Chapter 11

Waiting for Rescue

Sam's POV

"What's your deal, Scam?" I growled.

"You're much too smart to be working with those girls and you interest me." Those words. He said that about Seekers.

"I'm not going along with your plan! Whatever it is." I frowned.

"Sam, you haven't even heard it." He tsked.

"I don't wanna." I pouted.

"Maybe some alone time will change your mind." Tim closed the door. I slumped in my chair. There wasn't much else to do.

Jerry's POV

"Now, Dante tells me that no one knows if a tracker could stay on a Titan if it goes back in its Amulet." I winced.

"What? That's not fair! We were so close." Clover yelled.

"We have to find her. Scam could be torturing her!" Alex sniffed.

"I don't like it as much as you do, but we need time to find since she lost her Compowder." I frowned.

They deflated.

Sam's POV

Days later

"Sam." The word was sharp.

I tried to attack Tim but he was too fast. He kicked me in the back, "Ah!" I landed on the floor.

He pinned me down, "Nice try, but not quite. Almost caught me off guard." I snarled. He let me up.

His Gareon hissed at me, "Gareon, it's ok." He didn't like me.

He put his hand on my shoulder and led me back to my cell. He didn't want me to become weak while I was here. I walked in and sat in the chair. But he didn't leave like usual. He came in. I didn't like it. Tim walked up to me and held my chin. He smirked before he kissed me. This used to be my dream, but it feels so wrong. He pulled away and frowned. I waited anxiously. He left. I curled up on the bed.

It was a long time after he kissed me that he accidently left his phone out in front of me so I called Clover.

"Clover, it's me! Sam, don't hang up!" I whispered.

"Sam! We're so worried. Alex, it's Sam!" She called.

"Sam?!" She ran to the Clover.

"Have Jerry trace the call. I don't know where I am. He doesn't let me outside." I instructed.

"Right, right." She called him.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"Hi, Jerry. Can you trace my call?" I said.

"Sam?" He gasped. I think he was teary eyed.

"I'm ok. But I don't know how long I have to talk." I stressed.

"I'm on it. We tried to find you, but we had no luck." He talked.

"Yeah. Dante and the Foundation even helped." Alex said.

"I miss you so much." I sniffed.

"Don't cry. We'll get you back home." Clover declared.

"It says you're in Russia. I need a few more seconds to find exactly where." Jerry reported.

"But we looked in Russia!" Alex cried.

"It doesn't matter now. I have the location now." He announced.

"We got it. Don't worry, Sam. We're-" Clover's sentence was cut off as Gareon blasted the phone out of my hand.

"Who did you call?" Tim frowned.

"No one." I lied.

"Don't lie to me!" He snarled. I flinched, "Who was it?"

"Cl-Clover…" I whimpered.

"Sam! Oh my god, don't you dare hurt her, Scam!" Clover yelled.

"Boltflare!" He distorted the phone with the power he always wanted. I gluped.

Clover's POV

"We have to go now! Scam learned Boltflare! He's really mad." I shouted.

"Clover, please stop yelling. You need gadgets first and you're not going alone. We're bringing back up." Jerry gave us some weapons and we got on the jet.

"I hope Sam's ok." Alex said.

Sam's POV

I dodged his kick and landed in a crouch. Gareon almost got me with his eye beams, but missed.

"I didn't want it to be this way, Sam." Tim told me as he attacked.

"Then how did you want it?" I retaliated.

"I wanted to be with you." He growled.

"I wanted to be with you too, but I realized you wouldn't change!" I shouted.

He didn't say anything and continued to fight. We locked in combat. I was better at powers, he was better at hand to hand. I was getting tired. I couldn't keep this pace anymore. I caught a punch to the gut. I stumbled.

"Scam!" Clover yelled as she crashed through the window. She was ready to fight the second she landed and launched herself at Tim.

Alex went to me, "Are you ok?"

"I'm tired." I used Everfight.

Gareon snuck up on Clover and was about to shoot, "Clover!"

She ducked and punched the floating lizard. He squeaked as he was sent back to his amulet. Tim was weakened now. But he still fought viciously. I never had seen him like this. None of us had.

"Dragonfist!" Clover aimed her punch and broke Tim's leg.

"Ah!" He cried out and fell to the ground.

"You're under arrest, Timothy." Jerry said as he called for a stretcher.

"Don't worry, Zhalia made WOOPH escape proof." Alex reassured me.

Later

"Sam!" Lok hugged me. The room was decorated with balloons and steamers. There was a snack table on the side.

"Hey, Lok." I patted his back.

"It's good to have you back." Dante told me.

"Thanks." I smiled.

"What are you going to do now?" Sophie asked.

"I don't entirely know. My teachers know I went missing for a month. I can't believe it was a month." I picked up some snacks and put it on my plate.

"We couldn't really hide that. Not in the middle of the year." Clover said.

"I know, it's just weird." I agreed.

"Let's enjoy the party, now, ok?" Alex smiled.

"Totally." I beamed.
