Sam's POV

"Can we go slower? I can't catch up," I said. "I'm blind, remember?"

"Which reminds me, why didn't you remove your blindfold?" he asked.

I panted. "Does it matter?"

We ran distances like miles. With guards behind us, it's kinda impossible to take a break unless if you have a death wish.

"Ahh!" I tripped and fell face down on the ground. "That hurt."

"We're gaining on them!" one of the guards shouted. This is not good. Not good.

"Come on, come on," Freddie tried to pull me up. "Let's go."

I struggled to get up, but the weight on my ankle prevents me from doing that. "I don't think I can make it, you go first. I catch up with you later."

"No," he said firmly. "If we're going to go, we're going together. Come on, I'll carry you."

With that, I was up in his arms. "Just let me be, go and save yourself."

He didn't reply. He just kept on running and running...

...till we both fell down with a loud thud. "Ouch," he groaned.

"Freddie, you okay?" I asked.

"I'm fine, just..."

"You have no where to run now, you're surrounded by guards," the leader of the guards exclaimed.

I sighed. "We're doomed."

Freddie's POV

"Sam, Sam," I tried to wake her up from her slumber. "Wake up!"

"Yeah?" she asked groggily. "What's up?"

I whispered proudly. "I've found a way to escape. And this time, it will really work."

"Okay," she replied. "What's the plan?"

"You'll distract the guards first, then, I'll spring up from the back and hit them in their faces. They wouldn't know what hit them!" I whispered to her. "It'll work, trust me."

"Breakfast time!" a guard came into the room. "I bet you guys are hungry because I am totally famished!"

Sam stood up and said enthusiastically, "Hey, can you release me from these ropes? I can't eat while I'm still tied up."

"What do you think I am?" he asked. "I won't fall for your trick that easily!"

Just then, I found the perfect chance to initiate the plan. I stood up and jumped on the guard, trying to knock him unconscious.

"Why you..." he tried to resist, but Sam managed to hit his head with her own on time. But our troubles have just begun as more guards flooded the room.

"Hi-yah!" I kicked them hard and strong as Sam tried to aim and hit them. It seemed as though it was a difficult job for her as she tried her best to strike them in their heads even though she was blind. But when she missed her target, she hit a metal cupboard and it fell on top of her.

"SAM!"

Carly's POV

Is there nothing I can do to help them? Missy said that if I she replaces Sam on iCarly as well as her place in my heart as best friend, she would let her and Freddie go. But should I agree to her request? Oh, it's all my fault... I hope they're okay...

Just then, the phone rang.

"Carly!" Spencer yelled, his voice echoing throughout the apartment. "Can you get that for me?"

"Okay!" I yelled back. I looked down at the ringing phone with fear. But I knew what to expect. "Hello?"

"Have you made a decision?" Missy asked on the other end. "Will you join me?"

Three days have passed since the both of them went missing. Three days have passed since she kidnapped them. Three days since she had called me for my answer.

"I... I..." I gulped down my saliva in fear. "I'll do it."

Freddie's POV

"Sam, Sam! Can you hear me?" I shook her lifeless body by the shoulders.

"Freddifer?" she asked. "Is that you?"

I was glad that she was still alive. "Sam, please hang on, you'll be alright. We'll be out very soon."

"Well, well," Missy entered the room. "I guess the girl that I will soon replace is hanging on a thin life line. It's best so, at least there wouldn't be any clashes in identity or any probing. I'll just tell them that Miss Puckett has passed away. It's an easy lie and a good one too."

"What are you doing here?" I asked her. "Are you happy now?"

She laughed. "Why such a long face? I've come to tell you that you are free. Your dear friend, or should I say, my best friend Carly Shay has agreed to let me replace Sam as her new best friend and her new co-host."

I glared at her.

"What's wrong?" she taunted. "You're free to go now."

"Missy Robinson," I called her name as I continued glaring at her. "I swear, once we get out of here, we'll call the cops on you, tell them what you have done to us and you will be drowning in our pool filled with vengeance."

She laughed. "You don't scare me."

"Oh really?" I glared at her for one last time, using Sam's signature move that will guarantee emotional pain. "Come on, Sam, let's go."

I pulled her up to my back, trying to carry her and preventing her from falling all at the same time. Missy had already left the room along with the rest of the guards, leaving Sam and I alone.

"I'm sorry," she apologized. "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be kidnapped."

"It's not your fault," I assured her.

She struggled to say what she wanted to say. "Go, leave without me. I can't hold on much longer."

"Did you really think that I would leave you behind?" I asked, looking down at her dirty face as I wiped the tears off of it. "I will never leave you alone, Sam. Never."

"Go," she insisted. "Just, go."

"For the last time, no," I stayed firm on my stand.

She coughed real hard, seeming to be nearly out of breath.

"Sam, are you okay?" I asked, anxious about her condition. "Hang on, I'll get you out of here."

She coughed some more.

"Sam!" I placed her flat on the ground. "You've got to hang on. Don't you love to call me names? Freddifer? Freddison? Fredemame? Fredlina? Come on, go ahead, call me names for all you want. Just, hang on!"

"Fred...di...fer..." she tried her best to make a sound, but she just coughed even harder.

I look at her worn out face, thinking of ways I can help her. "Sam, do you remember about the lecture a few days ago? You were afraid that no one would love you, right?"

She looked tired, almost breathless.

"Actually, I was just forcing myself to love Carly. I just wanted to forget you. I just couldn't accept the fact that you're the one that I... that I... I... Sam, I love you!"

A/N: Dear all, thanks for your awesome reviews! I love you all! Seriously. Anyways, I would be going for a holiday for the next week, so I wouldn't be able to update for a while. But no worries. I'll be right back by Friday the 10th. Apologies... :(
