Monday's Minutes Challenge

I will again be doing the picture prompt and the sentence prompt.
The sentence prompt is: I always knew this day would come--I just didn't expect for it to get here so soon.
And the picture prompt:

Thrilling, right??? =)

  Where are they? They said they’d just tie me up for five minutes, then come back and show me what they did.

I may not know much, but I sure do know that it’s been longer than five minutes.

“Carl? Ben? Kale? Where are you guys? Come untie me!” I wrestled with the ropes that tied my wrists together.

There was totally no reply. I wanted to roll my eyes, but what was the point if no one was around to see me?

“Ben? Kale? Carl? Guys—” My heart skipped a beat. What was that sound…?

Something cracked nearby. I swear it.

“H-hello?” My voice quivered.

Leaves rustled nearby.

No. I always knew this day would come--I just didn't expect for it to get here so soon.

“Ben! Carl! Kale!” I yelled with all my might.

“Melissa!” screeched one of the boys.

No. No.

“Boys! Where are you?! Untie me, stop your tricks!” I yelled, frantically trying to untie myself.

“We can’t… Meliss—” Whoever was screaming at me stopped. Mid-word.

Oh no, no, no, no, no.

They couldn’t be kidnapped now. Not now. It was way too early. I hadn’t told them everything they needed to know.

I hung my head the best I could, the tears fell.

The next thing I knew I was flat on my face. Someone had untied me. The boys, they had to have come back.

I jerked the blindfold off my face and turned around. But it wasn’t one of the boys like I had foolishly hoped.

“You can’t take them yet, I haven’t finished teaching them what they need to know,” I recognized his face instantly. Liam…

“He said it was time.” Liam folded his arms.
