Deep Water

I ran as fast as I could, but I just didn't get away on time... they caught me, they locked me up in a room which was almost in darkness, with loads of other people all crammed together in the small, enclosed space. None of us knew where we were, or why we were even there. I shouted for my mum incase she was there too, but the only reply I heard was from the man stood next to me.

"Cian?" He boomed in a deep, Australian voice. "Is Cian O'Donnell here?"
"Yes.." I whispered. "That's me..."
