Abby woke up sore and tried to stretch but realized that she was hanging from her wrists in tight ropes. Her ankles were also tied and her mouth was gagged with tape over it. It was dark but she could still make out the shape of someone beside her. It was Dave in the same situation she was in. He appeared to still be unconscious.

"Dave"! Abby tried to yell but it came out as a moan. The gag was practically choking her and the ropes were tied so tight that it was cutting off the blood circulation in her wrists.

Abby watched as a dark figure came into the room. There was very little light in there so she could barely make out who it was. Before she could get a glance at her the figure went up and covered her eyes. The figure the removed the tape from her mouth and took off the gag and put it over her eyes so she couldn't see a thing. Abby started choking as soon as the gag was removed.

"Who are you?" Abby asked weakly. She tried her hardest not to show the fear in her voice but it didn't work. The figure went up and roughly stroked her cheek. She flinched at the tough.

"Don' be afraid" The voice wasn't normal. It was as if he or she were talking through some kind of machine. Abby knew this was so whoever this was, was trying to disguise their voice.

"I'm not going to hurt you.yet," said the voice with an evil laugh.

"If you're lucky, your boyfriend will hurry up and rescue you before you go through anymore pain than necessary.

"Look this obviously has to do with me so why can't you let Dave go"? Asked Abby still clearly showing the fear in her voice.

"Because he knows who I am. Right before I knocked him out he found out my identity."

"You sick bastard," said Abby disgusted.

"Ohh don't be so harsh"

Once again there was the evil laugh, which sent shivers down Abby's spine. She made a mistake by calling who ever it was a name because she soon felt her own blood running down her face. He or she had cut her right above her eyebrow as the pain was starting to kick in; her mind yelled one last thing

Help me Carter!



John Carter awoke with a start. He could have sworn he heard Abby yell that she needed help. He suddenly realized that he was alone.

"Abby"! He called out. The sun was out yet no one was awake yet. He checked his watch. 6:30 am. Abby was not one to get up early. Something was wrong as the fear started rising in Carters stomach. He ran into the tent to see Pratt, Chen, Susan and Kerry sleeping. Dave and Abby were missing and surprisingly so was Luka.

"Luka" Carter growled through his teeth. Suddenly he saw movement from the bushes. Carter picked up one of the logs from the campfire. He picked it up and was about to swing when the figure emerged from the bushes. It was Luke.

"Woah Carter man calm down it's just me" said Luka holding up his hands in order to stop the log from hitting him. Carter threw down the log and grabbed Luka by the collar of his shirt and threw him up against a tree. This stunned Luka.

"Where's Abby"?! Yelled Carter. He had a disturbing rage in his eyes that would scare anything with a soul.

"What do you mean where's Abby, I thought she was with you" said Luka confused.

"Luka I swear if you hurt her, if you touched one hair on her head I'll-

"John what are you doing"?! Yelled Chen who was now awake and staring with disbelief at the scene in front of her.

"Abby's gone and I know he has something to do with it"! Yelled Carter.

"Wait what do you mean Abby's gone" said Chen

"I mean she wasn't here when I woke up and neither was he. All the sudden he just comes back out of no where." Yelled Carter getting angrier by the minute. By this time everyone was up and watching the scene in front of them. Luka finally shoved Carter off of him.

"Wait a minute you think I had something to do with Abby missing"? Asked Luka offended.

"Oh I know you did you son of a bitch and if you hurt her I will kill you"! yelled Carter still incredibly angry.

"Now John just calm down. Maybe she went for a walk or something," said Kerry in her rationalizing voice.

"Oh wake up Kerry. Abby didn't go for a walk she was kidnapped and I know he had something to do with it."!

"We don't know that Carter" said Kerry.

"Oh I do," said Carter turning back to Luka.

"Where is she"? Said John with anger quivering in his voice.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't kidnap Abby. I don't have a reason to". Said Luka trying to defend himself.

"Oh please I see the way you glare at us when ever we're together. Admit it Luka. You're jealous. Don't think she didn't tell me what you said to her when you guys broke up. She's not that pretty and she's not that special. And that I can have her. Well I can have her and to me she's beautiful and she's everything. Luka if you take her away from me-

"That's enough Carter. How do I know you didn't take her away from me"?! Yelled Luka.

"That's enough"! Yelled Susan breaking up the fight. They both looked at her startled.

"Look Abby and Dave are missing and fighting about it isn't going to find them any sooner. So we should split up into groups, start searching for them, and stop blaming each other. I want to find Abby just as much as you do but turning on each other isn't going to help the situation"! Yelled Susan. Everyone grew quite waiting for further instructions.

"Okay now there are 8 of us left. We'll split up into groups of 4. Kerry, Luka, Mark, and Elizabeth start looking around the woods. Leave a trail of something so you don't get lost. Carter, Deb, Pratt, and I will look around lakes, caves etc. We'll take this whistles and if you we get in any trouble or find either one of them, blow the whistle as loud as you can and the other group will come running now let's move"!

"Umm Susan" said Pratt.

"What" snapped Susan.

"Shouldn't we get dressed first" said Pratt looking around at everyone in their pajamas.





Abby was in pain. Her head hurt from the cut and she had a bruise forming on both her arms. She still didn't know who her kidnapper was and it seemed the ropes were growing tighter by the minute. She only hoped that Dave wasn't hurt. She hoped that Carter was going to find her soon. The only thing that kept her going was the faith that Carter was going to find her. After all Carter was the reason she even knew what faith was.

Suddenly Dave started to stir.

"Dave, Dave are you awake"? Abby got a mumble in return remembering that Dave still haves the gag in his mouth. Since she could talk and he could see they might be able to start something.

" Listen Dave I can't see anything but I can talk. I need you to look around and see if there's a way out," said Abby with desperation growing in her voice.

"Well it looks like Davie is awake," said the machine voice coming back.

"Leave him alone," cried Abby.

"I'm not going to hurt him. It's you and Carter I want to hurt."

"What does Carter have to do with this"? Asked Abby quite confused.

"Well actually it's my partner in crime who wants to hurt Carter. I just want to hurt you. But basically I'm using you to bring Carter here"

"So it's a trap," yelled Abby.

"In a way yes. I know for a fact he loves you more than anything and would gladly sacrifice his life for yours and if by any chance it comes down to that"

"You leave him alone"! Screamed Abby.

"A little touchy aren't we. I would make you pay for that but unfortunately I have to go leave my next clue so that they can find me. Oh and by way tell your friend Davie there that there is no way out". Said the kidnapper leaving the room and shutting the door so it was now pitch black. For the first time in a long time Abby started to cry as Dave once again feel unconscious from the pain in his wrists. Abby felt helpless. She needed Carter to stay away to save his own life but Abby knew that was never going to happen. Carter wasn't going to give up looking for her ever. What was to become of all of them and what did Abby do to get herself into this mess.
