~Mara's POV: I can't believe there's actually a spy amongst us, I hoped it was just a mistake, but when Nina said Jerome knew, I realised it had to be true. I left the table immediately and Mick swiftly followed, he followed me up to my room as I was getting my bag for school.
"Mars there's something I need to tell you." Mick said worryingly
"Yea" I mumbled
"Me and Joy are the spies"
"WHAT!"
"Mars I haven't done anything I was going to help them I agreed with Joy but that was before I realised it was the wrong choice."
"I've got to go and tell the others"
"No Mara, you can't"
~Joys POV: I peered around the door to our room I saw Mick and Mara, I stayed a little longer to see what they were saying as soon as Mick told Mara who we were, I texted Rufus. Mick is going to help me whether he likes it or not. Suddenly, I received a reply from Rufus; I'll deal with the girl. A smile appeared on my face I, left the house and went to wait for Rufus in the forest.
~Mick's POV: I was trying to plead with Mara, she couldn't tell the others, they wouldn't trust me, and before I knew it she ran out of her room and ran down the stairs. I followed right behind her, she was running as fast as she could up to the school, then a man jumped out and grabbed her around the waist, bringing something to her mouth and nose, he slowly dragged her into the forest.
"No!" I screamed attempting to follow, but found my path blocked by Joy.
"Now Mick if you help me you will get your little girlfriend back in one piece, but in order to do that, you have to promise me that you will help me to keep Jerome locked up, it'll slowly kill Alfie and Patricia, Amber will feel sorry for Alfie and Fabian will realise that Nina is mad for not letting Sibuna help Jerome." Joy said with a cold tone.
"No I don't have to do what you say!"
"You do if you want Mara back, or Rufus may have to hurt her."
"No, don't not Mara, I'll promise I'll help you just don't hurt Mara."
"Good, don't tell anyone about this little chat" and with that Joy left.
~Jerome's POV: I was trying to come to terms on why Joy, would sabotage Sibuna, it just didn't add up. As I was thinking I heard a car pulled up outside, heard the door unlock and then heard Rufus's cold tone, "I've brought you a little friend Jerome"
I suddenly felt a figure being thrown on top of me, I didn't know who it was because of the blindfold, I winced in pain as the figure landed on me.
"You better hope your friends give me what I want soon or it'll be the end of you" Rufus reminded me.
~Mara's POV: I felt tired and warn out I was laying on something uncomfortable, I remembered Mick and Joy and Rufus! My eyes suddenly flew open, I saw someone next to me, it looked familiar and I realised it was Jerome; I took off his gag and blindfold and embraced him in a hug.
"Mara, what are you doing here?" Jerome half asked in curiosity and anger
"Rufus kidnapped me" I said "No kidding" I heard him mumble.
Now that I got a better look at him close up he looked terrible like he hadn't eaten anything for ages, he was more pale than usual and his smile was wiped off his face.
"Jerome you look horrible"
"I know"
"How long since you ate anything?" I asked
"Since he kidnapped me" he replied
I started undoing the not tying his hands but he yelped in pain, I looked at his wrist and it was all bruised it looked bad and probably broken, he told me to leave them so if Rufus came back they could pretend nothing happened.
I put my head on Jerome's shoulder, I felt so sorry for him, it just added to the misery of his past, I can't believe it of Joy being a spy and certainly Mick, how could this have happened!
