(A/N Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews and such! I was so happy with the mount of reviews, story alerts, and favorites! THANK YOU SO MUCH! So far, I've still kept up with posting at least one chapter every day! BUT that means that I'll be updating Speechless too so each story should be updated every other day! Thanks for the reviews! It's too complicated to reply to them in here, so I'm sending out PM's to the ones worth replying too! (I love them all, but what am I supposed to say to "great story!"? I get too many to say thanks to all so I just thank you in here! You know who you are!)

Previously on What?
I woke up freezing cold in the leaves on the ground by Chloe's house. Chloe. Oh no. I called Valentina as fast as I could. I nearly messed up the buttons because my fingers were moving so fast. Why can't I be more dog than cat and smell her trail? Why did she have to be kidnapped? Was she okay? Was she even ALIVE? Where was she… Where was my Chloe.
"Hello… Alek?" Valentina picked up the phone.
"Chloe's been kidnapped." I said rapidly yet it was as calm as I could muster. I braced myself for what was to come.
Alek POV
"WHAT?" Valentina yelled into the phone, "WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL SOONER? WHY DIDN'T YOU FOLLOW HER? WHERE ARE YOU? COME HOME RIGHT NOW AND WE'RE GOING TO FIND HER!"
"I don't have a single idea where she is though!" I panicked.
"WELL then we'll find a starting point!" Valentina was over the shock now and starting to be herself more again.
"Okay." I started calming down just a little because I knew that we were going to find Chloe soon.
Chloe POV
"Who are you?" I stared at the man.
"Mr. Rezza to you. Now. Here's the deal. You're in here for a reason. You're the Unitor. Now, I recently told my son about you, and he said that you were too… kind…. To be killed. So guess what! You're going to go through tests and trials here. Some of which would be this current one you are in. For the rest of the day, you will not be fed or see any color besides gray. This will drive you a little insane… which is why we're doing this. The tests will take about a year and a half. Nobody will find you here. We made sure of that. We aren't in America anymore, Chloe. Nobody will know that though. Except me and you. By the time you are released after these tests… you won't even remember your name." Mr. Rezza talked as if I was his slave. Which I was starting to worry that I pretty much was… I mean, I'm not even in the U.S. anymore, so how the heck is Alek going to find me? Great. Just great. He's going to brainwash me… How will I escape?
Alek POV
Where was she? I mean, how far could they have gotten? Wait… what if they had a jet plane? I mean… the Order IS very wealthy… NO! Alek don't think that… even though it's possible… STOP! I have to be positive. I have to stay strong. For Chloe. MY Chloe. Or was she Tanner's Chloe now? I hope not. Oh no… what if we don't find her? But we will! We have to! She's the Unitor! Besides… she's probably still in San Fransisco… So now I just have to find her. I headed to the park. The I slowly made my way to the outskirts of town. I checked every single warehouse in San Fransisco. Where was she? It was already past sunset. Valentina told me to go get some sleep and we'll try again tomorrow.
Somehow, I knew she was long gone. I began to give up on finding her. I cried myself to sleep with the simple thought of never seeing Chloe again. We'd lost our Unitor… under MY watch. It was all my fault…!
Chloe POV
Mr. Rezza was right. I was starving and I was going mad in here! What did colors even look like! I'd forgotten! I'd taken them for granted and now I'd been staring at gray for so long that I couldn't get the image of it out of my head and I was going mad! How could he do this to me! If this was a SIMPLE test, what would the harder ones be? I had to get out of here! But how… I was strictly confined and they had cameras in my room… GRAY cameras. UGH! Why me? Why couldn't someone else take my place as the Unitor. Why did MY life have to be so complicated. Amy and Paul were probably freaking out right now. I mean, I would've told them if I ran away and I'm pretty sure that Alek would be worried sick. What time was it anyways? I was too anxious to sleep, even though once I fell asleep that would make my life a whole lot easier to handle at the moment! At least my dreams had COLOR! And food…
I gave up. I went face down on the bed and closed my eyes… TRYING to fall asleep… Trying… and failing miserably. I'm never going to escape. I'll try not to give in to their "tests and trials" but just by the power of this one, I can tell I may not have a choice.
(A/N So guys, I hope to get positive feedback from this! I enjoyed writing this chapter and I wanna have reviews because reviews make me update faster! And I might not update tomorrow because I'm going shopping and doing homework after dance practice which gets over at 5:30… so yeah… busy,busy,busy! PLEASE give me enough reviews that I have a reason to update!
