Please review, this is my first fanfic.

The girl was so cold, tired and sore, but she just kept running. She didn't notice the rocks digging into her feet, or the branches scratching her as she ran as fast as she could. Stumbling, she got up as fast as she could, briefly pausing hearing the sound of dogs behind her, before she started running again. Suddenly she was a flare go up in the night sky, it was so bright it temporarily blinded her. Catching her foot under a raised root, she fell, hitting the ground hard; she continued rolling down the side of a hill. Slamming hard into a tree, she suddenly stopped. Pain exploded in her and she knew she had broken a couple ribs. Trying to catch her breath, she rolled onto her back, and looked directly into the pissed off eyes of Snyder.

"Thought you could get away did you?" Snyder smirked, a look of surprise crossing his face when he saw the girl get up, into fighting stance. "Think you can beat me?!"

"Maybe, maybe not, but I won't just give up either!" She wheezed back defiantly, unable to catch her breath enough to yell.

Suddenly a couple of his men came out of the forest behind him. "Grab her, and don't injure her too much, she's worth more to me alive" He ordered his men, as he turned around. The men started walking towards her, one to each side. Not wanting to allow both to attack at once, Amara attacked the one to her left with a left front push kick, followed up with a right roundhouse to the head. Preparing to turn around to face the second guy, Amara felt herself grabbed in a full nelson. Grabbing behind her opponents head, and dropping her weight to one knee, Amara threw him over her head, punching him in the face when he landed. Getting up to block her first opponent, who by now had recovered, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her side, causing her to catch her breath, and move slower. To slow to block the kick to her head, Amara went down hard. Unable to move quickly enough, the men grabbed her, and carried her back to the compound, kicking and screaming. "Let me go!"

"I can see you're gonna need more discipline young girl. You two, tie her up there." Snyder said indicating a thick wooden pole with a hook at the top and chains hanging down. She felt her wrists being secured in the chains, despite how much she fought them. "Now, since you seem to think you can just waltz out of here, and disobey me, I think you need a little lesson." Snyder said. "Bite me!" Amara snarled back. Next thing she knew, pain exploded from her back, as Snyder whipped her, before long, she passed out.

The alarm went off with a loud buzzing, groaning a tall boy got out of bed and turned off the Alarm. "Hey Colt, Tum Tum, get up!" Rocky yelled. His 5'11", athletic frame was dressed in black silk boxers. Walking to the bathroom to get a shower, Rocky didn't pay any attention to his brothers climbing out of bed grumbling. 30 min later, Rocky was walking into the kitchen. "Morning mom, where's dad?" Rocky gave his mom a kiss. "He's already at work sweetie." She replied. "Hey mom, whats wrong?" Rocky asked, looking at his mom, and for the first time noticing how sad she looked. "Well sweetie, one of your dads old partners' daughter went missing."

"Who? Do I know him?"

"Yes, you remember Bill? He was on the Snyder case with your dad, he was one of the agents there the night we got you and your brothers off the boat."

"Yeah I remember him, he moved shortly after that right? Up north somewhere."

"Yes that's right, well his oldest daughter has been missing for a few weeks, she never came home from soccer practice, you might remember her, she was your age, you met a couple times."

"Yeah I think I remember her a little bit, so is that why you're sad?"

"Yes sweetie, that and, your dad has been requested by Bill to work on this case, so we will have to put off Ninja training with your grandpa for a bit this summer, you and your brothers will be coming with us up there. We're leaving Sunday morning." Jessica said, looking concerned at Rocky and his brothers, who had just walked into the kitchen. "Ok mom, whatever we can do to help with finding her, I'm sure grandpa will understand." Rocky glanced back at his brothers to see the nodding in agreement.

"He already knows, and thanks for your understanding boys, now time to get to school or you'll be late!"

"Bye mom, love you." The boys said, running out to Rocky's car. "So how much did you guys hear?" Rocky asked. "Enough to understand what's going on" Colt replied, "What do you think happened? How long do you think she's been gone?" "Well it obviously hasn't been a month, but mom said a few weeks, I would guess it's probably been 3 weeks. As for what happened, I dunno, I hope she's ok, but I have a bad feeling about this." Rocky replied.
