"Wake up! Emma, get the hell up!"
"Don't tell me what to do..."
"Stop screwing around!" A hard kick to her side had Emma wide awake and jumping to her feet. Allison was glaring at her. Her fists were balled at her sides like she wanted to swing at her some more. Oh shit. Emma thought. It's the bitch. "Where are we? Tell me what's going on! How did you do this? Did you sneak into my house and drug me?"
"What the hell are you even talking about?" Emma retorted. She looked around herself. She was in an old dark room. The window was boarded up and there was dust on the floor. There wasn't anything in it. No beds no dressers no anything. Just plain empty space. Her own anger and panic rose to meet Allison's. "Why would i even do that?" She still asked. Her mouth sort of just went on autopilot.
"Because you're a disgusting, perverted dyke who can't keep to herself?"
"You just woke me up you dumb asshole! I was knocked out too!" Emma snapped back. "Why would i knock you out and kidnap you, then knock myself out and let you kick me while i was down?!"
"How about to make it look like you didn't do it?"
"You hate me that much? That you'd really stretch logic that far just to keep making me the bad guy in your fucked up little head?"
"You are the bad guy here!" Allison yelled. "I was asleep in my bed, and then i woke up here and you are here with me! It's pretty clear you did this to me. Now tell me where we are so I can go home!"
Emma looked around again. "I don't know." She said. "Believe me or not. I don't care. But I don't know any more then you do. I was in my room too when this happened. I was kidnapped too!" She finished quietly. She couldn't believe it. Who would kidnap her? And who would kidnap Allison? Of all people? Ok, that one made sense. Allison was a homophobic bitch, and a normal bitch, so it made sense she probably pissed off some psycho who didn't care about kidnapping and hurting a teenage girl. But what had Emma ever done to anybody to deserve this?!
Oh wait. i ask myself that question every day. She thought, looking at Allison. She always asked it about Allison. And to Allison! All Allison ever gave her was bullshit bigotry and spite though. Nothing real or sensible. Maybe Allison didn't have a reasonable reason to hate her like she did. But Emma still hoped she would find out a reason for it. She wanted to believe Allison had one. She didn't want to believe it was just blind and stupid and for no reason at all. Because that was just too horrible and scary to even think about. There was always a reason for shit to happen, even bad shit.
"Who the hell would want to kidnap you?" Allison laughed. It was a nasty laugh.
"I don't know, maybe somebody even more fucked up then me? Like a serial killer rapist necrophiliac cannibal guy who shoves knives up people's asses?" emma rattled out, furious and sarcastic.
Allison shut up. She looked just plain scared now. Not all pissy and disgusted like she did when she looked at Emma. Like she always did at school, like she wanted to pound her face in (sometimes she even did). "Well then i'm getting out of here, and you're going to help me! When we get back to Limingswell i can get back to my normal safe life, and you can go back to your filthy disgusting homo ways. And as a favor for getting me out of here..." She gave Emma an intense look. Like she was steeling herself for something. "...I'll ignore you for a week."
"Why don't you just always do that?" Emma gritted. "Why the fuck do you always go out of your way to attack me? Why can't you just-"
"Shut up, stop oggling me, get me out of this place!" Allison interrupted her. "Or I'm changing my mind."
"I wasn't oggling you, you dumb fuck! I was just looking at you!"
"Well don't look at me! I don't need some lezzie loser eyeing me up like she wants her tongue all over me!"
"Oh trust me, there isn't a gay girl alive who'd ever want to put their mouth on your fucked up body! They'd be too sick of dealing with you after five seconds to ever want to get that close!"
"Shut up!" Allison started forward with her fist raised. "Stop looking at me!"
"Ugh, whatever! i'm done with you!" Emma snarled. She turned away and stalked up to the door. She turned the handle: it was unlocked. She yanked it open and kicked it hard against the wall for good measure. She went out into a hallway. It was dark and narrow. Old and dusty. There were cobwebs. At least she hoped they were cobwebs and not spiderwebs.
"Stop stomping around making all this noise!" Allison hissed, racing after her and grabbing her arm. She had that panicky scared face again. "Whoever did this to us-"
"If they didn't come running from that then they're either not even home right now or they're a heavy sleeper." Emma said in a whisper. "Either way we can just walk on out of here. so let's go."
She started off again. Allison followed her closely and was breathing down her neck almost literally. She was also still holding onto emma's arm, but lower now. More toward her wrist. Emma wanted to just grab Allison's hand out of hers and snap it in two. But she didn't.
She kept walking. and she had to admit, she listened to Allison and tried to be quieter about it. They moved together. Down the hall they walked.
There was a noise behind a door they passed that made Allison jump. Emma elbowed her and made her yell and squeeze her wrist hard. So hard it hurt. Emma stopped and stared at the door. There was more noise in there. A voice. No. Two voices? They were quiet. Then louder. Arguing?
"Who're you?! Where am I? what am I-"
"Woah, calm down. I've got no clue, either! I just woke up, ok? I don't-"
Emma turned the knob and threw the door open. Inward. It hit the wall hard. She was looking at two boys in the room. Well...two boys who were awake and talking. There were two other boys and two other girls in a corner. They still looked out cold!
"Holy shit!" One of the awake boys yelled at Emma's appearance. He jumped back.
"Whoever you two are, we've got no idea how we got here to start with." The other boy said. He had a serious but calming sort of voice. He was tall and had brown hair. Wavy. With long bangs. He held up his hands to her. "We'll just be on our way and-"
"Join the club." Said Emma. She laughed and stepped further in the room. Allison was still holding her with a death grip. "We just woke up a minute ago too. We were in our beds at home before now. I guess were were all kidnapped by a psycho serial killer or something."
"Well then we should all get outta here." Said the boy who had yelled. He started toward her. Passed her and through the door.
The brown haired tall boy said "Wait! We can't just leave without these guys." He looked at the unconscious girls and the guys in the corner. "Do you all want them to be left to be cut up and eaten or something messed up like that? I don't. Could you help me with them?"
The scared boy stopped. He looked torn. He still wanted to bolt. But...Emma thought he was a good guy. So he was staying. "I guess." He said with distress. "Just make it fast." He started back into the room and over to the unconscious kids.
"Help you how?" Allison said rudely. She stepped out from behind Emma. Her chin was lifted at the brown haired boy.
"Just help me wake them up." The boy replied calmly. "If we can't manage that then we'll carry them out with us."
"I'm not carrying anyone!" Allison retorted. "Emma, we were leaving already so let's leave. I'm sure they'll be fine on their own!"
"Fuck you." Emma snorted. She tore her arm out of Allison's hand and walked up to the boy. "Selfish bitch. I'm not leaving anybody to die. That isn't going to be on my conscience, psycho kidnapper or not." psycho kidnapper or not, i'll never be like YOU. She thought to herself. I'm a good person. I didn't deserve anything you did to me in my life. And these guys don't deserve to get left to die by you either.
The brown haired boy walked over to the corner and got on his knees. The other boy was there with him, still reluctantly though. The brown haired boy reached out and shook the shoulder of the unconscious boy. "Hey. You ok?"
The boy reacted fast. He shot up and hit his head on the wall. The two girls and the other boy woke up from his movements too.
"What the fuck is going on?!" The newly awake boy shouted.
"Where am I?" Said a girl in a voice that wasn't scared but demanding. She was angry. Scary angry. She got up and shoved the brown haired boy back from her. "Who are you all? How did I get here?"
"Calm down." Emma comforted. "Everybody just cool it, ok? Nobody knows how they got here either. We all just woke up."
The other boy who just woke up didn't talk at all. He just looked at everyone with big blue eyes that were panicky. The other girl who woke up was pretty much the same. She was quiet but scared. She only said a quiet question. "Where am I?" Her arms went around herself. She shivered and her eyes moved everywhere.
"Nobody has any clue." The brown haired boy said clearly. "We all just woke up, the same as you guys. Ok? We woke you up. We were probably kidnapped or something, we weren't going leave you behind. Let's all get out of here together now, alright?"
"It's about time." Allison huffed. "I want all of you in the front. That way if any psycho catches us he'll have to go through you all to get to-"
"That's fine. Let's get going." The brown haired boy cut her off.
They all left the room together and went on down the hallway. It led to some stairs. They went down the stairs. A door got opened in a big creaky entry room below. They got outside. It was sunny and warm.
Bright! Emma put a hand over her face. But just for a moment. When her eyes adjusted she stared. "What the hell?" She said loudly.
Nothing about what she was seeing made sense! It looked like they'd all walked onto the set of a medieval movie or something! A really really weird medieval movie. A weird medieval movie that looked...familiar?
