The black cloth must have been thinner than the kidnappers thought, because it fell from Piki's eyes. She looked at what was around her. The woman who was watching her had a bob of dark red hair. She was laid out on a dark brown sofa playing a handheld computer game. She had deep black circles under her eyes. It surprised her that the woman had made no attempt to attach a new blindfold. The door clicked open. Piki looked up to see two men. One had black hair that looked like it had never been brushed and wore a grey shirt and jeans that where dirty and torn. The other was a complete opposite. He had soft dirty blonde hair and wore a black jacket and jeans.
"About time you guys got here."
Piki looked down at the men's feet. They had a brown sack lay on the floor.
What IS in that? Potatoes.
"Sorry, we got lost."
The woman laughed and shut off her game. "I can't blame you. That wood is very easy to get lost in."
So they've been to the woods. But…why?
"Did you succeed?"
The blonde haired man nodded.
"Yeh we got it."
"Well put it next to the girl."
The blonde haired man walked over to Piki and placed the sack at her feet. She nudged it with her foot. It felt lumpy and warm.
What kind of potato's are these?
"Ah, is the little girl curious." The woman laughed and walked to the doorway.
"I believe that it's your turn to watch Cameron."
Cameron groaned, rolled his eyes and slumped down onto the sofa.
"I hope your happy Arlene."
The woman turned round and smiled.
"I am actually."
She left the doorway and dragged the dark haired boy with her. Piki looked down at the sack again.
Did it just…twitch?
The sack moved slightly making Piki jump.
Cameron laughed at the sight.
"Don't worry it wont bite."
He pulled out a small iPod and started to listen to music. He looked back at Piki.
"Want to listen?"
This guy is awfully friendly for a kidnapper.
She nodded and Cameron placed a headphone in one of her ears. It was familiar to her. She just couldn't remember where she had heard it…
5 years ago…
Piki ran over to her friends who where sat on the grassy bank at the back area of their school.
"Piki, we thought you weren't going to show."
Piki sat down next to her two friends.
"Sorry, the witch kept me in."
Nellie laughed and played with her bracelet.
"You still have that old thing huh?"
"I do. You still have that old pendant?"
Ed pulled out a sliver chain from his shirt.
"I never leave home without it."
Piki smiled. Ed pulled out his iPod and gave it to Piki. There's a song on here that I think you'll like."
Piki pressed to buttons on the device until the song came on.
~Sorry I cannot hear you..
Present…
"Im kinda busy."
Cameron sang the last words when the iPod turned off.
"Ah, out of charge."
He placed the iPod back in his pocket and turned on a small TV.
Cameron looked back at Piki.
"For the record, I was totally against the abduction. I was dragged in by Tim and Arlene."
A confession? Maybe If I co-operate with him I can get out of here.
The sack moved a little more, then strangled screams could be heard from the sack. Cameron sighed, turned the TV off and dumped the sack on the sofa. The sack struggled and lashed around. Cameron laughed and undid the sack. The sack opened to revile a boy with messy brown hair wearing a light blue shirt and light jeans. He had his hands were tied behind his back and his ankles where tied by the same kind of itchy rope that Piki had on. He was also barefoot and was bleeding a lot from his feet. He didn't have a blindfold on but his mouth was tied by a piece of fabric. They obviously didn't care if their victims found their hideout. Piki's eyes widened at the boy.
Oh my god…
"Surprised? I knew you would be."
Piki still couldn't believe her eyes.
Cameron carried the boy over to a chair and started to tie him to it. The whole time the two wouldn't take there eyes off each other. It was as if they where talking telepathically.
"And…Done. Have fun you two…with whatever fun you guys can have tied to a chair."
He sat back down on the sofa and turned on the TV.
What the hell do they want with him…?
Nellie walked along in the woods. Branches where scattered around. Logs looked like bears have toppled them over. The colour red painted this part of the forest. Ed must have come this way.
She stepped over a large piece of wood.
First Piki, now him… am I next?
She stopped and pulled the pendant from her pocket.
I wonder if he knows this is missing.
She looked down at her own trinket. It shimmered in the dappled sunlight that the trees let in. Nellie was going to make sure that she found her friends. She ran back to the campsite and dialled Ed's number.
If im lucky, their together…
Bring bring…
Bringbring….
"Hm..."
Cameron heard a small melody coming from the boy's pocket. He got up and pulled something out from it. A phone. The boy didn't take notice. He was asleep. The girl as well. He shrugged and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hello…" A girl's voice answered thee phone. She sounded nervous.
"Can I help you miss?"
"W-where are e-ed and P-Piki..."
Cameron smiled.
"Im sorry, that's classified info."
He hung up.
That must be their other friend from the campsite.
The last one.
He jumped onto the sofa and opened a candy bar wrapper.
Pity we won't need her, she sounded cute.
His smile spread from ear to ear and bit into his candy.
Tim said the fun begins tomorrow. I wonder what he means by that, the little pervert.
Whoa -.- that toke forever. I've been very busy. Cookies for people who guess the name of the song that quote was from :]
