Okay, so you must all really, really hate me right now, and I'm really, really sorry. I brought smileys. :D :) :] I'm really sorry *virtual hug* it's been over a year.

So I've taken DarkFireAngel00's review into consideration, and yes! Why not. Let us make her look like the young Angelina Jolie. I hope you enjoy. :)

"Huh? Yes?" Eliza forced a smile as she looked at Sara.

"Your device is ringing." Sara replied whilst motioning to her phone.

And Eliza did hear it ringing, but she couldn't see it. She needed to answer that phone right away if it was who she thought it was. She searched her pockets frantically, but it wasn't there. She was sure she'd taken it out of her bag already, so she saw no point in looking for it there. She was starting to panic. She needed to know who was calling her. What if it was her sister? Had she escaped from father as well? What if it was her father? No. She wished with every fiber in her body that it wasn't her father because if it was the-

"I believe this is what you're searching for?" Seth's irritated voice cut through her train of thought and she accidentally elbowed his chest in surprise.

She yelped not only because she was caught off guard, but because Seth had one hard chest. She rubbed her elbow briefly before extending her hand out to Seth's hand which was holding her phone. "Thanks?" She supplied.

Seth rolled his eyes and tossed her phone on her lap. She picked it up immediately and flipped it open. "Hello?" She squeaked.

"Eliza."

She deflated in relief. She didn't realize that she had been so stiff and so tense earlier. She looked around her. Had she been distracted for that long? They must have been at least 6 miles away from Vegas because they were now in the middle of the desert, a part of Nevada she was not at all familiar with. Then again, she never really got to go out much, her school and the house were the only places she had been to ever since today, she was always either grounded or under heavy watch, both of which was synonymous to having no life anyway.

"Hey Justin," She let out a shaky breath. Justin was her only friend aside from Emma. He was her biology partner, the only person who hasn't taken one look at Eliza and run away scared that if they said the wrong thing to her, she'd sic her bodyguards on them. Well, he didn't have much of a choice in the first place he couldn't pass biology without talking to her.

They talked for a while, discussing homework and the upcoming finals, until Justin briefly stopped talking. A voice in the background was saying something and then Justin came back on. "Hey, Elle," He paused. "I have to go."

Eliza blinked. Okay? "Umm, yeah. That's alright. I'll talk to you soon Jus." Eliza was about to hang up when Justin said something again.

"Elle,"

"Yeah?"

"Take care of yourself, yeah?"

"Jack Bruno! The vehicle behind us is indicating a pattern of pursuit." She heard Sara say as she felt Sara shift in her seat to turn around.

"Huh?" Eliza asked Justin. She turned around in her seat as well to check out what Sarah was looking at. There was a big black SUV right on their tail. She immediately faced forward and sunk in her seat, hoping not to be seen. How did they know? She thought as she shut her eyes tightly.

"Just always watch out." Justin said.

Just as Justin said that the black SUV behind them suddenly rammed into the back of the cab sending everyone lurching forward. Eliza lost grip of her phone and it fell to the floor in the front seat.

"Everybody get down!" The cab driver who Eliza now knew to be Jack yelled at the three of them.

Eliza was already way ahead of everybody; she was practically lying on the floor in fear. She held her arms above her head, and she was shaking slightly.

She tried to calm herself. She started thinking. She thought about algebra homework.

Find a number x such that 3x + 78 = 10.

She heard a bang and then the sound of shattering glass. She clenched her fists and tried to block everything out. She kept thinking. If you sell x tickets, then your profit will be 3x − 10 dollars, or f(x) = 3x − 10, where f is the function, and x is the number to which the function is applied.

She heard more glass shattering, and in that moment she just wished that that damned SUV would smash into something and crumple like a tin can.

She felt shifting and movement above her. It must've been Seth and Sara.

"Seth, no." She heard Sara say with concern coloring her voice.

"I have to try." Seth said.

Eliza opened her eyes just in time to see Seth literally sink into the seat and disappear. She sat up and immediately touched the seat that Seth occupied just before he disappeared into thin air. It didn't feel intangible. It was solid. Eliza frowned and turned to look at Sara. But Sara wasn't looking at her. Sara was looking behind the cab. Eliza peeked from behind the car seat, careful not to show too much of her face. And what she saw wanted to make her faint right there and then. Seth stood in front of the now crumpled black SUV.

Eliza blinked. Once. Twice. The scene before her didn't disappear. It was real.

And before she could think of anything else, Seth turned around and starting running back towards the cab. Strangely enough, the cab started moving backwards, towards Seth. Eliza's eyes widened and she turned around and pressed her back against the seat. She was pretty sure she wasn't concussed. She was pretty sure she was awake. And she was pretty sure that this wasn't a dream.

"What have I gotten myself into?" She whispered.

So that concludes this chapter. I know, I know. You guys waited too long and deserve better than this, and I promise I'll update soon. This is just a filler chapter. Please tell me if it sucks, I haven't written anything in a while *cough* a year *cough* and my well of imagination's run dry a long time ago. Haha.

I'll see you guys soon, please don't hate me.
