About an hour ago, I was walking to my grandma's place to chat and give her some stuff. On the way there, I saw a little duckling, probably a couple of days old, quacking. I checked around to see if there was a mama duck or other ducks, but found nothing. Keep in mind this was at roughly 5pm, which means it's dark outside. I wanted to take him but grandma wouldn't let me take it inside, so I said I'll rescue him on my way back. So on my way back, I didn't find him there. I looked around and heard a quack coming from the road.

Now, gonna put this out there, this area was an abandoned area, literally a bunch of creepy abandoned houses, and some houses with people living in there. It's basically a druggie palace at night.

I went to the empty road, and saw him running around. I was actually really surprised, didn't think it would run so fast. I tried several times to grab it, but it would just run away. At this point I was just thinking, Come on I just want to save you!!!!!, argh I was so furious that I could grab it. It started running towards the abandoned houses. At one point it just sat there, and I gave it a go at grabbing him, and he just ran inside the abandoned house. My heart was shattered to pieces. I know I'm a guy, and acting like a %&$@! but I don't know what it was, I just really wanted to rescue this guy. I had space for him in my terrace, it was a perfect plan. Arghhh!!! I don't even know what to do right now. I just walked back home, because I'm not going inside those abandoned houses, especially at night. For some reason I keep saying its my fault, I know it's not but I say it is. Oh, and I'm sorry for making this topic, I know it's unnecessary but I just really need to take out this anger/frustration/mini-depression. Why am I making such a big deal out of this? Is it because I'm going to have a homestead, making me feel bad for him. Right now I'm just really hoping someone saves him. Sorry once again for this post.
 
If you're still in the area, try going back once it's daylight again, and maybe bring some food to entice the poor thing. I don't blame you for not going in there, I wouldn't either. Also if you do have to chase it, chase it away from the houses to keep it from running back in. Maybe also bring a net or large bucket to catch it so you don't have to rely on your hands. Best of luck, and remember, don't beat yourself up about it!
