I never realized just how much drama there could be between two sisters. Just this morning I was holding Alex trying to reassure her that Selena was okay, not the situation is switched around.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone off on her like that" Selena cried as I tried my best to comfort her.
"Selena, Alex is a very strong and determined girl, I'm sure she's fine. She can handle herself very well."
"No, I watched her be snatched. They tied her up and hauled her off and I couldn't get to him fast enough!"
"If only there was someway we could see where he went." I said thinking wishfully.
"That's it!" Selena exclaimed jumping up and running to the front of the bus.
"Where are you going?" I called to her.
"To get Alex back!" and with that she ran off the bus and to who knows where. I sighed to myself before turning to brent who was reading a magazine.
"You know. Sometimes I feel like I'm not even a part of the story anymore." I told him and he hummed in agreement as I made my way back to my bed.
Alex
I was exhausted from struggling and my throat was soar from all my screaming. It was no use. No one could hear me and he was too strong for me, but that didn't mean I was about to give up. My hair was plastered to my clammy forehead and I was practically coughing my lungs out. You know I probably could escape if my mind wasn't so cloggy and my body wasn't so weak. Okay Alex, think. I felt around with my tied up hands. I felt some sort of odd cloth. It felt familiar. It was stuffy in here, there was no air and I could hear some sort of hum like an engine. That's when it came to me. I was in a car trunk. I guess I was worse off than I thought if I can't think clearly enough to recognize something like that right away. Oh Selena, why didn't I listen? Yes I'll admit I was scared, but I didn't cry. I refused to let something like this get to me that much. I needed to stay strong, and show no fear. The screaming showed I was smart enough to try and alert anyone around me, so that couldn't be counted. I decided to try to do something about the rope that hand my hands bound so painfully. If I could get them undone, I can untie my feet and take this stupid bag off my head. I started struggling against the ropes when the car hit a bump. My body jerked slightly and a couple of unfamiliar items fell out of my sweater pocket. What the heck?
One was a small plastic peice that looked like it could be an SD card, but there was a blinking redlight on it. The other was a small pen. I decided to ignore that since it didn't seem of any importance, especially when the blinking red light turned to a green steady light. I heard static coming from it until a voice came through.
"Alex? Alex!? Can you hear me?" I felt my eyes go wide as I realized that it was Selena talking through the small device.
"Selena?" I asked quietly so that there was no chance of the people in the front listening. Though from how the shape of the trunk, I figured they had insilation so nothing could be heard inside or from out.
"Alex Thank God. Where are you? Are you hurt?"
"I don't know where I am. I'm in the trunk of a car I think. Most likely insulated and by the way it seems to be gliding over the road with a soft hum, it must be a chrysler."
"You got all that from the trunk?" I shrugged even though I knew she couldn't see it.
"I was the car buff in my mechanics class. Some rich snob brought in their chrysler and gave me a look under the hood."
"Wow, anyways, are you okay?"
"Yeah, except I think I'm running out of air. It's getting harder to breath and it's exremely" I was interrupted by a coughing fit before I could continue. " Extremely hot in here. Also my hands and feet are losing circulation because of how tight they tied me. Selena what's going on? Where did this transmitter thingy come from and why would these guys want me?"
"Alex listen to me. I can't tell you right now becasue it could increase your chances of being harmed any further. Earlier today when i caught you the second time, I placed this chip along with a small pen in your pocket. Do you have access to the pen?"
"Yeah, it's right in front of me. I can see the glint reflecting the light from the chip. "
"Okay, I want to to take it and unscrew the top. Theres a small sharp blade concealed in there, can you get it out?"
"I-I think so. Where the hell did you get a knife pen and chip like these?"
"Language! And it doesn't matter right now. All you need to know is what they are for. I need you to make sure this chip stays on you at all times so that I can track you and communicate. Although from now on you'll have to call me so that they don't discover it."
"How do I do that?"
"The light will be flashing red. There's a switch like the lock on an SD card, you flip it over and wait till the light is green. I have to go now, but I promise I'm not far off. I will get to you and get you out of there, I promise." I couldn't help remembering her promise to keep in touch with me.
"Okay." I said deciding it was best to trust her.
"I love you Alex" She told me. I felt my eyes start to water. She's never told me that before.
"I love you too" I told her and soon the light went back to red. I rolled over so that I rolled right over the pen and chip and was able to be on the other side. I reached my hands out as far as I could till I felt the cool smooth surface of the pen. After about 4 or 5 tries, I was finally able to pick it up. I used on hand to hold it while the other unscrewed the top. Soon the top came off and I started sawing at the ropes when we went over another bump. My tounge started to bleed from how hard I had bit it trying to bite back a cry in pain. The knife had cut my wrist and from the way it felt, it was probably deep. I just had to pray I didn't get the vain. I sucked in a breath and went back to work. Finally the ropes came off and I started working on my feet ignoring the blood pouring from the cut. I removed the bag from my head and then heard the engine stop. I immediately placed the ropes over my ankles to look like they were still tied and hid the other ropes in my sweater pocket. I recapped the knife/pen and put that in my pocket and slipped the chip into my shoe. I heard the car doors slam shut signaling they were getting out. I put my hands behind my back a split second before the trunk door open and I squinted slightly at the light being let in.
"Hey, how'd she get the bag off?" one of the three men before me said sounding pretty stupid.
"She probably shook it loose." The one in the middle told him. Something about these men seemed familiar. I know I've seen them somewhere before. The shortest one started to reach for me, but once he was close enough I kicked him as hard as I could in the face. The man with my converse now imprinted in his face fell back as the other two jumped back in surprise. I took this oppertunity to jump out of the car. I almost fell over from my lack of strength, but I was barely able to catch myself and run as fast as I could. We were in an empty lot behind some old building. I ran towards the building and turned the corner to find myself in a city. I looked behind me to see the men tripping over each other trying to get to me so I continued on getting myself lost in the multitude of people surrounding the area. People didn't seem to notice my dishelved appearance as I pushed myself through the crowds. I took a few random turns and I finally lost them. I found myself at some park, children played while their mothers sat on benches or pushed their kid on the swings. I walked clear to the other side of the park and sat down knowing if I stood any longer I might pass out. The park started to clear out as it soon became evening. One mother was left. She went and got her child from the top of the play equipment before she spotted me. She walked to where I was sitting, her little boy on her hip.
"Hey, you okay? You don't look so good"
"I" Was all I got out before my world went black.
