Chapter Three: The Strongest Of Us Falls

Cat's POV

Okay, so things right now aren't so great. I've been rolling around in a van that I was thrown into earlier. I still see Beck or Jade in their cars right now trying to speed along to find me, but where's Andre?

"That girl doesn't have a phone on her. We checked her bags and her pockets already and she doesn't have one. We're good!" My phone? What happened to my phone? Oh yeah, it's in my shirt since I didn't have pockets. I also didn't want to put it in my bag. It's a good thing that I didn't. I think they still don't know that I'm awake, so I drag my body to my pink bag the best way I could, my ankles and wrists still have the plastic wires around them. I remember that Jade placed one of her pocket knifes in it. I'm almost there until one guy realizes what's going on.

"Hey, look she woke up!" Chuckles surround the room. What could be so funny. He comes close to me and makes me sit up. If it wasn't for these wires, I would of punched this guy in the face and already be in my parents arms. Jade showed me how to fight and it would of worked, too. These drunken men are smarter than they look. "Sorry, sweetie, but we need to blindfold you so you don't know where we're taking you." he whispers in my ear. I shudder and the idea of me being taken away from everything I cherished. My friends, family, Hollywood Arts, the beach, the sun, life. Suddenly a blindfold is placed around my head and covering my eyes. I try my best to see, but I give up. I squeeze my eyes shut. I've never been so scared in my life. "Oh, and this should knock you out for a long while." he presses his lips to my check and I gag at how sick and cold it feels. These people are sick. Something covers my mouth and this time I don't struggle since I really don't want to know what's going on. I hear Jade's voice. She's yelling and screaming! Is she being kidnapped, too? Her voice seems so distant now; like it's so far away. The world spins around me or it would if it wasn't so dark.

Beck gripped his steering wheel tight. His knuckles were white and his teeth were clenched. He had to save his love of his life. He had to. She made him so happy at times where he never thought he would even show a small smile. Earlier he saw Cat punch the window with her tied up hands. She stopped when she saw Beck stare into her eyes. She looked so afraid and desperate. He needed to rescue her. Beck notices Jade's car getting closer and closer. She's screaming out the window. His eyes widen at what happens to Jade.

Jade needs her best friend. If Cat's gone then there is no reason to live. Simply as that. Her car reaches closer and closer to the cursed van that stole her best friend. Jade finally catches up with the white van and rolls down the window.

"Let Cat go you sick dogs!" Jade screams. The driver rolls down his window and smirks at the yelling teen. He rolls his window up and does something Jade didn't think he would do. He drove the van harshly knocking the side of her car. She growls and tries to keep hold of the wheel. He does it more and more until she looses control of the wheel. She screams as the car rolls uncontrollably into a large ditch. She rolls around with the car thanking God that she had her seatbelt on. If she didn't she would have crashed into the windshield. Glass breaks all around her and she bangs her head. "Aww, man." Jade groans clutching her bleeding head. She can't feel her legs.

Smoke starts to appear from the broken windshield. "No!" Jade gasps. She crashes her side with the door to try to get out when she notices her belly is all cut up from the glass. She couldn't care less. All that matters was that she gets out of here before the car explodes. She crashes her side with the door, repeatedly, clutching the door handle for dear life hoping it will open. She yelps in pain since she hit her stomach on the steering wheel. "Please, God, please let me live. Let me make it out of here. Please, please, please. I need to rescue my best friend, Cat. Please let her live also. I'm begging you in my time in need. Please!" She pleads and she crashes onto the door once more. She hears a click. She laughs in pure happiness when the door opens and tears roll down her cheeks. She was given a second chance. Jade unbuckles the seatbelt and it rips out glass from her stomach. She screams and clutches her tummy. She sees that the car is upside down when it's too late. She fell out of the car landing on her back. She gasps for air and her eyes widen. The smoke forming from her car was now a large orange flame. She only had a matter of minutes before the car explodes. She ignores the shooting pain from her leg, now she sees why it was so numb. One of her pocket knifes was stabbing her leg. It wasn't so deep yet. She runs up the hill quickly. Come on, come on. You can make it. Jade reaches the top and a car stops in front of her. She sees Andre.

"What happened to you?" Jade snarls at him. His eyes widen at the state she's in. They both hear a loud explosion and see flames licking up her car.

"I could ask you the same thing. Here" Andre lifts up Jade in his arms trying to avoid the broken shards and the knife handle stabbing through her body.

"Can I lay down it hurts so much." she groans when he lays her down in his backseat. He goes into the driver's seat. He hit one of the petals making sure it was in park, but he didn't notice that he stomped on the gas petal, hard. He turned back around to tend to Jade. He grabs one of his shirts and ripped a large piece off. He grips on the knife handle that is stabbing her leg.

"Jade." he rips the thin black leggings that is surrounding the knife. She grows pale realizing what he was going to do.

"No, no, no, NO! Please Andre, don't." Jade shakes her head franticly. Andre sadly shakes his head.

"Jade, we have to do this."

"Well, can't we just go to a hospital?"

"Jade do you really want them to cut around the wound and surgically remove it?" Jade slowly shakes her head no. "Okay, do this for Cat and bite down on this." he hands her a wallet and she shuts her eyes tight and bites down on it for dear life. He slowly pulls out the small pocket knife; that way it wouldn't bleed as much as it would if he would of just ripped it out. Jade groans in pain and tears start rolling down her cheeks again at the pain she was feeling. Hurry! She couldn't deal with the pain. Soon he's wrapping the ripped shirt around her thigh tightly. He looks to the glass that was cutting up her stomach. He remembers the first aid kit that his crazy grandmother left in his glove box before she went crazy. He thanked her in his mind for doing that. He grabs it quickly and takes out the bandages. He wrapped them around the shirt that was covering her deep cut.

"How do you know how to do this?" Jade asks quietly as she winces in pain.

"I watched my mom do it for me when I cut my leg when I was little." Jade smiled at him ignoring the pain.

"Where is your mom?"

"She's on a trip in Europe trying to save kids from poverty." Andre smiled. He was so proud of his mother; he wondered if she was proud of him.

"Aww, that's great." Jade's eyes widen when she saw him grab a pair of tweezers. "No, you're not going to pull out the glass, are you?"

"Jade, you have to, for Cat." Jade groaned and bit down on the wallet again. Andre pulled up her shirt midway so he wouldn't make her mad. He pulled out each piece of glass slowly and then wrapped the bandages around her stomach tightly. Jade opened her eyes and saw that the car was in motion and a large semi truck was heading towards them.

"ANDRE!" Andre jumped in the back landing on Jade who was yelping in pain. The large semi truck wooshed in front of their wide empty eyes. The front half of the car was gone leaving Jade and Andre staring in shock. If Andre would have stayed, he would have been gone.

"Oh my God." they both whisper gapping at the near death experience.

"Are you kids alright? I was not looking where I was driving." a drunken man stumbles over to the two teens who were still trying process what just happened. "Dang girl, what happened to you? I'll call the police."

"No, Cat!" Jade cries out remembering why all these dangers were happening to them.

"Cat? I looked to see if there was anything in the front of the car and I didn't see no cat." The man says with wrong grammar.

"No, not a cat, like an animal. Cat, as in a person; that's her name." Andre glares daggers at the man who almost took his life.

"Like I said, there was nothing in the front. If there was, they're dead."

"No, she was kidnapped!"

"Hey, what happened to you?" a police man raises an eyebrow at Jade.

"I was in a car accident." Jade tells him in a as-a-matter-of-fact tone. What else would have happened to her? These people were causing her pain.

"Oh, so you're the one who caused the exploding car back in the creek." The man says glaring at her.

"I did not! I was a victim! The man who kidnapped my friend did this to me!" She yells at the police man. Cat. She needed to find her best friend before it was too late.

"Oh, the red head? This boy told us and we closed the up coming exit of Los Angeles, so they can't escape. Unless they take another exit, but we'll catch them by then. Hop into my police car and I'll take you to the hospital." Andre felt a weight being lifted off his shoulders. There was no way that they could exit L.A. without being caught. He felt so relieved. Too bad they were all wrong.

Beck finally caught up to the white van at a red light. He exited his car quickly and knocked on the van's driver's window. The man rolled it down and smiled.

"Let Cat go." Beck growls out dangerously. He would do anything right now just to have Cat back in his arms again. He hoped that Jade and Andre were safe, but the only thing that was on his mind was Cat.

"Aww, look at Becky trying to free his girlfriend." The man blew in Beck's face.

"As much as I want her to be, she isn't my girlfriend. How do you know my name?" Beck franticly yells. The light was going to turn green.

"All will be answered at the end."

"NO! CAT, CAT!" With that the man with the toothy grin drove the vehicle to the left and smashed into Beck's side. Beck falls to the ground and watches the van speed off. Beck runs into his car, but is stopped by a police.

"Beck, stop chasing him. They're going to be caught." Beck looks up to the man who stopped him.

"Mr. Vega?" Beck turns around and sees Trina and Tori crying into each others arms in Mr. Vega's car. He also sees Robbie trying to hold back tears.

"We're going to the hospital. Andre and Jade are there. Jade has to get stitches."

"Jade? She's still alive? Thank God!" Beck lets out a sigh of relief. Trina and Tori come out of the vehicle and run to Beck.

"Cat!"

"You rescued her, right?" He shakes his head no to Trina who begins to start crying again and Tori falls to the ground sobbing in her hands.

"Why, why, why?" the two girls ask. It just doesn't make any sense.

Cat in her dreamland is engulfed in the darkness. She hears Beck calling her name and sees all her friends crying, screaming, or in critical pain. Beck stops screaming her name and she's in the darkness once again. She has to get out of here. They are going to save her. She feels it with all her heart in soul. Cat just hopes it's soon.

"Help." Cat whimpers helplessly in her sleep.

The three men jump at her sudden whisper and pout. They hate that this beautiful innocent girl is going to go through hell and, if the plans go right, she'll be killed. Even if they don't want to, they have to, or else.

"Kids, I'm sorry." Jade, Beck, Tori, Robbie, Andre, Trina all silently look to Mr. Vega. "They got away." With that everyone goes into a frantic state of mind. Jade stomps, well tries to stomp, over to a crying Beck. She swipes her hand across his face leaving a handprint.

"Stop crying! Have hope; if you love her, you have to be strong!" Jade yells in the shocked Beck's face.

"Jade's right!" Tori takes a stand wiping away her tears. "We cannot just sit here and cry. We have to try everything in our willpower to help Cat." Everyone nods to the two teens.

"We are going to find Cat. I can feel it. The real question is how?" Trina also takes a stand wiping her tears. She loved Cat to death and Cat didn't deserve this.

"We just have to… we can… Cat." Jade falls to the ground and curls up into a ball crying her eyes out in her hands. Everyone stares at her sobbing state in disbelief. With the strongest of them all crushed, was there really a way to find Cat?

Preview for Chapter Four: There Is a Way

"Helllooo?" Cat's voice echoes through the large room surrounded by people. She was sitting on her knees with her feet and hands tied up with a plastic wire. Her eyes were still blindfolded. "Big men who threw me in the van? My nose itches and I can't scratch it!" Cat shouts unaware of the people surrounding her.

Trina, Robbie, Tori, Jade, Andre, and Beck all watched the Valentine's screen in shock. The image zoomed out from Cat to the whole entire room and they saw a man who caused Cat so many tears. Daniel.
