Chapter One: Kidnapped

Lil stood in front of her mirror making sure she looked okay. Today was Kimi's going away party, and she wanted to look perfect. There was a knock on her door and she turned around to see her brother Phil. "Are you riding with me or Tommy?"

Lil smiled at the mention of Tommy's name. Tommy Pickles has been Lil's boyfriend since the seventh grade. "I'm going with Tommy. We'll meet you there"

Phil nodded and closed the door. He walked down the stairs and made his way to the Finster's a little early to help set up. Lil walked back over to her mirror to fix her makeup and check herself one last time before walking downstairs and out of the house. She made her way over to Tommy's and walked in like she usually did. "Hey Mrs. P!" she said to Didi who was sitting in the living room.

Didi turned around and smiled at her "Hi Lil, Tommy's up in his room"

Lil turned towards the stairs and made her way up them and knocked on Tommy's door. He pulled it open and had a smile on his face. "Are you ready to go?" she asked him as he walked out.

"I am" he walked down the stairs and Lil followed him. "Hey mom, are you and Dil going to Chuckie's party?"

"Yes, we'll be there later though." Didi called to him from the living room.

Tommy opened the door and Lil walked out after him "Are we walking?" she asked him and he nodded, grabbing her hand.

The two walked towards the Finster's house. They only lived a few minutes away and it was the beginning of summer, so it felt nice out. Phil walked out of the house and pulled Tommy away from Lil and whispered something to him. Lil didn't know what Phil told him, but whatever it was made his face change from excited and happy to worried.

Phil looked over at Lil and gave her a reassuring smile before walking back inside. Tommy walked over to her "What was that about?" Lil asked, really curious to know.

"It's nothing. Let's just get inside." Tommy put his hand on the small of Lil's back and started pushing her towards the house.

Lil stopped on the porch and turned to him. It was like he didn't want her outside at all "Tommy, what did Phil tell you?"

"Nothing. Just please go inside" he was pleading her with his eyes, but Lil was also sure that she could see a hint of fear. Tommy never looked scared over anything, so she listened to him and went inside. She walked upstairs to Kimi's room leaving Tommy downstairs with Phil and Chuckie.

Lil knocked on the door before opening it "Kimi?"

"Lil! I'm so glad you're here!" Kimi ran over to Lil and pulled her into a hug.

"Of course, I wouldn't miss your going away party"

Kimi shook her head "That's not what I meant. You haven't heard?"

Lil sat on Kimi's bed "No... Heard what?"

Kimi sat next to her "There's been a kidnapping... One of our friends."

"Who?"

"Wally."

Lil stared at the wall. One of her closest friends was kidnapped? How could that even happen? Their town is safe. Or it use to be. Lil put two and two together, that must have been what Phil told Tommy and why he didn't want her outside. Lil felt tears starting to form "I'll be right back" she told Kimi before getting up and walking down the stairs. She looked around until she found Tommy and she pulled him into the kitchen "How could you not tell me that one of my friends was kidnapped?!"

"I didn't want to worry you, Lil. I was going to tell you.. Just not now."

Lil shook her head and wiped away the tears that had started to fall. She understood why he didn't want to tell her. But she was upset that he didn't. They usually tell each other everything "How do I know if she's okay?"

"She is. This is Wally we're talking about. Wally is one of the strongest people we know." he gave Lil a hug hoping it would calm her down.

Lil nodded and pulled back. "That's true, I guess." she kissed Tommy on the cheek before turning and walking out of the kitchen. But instead of going upstairs, she went out the front door. She needed air, she doesn't know why she didn't go to the backyard. She walked off the porch and stood in the lawn. Lil felt a chill run up her spine and she turned to walk back inside but was stopped when she heard her name. She looked around but didn't see anyone. She should have run back inside right then, but she decided to try and find whoever said her name.

"Lillian" she heard the voice again, she recognized it but couldn't place who it belonged to. She turned towards the Finster's neighbors house when she heard something, but she didn't see anything. She decided it was best to go back inside but before she could make it to the steps a hand covered her mouth and started pulling her away. She tried screaming, but the hand over her mouth prevented it. She started trying to get away but whoever had her was too strong. She had tears running down her face and she was terrified. She was thrown into the backseat of a car but didn't have time to do anything before the door was shut. The driver got in and didn't even look at her. He drove off, fast.

"What do you want from me?" Lil asked. Her whole body shaking.

The guy didn't even look at her or say anything, he just continued driving. Lil knew she wasn't going to get out of this but she hoped Phil or Tommy would notice she was missing soon.


Kimi walked down the stairs and finally made an appearance at her party. She said her hellos to the people she hadn't seen yet before she walked over to Tommy and Phil "Where's Lil?"

The two exchanged looks before looking back at Kimi "I thought she was with you" Tommy said.

Kimi shook her head "I told her about Wally and then she left. I thought she would have come back up but she didn't. So I figured she was with you"

Phil walked away. Lil wouldn't have left without telling someone. He walked to the backyard and pulled his phone out, calling her but he didn't get an answer. He walked back into the house and started walking towards the front door but Kimi stopped him "Where are you going?"

"She's probably at home. I'm going to go check"

"Let me come with you then." Kimi said, not moving from in front of him.

"You can't. This is your party." he said walking around her, but she followed him

"And Lil is my best friend. She's more important than some party"

Phil didn't say anything back. He let her follow. Once they were out front Phil decided to call again and hope she answered this time. "Phil, do you hear that?"

Phil nodded and moved his phone away from his face. They both could hear a phone ringing and they started making their way towards it. Kimi bent down and picked Lil's phone up and looked at Phil. His heart beat sped up. Lil was never without her phone. Phil took off running towards his house, Kimi right behind him. He ran inside and went up to Lil's room and opened her door, but she wasn't there. Kimi looked at Phil and could see the worry in his eyes. She knew what he was thinking, and she had the same thought.

Lil had been kidnapped.
