Chapter Ten
The store was crowded with tons of people buying food for the week. Corbin and Kail grabbed carts and joined the girls.
"Can we hurry? I'm still hungry." Sara complained.
"Better than stuck in a cage." Sierra mumbled. Sara gave her an evil glare.
"I'm going to get samples while you guys shop." Sara said angrily.
"Wait up. You can't go alone." Callie called after her leaving Sierra, Melissa, Corbin, and Kail to shop for the food.
"How long until you think Sara will be kicked out for taking too many samples?" Corbin joked as the group wandered down the first aisle.
"Not long." Melissa joked with him.
"Some thing's wrong with you." Callie told Sara after she grabbed a Hot Pockets sample.
"It's not my fault, I'm afraid. Something's telling me something bad is going to happen and I don't want it to." Sara admitted.
"You think he, or any other of his people, will get you in a store this big?" Callie asked.
"Who knows?" Sara said finishing off her third sample. She reached for another one, but the sales lady slapped her hand and pointed for her to leave.
"Next one. What do you mean by who knows?" Callie asked.
"I mean he was able to freeze time with Sierra. Why couldn't he do it again?" Sara pointed out.
"I don't know." Callie responded.
"Exactly. Look! Hot dogs." Sara said spotting another food stand.
"Where is the bread?" Sierra said circling the store for the second time.
"I swear it has always been down aisle 5." Melissa remembered, or so she thought.
"Just ask an employee." Kail stated boardly. He hated shopping as much as any other guy.
"Fine," Sierra said grumpily," as soon as you find one."
"No one's moving anymore. What's going on?" Melissa wondered out loud.
"Don't eat all the hot dogs." Callie scolded Sara.
"Why she doesn't care," Sara pointed out, "she's just staring at the microwave."
"She's been staring at that for a while now." Callie pointed out.
"Oh well. Let's find another stand." Sara suggested. They turned around and a man was standing directly behind them.
"Holy Shit. Don't do that." Sara breathed.
"Don't worry about that, Sara. You have bigger problems," the man joked evilly.
"What the? How do you know my name?" Sara gapped at the man in front of her.
"Because my master sent me to get you and your sisters," the man explained.
"You're a Serent!" Callie exclaimed.
"No. Not again." Sara said backing up. Serent's appeared around them so they couldn't run away.
"Don't leave, stay," the Serent man joked. You guys! Help! Serent's are in the store! Callie thought quickly. We kind of figured that out! Where are you guys? Sierra responded. At the hot dog stand. Callie thought.
"We would love to stay, but we can't. Sorry…not." Sara responded rudely. The man didn't respond, but the other Serent's took hold of the two.
"Now, we will bring you to Martinial," the man said motioning for his men to follow.
"Hurry! We've got to find them!" Melissa yelled to the boys who decided to drag the carts along with them.
"Why? What if we missed them?" Corbin complained negatively.
"Then I know one person who will get mad at us for letting her get captured again." Melissa responded.
"So what. She can't get mad if we can't find them." Corbin pointed out.
"And if she can't she'll be angrier later." Sierra jumped in hoping to end the conversation. They reached the hot dog stand, and no one was there but the hot dog lady. Just then everything unfroze.
"I'm guessing they're not here anymore." Kail guessed because the people were all back to shopping and minding their own business.
"Great, now what?" Sierra huffed throwing a box of hot dogs in the cart.
"We have to wait until you guys fully develop your powers." Kail said sadly.
"Why?!" Melissa proclaimed.
"I think we'll make our final attack then." Kail explained his reason.
"Well I know one person, never mind, two people will be VERY mad." Sierra pointed out jokingly.
"Well let them be mad, but until you develop your powers, and your special powers." Kail told them again.
"Well let's check out and get back to your guy's house before they come back." Corbin suggested pushing his cart toward the check out. They all followed in silence, thinking about what is to come and everything that has happened in an extremely short amount of time.
Sara slammed her fists on the door. She was tired of the game he was playing.
"Sara, calm down. There is no way out of this room, no windows or vents to get out from. We just have to wait." Callie said calmly trying to calm Sara down.
"I know we're stuck! Why do you think I'm angry? I have the right to be angry. How many times have you been captured?" Sara yelled pacing the room angrily.
"Be angry. It's not going to help. Anger doesn't knock down doors." Callie pointed out giving up on calming Sara. Sara glared at her and sat down on the floor.
"What do you expect us to do? We can't just sit here and be bored. I've been bored way too much." Sara asked trying to calm herself.
"I don't know, meditate. Unless you know anything better to do." Callie suggested to Sara who groaned and leaned back against the wall.
"Great. Don't we all just love being bored?" Sara sarcastically mentioned.
"You're hilarious. At least there's a clock. Then we can figure out how long we've been here." Callie mentioned sarcastically back.
