A/N: Hullo! I really hope you enjoy this FF, it's been quite a while since I've written FF. Anyways ENJOY AND REVIEW. Have a lovely day.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Alex Rider series and the characters only belong to Anthony Horrowitz who is an absolute amazing man (not to brag but I did meet him and OMG he is sooo nice) Byee.
Alex opened his eyes, the smell was revolting. It clogged his lungs and made his nose cringe. As his vision cleared away he could see the smoke slowly curling above his head like lost souls. He immediately sat up, rubbing his eyes as they stung from the smoke. He looked to his door and saw tiny yellow flickers of light peeping from underneath his door. He stumbled to his door, coughing and hiding his eyes from the smoke that hung like dark clouds in his room. He pulled the door open and was thrown back. The heat was so intense. He looked up to see large flames of fire dancing right outside his door. And that's when he heard the screaming.
"Sabina!" he shouted, coughing so hard he felt as though his lungs would fall out. He wiped at his burning eyes as he stood up only to fall back down. The smoke was taking over too fast, much too fast. He crouched low and tried to crawl to his window. The metal handle was warm, making him flinch at first. He then quickly pushed the window open, popping his head out and breathing in the sweet scents of oxygen. He coughed out loud and tried to call for help, only to get a tiny wheeze to come out. He shouted once again and fortunately got a louder call. He could feel the flames getting closer, teasing his back and legs, getting a taste of his flesh.
Suddenly he heard a loud crash and looked down to see three men dressed in dark clothes drag out Sabina, Liz and Edward. All three were screaming and kicking at their captors.
"Sabina!" Alex shouted again, his voice echoing in the dark and empty street. All of them looked up to find a dirty Alex looking down upon them. One of the men signaled at the door and then they continued their walk out the gates with the still screaming victims in their huge arms. Alex tried to clamber over the window, placing his leg outside and finding the window sill. He could see the lights from the other houses switching on and he even heard people shouting. Just as he was about to pull his other leg out, he was suddenly pulled back. His head smacked against the window frame as he crashed onto his bed. Stars danced in his vision as a dark figure sat on top of him. Alex tried to raise his hands to fight back against the large monster. But they are pushed to his side and the creature's large knees dug into them. Alex screamed, choking as he breathed in a lungful of smoke. The large creature began to form a shape with a bald head and absolutely bright gleaming green eyes. His lips were curled into a cruel smile that would remain in Alex's memory for years.
The man wrapped his black gloved hands tight round Alex's throat, cutting off his air supple immediately. This was worse than the smoke, much worse. He tried to hit at the man, tried to scratch his hairy sweaty arms, try to pry those sneer lips off of his face, try to scar those puffed up red cheeks, he tried everything. But slowly he was floating away, his pain beginning to fade away as the grey smoke mixed with his vision. He could hear the sirens ringing, whether it was in his mind or outside he would never know. The man was changing, his face swirling, his arms slowly raised itself away from Alex's neck, he could breathe again but it wasn't clear, the air was rough, cloggy. Just before Alex's eyes rolled back in his head, he caught just a glance of his attacker winking at him. Then everything faded to black.
Alex breathed in deeply, his chest heaving in and out. He could hear voices, surrounding him, deafening him. He opened his eyes a tiny bit, viewing his environment through slits. He could see a young man with the most amazing blue eyes pressing his hand against Alex's face. It looked funny, he wanted to laugh. But the man looked serious, dead serious especially with those icy blue eyes. So serious but why? Then Alex's eyes rolled to the back of his head and everything once more went blank.
Sabina opened her eyes, her head hurt badly. Where was she?
Suddenly the memories came flooding back and she raised her hands to her head.
Oh God, I've been kidnapped…
She opened her eyes wide and tried to examine her settings. But all she could see was the empty colour black. Great.
She quickly tried to revise what had happened. She was sleeping when she heard a crash. A really loud crash. She walked out of her room and was about to go downstairs when she saw the smoke coming from the living room. That's when things become somewhat of a blur until those men in black had turned up, dragged her and her parents out while at the same time lighting up the hallway right in front of Alex's room. Alex! Oh gosh, how was he? He definitely hadn't come with them, she remembered seeing his soot covered face peeking out through the window. They had a bit of an argument last night, it was about Jack.
The door burst in, shedding painful light right in her eyes.
"Good she's awake." A deep gruff voice echoed in the empty room. Before Sabina could even open her eyes, she felt rough hands grip her tight and lift her up. They dragged her by her arms out the door, her eyes burning from the sudden light. She looked down, blinked away the rising tears and looked straight ahead. The men were letting her feet drag along the carpet floor but their grip around her arms meant business. That didn't mean that she couldn't try.
Sabina pulled her arms away as tight as she could and jabbed both of the men right at their stomachs. Having a boyfriend like Alex meant free fighting lessons. She quickly turned and ran the opposite way, pumping her arms to build up the speed. She still felt dizzy but she pushed the negative thoughts away and tried to look for a way out. She could feel the vibrations through the carpet of the men's large lunging steps. This just made her run faster, she always hated the thought of looking back to see her pursuers, it just made her more afraid. The hallway kept going straight and she could feel her limbs slowly tiring themselves out.
Suddenly she was rammed onto the floor, slamming her head against the wall. Bright yellow stars danced in her vision as she tried to shake off the blinding pain. A man so large she feared how he would look like standing up, gave her a sharp angry gaze that showed that he would not care of the fact that she was a girl, if she was annoying him, he would hurt her. The man stood up roughly as his partner ran over. They exchanged a couple of words but that was the last Sabina heard as she slowly disappeared into an empty void…
