1-Who's There?
"PERFECT!" Taylor screamed. She threw her hands in the air, bringing them back down to rest on top of her head. "This is just fucking perfect..." Taking deep breathes was helping to calm her down, but it wasn't going to do the full trick.
Courtney was still at the top of the staircase, banging as hard as she could. The oak door did not give way, not even a little shift from its original position. The old thing should have been easy to take down, but it wasn't. The whole basement was enchanted.
"He's not coming!" Duncan yelled up to her. Luckily the room was still in total darkness; otherwise Duncan would have been pinned to the floor by his fiancée already.
Duncan hadn't meant to snap at her like that, but they were all now trapped in a basement of a Tracking Academy with a thousand teenagers above them who wanted to kill them. They had to find a way out and fast. If the students woke up, Heather could have easily told them they were down there and sent armies to kill them all off.
Hot tears started to fall from Courtney's eyes. She banged her fist on the door one last time, not bothering to remove it back from the heavy wood. Courtney turned her back, pressing it as hard as she could against the door. It hurt, but she slid to the floor, tears still rolling down her cheeks.
"Why would he do this?" She asked herself. It was a rhetorical question, but she had an answer anyway.
"BECAUSE HE'S A TRACKER!" Taylor screamed. It was true. Everyone knew Alan was a no good, dirty Tracker. They had only trusted him because Courtney had. Now Courtney was regretting ever becoming a Tracker more than ever and letting everyone else down even further.
"Geoff...?" Bridgette called into the darkness. She was sure Alan had been right about one thing; Geoff had to be in the basement. "Geoff are you there?"
"Bridge?" Came a weak voice. "Babe, is that you?"
Bridgette's eyes lit up in the dim room. The voice that had come from the back corner had just made her day. Without thinking she ran straight to where she had heard the voice. Of course, she naturally tripped over Geoff's legs and fell right into the wall.
"Babe, you okay?" Geoff asked. Bridgette didn't even think about her now aching head, she just got back to her feet and wrapped her arms around her boyfriend.
"WE FOUND GEOFF!" Eric called to everyone who was just wondering where Bridgette had run off to.
"Great." Kevin muttered. "NOW HOW THE HELL DO WE GET OUT OF HERE?"
"Only one way out." Everyone turned to the darkness. No one could be seen, but they all recognized the voice.
"A-Alan?" Arianna called out. "Is that you?"
No one could see it, but a small smile formed on Alan's lips as Arianna said his name. He just couldn't help himself.
"Yeah, beautiful, it's me." Alan called back.
Duncan and Kevin, not hesitating for a moment, ran to where Alan's voice could be hear from. Duncan grabbed the boy by his collar and pinned him to the wall, lifting him slightly off the ground. Kevin slammed his fist into the wall beside his head, but Alan wasn't scared. Sure, these two vampires were the things he had been training to kill all his life, and now they had the opportunity to kill him, but he wasn't scared.
"WHY DID YOU LOCK US IN HERE?" Duncan yelled furiously.
"IT WASN'T ME!" Alan protested.
As soon as his words were over the room flooded with light, as if the sun had just been let in from somewhere. It hadn't been. An overhead light, a tiny thing attached to the ceiling, had been turned on. Everyone looked around, but no one seemed to have done anything.
Rebecca ran straight over to her husband and brother, wrenching the three boys off of each other. Duncan and Kevin backed off, slightly scared of an angry Rebecca. Alan dropped back to the floor, readjusting his t-shirt.
"He couldn't have done it if he's locked down here with us." Duncan snorted, walking away from the other three and back towards the door. Kevin didn't take his eyes off Alan though, as if he expected him to draw a knife and start trying to kill all of them at any moment.
Rebecca shot Alan an 'I'm-So-Sorry' look. He smiled at her. Arianna couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous of that. She wished she had been the one Alan had smiled at.
"It was Heather." Alan told everyone. They weren't surprised. "She's been planning this for weeks." That was obvious. "She kidnapped Geoff." Everyone turned to face Geoff.
Bridgette was cuddled up to her boyfriend, not wanting to ever let go again. He was slumped up against the wall. His face was pale, and so was the rest of his skin. He looked underweight, as if he had been down in the basement for years, not days. His blonde hair was a mess, his cowboy hat tossed to the side. His clothes were covered in a fine layer of dust, and his eyes were growing purple bags under them.
"She lies to Mrs. Fields lured me down here and..." Alan stopped. He knew what he was about to say was bad, but he had to say it. It was a vital part. He turned to Courtney, hoping she'd understand. "She found your book..."
All eyes turned to Courtney. She wasn't sure at first what Alan was on about 'her book'. Then she remembered it. Her book. It was the one thing she had brought with her to the academy to remind her who she really was. Somehow she had managed to forget about it. Probably because she had, had it so well hidden from sight. She had only remembered when she had got back to Scarlatina. But, by then, it was too late.
"She tricked us all..." Alan finished. Courtney fell backwards, collapsing into the wall. Duncan was at her side immediately, helping to support her. It was just too much for her to take in.
"Okay..." Courtney thought for a moment. She wasn't sure if she should trust Alan or not. She had to test his skills. "What is so important to me about September fifth?"
"It's the day you discovered your friends' secret. The day you decided becoming a Tracker was what you wanted to do. It was the day you discovered that your mother was buried on the site. It was the day you admitted to yourself you were in love."
Courtney's couldn't fault that. It was all true. But there was just one more thing she had to test.
"And what is my biggest secret?" Courtney asked.
Alan didn't answer right away. He stared deep into Courtney's eyes. There were many things he knew about Courtney, her biggest secret was a tough one. She knew this was going to be a tough one, that was why she had asked.
"You are secretly in love with Justin Bieber." A sly smile came across Alan's lips. Courtney was confused. "The first day you were here, you blasted 'Baby' as loud as you could, dancing around your room like a twat until I walked in."
Courtney's face went bright red. He was definitely the right Alan.
Taylor forced her hand over her mouth; she was trying her absolute best not to burst into a hysterical fit of laughter at her cousin-in-law.
"Justin Bieber?" She giggled, not able to hold it in any longer.
"Laugh about it later." Bridgette told Taylor, turning back to her boyfriend. "Geoff's tied up and we can't break the chains." No one had noticed the reason why Geoff had his hands behind his back. The inch thick, metal chains were wrapped pretty tightly around his chaffing wrists.
Duncan quickly ran over to his best friend, but the chains were too strong for even a vampire to break. Duncan tried and tried, but his hands were red raw, the skin starting to pull away at his palms. Something was not right with these chains.
Courtney clapped her hands a floating book appeared in front of her. At least her sorcery was still working under all the charms on the basement. Maybe there was hope after all.
"Hold!" Courtney thrusted the book into Alan's hands. He stumbled a bit. The book wasn't exactly light, that was why it had been floating.
The brunette raised her hand at the chains, looking down at the book as she read out the incantation. It was quite a big spell and it wasn't in English, but she tried her best to get the words right.
"Ali catara mina mona hishu, jace an red rei." The chains fell from Geoff's wrists with a clank onto the floor. Bridgette smiled, wrapping her arms delicately around her now free boyfriend. The blonde muttered thank yous, but Courtney's couldn't hear her.
The brunettes head was spinning, or was it the room? Either way, her eyes were swimming and before she knew it, her world was black.
Duncan rushed to his fiancée's side, catching her before she slammed her head on the hard floor.
"Courtney..."
