Ivy Pov
''James, she is waking up.'' That is the first thing I hear, and by the sound of my surroundings, I am not home in my bed. I am not in my little room in the caves. I am not with Doc in the hospital area either. I am somewhere else. Something moving. But that couldn't be possible could it? Starting to move a little I realize my space isn't that big. I am laying down, but I can't seem to find my arms and legs to move. Panic rises as I find them tied.
''Look, someone's panicking huh?'' I try to open my eyes and escape from the darkness, but only to feel my eyelids hit against some fabric tied over my eyes. They blindfolded me? My head starts to spin. Who are these people? Why are they doing this? All I remember was me and Marvel… Oh Marvel. My heart starts to pound and I take in a gasp of air.
''Weakie, weakie.'' The voice is the same from before. A woman's voice. Tiny and high pitched. But obviously it didn't matter. Feeling a hand on my face I start to scream.
''Damn it!'' she sighs and swears for herself and I feel the blindfold being taken off. The first thing I see is two forest green eyes, followed by red hair and two lips pressed into one thin line.
''Don't scream or I will break every bone in your body,'' she warns. I gasp and try to back away from me, but hit the backseat I am sitting in.
We're in a van. The woman, about 30 is hovering me just like Kyle and Noah did before I left. But not in a concerned or caring way. This scares the shit out of me. I was just about to scream when I see the man in the front seat. He is facing the road, driving, but his eyes are up in the mirror above the front seat – staring at me. Scared to death I turn back to the woman, eying me with evil, poison eyes.
''Now, that's more like it.''
''How- Why?'' I manage to get out. The next thing that happen is that I scream. But the woman beside me screams too. We had our reasons. The man in front driving had pushed down the brake – making the car stop immediately. With me and the woman panting for air in the backseat he got out of the car without a word, opened my door and yanked me out. Being pushed against the car I let out a cry of pain, but he didn't say anything. Neither did the woman with the red hair. She knew better then to interrupt him.
''My people heard about you on the radio,'' his dark voice says as he lights up the cigarette in his hand. Frowning and coughing when he blows out the smoke at me he smiles.
''We all heard on how your mother the soul cried her lungs out on radio, then television on how you were kidnapped.'' I gasp for air. My mother? She was looking for me.
''You've been gone for quite a time now so we figured you weren't dead. They stopped looking you know..'' Closing my eyes I feel a tear fall down. It feels like I've been crying a lot lately. But now I am crying for both the pain in my arm, but also for my mother.
''We've been looking for you since day one. You belong to us now, understood?'' I shake my head and his jaw tightens. In the corner of my eye I see another van pull up beside ours. So it wasn't just James and the red haired woman after all.. James grabs my wrist, pressing down making it hurt. I think he might break it if he keeps pushing down.
''We will use you. Don't even think about escaping. We've been driving for days. You are ours now.'' I shake my head again. I belong to no one.
People exit the van. Two massive guys by the size of Ian and one tiny teenager with black short hair. I am thinking about begging for their help, but by the murderous looks in their eyes they hate me.
''We are going to use you to get what we want.'' I jump by surprise to hear the red-haired woman beside me. Shivering I look at the new arriving people. The guys looks bored, but the teenager, younger then Jamie looks as if she's about to attack me. Her fists are turning white by the pressure she is putting on them.
''Tess, will you shut it?'' the man James hisses. She stops and backs away.
''You are going to use my as hostage?'' I whisper. This time, the little girl speaks up, taking a step forward. Hearing her speak, I find her accent a little bit strange. I haven't heard it before.
''Sure as hell we are. We are going to use you, torture every inch of your body until you regret you lived with those parasites for years. I despite you!'' One of the guys places a hand on her should.
''Ollie calm down,'' he warns. But she doesn't. She just keeps staring at me in such anger I turn away ashamed.
''They will come and get me,'' I whisper to myself. Not to tell them, but to tell me. It was my way to keep hanging on to the little hope I had left.
''They will never find you.''
Marvels Pov
''Answer damn it!'' I wake up by a slap in my face – stinging and making my cheek burn.
''Where is she?'' one voice yelled.
''What the hell happened?'' another demanded. Looking around for Ivy to ask her what is going on. I had a million questions. Like why we were still here. What happened?
''Where is she?'' I mumble, still feeling dizzy. Someone make out a frustrated sound and I feel myself being slapped again.
''Wake up idiot!'' I know realize its Lily who's been slapping me. My eyes finally working as they should, I see Lily, Wes, Noah and Kyle hovering me. Most of them look pissed, except for Lily who just looks concerned and tired. What time was it?
''Will you stop that?'' I ask, rather annoyed. That's when silence hits us all. I try to sit up, but my whole body hurts. Something is defiantly broken.
My brain takes me back to the last thing I remember, trying to recall why I am hurt so bad. Then I hear it. Ivy screaming my name. Two dark figures walking towards me as I try to get to her. I run but I don't get to her. Screaming her name she calls out for me, but stops and gives out a pained cry. They are hurting her! And that's when I reach the two big figures. Trying to go around them they tackle me down to the ground. I can't see Ivy – what are they doing to her? The last thing I remember was screaming her name.
''Ivy,'' I whisper. She has to be here. She must. I am going to lose myself if she isn't here with me, safe.
''Where. Is. She?'' My eyes shoot up too meet Kyle's blue eyes, staring into mine.
''I-I don't,'' I start, but someone pushes me down in the chair again.
''Wrong answer!'' Noah roars. Damn, what the hell have I've done?
''This is your fault!'' Kyle screams, storming off. And then I realize he is right. Everything is my fault. I've lost her. She is gone, all because of me.
''Who took her Marvel?'' they continue. I don't know. I'm helpless. I've let her down. I wasn't good enough.
''I don't know. One man and a woman took her and two guys like Ian attacked me,'' I whisper. I am impressed I even got the words out, because it feels like I can't breathe.
''Well that's very useful,'' Noah says sarcastically.
''Actually, that's some good information Noah. Marvel, did you see anything else?'' Doc asked. Wait, when did Doc get here? I think hard, but find nothing but darkness. But then it hit me.
''It was a bus parked.. It was maroon red I think.'' Doc smiles.
''Now that's even better.'' He is so calm. Thinking about it, I am pretty pissed he's so calm. Why wasn't he freaking out like I was? He and Ivy were friends. But he acted like he didn't care.
''Where did Kyle go?'' Lily asks, looking around confused. Silence falls and when I can hear Wes swear out loud.
''Damn it, he's going after her. He's taking a car!''
''What t- Let's go now! Run!'' Noah yells. Wes nods and starts moving towards the cave opening, Lily following him.
''Wes you can't go – if you do, please just..''
''I know Lils, I know.''
Kyle Pov
I was sitting in the car, listening to the radio when the others jumped in back seat. Looking around I see Wes and Noah. Yeah, I could work with them. If Marvel had managed to keep up with them and got here with them I as hell would drive. I hated that guy now. Probably as much as Noah.
''Took you long enough,'' I growled and stepped on the pedal, starting to drive the car.
''You waited – I'm impressed,'' Wes says between his breaths, trying to steady his rate. I frown at this and just accelerate.
The radio is talking about the latest movie coming out in the cinema. The parasites voice is very high pitched and it starts to get really annoying.
''Can you turn that shit out?'' Noah says in a frustrated tone. I nod, reaching out for the button to kill the voice off, but I stop when I hear the voice disappear without me even touching the button.
''Sorry to corrupt your morning show Susan, but we just got a call from up north in Alaska.'' We all freeze, because we all knew that's where Ivy used to live.
''I am sorry to say this to you and I do not wish to scare you, but this is important information I am about to tell you and I would like to ask you to update people you know on the info also.'' The voice of the old man speaking sounds tired, but he actually seems serious and almost caring.
''One family in Alaska just got a call from a unknown device telling them they've kidnapped one of their family members and are threatening the pair to rather impossible information. We were able to track the signal to our state, but not exactly where.'' My eyes widen. They were still here. My hands tightens around the steer wheel, my foot pushing down.
''Please, if you see something rather unusual, please contact your nearest seeker. Do not get close to these people, they are dangerous. Let's help each other and live in a peaceful world without sorrow or pain. Also, have a good night sleep. That would be all foks.''
I feel like I am going to break any second. I can't take it anymore. This is bullshit. I want to scream out loud.
''Shut up Kyle,'' Wes warns before I can even begin.
''We will find her, so shut up and accelerate.''
