LUNA

My pain was so intense, I couldn't think straight. All night, there was torture. I can't take much more of this. But no matter how much I begged and sobbed, the man wouldn't stop the torture machine I am now strapped to.

It seemed like forever before it finally stopped and I began breathing rapidly in relief. I want Nashi. I want my sister. The man, whatever his name was, didn't seem satisfied. "Well, who are you allied to?" he growled.

"H-huh?" I questioned. "My sister?" I didn't want to be hurt again, so of course I answered. It didn't seem to matter though.

I screamed some more as pain consumed me and then, I was gone, only to be replaced with something else, a new feeling. All I could do was grin like a maniac, but I wasn't in control. I'm not the one grinning. Yet at the same time, it was me.

"So, who are you allied with?" he questioned again.

Despite my urge to spit at his face, I found myself saying, "You, master."

THIRD PERSON

Storm, Alaric, Silvia, Jason, Hunter and Hermione were still together. Hermione, though, was bored out of her wits and just wished that their parents's rescue mission would just fail already.

"This is taking forever," Storm grumbled.

Hermione grinned at him. "Then how about we go have a little... fun?" When she saw everyone else giving her glares, she quickly added, "It'd take our minds off of this terrible misfortune. So, Storm, what'd you say?"

"Sure," Storm agreed. "Let's go, guys."

Hermione stared at him, thinking, this guy cannot take a hint. That just makes him more attractive, oh my gosh!

"Um, okay," Silvia said.

"Nah, I'm good," Jason said, still thinking about Nashi and Luna.

"Oh, come on, Jase," Silvia said. "Worrying isn't good for the skin."

"Jase?" Jason questioned.

"Yeah, let's go," Hunter said, ignoring Jason's confusion.

Alaric stood up. "I'm in."

Hermione huffed. "Well, fine." Even though Storm is the only one I like here, Hermione thought, rather ticked off that she wouldn't be getting any alone time with her love.

Jason glanced over at his mom and brother, both seemingly worry. Of course they are. So is Jason. What kind of brother would he be if he was off having fun with Nashi's and Luna's friends (he hardly knows them) while they were in danger?

Meanwhile, Rosalie Fernandez stared at the group in suspicion, knowing that they're planing something. Kuro Fullbuster, who was like another brother to Rosalie, twiddled his thumbs, knowing full well that he couldn't go over to his best friend, Zach. He's with his mother for the first time in his life. Alexa Dreyer and her cousin, Elliot Strauss, sat next to them, while Elliot and his brother, Emilo, was comforting their sister, Ellisa, who seemed very distressed over Zach's misery.

Lizzie and Skylar sat with their younger brothers, Zander and Peter, whom was comforting them instead of the older ones doing the comforting.

The only kid that didn't notice Jason, Storm, and their group leaving was Zach. Rosalie sighed in exasperation, wondering how dumb they can possibly be. As the oldest kid (only three months older than Elliot, granted) it's her job to make sure no one got hurt.

So looks like she has no choice but to make sure they're safe.

But she wasn't the only one thinking about going after them.
