I have 6 reviews now. Keep reviewing for more chapters.
FlashBack
I was about to say the spell when I heard a noise from inside his room. I dropped my book and burst through the door.
Who I saw inside, was a total shock.
"Jesse!" I screamed immediately running up to him. I probably caught him off guard because I was able to tie him to a chair. I breathed heavily, surprised he hadn't broken free.
'He's probably just going to mess with me.' I thought.
"Where's Ethan?" I asked, loud enough to make a point, but not loud enough to get any unwanted attention from Ethan's parents. Jesse laughed and leaned his head back.
"You're wasting your time trying to find him." he teased.
"Where's Ethan. Wait, you didn't…" I asked shocked by what I thought the answer was.
"Oh, no. He's alive. But not for long. He's just, reaching high, you might say." I knew he was trying to get in my head. It was working.
"I got to go make sure your nerd friend doesn't die yet, see you soon." Jesse said and within a flash he was gone, only leaving behind Ethan's phone. A new text message from Jesse's phone said, 'You're not going to find me!'
I screamed inside my head and threw the phone on the ground. Then I got a text message from Sarah.
'No luck. Where are you? Did you do the spell?' I replied,
'Ethan's house, yes, and you will not believe who I just ran into.'
Jesse POV
I had a good laugh. I couldn't stop laughing until I got to the tree. Ethan was on the ground. I thought he would have gotten up and walked off if he had gotten out of the tree. But then I realized, he wasn't moving.
'Awwww, if he's dead, I'll be so mad! Then I can't do my plan!' I thought. I went up to him and listened for a heartbeat. It was there, small, but it was there.
Okay, still a shot at my plan.
I can't do this very well if he's all broken and stuff. I decided to mend him; he probably had a couple of broken bones, bruises more than likely. I could fix that stuff.
I had to think of a new spot to hide. Well, I guess I'm going to have to back to the cave. Benny and Rory already went, and they probably won't go back. Knowing Sarah, she won't look there.
I took Ethan back to the cave and sat him down at the edge of the far hole. Four pairs of footprints were there.
'Wow, Benny and Rory, Sarah and…' Can't be Erica, she hates Ethan. But she cares for Sarah.
"Yup, it's her." I said out loud. Ethan groaned. I looked down at him and took him inside the cave.
Sarah POV
"Jesse was here! Why didn't you tell me! Why did you let him go? I could have helped interrogate him to find Ethan!" I screamed at Benny. Mainly because I was mad but partly because I was shocked.
"I, I'm sorry Benny. I didn't mean to yell at you. So what did Jesse say exactly?" I asked. Benny told me the whole conversation.
"Reaching high?" I asked.
"I don't know what that means, if it did mean anything at all." Benny said. He was thinking so hard I could almost see the gears turning.
"What if it means he was high up?" I said, pulling Benny out of his thoughts.
'Well, where's a high…" I cut him off.
"The woods!" I screamed running outside the door.
"Wait!" Benny screamed grabbing my arm.
"Let go Benny, we need to get Ethan!" I screamed at him. Outraged by how selfish he was.
"Sarah, running towards the woods without a plan is like going there blind with a chicken as a weapon. We need a plan." I sighed and he released the grip on my arm.
"Okay, what's the plan?"
Ethan POV
The first thing I realized was the pain moving through my body.
The second thing was that I was back in the cave.
The third thing was that I was alone.
The fourth thing was that I was gagged and tied up.
Great.
'Where's Jesse?' I wondered. Then I felt a sharp pain in my arm. I tried to scream but the gag held it in.
"Calm down, I trying to help you." I heard a voice say. I flicked my head around to find an elderly man sticking a needle in my arm.
"Let me help you get untied okay?" He asked. I nodded. He took the gag out of my mouth and untied me.
"Are you okay?" He asked me. I tried to tell him, but my throat was so dry, I couldn't. I pointed down at my throat.
"Can't talk? Can you show me where the pain is?" He asked, while putting a band aid around my arm where he put the needle in. I pointed down at my left leg, my head, and my right side.
"Broken, bruised, or cut?" He asked me. I signaled all of the choices.
"Do you know what happened?" He asked me. I tried to explain that I fell out of the tree.
"Can you tell me where you live?" He asked. I wondered if I should tell him. Or maybe it was a trap. I had to get home so I had to trust this man. I pointed out of the cave towards where my house is.
"Okay, I'm going to take you to a hospital to get medical help. They will help you." I shook my head no furiously. The old man picked me up and took me to his car parked not far from the cave.
He was pretty strong for an old man. He set me in the backseat of his car and wrapped me in blankets. He got in the front of the car and stated driving.
"Would you like some soup? It's fresh." I nodded, just realizing how hungry I was. The old man gave me a cup that had soup in it. I smelled so good. Tasted even better. I started to get tired. My last thought was,
'He drugged me.'
Jesse POV
It was a nice plan.
Step 1: Hire some old man to persuade Ethan to get in his car to take him to a new spot. I couldn't take him anywhere without drawing attention.
Step 2: The old man gives Ethan soup with sleeping medicine in it. He's going to be out for the next 24 hours.
Step 3: Hide him in new spot.
It was an excellent plan.
Sarah POV
6 pairs of footprints. 4 were ours. Who were the other two? Jesse and Ethan!
"They were here." I said.
"How come you don't seem happy? We found a lead!" Benny screamed at me.
"They WERE here!" I screamed back.
"Well then let's follow the footprints!" He yelled like it was the most obvious thing in the world. I calmed down.
"Sorry." I said, following the footprints.
"Great, the footprints stopped. Jesse must have flown him!" I screamed at Benny.
"They got in a car! Are you that blind?" He half screamed half asked. I looked down and for the first time noticed the tire tracks. Man, I am off today!
"I'm sorry." I said, and I meant it.
"It's okay. Let's follow them, okay?" He asked.
"Okay, ready when you are." I said and we started following the tire tracks. After about 15 minutes, we reached the town, and the road.
"Great where'd they go? Now we can't follow the tire tracks because we can't see them because they aren't there!" I screamed and started pacing.
"Sarah. Sarah? Sarah!" Benny said, asked, and screamed at me. I looked at him and stopped pacing.
"The tire tracks are facing to the right. So they went right." Benny said, as if explaining to a baby.
"The only thing that's out there is the hospital. Why would they go there?" I asked, hopelessly confused.
"Maybe he got hurt and they went to the hospital. Or maybe they are hiding in it." Benny said.
"Okay, let's go!"
