Hello! I'm back with Chapter three of the abduction. Hope you like! Now READ!!

Tasslehoff Burrfoot walked down the street, much the same as Raistlin, his pouches jingling and topknot swinging.

"Lalala," he sang. "Lalala. . . I forgot the words. . ." so instead he hummed. "Hmm hmm hm-hm. . . ." All of the sudden Tas stopped, for he saw before him a wondrous sight, something that filled him with delight, a feeling that went from topknot to toes.

A trail of THINGS!

"Gosh!" he whispered. "Somebody sure is careless! Leaving all this stuff here, where anyone could just come up and take it! I better pick them up for safekeeping."

And off he went, following the trail all the way to the Great Library, humming his off-key song as he went.

By the time he reached the entrance to the library, ha was singing, "On the Road Again." The kender's pouches were jammed with all sorts of interesting things.

"I wonder if any of them are magical," he thought, following the trail right into the Library. The poor kender never suspected a thing . . . .not until he heard the giggles.

Tas's sharp ears pricked. "Hello?" he called brightly. "Are the things yours? You must have dropped them . . "

The shadows attacked Tas in much the same way as they had done for the mage.

About an hour later, 7 people lay bound and gagged in Laurika and Kity's basement. They were all muttering and groaning and swearing about their bonds cutting into their flesh.

"Damn kids," Tanis muttered, shifting to get the blood pumping again. Fizban, who was constrained to the wall, looked up.

"Kids? Where? Oh, I just love kids! They're so cute and fuzzy, and when you poke them, they giggle!"

The Hero's all stared at Fizban, who was poking his cheeks and grinning. Sighing, they all let their heads sink to the floor.

But all 7 heads snapped up again when those telltale giggles issued through the darkness. Kity and Laurika materialized out of the darkness.

"Hello, all!" Laurika said, waving. Kity pulled a list from her pocket, skimming over it briefly.

"Ok, are they all here?" she asked Laurika. "Raistlin, Tasslehoff?"

Laurika's eyes scanned the room. "Check, check."

"Dalamar, Fizban, Tanis?"

"Check, check, check!"

"Flint, Sturm."

"Check and check!"

The two grinned slyly, cunningly, rubbing their hands together.

"Cut their bonds," Laurika ordered. "I have some things for us to do."

Ok, that's it for Chapter 3. Hope you liked it. Actually, I just realized something. Laurika wrote this whole chapter. Ok, on to Chapter 4!
