Book: The Takers Point of view: Felicity (Women, 21 yrs old)

The Takers

I have all ways lived in a small town. Stewartville Minnesota. I live out in
the country, and I may have a small house, but I have big dreams. I live
in a house of 8 girls counting me and 3 boys, 11 kids total. We have 4
horses, 9 dogs, and a couple stray cats. I was the oldest of them all, I
had a horse named tiger she’s old but has always been my friend. But I
have more friends. Life was perfectly good, until the takers came. The
takers are from Canada, they were not that bad at first. Than they took
over. the only place not took all the way over, is Chicago, New York,
south Virginia, and Las Vegas. Minnesota was one of them… but know
that all changes today. The sun was high in the sky around 4 in the
afternoon. I was going to my first ever job interview in a LONG time. It
was for designing cloths, for the rich. Witch lived in Canada. I was on
my way there on the sky train and was about to get of f. My interview
was at one of the only places left. Las Vegas. I remember when it all
started. Canada threatened us. Than they shot at us. France was the
first to surrender, Japan tried but were over powered quickly. I
remember when are part of Minnesota was over took.

It was dark lights on in bed reading and doing homework when we
heard it. Are Nabors a mile away screamed a women, 3 minutes later a
man showed up at are door huffing and puffing and said they were
coming. The Takers were on there way here. He said they were men in
trucks. Big trucks. And guns. Mom told me what to grab and I picked up
the children that could not run as fast and went out the back, bolting
into the corn, scraping my arms and legs as I ran. The baby started
wailing, and I had to stop to calming her down. I had all my sisters an d
brothers behind me. Gasping for air. Than we heard a large noise, kind
of like a fire cracker. And we all turned to where it came from, it came
from the house. Black smoke was every where. I was going to tell the
children to hush, but they already started crying. Because they know
what has happened.

I hushed the oldest boy and told him to help me quiet them all
down, before the catch us all and kill us. After we quieted them I gave
the baby to the oldest guy and carried the littler ones. We were half
way down the path when we decided to rest. We made beds of corn
leaves and slept. I could tell what time it was. And I knew, it was death.

Chapter 2

I got off the sky train in Chicago and went to my hotel and got ready.
I was in the shower when there was a knock on the front door I walked
over to it, but there was no eye hole so when I opened it he had a knife
I grabbed his hand, and flipped him to the ground, all in one hand. And
when he looked up at me he said “Ms. Your bath towel.” I looked down
and my towel was on the ground. I grabbed it and pulled it up. While I
did he stood up, whipping his white pants clean as if there were
invisible dust. “you do know I was not going to attack you right

ma’am?” “I am just here to tell you your limbo is down stairs.” Yea…
right… sorry. I got dressed and he led me downstairs to my limbo and
we rode to the interview. The building was huge bigger than anything!!
She was ah by it. We headed up stairs and he left me in a room by my
self with a desk with only a stripe of white on one side. And a folding
chair. Witch I sat on. I waited a couple minutes later a lady walked in
and sat on the opposite side of the desk. She was dressed in a dress
that looks like someone threw paint splatters at it that she walked
threw she walked threw a waterfall of gold sparkles. Her eye lashes
were huge and sparkle gold and silver. She was caring a couple note
books and a plastic container full of fabric. “Hello, how are you today?
Ah.. Felicity…? Yes. Felicity.”

I thought of saying well what’s think hmm? I don’t know its just the
hole world is under attack. But sure. How are you? But than she might
decline. “I am good. And ready for today. And yea that’s really all. How
are you?” She scooted her chair over picked up a box and gave it to me.
“here you have 30 minutes to make this into something people would
like to wear. The sewing machine is over there. Go.” I looked where she
pointed and in the corner was a small sewing machine. I walked over
there and turned on the light.

There was a spider on it, but I didn’t feel like touching it. The rest of
the machine looked shiny and like t was polished every day. I got
started sewing, and having no idea what to make. I opened the box and
found fabric, all exotic. There were cheetah prints, paw marks, bark,
rainbow, and so much more. But there was one that cot my eye. A
black glossy fabric. I took it and hand stitched it. I thought to my self
and turned around to ask her a question but she was wearing
headphones and talking on the phone and typing on the internet. So I

turned around and found a metal box full of things in the corner I
walked over there shyly. I found some bullet proof armor and ran back
over. The thirty minutes were up and I grabbed my costume and
walked over there. When I got to her desk she was just sitting there.
And when I knocked on her computer she looked up at me like she was
angry I was alive. “what?” “Umm the costume. Its done.” “Oh yipe!! Let
me see it darling!” I took it and showed her. She awed. She sat me
down and asked me where I was from and where I was going to be
working, where to live, and what hours. I went back to my hotel and
took a deep breath in.

CHAPTER #3

We made it to the forest, like we always planed if we were under

attack like this. Are mom told us she would come here when she can,

but no sign of her. Yet. I hope. It was late afternoon and they were

complaining they were hungry, and they were gonna die. I found the

tree house that we use to play with in the summer. But know looks like

a dark sky at a war base. I left the little kids there to tighty up and I

went and picked berrys. When the basket was all most full, I heard a

scream. It was Annies. I bolted ran, droped the basket. And

climbed up the rope with my grape stained hands. “What’s going on!?

Is every body ok?!” “yes” she sighed with relief. “than what was the

scream about then?” “oh there was a spider.” She said with a smile.

“where is it now?” “oh it was on the window sill.” “but I don’t see any

thing.” “that’s because it was outide the window sill.” “wha-“ “A bird

came and ate it.” She said with a huge smile. “How could you do that

Annie! There are bad men here. And god I thought you were in trouble!

God Annie!!” “I am sorry..” I felt a tugging on my shirt, I turned around.

It was little bear. “what do you want little bear?” I said.

“did you get any beries?” “no sorry I just got scared and ran here. I
dropped it on the trail.” “aw” we continued to clean up and dust. When
the sun was setting I unpacked there bags they brought. And loaded
them in there arriyas of the tree house. And stoked up the caned food
and bread. I staked rocks and put dirt inside and made a circle. I stated
a fire with one of matches.

And we ate bread and talked. I sent them to bed and I walked out
side on are deck, waiting, for signs. That are mother will come out of
the trees, and come up here, and say that everything is ok. It was a falls
alarm. But even I, knew. They took her.

CHAPTER #4

I woke up to giggling, and when I opened my eyes I saw smiles. I stood
up and I saw that they coverd me in mud. I was at first going to yell at
them, but for the first time, I saw them smiling, so I didn’t. I went down
to the lake with all of them with a bar of soap from the bags, and
washed myself, then them. We splashed and had fun, and had a little
picnic by the river too.

But then I told them that they needed to learn how to fight. I took
them out and taught them how to start a fire, how to make a knife, and
to make traps. The day was over and we went to bed with smiles. I
woke up early, hearing the wolves howl. I loved wolves and was very
good with them. I climbed down the rope and saw a wolfs glowing
eyes.
