of the circle of chairs, there was a large desk/coffee table. 

I sat on the love seat, Kevin sitting on my left, Sera on my right. I was monkey in the middle. The other girl sat on a seat next to mine, the ottoman. 

"To start, we have a Seer here. And she saw your future. She didn't say it was good or bad, but she just said that you needed to come here. We didn't want to kidnap you, nor did we want to hurt you. So, we decided to take something close to you. We knew that you were almost Alpha Queen, so we knew that any one of the pups would do. To bribe you. We didn't know it was your twins." She finished. 

"Why couldn't you just ask me? I might have came with you." Nala argued. 

"We didn't know. Besides; your mate would have thrown us out or have had our heads."

"What mate? I don't have one anymore."

"No Aiden?" 

"I don't really feel comfortable saying. Just. . . take me to the Brunch room." 

And off we went. 

---

Let's just say that the Brunch room in Harry Potter. It was the exact same setup.

For dinner, we had homemade pizza. Let me tell you, there was no grease on the pizza. Even so, it was the best pizza I ever had. 

"Now, shall I show you to your room?" The girl asked. I still hadn't caught her name. 

"Um, yeah, we can, but can I at least know your name?"

"Oh, pardon my terrible manners, but I'm Allison." She bowed.

"No need for the bowing." 

"Oh, okay!" She smiled at me. 

When we go to our rooms, I sat down on the bed. It was a cell. A jail cell. 

"Sorry you have to stay in a cell. We're working on your room now. We usually have these things settled, but this was a sudden thing. Your room should be done tomorrow or Saturday." Allison said. "I will meet you tomorrow. The cell door isn't locked, so you can wander around. Just please do leave. If you do want to wander, only go into the rooms that have open doors. The doors that are closed are bedrooms. My door is usually cracked, if you want to talk. Night!" Then she was off. 

I sighed. This ws our room for the next few days. I guess I didn't mind. It was warm, not cold, nor hot. The bed I was sitting on was comfy, not hard. It wasn't plush, but medium, just how I like it. There was a nice wooden floor, made of cherry. The only thing that made it look like a cell was the silver-deprived iron, and the iron the mattress was on. It was quite a large cell, with 3 beds, and plenty of torches. 

I laid my head down on the pillow, not wanting to explore my new surroundings. 

"I'm sorry I got you children all caught up in this." I said, sadly. 

"It's okay, Mommy. You can't tell the future, so you couldn't have known." Kevin said. I guess he was the more outspoken one. 

"I should have known." 

After a while, Sera said, "Mommy, when can we go home?" 

"I don't know, baby. But, I made you a song, if we never get out, or you get out and I don't."

"Can you sing it for us?" Sera asked. I nodded. I cleared my throat, and started to hum. 

"Look at the stars, look how they shine for you. And everything you do, yeah they were all yellow. I came along, I wrote a song for you. And all the things you do. And it was called yellow." 

Tears came to my eyes. I wish someone would have said that to me; how the stars shown for me. But no one did.

"So then I took my turn, Oh all the things I've done. And it was all yellow. Your skin, Oh yeah your skin and bones, Turn into something beautiful. Do you know you know I love you so. You know I love you so." 

I wish someone would have loved me when I was their age.

I kept on singing, even though they fell asleep. 

I just wished someone would have loved me when I was young. 

A/N-

Hey! I hope you all liked this chapter. I know  not much happened, but I tried to make it interesting, which I know didn't work.

I hope you have a wonderful rest of the day/night.
