For my science/writing/language teacher Mrs. Hoover who read my first book and gave me confidence and for my older sister Mariah who taught me never to give up even when things seem too hard.
THANK YOU

CHAPTER 1
Trapped
"It's not my fault really. If you really think about it, it's your fault. I mean, you never checked how I was doing or anything like that. If you had, I would've told you that I didn't feel like I was hanging onto my sanity very well and we could've done something about it. But, oh well. I guess what's done is done. We can't turn back now. Sorry."
Cookie was almost talking to herself. The others were only just then starting to regain consciousness and it would be amazing if they could even understand what she was saying.
"Wha…what happened? Where are we?" Lucky asked as he opened his eyes and noticed that he was chained to a board. He saw Cookie standing in front of him and the other 3 (Nibblet, Squirt, and Strudel) chained down just as he was.
"Cookie? Where are we? What's going on? Why…HOLY CRAP!" Lucky was cut off by looking up and seeing a huge buzz saw right above his head and one right in front of his chest. There were different kinds of blades above and in front of all four of them. Above and in front of him were those buzz saws, above and in front of Nibblet were three butcher's knives, above and in front of Squirt were large kitchen knives (one above and one in front), and above and in front of strudel were five sharp objects all looking like instruments of torture.
"W-w-wha-what's g-g-going on?" Strudel struggled to say. She was shaking and starring at the tools just inches above her head.
"Oh, well, I thought about what good friends we all are and if I do this, we will be even closer. See, friends sometimes betray each other and I don't want that to happen. But then I thought, 'It must be their hearts and brains telling them to.' So I came to the conclusion that, if I take out both your hearts and brains, you will be good friends and not want to hurt me. Then, we can be best friends for ever!" Cookie explained, her voice no longer sweet but now scary and insane.
"P-please Cookie, we won't betray you! We promise! Please?" Squirt pleaded.
"You…you promise?" Cookie asked.
"We swear on our lives." Lucky said.
"I…I don't know…I…I don't want to be betrayed…but you did swear on your lives. Well…okay. I'll let you go. But if you do anything like betray me I-" Cookie tricked, and before she even finished her last sentence, she turned on the
buzz saws in front and above lucky and everyone but her closed their eyes. They heard horrible screams of pain and warm blood splattered all over them. Then, the screams stopped, but the blood and gore splattered more and more until Cookie shut off the power.
The stench of blood and guts filled the air and Strudel, Nibblet, and Squirt wouldn't open their eyes. Lucky was gone, and they couldn't bring him back.
Cookie's eyes widened, she dropped to the floor sobbing.
"What have I done!?" She screamed.
She had killed the one she loved. She let the others free and grabbed a knife. Just as she went to stab herself, Nibblet grabbed her.
"No! No! No! Don't kill yourself! We can go back to the cat that brought Squirt back and bring Lucky back." Nibblet said.
"You're right! Come on! Let's go." Cookie exclaimed, now filled with hope.
So they grabbed Lucky in a blanket and started off to find the cat.
