(third person POV)
"What is this place?" Jack asked as he look around in the garden in wonder.
But as expected, the three teens just ignored him because soon Seth's device started beeped slowly.
"This way" He said, tightening his hold on Skyler's wrist, pulling her into a random direction followed by Sarah then Jack.
They came to a blue pad like substance. Seth held the device over the pad with both hands causing it to beep vigorously.
"Sarah! It's here!" yelled Seth. Sarah and Jack came to surround the pad.
Seth and Sarah smiled in happiness as Sarah hurried to take off her neckless and placed it on the pad. Jack watch the neckless beep before the pad changed it's color.
Too caught up in what is happening, neither of them noticed that they were missing a traveling companion.
Seth and Sarah shared a look of wonder as the pad changed it's color before Sarah stuck her hand in the pad. Seconds later, she pulled out a small device.
"What's that?" asked Jack
"It is what we came for Jack Bruno" Sarah answered, giving him a smile.
"Really? Is anyone else looking for it? Say, the person who trashed everything upstairs." Jack asked.
"We believe so. It is very valuable which is why it was extremely vital that we located it first." Answered Seth
"Then what makes you think that who ever else wanted it, isn't still looking for it?" Jack asked and soon his question was answered by the sound of a door slamming shut.
"We must leave" Seth said as his hand instinctively went to grab Skyler's only to feel air.
(Skyler's POV) (Song: Barbie Starlight adventure)
The soft melody, the sweet bells. I know that song but where did I hear it from?
I slowly followed the familiar harmonious melody through the garden as if it's sweet sound was hypnotic and soon came to another glowing pod like substances.
I hesitantly placed my trembling hand on it. I expected it to feel slimy but It was soft and silky.
After a few second, it's color changed into a bright red before it sucked in my hand.
I silently screamed as it pulled at my hand. I was oblivious to the repeated shouting of my name as I frantically tried to pull my arm out.
The seconds after a cold sensation wrapped itself around my wrist, it pushed me out with such force that almost caused me to fall.
I trembled me in fear and slowly backed away while keeping my eyes on it was if it was going to jump at me if I angered it even in the slightest way.
Suddenly, arms wrapped themselves around my waist, pulling me to a body and out of instincts, I wiped around, swinging my arm around to punch whoever it was.
My fist went straight through Seth face. He showed no sign of pain but his grip lessened, giving me time to step away from him.
"What are you?" I stuttered out as my whole body shook like a leaf.
"Skyler" he said as he used his hands to beckon me forward while taking slow steps towards me. "Time is of the essence. We have no time for questions at this moment. We have retrieved the device that we had came for. We need to leave this place immediately." Soon he was in front of me, taking both my hands into his. "Are you Unharmed?"
I was about to nod when the sound of a tree falling caused me to jump right into his open arms.
As he pulled me towards were Jack and Sarah were currently hiding, his arms tightened around me, sending a warm secure feeling to wash over my body.
I flinched at the sounds of heavy footsteps and crushed branches.
"Go! Go!" yelled Jack at that the sound of another tree falling.
We then took to the exit. Jack gripped the wooden chair leg that he had been carrying while pushing us in front of him. Unknown to the rest of us, Jack stopped to take on our scary dark pursuer.
After insuring that we reaching at a certain distance, Seth who was behind Sarah and I, pulled us both into the bushes before signaling us to be quiet.
From where I was, I was only about to see it from it's feet to it's stomach but it seems to be a creature, humanoid form, dressed in a black full body suit. From the way it's body turned, I could see it was looking at the pods hanging form the ceiling. A gun like device then popped out of it's wrist before it was aimed at them. As the pad blow up from the laser, Sarah screaming from the blast. Hearing her, It instantly started walking to us.
"Go!" yelled Seth, pushing us to continue running in front of him.
"Jack Bruno!" yelled Sarah causing us to stop when she finally noticed that he was missing.
"Kids!" Jack yelled back from just a few meters away from us.
We ducked as the creature continued to shoot the pods above our heads before Seth pushed us to run again.
Soon, the three of us were blown away when the fire started spreading to the other pods causing them to explode.
Not a second later, Seth got up and pulled us to our feet.
"Jack Bruno!" Yelled Sarah called just as the creature caught up to us, grabbed her wrist causing the device to drop from her hand.
"Sarah" I yelled before kicking the creature in it's face.
Surprisingly, It didn't even flinch when my foot connected with it's face but apparently, I angered it. It grabbed me by my arm, easily lifting me in the air.
"Let them go!" Yelled Seth as he came closer but the creature throw me at him. Luckily, Seth caught me. It then pushed Sarah away, before going for the device she dropped.
Sarah quickly used her powers to pull the device back into her hands.
Suddenly, out of no where, Jack came and tackled the creature but in no time, the creature easily had him in a head lock before pushing him away.
Sarah then used her powers to grab on of the pods and throw it at the creature. Soon after, Jack came and pushed us to run towards to exit.
Sarah was the first one to get to the exit as I ran closely behind her with Jack and the Seth behind me. Just as Sarah and I got to the steps of the basement, there was an explosion that sent Sarah and I flying into the stairs wall. The explosion was quickly followed by the earth shaking.
When I stood up, there was a sharp pain in my chest and only one thing came to mind.
"Seth" I said and without even thinking, I was running back down the stairs once to see Jack carrying him over his shoulders.
"Just go!" Jack yelled while running up the stairs in front of me. When we ran out, Sarah quickly closed the refrigerator door.
Running outside, the ground was exploding under us.
Jack quickly put Seth in the back seat and while Sarah and I got in, Jack hurried to the driver's seat before speeding us away.
