Mackenzie's+Adventure

Mackenzie’s Adventure I gulped as we pulled up to the posh, expensive Ritz Carlton New York. “Girls, we’re getting out of the car now.” My dad said, his tone of voice tinted with anxiety. My parents shared a look, and my mom declared, “We’ll get out first, then you, Mackenzie, then you Kendall, then you, Ashlynn.” Then they gestured for our head bodyguard, Joe, open the door, and rushed out, dad having Mackenzie jump into his arms, mom giving Kendall her hand, leaving me to walk alone. Joe’s friend-bodyguards surrounded us, creating a barrier as we headed inside the hotel, avoiding fans. We pushed into the revolving door, edged with gold. My heart pounded as the bodyguards eased their protective stances once our feet hit the carpeted floor. Out of a hallway, girls, boys, even a dog or two descended on us. Little Mackenzie screamed as the men in black uniforms rebound their huddle, forming an unbreakable perimeter around us. Kendall and Mackenzie hugged each other as my parents and I were being asked to sign things from crazed fans and paparazzi photographed my tense face. We were pushed, shoved, hustled, and bustled into the golden elevator. Mackenzie asked to push the floor button, so Joe said, “It’s floor 17, Mac.” Using his nickname for her. As I heard the //ding// of the elevator as it hit our stop rather quickly, I was pushed into another small square as I realized more fans were waiting for us outside. I just shut my eyes and let people lead me to our room. We ran inside, and Joe shut the door behind us. There were screams and knocks, soon drowned out by Joe and his friends backing them up and yelling at them to leave. The reason fans attacked us is pretty simple. My whole family is famous. My dad, he’s a director for only the best movies. My mom is an actress on the show //Trial//. My sister, Kendall, is an actress as well as Mackenzie, who both co-star in movies and the show //Our Average Family//. I am a Disney star, so the singer, dancer, and actress, or as my agent calls it, the triple-threat. So now I bet you see why our family is so under-the-radar. Anyway, soon enough we had unpacked, and it was time for us to go to my audition for the movie //Caught//, then out to dinner, then Mackenzie’s read-through for the horror movie she’s in called //Whisper//. We went through the whole bodyguard procedure, and finally got to the Trump tower. Trying to get in then was worse. More screaming, and Joe could barely keep track of us all. We got inside, which was shut off from fans, and began upstairs to the audition room. “Where’s Mackenzie?! John, where IS she?!” mom said franticly. Within minutes, the police were there, checking everywhere for my 3 year old sister. No one could find her. Mom and dad sent Kendall and I back to the hotel. On the way, we began to cry. “What is someone kidnapped her, Ashlynn?! We’ll never see her again!” Kendall sobbed. “It’s f-fine, Kendall. We’ll find her.” I tried to stay calm. We got back to the hotel, and half of the bodyguards were watching us. “We need to find her. Let’s go, Ash.” Kendall said. Kendall is pretty brave for an 11 year old. We ran then. I’m surprised no one saw us. There must have been too many fans for the bodyguards to see us escape. We ran and ran until we got to some unfamiliar places. Great, we’re lost.” I said, being abnormally pessimistic. “I have my cell phone!” Kendall said, flipping it open. I then heard the shut-off tone. “Um, now it’s dead. Never mind.” I didn’t have mine either, so we were out of luck. We both heard screaming from afar. We knew who it was. That was a very familiar cry. “MACKENZIE!” We both screamed, running down the small alleyway. The shrieks got louder, and soon enough we came across a dead-end. A door. We shoved it open and surprisingly, it was unlocked. Mackenzie’s arms, being held by two men, were covered in filth. Her dress was the same. “Kendall! Ashwynn!” She screeched. The men then dropped her. Those two men ran towards us as Mackenzie began to cry. Kendall and I screamed as they grabbed us. The covered our mouths and tied us up. Just in time, Joe slammed the door open, well, knocked it down. Me and Kendall both tried to yell, but the rags in our mouths muffled our voices. Mackenzie was still crying, and he picked her up as more of his men came in and grabbed the two men who had Mackenzie, and a third who had been telling them what to do. Then, with Mackenzie in his arms, he asked us, “Are you two okay?” Although we were both in shock, we managed to choke out a feeble “yes.” “Alright then, lets get you guys back home.” Once we got back to the hotel, paparazzi and crazy fans did not only surround us, but also police and interviewers and TV show hosts. Luckily, Joe’s friends were there to help. In the hotel lobby, our family reunited. There were hugs, tears, and definitely some scolding and praising. There was a doctor who let us know that Mackenzie was fine, just a few cuts and bruises. Altogether, it had been a very exciting day. To let you know, my audition got rescheduled, and I got the lead role. Mackenzie did amazing in her horror, which was the number one movie for almost a month. Kendall got accepted into Disney, and she’s guest starring in my show. It was a happily ever after, if you wanted to say, but our family was all a bit closer after our experience that night.
