Hello everyone,

First off I feel like Chapter 9 was a little rushed and squished. I might rewrite that chapter in the near future. Second Thank you for reviewing and all of you input. I really appreciate them all.

Chapter 10

Fred's POV

This was killing me right now, I could see Daphne as clear as day trapped in a room. Her eyes were wide with fear and body seemed to be shaking from it.I banged on the glass screen hoping, she'd look up and see my face. If she saw it those tears would stop falling. I looked at the door it was now or never. This guy had big plans for Daphne and I have a bad feeling about them.

I looked around the room, okay I need something to open the door and defend myself. I walked over and grabbed some belts, perfume, makeup (Daph always finds ways to make it work, so can I, and pens. While grabbing the pens I saw some letters sticking out. They had his handwriting on them. They were all addressed Daphne too in the same red ink.

I clenched my fist; he was done messing with her. I walked over to the door and opened it. There was a big guard in front of it. He had short brown hair and I swear the guy could eat me. I gulped and looked at the guy "Hey um I really got to go to the bathroom. I also don't see any toilets in here."I then whispered "It's kind of an emergency I had a lot of soda today."

The guy just grunted and grabbed my arm. "Yea, there's one a few doors down." I smiled "Great! Could you show me which door?" he sighed "I'm going to take you there" He started pulling me out of the room.

The banquet hall was empty except a few people were running around decorating it. Where is the rest of the gang I thought. We got to the men's room "Thanks! Hopefully I won't be too long."

I walked into the bathroom. I have five minutes at the most to to self don't say I won't be too long again it makes me look suspicious. I looked up at the ceiling tiles and spotted a vent. I went into a stall and stood on top of a toilet seat. I started to push against the tile till it budged. I moved the tile and lifted myself up into the ceiling.

Another note to self I need to work out more or have less dessert. Fred started to army crawl through the ducts looking for any signs of his friends. Every vent he passed he took a peek. Using his cellphone as a light to guide his way. He passed a laboratory, the banquet, the room where he was held prisoner in, some hallway, and two bedrooms.

He sighed they weren't anywhere. Then when he turned the corner he heard voices. That big guard was talking to another guard" That Fred Jones escaped boss won't be happy." "Mitch just patted his shoulder "Don't worry the boss is too occupied with the wedding and has her hidden well. Some place where she could get ready in peace. "

The other guard sighed "Good I'm just going to stand out her old room. Let me know when we're supposed to get ready". I felt my heart sinking into my chest. A wedding, A WEDDING! He was going to marry her but Daphne would never agree. Unless there was a certain condtion.I bit my tongue trying to not make any noise and get caught. Daphne was going to get married to some creep. That's not how it's meant to be. I quickened my pace I'm running out of time. I was so distracted I didn't see the weak duct.

I heard a crunch and felt the floor give under neath me. I stated to fall and closed my eyes bracing for a rough impact. Instead I landed on something soft.

Shaggy's POV

Like Zoinks these cameras are making my head hurt. Now I know what the poor mouse feels like when he's looking for his cheese. I heard somebody come up behind. Gahh Scoob you scared me. "Rorry Raggy" I patted his head "its okay Scoob"

We sat there staring at the cameras looking for anything. Fred appeared being led by a guard to the bathroom. Sorry Fred but I need to help Velma. I also spotted he had belts in his back pocket. Good at least Fred has a plan.

I looked at a lab and saw Velma was there. Some big guy was talking to her. Why are these things sound proof? That guy is laughing at her, poor Velma she's in trouble. Huh Velma's stance relaxed and isn't as tense. What's going on here? "Raggy look"Scooby was pointing to another monitor there was a guy with a mask. He had Daphne in his grasp. She must've been giving him attitude he doesn't look very happy.

He has a dart of some type and just grabbed her neck. Uh oh "This is bad Scoob" I said while scratching my beard and watched two guys take her away. They put her in some room and are now guarding the outside of it. I went back to the camera that was on Velma. She was sitting there talking to the guy; he looked like he was crying okay. I took note of the room.

I got up to leave but noticed Daphne was now looking scared in a different room. But that can't be she's unconscious in the other room which is guarded. There are two Daphnes?! Scooby just shrugged "Like come on Scoob we have no time to lose."

I got up and ran toward the door. Of course when I open it there's a big scary guy there. I just looked at Scoob and it seemed we had the same idea. I did what all cowards ! We ran out the door and back into the banquet hall. Another guard spotted us and joined in the chase. We ran in an open door and saw a long ran down the hall not looking back at who could be following us. Maybe this was the hall Velma was in. We ran up to a door and closed room was dark but we saw a light peeking through. We got closer to the light and saw a bed was purple and looked kinda like Daphne's at head quarters.

I saw a red head sitting on the bed sniffling. This has to be Daphne. "On the count of three Scoob"I whisphered. "One,two,three" We jumped on top of Daphne to give her a knocked her off the bed by accident."

Sorry Daph you know how Scoob gets" Daphne just stared at us with big eyes wet from crying. She stood up and shoved us into the looked the closet. Like what was going on,I was just about to bang when a piece of paper came from her side. I bent down to pick it up.I unfolded the paper and just looked at Scoob. "Scooby " I whispered "Rea" . "Thing are about to get like a whole lot weirder now."

Velma's POV

I stared at Mith's hand debating whether to shake it or somebody come up a lie like that your girlfriend is being held hostage. I don't have anything else to go I shake his hand nervously, he has a strong let go and walked across to the other side of the room. I began to nibble on the chocolate he gave didn't seem to be poisonous.

"So what's with the lab?" Mitch turned around and sighed. "Well the Master wants to use it for research." I started choking on the chocolate. "What research? Why would someone research Daphne?" He shook his head sadly "That's the thing he wanted to make sure she was still the same girl he remembered." So Daphne knew this person at one point in her life?

This actually makes sense why she was she know what he was capable of and that's why she left hints? This also explains why she seemed worried about going to the banquet.I made a note of that and got up off the chair and walked around. I went over and poked his shoulder "Um is there anyway you could help me find Daphne?" crosses fingers. "No, that would be going against orders." I frowned "Is there any way you could help me find my friends?"

He sighed "That too would be against orders." I sighed "Last question" He raised his eye brow at me. "Is there a camera room where I could watch my friends and make sure they're okay?" I said with pleading eyes hoping that this would work. He opened his mouth to speak but shut it rather quickly. He then made a gulping noise "Yes, But I don't know if "He stopped and looked around before continuing "I could take you there with out being seen."

My smile faded "You could always take me there as a prisoner." Where did that idea come from? "Well"he said while scratching his chin "That could work" I smiled "Great!" Mitch grabbed my arm "It's just an act but if I hurt you let me know" he led me out the room into the big banquet hall. I saw they were decorating the room with flowers "For the reception"he whispered in my ear.

Reception? What reception?He must've saw my confused face "The Master and are to be married" I stopped in shock as he grabbed my arm and led me into a control room. I was biting my tongue to not freak out.I have to warn Fred and Shaggy.I have to help control room had all these different screens in them. I saw a paw print on the one.

Scooby must've been here I sat down on the chair in front of the one monitor "Yes, the Master has it all planned." I looked at the screen and saw Daphne sleeping on a bed in the one room. I couldn't find Fred or Shaggy. "What can we do?" He just laughed "I must follow orders to protect my sweetheart. You on the other hand must not be seen." I put my hand on my hips "Why not my friends need me!"

He just looked at me with sad eyes "Because you'll be safe this way if the Master knew you were here." He looked down at his shoes "He'd use to hurt your friend." I went over and patted his shoulder for a big tough guy he really was a teddy bear. "Okay I'll just stay here then" I forced a smile to hide the reality that it was hopeless to do anything now. I looked at the screen and for a second I thought Shaggy ran across Mitch's watch went off "Okay I'll be on the look out" He got up and walked over to the monitors. "Your friends have been spotted" Uh oh "What do we do?" He sat me down on the chair "You do nothing but stay here and out of sight." I opened my mouth to speak "But" He put his finger to my lips "No buts you'll thank me for this later."

The Master's POV

If I have to keep drugging her she'll hate me forever. I sighed and looked down at the sleeping angel in my arms. She looked do peaceful while sleeping. I brushed some her red hair away from her face. I adjusted her so I could carry her bridal style.I chuckled doesn't hurt to practice. I walked down the hall and put her in a special room was purple and filled with everything she needs to get ready for her special day. Tomorrow at noon would be here before he knew it. He laid her in the bed and tucked the covers around her. He put a light kiss on her forehead and whispered" Good night Daphne." I closed the door and turned to the guards "No one except for me is allowed in there."They nodded their heads and took their positions. A few minutes later my watch started beeping and one of my henchmen appeared on it. "Sir we have a problem" I groaned "What?" I glared at my watch,must something always go wrong."Fred Jones and Shaggy have escaped" I stopped and slammed my fist into the wall. "Well go find them!" I said with a vemon tone, Fred was always ruining everything. "Sir we spotted Shaggy and he's being chased but no sign of Jones." I growled "Well find him then!" I turned off my watch and walked into my room. I slammed my door shut the sound echoed through out the hall.

Since Daphne was out of it I figured we could look into this so called Master's mind.I hope you all enjoyed this latest installment in A Night to Remember. Please Review!
