BETTER TOGETHER

Chapter 7

Hello again! Sorry for the late chapter but as I mentioned I had an exam. If you are interested I think I will pass it! Anyway, here's the new part and thanks you guys for reading my story.

Enjoy!

Thor woke up in a dark, tiny place and with his hands tied. He looked around, but only he could see was Justin, lying next to him.

"Hey, Justin! Wake up!" whispered Thor and kicked the other boy lightly.

"Ahhh… What?" asked Justin as he became conscious again. "Where are we?"

"I have no idea, my friend. It's all dark" answered Thor.

"What the hell is going on? How did we get here? And why are we tied up?" asked Justin with worry and anger in his voice.

"I don't know, but we have to try to untie our hands" said Thor as he was trying to spread-eagle his hands. "I think I almost got it"

Then, suddenly a door opened, the place was fulled with light and a man stepped in.

"Who are you?" asked Thor, squinting.

"Your worst nightmare" answered the mysterious person and grabbed Thor's tied arms, then pulled him out of the place.

"Hey what are you doing?" shouted Justin but the instead of any answer the door was shut and Justin was left in the darkness.

"Are you sure you wanna do this?" asked Sydney seriously.

"I am a hundred percent sure" answered Loki with a mischievous smile.

"Alright" Sydney shrugged and started to make cart wheels.

Cole counted them loudly. "One… Two… Three…"

In the meantime Loki's smile started to fade.

"And FIVE! Wow Sydney, you didn't forget anything." Said Cole enthusiastically.

"Wait… What do you mean she didn't forget anything?" asked Loki.

"Oh, she used to do gymnastics. Sydney was very talented, but she finished it. I thought you knew that" answered Cole.

"No I didn't. In case, I had no idea! So, this way it was not fair!"

"Woah… Wait a minute! We made a deal, you can't just break it!" said Sydney angrily.

"Really? Then you should have told me that you are trained to do cart wheels!"

"What would be the fun then?" asked Sydney cunningly.

"Wait! You know what? I have a great idea!" said Cole unexpectedly to break the debate.

Loki and Sydney turned to Cole with a questioning look.

"The deal was that if you win Sydney, Lukas should attend the competition and if Lukas wins you should participate right?"

The other two nodded.

"Then, since Sydney cheated …"

"Hey!" Sydney interrupted.

"Just wait for it. So since there was a… a misunderstanding, you should sign up for the contest together!" finished his speech Cole proudly.

"What? NO way!" said Sydney.

"I have to agree with the cheater. Are you out of your mind?"

"So don't like the idea…"asked Cole with a scared look.

"Well, no we don't." said Loki.

"Alright… then we have a problem… I have already sign you guys up for it…" said Cole with a shy smile.

"WHAT?"

Justin had been trying to rescue himself for almost 3 hours, when finally the rope started to loosen.

Yes! That's it, come on! He thought. Eventually, he freed himself and started to search for any escape. Since it was all dark he could only finger the walls. He reached the place where the door should be. He found the door handle but of course the exit was closed.

Okay Justin… What now? He stepped back as far as he could and ran to the door but it didn't open up. He stepped back and tried again a few times, until the door fell out from its place with Justin on it.

The boy jumped up and looked around. The place looked like a warehouse. It was abandoned and the place rest in silence. Great, then nobody is here….easier to escape!

The boy started to run and searched for any exit. Finally, he found a door and when he went through it, he found himself in the middle of nowhere.

Okay I have to find the police! But what if the man kill Tim by the time the police arrive?... Or just end him because I warned the police... No, there gonna be another way… Lukas!

Justin started to run again. After a long and exhausting run, he found an abandoned place and finally a public phone. He grabbed the device and dialled the number of his school.

Loki and Sydney had been arguing with Gracie for over an hour.

"I don't get it! Why can't you just cross our names from the list?" asked Sydney with temper.

"I told you! I have already given the list to Miss Stacey, the main organiser. I can't change anything now…" Gracie explained in a low voice.

"But we did not want to participate, only Cole made a mistake!" said Loki.

"A big one!" added Sydney as she gave a lethal look to Cole. Cole just wished he was dead.

"Listen…" started Loki but he couldn't finish.

"Attention please! Lukas Parker is wanted in the principal's office! Lukas Parker is wanted in the principal's office!" they could hear the speakers.

"What have you done?" asked Sydney but Loki had no idea what this was about.

"I have to go, I guess…" said Loki and left the little group.

He walked through the corridors and walked up on the stairs then he reached the office. He heard a lot about this office. The others told him that the principal is cruel and who once step into this room never leaves it. Of course he didn't believe in these gossips but he started to feel uncomfortable as he knocked on the door.

"Come in!" a voice called him.

Loki open the door and stepped in.

"Good afternoon Sir. I was called…" said Loki.

"Yes, Mr Parker. You have a phone call" answered the principal and handed out the receiver he was holding. Loki stepped forward and accepted the device.

"Hello?" Loki called.

"Oh thank GOD Lukas! Listen! Tim and I were kidnapped and…" he could hear Justin's frustrated voice on the other end of the call.

"Wait? What?" asked Loki. "Who kidnapped you? And why?"

"I don't know. The last thing I can remember is that Tim and I were talking then everything is blank…"

"I see… Where are you now?"

"I have no idea…In the middle of nowhere."

"And where is Tim? Is he with you? Can I talk to him?" asked Loki.

"I think that would be a little bit hard, since only I could escape…"

"What? Oh God…"

"Listen Lukas… I didn't contact the police… I think it would risk Tim's life…"

"Right, nice thought…Okay. Justin, I have an idea how I can get there but it may take some time… Try to get into somewhere safe and I make a plan"

"Okay, but Lukas…"

"Yes?"

"Hurry…"

And then the call ended. Loki stood, shocked. What now? He could teleport there by his magic but he didn't know where…And Thor…In addition, he was alone, and Justin was right. It would be better not to contact the authorities. He could only think of two friends and he hoped they would help…

He nodded then turn and gave the receiver back to the principal.

"Could you tell me what was this phonecall about, Mr Parker?"

"Oh…Well" started Loki "It is a long story…" he said and the left the office.

Now, let's find Sydney and Cole. He thought and began to run.

O
