He walked out of the dark cramped cabin and into the strangely warm mid fall night. Taylor (15) stared up at the crisp darkening sky with his light brown eyes. The moon was brighter than he had ever seen it, in the city he was originally from. The northern lights had started to illuminate the clearing, reminding him of how far from home he really was. Orlando, Florida never got this cold or dark. So why had his parents brought him here? It was cold, dark, lonely, and boring and they were sharing the cabin with a family with seven kids. Why have seven? Yeah, he had heard of crazy families with more than that. But still. Taylor hated being crowded. That was probably one of the reasons, why this didn't feel like the little adventure his mom and dad had planed. Only Taylor didn't know that this boring area in the middle of nowhere was only his first stop in a huge adventure that risked life and death.
A single lone howl sounded in the air and then was joined by the others as Taylor turned to go inside. A rumble sounded, and it slowly grew louder as if coming closer. It soon became clear that it was the roar of a motorcycle. Then it burst into the clearing, screeching to a sliding stop. A man got off, covered in black, and walked toward Taylor. Then sprang on him while Taylor was still processing that a motorcycle had ever entered the clearing. The man quickly wrestled him to the ground and put a bag over his head. He tried to fight, as he was sloppily tied to the motorcycle and driven away. The last thing he remembered was his adrenaline filled blood rushing to his head and his mother's screams fading into the distance with his consciousness.
