Still, her lungs kept pushing out cries for help. Her attacker carried her over his shoulder. The stench of his sweat filled her nostrils. He paid no heed to her frantic writhing, or the pounding of her fists on his back, or even her fingernails, which dug furrows into his flesh. He simply lumbered, as steadily as a freight train, through the corridors of the big house.<\/p>\n<p>She knew where they were heading, but not where she would end up. In this house, nothing was normal, nothing as it appeared. So while she knew in advance the turns her attacker would take, which hallways and doors he would traverse, their destination was as unknowable as a faraway galaxy. And that meant her taking would be untraceable. She would be unreachable to searchers. To would-be rescuers. To her family\u2014 and that realization terrified her more than being grabbed out of her bed. More than the flashes of imagined cruelty she would suffer away from the protection of the people who loved her. More than death.<\/p>\n<p>But then she saw something more terrifying: her children, scrambling to catch up, to help. Their eyes were wide, streaming. They stumbled up the narrow staircase behind her attacker, seeming far below, rising to meet her. The thought of them following her into the chasm of her fate was more than she could stand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo back,\u201d she said, but by this time her throat was raw, her voice weak.<\/p>\n<p>The man reached the landing and turned into another corridor.<\/p>\n<p>Temporarily out of sight, her son yelled, \u201cMom!\u201d His seven-year-old voice was almost lost in the shrillness of his panic. He appeared on the landing. His socked feet slipped on the hardwood floor and he went down. Behind him, his little sister stopped. She was frightened and confused, too young to do anything more than follow her brother. He clambered up and started to run again.<\/p>\n<p>A hand gripped his shoulder, jarring him back.<\/p>\n<p>The boy\u2019s father had something in his fist: the lamp from his nightstand! He past the boy in the hallway. His bare feet gave him traction.<\/p>\n<p>Thank God, she thought.<\/p>\n<p>He reached her in seconds. With the lamp raised over his head, he grabbed her wrist. He pulled, tried to anchor himself to the floor, to the carpeted runner now covering the wood planks. But the brute under her walked on, tugging him with them. The man yanked on her arm. Pain flared in her shoulder. He might as well have tried pulling her from a car as it sped passed.<\/p>\n<p>She caught a glimpse of the bizarrely shaped light fixtures on the corridor walls\u2014mostly carved faces with glowing eyes. The bulbs flickered in time with her racing heart. She could not remember any of the lights doing that before. It was as though the electrical current running through the wires was responding to a disruption in the way things were supposed to be, a glitch in reality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHenry,\u201d she said, pleading, hopeful.<\/p>\n<p>His grip tightened as he stumbled along behind them. He brought the lamp\u2019s heavy base down on her assailant. If the man carrying her flinched, she did not feel it. If he grunted or yelled out, she did not hear it.<\/p>\n<p>What he did was stop. He spun around so quickly, the woman\u2019s husband lost his grip on her. And now facing the other direction, she lost sight of him. Being suddenly denied her husband\u2019s visage felt like getting the wind knocked out of her. She realized he was face to face with the man who\u2019d taken her, and that felt like watching him step off a cliff.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNooo!\u201d she screamed, her voice finding some volume. \u201cHenry!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His hand gripped her ankle, then broke free. The man under her moved in a violent dance, jostling her wildly. He spun again and her head struck the wall.<\/p>\n<p>The lights went out completely . . . . but no, not the lights . . .  her consciousness. It came back to her slowly, like the warmth of fire on a blistery day.<\/p>\n<p>She tasted blood. She\u2019d bitten her tongue. She opened her eyes. Henry was crumpled on the floor, receding as she was carried away. The children stood over him, touching him, calling him. Her son\u2019s eyes found hers again. Determination hardened his jaw, pushed away the fear . . .  at least a measure of it. He stepped over his father\u2019s legs, coming to her rescue. Henry raised his head, weary, stunned. He reached for the boy, but missed.<\/p>\n<p>Over the huffing breath of the man, the soft patter of her son\u2019s feet reached her ears. How she\u2019d loved that sound, knowing it was bringing him to her. Now she wanted it to carry him away, away from this danger. Her husband called to him in a croaking, strained voice. The boy kept coming.<\/p>\n<p>She spread her arms. Her left hand clutched at open air, but the right one touched a wall. She clawed at it. Her nails snagged the wallpaper. One nail peeled back from her finger and snapped off.<\/p>\n<p>Her assailant turned again, into a room\u2014one of the small antechambers, like a mud room before the real room. He strode straight toward the next threshold.<\/p>\n<p>Her son reached the first door, catching it as it was closing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom!\u201d Panic etched old-man lines into his young face. His eyes appeared as wide as his mouth. He banged his shoulder on the jamb, trying to hurry in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStay!\u201d she said. She showed him her palms in a \u201cstop\u201d gesture, hoping he would understand, hoping he would obey. She took in his face, as a diver takes in a deep breath before plunging into the depths. He was fully in the antechamber now, reaching for her with both arms, but her captor had already opened the second door and was stepping through. The door was swinging shut behind him.<\/p>\n<p>The light they were stepping into was bright. It swept around her, through the opening, and made pinpoints of the boy\u2019s irises. His blue eyes dazzled. His cheeks glistened with tears. He wore his favorite pajamas\u2014little R2D2s and C3P0s all over them, becoming threadbare and too small for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2014\u201c she started, meaning to say she loved him, but the brute bounded downward, driving his shoulder into her stomach. Air rushed from her, unformed by vocal chords, tongue, lips. Just air.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoooom!\u201d her son screamed. Full of despair. Reaching. Almost to the door.<br \/>\n\u201cMo\u2014\u201c<\/p>\n<p>The door closed, separating her from her family forever.<\/p>\n<p>1<\/p>\n<p>Now<\/p>\n<p>Saturday, 4:55 P.M.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing but trees,\u201d the bear said in Xander\u2019s voice. It repeated itself: \u201cNothing but trees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Xander King turned away from the car window and stared into the smiling furry face, with its shiny half-bead eyes and stitched-on nose. He said, \u201cI mean it, Toria. Get that thing out of my face. And turn it off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His sister\u2019s hands moved quickly over the teddy bear\u2019s paws, all the while keeping it suspended three inches in front of Xander. The bear said, \u201cI mean it, Toria. Get that\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At fifteen years old, Xander was too old to be messing around with little-kid toys. He seized the bear, squeezing the paw that silenced it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom!\u201d Toria yelled. \u201dMake him give Wuzzy back!\u201d She grabbed for it.<\/p>\n<p>Xander turned away from her, tucking Wuzzy between his body and the car door. Outside his window, nothing but trees\u2014as he had said and Wuzzy had agreed. It reminded him of a movie, as almost everything did. This time, it was The Edge, about a bear intent on eating Anthony Hopkins. An opening shot of the wilderness where it was filmed showed miles and miles of lush forest. Nothing but trees.<\/p>\n<p>A month ago, his dad had announced that he had accepted a position as principal of a school six hundred miles away, and the whole King family had to move from the only home Xander had ever known. It was a place he had never even heard of: Pinedale, almost straight north from their home in Pasadena. Still in California, but barely. Pinedale. The name itself said \u201chick,\u201d \u201csmall,\u201d and \u201cIf you don\u2019t die here, you\u2019ll wish you had.\u201d Of course, he had screamed, begged, sulked, and threatened to run away. But in the end here he was, wedged in the back seat with his nine-year-old sister and twelve-year-old brother.<\/p>\n<p>The longer they drove, the thicker the woods grew and the more miserable he became. It was bad enough, leaving his friends, his school\u2014everything!\u2014but to be leaving them for hicksville, in the middle of nowhere, was a stake through his heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom!\u201d Toria yelled again, reaching for the bear.<\/p>\n<p>Xander squeezed closer to the door, away from her. He must have put pressure on the bear in the wrong place: It began chanting in Toria\u2019s whiny voice: \u201cMom! Mom! Mom!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He frantically squeezed Wuzzy\u2019s paws, but could not make it stop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom! Mom! Mom!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The controls in the bear\u2019s arms weren\u2019t working. Frustrated by its continuous one-word poking at his brain\u2014and a little concerned he had broken it and would have to buy her a new one\u2014he looked to his sister for help.<\/p>\n<p>She wasn\u2019t grabbing for it anymore. Just grinning. One of those see-what-happens-when-you-mess-with-me smiles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom! Mom! Mom!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Xander was about to show her what happened when you messed with him\u2014the possibilities ranged from a display of his superior vocal volume to ripping Mr. Wuzzy\u2019s arms right off\u2014when the absurdity of it struck him. He cracked up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean it,\u201d he laughed. \u201cThis thing is driving me crazy.\u201d He shook the bear at her. It continued yelling for their mother.<\/p>\n<p>His brother David, who was sitting on the other side of Toria and who had been doing a good job of staying out of the fight, started laughing too. He mimicked the bear, who was mimicking their sister: \u201cMom! Mom! Mom!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. King shifted around in the front passenger seat. She was smiling, but her eyes were curious.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cXander broke Wuzzy!\u201d Toria whined. \u201cHe won\u2019t turn off.\u201d She pulled the bear out of Xander\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n<p>The furry beast stopped talking: \u201cMo\u2014\u201d Then, blessed silence.<\/p>\n<p>Toria looked from brother to brother and they laugh again.<\/p>\n<p>Xander shrugged. \u201cI guess he just doesn\u2019t like me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe only likes me,\u201d Toria said, hugging it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, brother,\u201d David said. He went back to the PSP game that had kept him occupied most of the drive.<\/p>\n<p>Mom raised her eyebrows at Xander and said, \u201cBe nice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Xander rolled his eyes. He adjusted his shoulders and wiggled his behind, nudging Toria. \u201cIt\u2019s too cramped back here. It may be an SUV, but it isn\u2019t big enough for us anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t start that,\u201d his father warned from behind the wheel. He angled the rearview mirror to see his son.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d Xander said, acting innocent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did the same thing with my father,\u201d Dad said. \u201cThe car\u2019s too small . . .  it uses too much gas . . .  it\u2019s too run down . . . \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Xander smiled. \u201cWell, it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if we get a new car, what should we do with this one?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell . . . .\u201d Xander said. \u201cYou know. It\u2019d be a safe car for me.\u201d A ten-year-old Toyota 4Runner wasn\u2019t his idea of cool wheels, but it was transportation.<\/p>\n<p>Dad nodded. \u201cGetting you a car is something we can talk about, okay? Let\u2019s see how you do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have my driver\u2019s permit. You know I\u2019m a good driver.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is,\u201d Toria chimed in.<\/p>\n<p>David added, \u201cAnd then he can drive us to school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t mean just the driving,\u201d Dad said. He paused, catching Xander\u2019s eyes in the mirror. \u201cI mean with all of this, the move and everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Xander stared out the window again. He mumbled, \u201cGuess I\u2019ll never get a car, then.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cXander?\u201d Dad said. \u201cI didn\u2019t hear that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe said he\u2019ll never get a car,\u201d Toria said.<\/p>\n<p>Silence. David\u2019s thumbs clicked furiously over the PSP buttons. Xander was aware of his mom watching him. If he looked, her eyes would be all sad-like, and she would be frowning in sympathy for him. He thought maybe his dad was looking too, but only for an opportunity to explain himself again. Xander didn\u2019t want to hear it. Nothing his old man said would make this okay, would make ripping him out of his world less awful than it was.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDad, is the school\u2019s soccer team good? Did they place?\u201d David asked. Xander knew his brother wasn\u2019t happy about the move either, but jumping right into the sport he was so obsessed about went a long way toward making the change something he could handle. Maybe Xander was like that three years ago, just rolling with the punches. He couldn\u2019t remember. But now he had things in his life David didn\u2019t: friends who truly mattered, ones he thought he\u2019d spend the rest of his life with. Kids didn\u2019t think that way. Friends could come and go and they adjusted. True, Xander had known his current friends for years, but they hadn\u2019t become like blood until the last year or so.<\/p>\n<p>That got him thinking about Danielle. He pulled his mobile phone from his shirt pocket and checked it. No text messages from her. No calls. She hadn\u2019t replied to the last text he\u2019d sent. He keyed in another: \u201cForget me already? JK.\u201d But he wasn\u2019t Just Kidding. He knew the score: Out of sight, out of mind. She had said all the right things, like We\u2019ll talk on the phone all the time; You come down and see me and I\u2019ll come up to see you, okay? and I\u2019ll wait for you.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, sure you will, he thought. Even during the past week, he\u2019d sensed a coldness in her, an emotional distancing. When he\u2019d told his best friend, Dean had shrugged. Trying to sound world-wise, he\u2019d said, \u201cForget her, dude. She\u2019s a hot young babe. She\u2019s gotta move on. You too. Not like you\u2019re married, right?\u201d Dean had never liked Danielle.<\/p>\n<p>Xander tried to convince himself she was just another friend he was forced to leave behind. But there was a different kind of ache in his chest when he thought about her. A heavy weight in his stomach.<\/p>\n<p>Stop it! he told himself. He flipped his phone closed.<\/p>\n<p>On his mental list of the reasons to hate the move to Pinedale, he moved on to the one titled \u201ccareer.\u201d He had just started making short films with his buddies, and was pretty sure it was something he would eventually do for a living. They weren\u2019t much, just short skits he and his friends acted out. He and Dean wrote the scripts, did the filming, used computer software to edit an hour of video into five-minute films, and laid music over them. They had six already on YouTube\u2014with an average rating of four-and-a-half stars and a boatload of praise. Xander had dreams of getting a short film into the festival circuit, which of course would lead to offers to do music videos and commercials, probably an Oscar and onto feature movies starring Russell Crowe and Jim Carrey. Pasadena was right next to Hollywood, a twenty-minute drive. You couldn\u2019t ask for a better place to live if you were the next Steven Spielberg. What in God\u2019s creation would he find to film in Pinedale? Trees, he thought glumly, watching them fly past his window.<\/p>\n<p>Dad, addressing David\u2019s soccer concern, said, \u201cWe\u2019ll talk about it later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mom reached through the seatbacks to shake Xander\u2019s knee. \u201cIt\u2019ll work out,\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWait a minute,\u201d David said, understanding Dad-talk as well as Xander did. \u201cAre you saying they suck\u2014or that they don\u2019t have a soccer team? You told me they did!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said later, Dae.\u201d His nickname came from Toria\u2019s inability as a toddler to say David. She had also called Xander Xan, but it hadn\u2019t stuck.<\/p>\n<p>David slumped down in his seat.<\/p>\n<p>Xander let the full extent of his misery show on his face for his mother.<\/p>\n<p>She gave his knee a shake, sharing his misery. She was good that way. \u201cGive it some time,\u201d she whispered. \u201cYou\u2019ll make new friends and find new things to do. Wait and see.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s May 21st, time for the Teen FIRST blog tour!(Join our alliance! Click the button!)
