Chapter 5

"Amy, I'll meet you at home," Serena said as she walked with Jamie out to his car.

"See you later, Serena," Amy said getting into their jeep, and pulling out of the parking lot.

"Ready?" Jamie asked.

"Yeah," Serena said getting into the passenger side of Jamie's car. "Just as long as I'm home by six."

"So what's going on?" Jamie asked Serena.

They were sitting on his living room couch. His mom was at work, so Serena didn't have the excuse that someone might hear. She already had a drink, so no saying she was thirsty. She didn't have any excuses to use, so she was forced to tell the truth.

"Ok," Serena said with a sigh. "This may take a while."

"I don't mind," Jamie said.

"It might help if you know that our last name isn't Thompson, it's Anderson," Serena started. "And we both have telepathy, or telepathic powers. You heard about the Anderson twins being kidnapped about a year ago, right?"

"Yeah," Jamie said.

"Well...that's us," Serena said. "We were kidnapped by a guy named John. I won't tell you his last name. He also has telepathy, his powers aren't as strong as ours, but he also has the power to heal himself. We don't have that power.

"We saw him kill a guy that's why he kidnapped us. He tried to kill us, but we put up a good fight. It just wasn't good enough. That's how I got this," Serena said showing Jamie the scar on the back of her neck.

"looks like it hurt," Jamie said after seeing the scar.

"it hurt plenty, and it still does," Serena said remembering all the pain that the scar had given her in the past. "great tool for punishment. I'm going to cut out a few things cause that would just take up too much time, ok?"

"ok," Jamie answered.

"he realized of course that he couldn't kill us, so he just kidnapped us. Then-of course-he left town with us. When we got to the new town he killed some enemy of his. Then we went to a new town, and he killed more enemies. This went on for a while," Serena continued. "till last month, when he decided that we should be of some use, so he told us to kill a guy. We didn't, instead we sent the guy to a witness protection agency. John, luckily, never found out.

"we moved here a week ago. Yesterday, I remembered that this was our home town. I searched John's mind, without him knowing, to see if he remembered that this is where he kidnapped us from, but he forgot. I was happy to know that. It means we still have a chance of going home.

"Amy and I had put all things from our past in the back of our mind so that we'd never have to remember, but I was never able to put everything in the back of my mind, and forget it like her. At night I remember. It's like our mom is trying to contact me. Our mom has telepathic powers also," Serena said stopping for a moment as tears started to run down her face. "what time is it?"

"it's 5:36," Jamie replied.

"I should be getting back soon," Serena said stopping the tears.

"I'll give you a ride," Jamie said as they stood up.

"Stop here," Serena said as they came up to a house about three houses past the one where she was staying.

"This your place?" Jamie asked coming to a stop.

"No," Serena said getting out of Jamie's car. "we passed it about three houses ago."

"See ya tomorrow," Jamie said.

"See ya," Serena said before Jamie pulled away, and disappeared from sight.

"Where've you been?" John asked the second Serena stepped in the door.

"Out, and don't try to read my mind it won't work neither will making my scar hurt," Serena replied staring at John with a glare that seemed to be made of daggers.

"Who do you think you're talking to?" John said grabbing her wrist, and twisting it hard.

"You, now leave me alone," Serena said trying to hide how much her wrist hurt before using her powers to push him away.

"You need to learn a lesson," he said grabbing her arm, and twisting it behind her back most likely breaking a bone or two.

This chapter took me all afternoon to write, so I better get some good reviews, or I'll feel like all my work is for nothing. Please leave a review if you don't want me to cry in the near future (future as in anytime before I put out the next chapter). Also I promise that Jamie will not die as some of you had hoped he wouldn't.
