Sorry for the delay. I had really bad writer's block with the beginning of this chapter, and so in that spare time... I planned out the rest of Dreams! It will be 40 chapters, similar to my other stories... and definitely will have twists and turns! After the finale of Dreams, Legend Part 2 will hopefully be released!

Enjoy this chappie. You won't wanna miss it...

Carter POV

Where the heck was Ray?

She mentioned a callback for a musical, but I hadn't seen her come back to the TC house in hours.

I overheard a few voices coming from the entryway. Being sneaky, I tiptoed out of my room and peeked down from upstairs without letting anyone see me. Upon finding Mitch, Adam, Jason, and Quentin near the front door, I realized they were planning something devious or careful… but all I knew was that I needed to be part of it.

"Draco!" Mitch yelled, his hands curling up into fists, "He's always had it out for Ray! There's definitely something wrong! Who's gonna come with me to find her?!"

Jason bit on the crust of his pizza, Quentin twiddled his thumbs, and Adam looked off into thin air, obviously all ignoring Mitch. I rolled my eyes, knowing this behavior was expected from that group of boys. All I thought at that moment… where was Jerome…?

Adam let out a cough, making Jason and I become startled (A/N: Jason I'm startled), "We have to do something else at the moment."

"Like what?!" Mitch got into Adam's face, furious. "What could be so important that you can't help me?!"

Adam bit his lip and glared at his feet, ashamed. "We have to rescue Fia from Ashley and Allison."

Mitch nervously chuckled and walked away from the other boys, scratching the back of his neck. "Okay. That's a good excuse. But who will help?"

I spotted Preston from the corner of my eye. Noticing him nearing the stairwell, I leapt onto my hands and knees and crawled into a small corner, hoping that he wouldn't find me spying. When Ray's brother reached the top step, I held in my breath and shut my eyes, waiting for him to catch me.

"I knew this would happen." Preston eventually begun talking, taking quick steps upon the stairs. "Lia called me earlier this week. She said bad things would happen… and Draco would be a cause." Preston's feet reached the bottom floor, and he hurried over the men. This allowed me to open my eyes and release my breath. "I didn't think he would hijack Ray's tour bus… but… but… I'm gonna help you Mitch. And my friend Rouge is too."

Adam chuckled. "Why do people keep on showing up from everywhere in the house?" Mitch gave him a look. Ray told me about that… and how her husband would give other guys looks if they ever tried to flirt with her. Noticing Mitch's actions, Adam put his arms up in surrender, one holding a cell phone, most likely his own.

"Maybe we should get on our separate ways, Adam, and save our damsels in distress. Don't you think?" Mitch forcefully patted Adam on his back.

Adam burst out laughing, holding his hand to his stomach. It was one of those fake laughs though. Adam did fake laughs when he was in a time of danger. Mitch seemed angry then and there. Not the right place or the right time. "Mitch. Fia and Ray wouldn't like being called damsels in distress, but you're right. We need to do this as soon as possible. Jason. Quentin. Let's head out."

"Okay!" Jason shoved pizza in his mouth, causing Quentin's face to turn bright red.

The boys walked to the front door. Preston and Mitch whispered something to each other, and allowed Adam to open the door for them. I watched all of them all exit and the door closed when Adam glimpsed into my frightened eyes.

Ray POV

It felt like hours had passed before something actually happened. At least I hadn't felt the need to use the restroom yet… Rose asked quite politely and got rejected immediately. Complete and utter sympathy for her.

At the least expected time, my pocket buzzed. It wasn't a very loud buzz, but another person close enough would hear it.

"Damn," I thought to myself. Instantly realizing it was my cell phone, I thought of something clever to cover up the buzz. Finally, I begun humming the tune to Laurel's song aloud.

Luckily, Draco turned his back, allowing me to hastily move my hands to a position where I could pull out my phone. Since only my wrists were tied, my phone slid out of my jean pocket. Noticing it was Carter and she always needed an answer, I couldn't do anything but respond. I touched the screen to answer the call.

Lifting my phone up to my ear and glancing away from Tiff and Draco, I quickly whispered, "Carter... I'm busy right now… please don't call back…"

Someone cleared their throat, causing me to force my head up. Draco stood in front of me, his right hand out, and an evil grin on his lips. My whole body shook furiously, but I figured that it was either try to make a run for it… or give Draco the phone. As I knew that I would never get away because I was the main target, I sighed, handing over my cell phone. Draco wrapped his hand around mine and held onto it for a few seconds. Glancing back up into his eyes, he picked up my phone with two fingers and placed it into Tiff's welcoming hands. Tiff stuffed my phone into the pocket of her jacket and smirked.

Then it hit me: did Tiff hang up the call from Carter?! What would happen if my captor didn't?! Would my friend try to find me? Would she tell Mitch to find me?

"This isn't right, Lizzy," I heard Maggie whisper to Elizabeth or Lizzy, who was surely her friend.

"Yeah, Maggie, we should try to get outta here," Lizzy replied, glancing around, mostly towards Draco.

Lizzy and Maggie leapt to their feet and made a mad dash for the stairs of the bus. Unfortunately, they were instantly blocked by Tiff and Draco. Rose, Clara, and I sat on the benches, staring at the duo trying to find their way off the vehicle. Every direction they turned, the girls' faces tensed more and more. I noticed a couple tears fall down Maggie's face, which made me cry a few as well. Draco then caught the girls in their tracks, allowing Tiff escort to them back to their seats.

As soon as Maggie and Lizzy sat back down, Clara grumbled, staring Tiff down, "Why are you doing this?"

Tiff perked up and focused her attention on my friend. "Why am I doing this?" she questioned.

Clara gave her a disgusted look, slowly moving her position away from the girl with the blue hair, "Yes, you."

"When I graduated…"

"You never graduated… I remember Brooke saying you were still in school by the time I left for college!"

"Brooke?" I thought to myself, "Could it be the same Brooke…? Could all of my connections somehow intertwine into one?!"

My thoughts were interrupted by Tiff's scream.

"You!" Tiff squealed, "You are none of my business! Why'd you have to be with the Anderson girl and not with someone less qualified?! And also not on my boss's target list?!"

"Well, Tiffany West, it's not my fault you had to get involved with him!" Clara motioned to Draco, who was busy with Lizzy and Maggie. I hadn't dared turned to them to see what he'd done to those innocent girls.

A burst of cold air flew around the bus, causing me to shiver. Looking to find the source of the wind, I spied three figures coming closer to the bus. They crept around the corners of nearby buildings. Two of them seemed very familiar to me… the third one didn't… but it didn't matter.

I squinted to see the distinct faces, making out every expression from afar. One young man lit up when he saw me look at him. A friendly smile crept onto the man's lips, and he gripped tighter to the frame of the building once doing so. The man next to him, a few years younger, seemed a bit nervous compared to the first, but he was prepared to run for his life. The girl had no clue what was occurring, although obeyed the second man's demands. The glint in the first man's eyes caught me off guard. Way too familiar. His small silver ear-piercings glinted off the sunlight.

The sight of the man's ring was when I realized Mitch had finally come to save me.

So that's another chapter done!

Will Mitch be able to save Ray? How do Clara and Tiff know each other? Do Brooke, Luna, and Allison have anything to do with this due to the fact they all attended the same school? How did Preston and Rouge make up after that little incident over the phone? And why hasn't Fia been rescued yet?!

Stay tuned until... CHAPTER 15!

I probably will not get another chapter up until Sunday... I'll be worrying about Saturday the whole week. Saturday you say?! This Saturday is super duper important... cause it's the TEAM CRATED LA MEETUP! I WILL BE THERE! If any of you are going, make sure to let me know so I can meet you in person which would be completely awesome! If you aren't going, I might be posting some pictures somewhere... maybe you can finally see me irl... Maybe... idek. I'll let you know if I do.

This means the final part of the Hijack will be uploaded most likely on Sunday. If I get to it sooner, then you're all in luck!

Hope you liked the chapter!
