I woke up when I heard a shuffling noise. With a yawn, I opened my eyes. Darkness. I could only see darkness. Mom must have shut my window, because when I'd fallen asleep, I'd seen a bit of moonlight flowing through the blinds. It was kind of like a night light. I breathed in, unexpectedly feeling smooth cotton filling my mouth. Stupid blanket.

It probably wasn't very good that I was afraid of the dark. I tried to reach up and pull my blanket off of my face, but I realized in horror that my arms were restrained against me. I could only move my fingers. I wriggled them in shock.

I tried to roll over, but my arms just wouldn't budge enough to move that much. Was I feeling rope against my skin?

I started to kick with my feet, but my ankles were tied, too.

"What's going on?" I yelled out. I didn't think I was in my room anymore. Whatever was happening, it was freaking me out.

"Mom?" I desperately pleaded, hoping this was just a bad dream. After no answer, I took a deep breath and opened my mouth to scream.

"Ahhh-" I began, but I warm hand was placed over my mouth. The blindfold over my eyes was gently untied, and the fabric over my mouth was slowly pulled off of my face.

"Don't scream again." The person chuckled quietly. I opened my eyes slowly to meet a pair of uncertain brown ones. It took me a moment, but my eyes adjusted to the dark and I realised who I was looking at.

"Kevin!" I exclaimed. A friendly smile replaced my look of terror.

"Macy." He said politely. I giggled, thinking about how he'd tricked me. I kept thinking about it. And thinking about it. And then I realized that this was a little fishy. My instincts kicked in, and my eyes began to dart around anxiously.

"Where are we? What am I doing," I said, looking around, "in your car?"

"Well, we're in… Arizona." My eyes widened.

"No. We were in Jersey last time I checked. Kevin, tell me we're in Jersey. Right now. At least lie like you mean it. We're in Jersey." I rambled nervously.

"We were… eleven hours ago." He said, putting his key in the ignition. I could almost feel my eyes sink into my face. After a moment of gaping, I straightened up and tried to make sense of everything.

"Kevin, can you, um take care of this?" I asked, nodding toward the rope that was tightly knotted around my waist, pinning my arms to me.

"Take care of what?" he asked, not seeing the nod.

"Untie my arms!" I squealed impatiently, not bothering to control my voice. He looked at me curiously for a moment, then leaned down to grab a piece of the rope and pull, letting my hands free. I waited for a moment for him to turn around.

"Why am I in Arizona? Why was I tied up? Why are you driving me around in your car? Did you kidnap me?" my voice rose with every sentence I spoke. Kevin smirked sheepishly.

"This is not funny!" I yelled, frustrated.

"Why would you kidnap me? Why didn't you wake me up? I would have gone on a road trip with you if you asked! I could have left a note or something! My mom is going to freak out. Where's my cell phone?" I took a deep breath to make up for the lack of oxygen, mostly from half-hyperventilating. I started to pat my pockets.

"Macy…" Kevin warned, softly grabbing my wrists.

"Let go of me!" I screeched. This was freaking me out really bad. My hands fumbled for the locked door, pulling up the switch to unlock it and groping for the handle.

"You have no way to get back to Jersey! I'll take you if you just get back in the car!" he yelled as I jumped out of the car. Stopping for only a moment, I looked up to see the rising Arizona sun. I hastily untied the rope around my ankles before I tried to walk or run.

What now? Just run away? It would be blazing hot in a couple hours. Well, at least we were in a city. I could see houses a few blocks away. As of now, it looked as if we were in front of a small park. I would go now, and call my mom later. I started to run, not looking back. I was so sure Kevin wouldn't follow me.

A pair of burly arms locked around my torso, holding my arms to my sides. I almost fell to the ground out of shock, but Kevin held me up. Looking around, I saw that he'd pulled me out of the street and behind a tree, hiding us from view. I thought back to my self-defense class.

"I'm sorry, Kevin." I said sincerely. I kicked my foot back between his legs, wincing when I heard him grunt.

"Ow, crap!" he said, letting me go and covering his lower…extremities. He recovered quickly, though, because he got back up before I could even start to leave. He grabbed me once again, but pushed his knee into my back. I tried to kick again, but I couldn't reach very far behind me.

He was good.

I had one more chance to get away, or at least distract him so I could distance myself from him. I struggled, trying to free myself and reach for my cell phone in my back pocket at the same time. It was only a few more inches away…

One of Kevin's hands snaked its way down to my back pocket before my hand could get there, and grabbed my cell phone. His fingers tickled my lower back as they came up with the thin mobile device. I blushed.

Kevin sighed, taking one arm off of me, but grabbing both of my arms with the other. I trudged along with him back to the car. Watching closely, I saw Kevin's eyes go dull, lose the enthusiasm to fight, and lastly, lose the happy glint.

Why did Kevin Lucas, of all people, know how to fight or restrain people? Especially me, with the karate lessons?

Why did Kevin Lucas, of all people, want to kidnap me?

Run, don't walk, the sky is falling through

Don't talk tonight

I am so confused

I'm lost, I'm lost with you

I don't care where we are

Or where we're headed to

But I know I'm lost,

I'm lost with you
