Chapter 5
"Shut your mouth!" Cassie captor hissed and struck her on the side of her face with his already wounded hand. She instantly stopped screaming. Cassie closed her eyes and prayed to be anywhere but there right now, but she managed to summon up some courage and open her eyes. Since she was gagged she couldn't really say much. But she looked at him fiercely, meaning that she wouldn't be frightened so easily. He lifted his hand to strike her again. "Don't look at me with your eyes girl, if you know what's good for you, you Warner. Your pals are gonna come looking for ya, so will Justice and I will have you all right where I want you. Don't tempt me to hurt you more." Cassie felt weak, the sudden courage was draining away. She looked again into the face of her abductor, and she still couldn't believe it. He was supposed to be dead. He died when the building fell down, not even Harmony could survive it. Certainly Kirk Lampring couldn't. But yet here she was gazing into the mashed up face of Kirk Lampring, Yakko's so-called "Twin" whom suddenly appeared out of nowhere and she almost fell in love with. She had to stop his plan, this man was capable of anything, and she didn't want her friends getting hurt. She'd probably leave Justice with Kirk though, hey Justice had done some really mean things! Cassie suddenly realized while she was babbling inside her head about what to do with Justice, Kirk was standing over her threateningly. "Didn't you listen to a word I've said?!" He shrieked. "Yes." Cassie said tensely. She was afraid of getting hit again But knew she had to somehow stop this madman. "Good, now your gonna stay in here until your friends come for You!!" Kirk walked over to her. "You have no proof that you even have me...they wont agree to Anything!" Cassie glared at him. "Wanna bet?" He pulled out her crystal. She gasped and her eyes widened. "Give that back!!" She struggled to free herself. "No way, this is my ID card to tell the Warners that I have you, and theres no way I'm letting you mess things up!" He kicked her away. Cassie struggled to stay conscious. "You don't understand.......I..Cant...survive long...without it..."
"I know that.." Cassie lifted her head up in surprise. "I have the evidence now.. why bother needing the actual person, besides, your of no more use to me.." With that he whacked her on the back of her head. Darkness surrounded Cassie once more as she lost all consciousness.
Yakko was pacing around the room closest to the door. He was waiting to hear from Wakko and Dot. Again they had no such luck finding any trace of Cassie. Yakko was really getting desperate when something caught his eye. He looked over at the tower door to see a folded envelope near it. He blinked in surprise and ran over to pick it up. He grabbed it and tore it open. He pulled out a letter addressed to them and started to read: "Dear Warners, I have your little friend with pink hair. If you ever wanna see her alive again meet my demands, I will be waiting at the old Oak tree in the park. Better be there at 4 PM or you'll never hear from her ever again." Yakko collapsed in a nearby chair. He couldn't believe this. His thoughts turned to doubts, Cassie had to be alright she wouldn't let herself get kidnapped she's too careful, unless....Yakkos mind clouded over with thoughts of how someone could kidnap their victim easily. At the same time he was thinking this Dot and Wakko walked into the tower followed by Zack. "Yakko? Yakko whats wrong?" Dot asked, she had seen the desperate look on her brother's face as she walked in. "Dot.." Yakko replied weakly, holding out the note. Dot took it into her hands and read it, then inhaled sharply. She looked in shock. Wakko and Zack also read it. Wakko was confused as always but confident they could get Cassie back. Zack was in the same condition as Yakko. Dot looked at the clock in the tower.
"C'mon boys we better hurry, its almost 4, and if this guy isn't kidding, this is one time we have to be on time.."
Justice had also found a letter addressed to her and carefully opened it. She read her letter. "Justice, I have one of those Warners you've been after, if you want them all. meet me by the old Oak tree in the park at 4. Be there or no Warner for you.." Justice made a small smirk. She snapped her fingers and Cherry and Emerald suddenly appeared by her side. "Yes Ma'am?" both said automatically. "C'mon.." she looked at the clock, it was near 4. "Lets go find us a Warner.."
Aqua held the orb in her hands, staring at intently, even though she was crying she felt so warm, so happy, just like how Lavender always made her feel. "Oh Lavender..." Aqua whispered. "If I only knew where you were...I could finally have closure." She closed her eyes and tears streamed down her face in rivers. "I'm here.." Came a familiar voice from the globe, Aqua hardly noticed she was still in her dream world. "If I could just hear your voice one more time.." "I'm here.." the voice repeated. That seemed to shake Aqua back in the present. she jumped, literally. "W-what?!?!" "Aqua its me...Lavender.." The globe said. Wait a minute, reality check Aqua, she said to herself. This is a magic globe, they don't talk, especially in dead sisters voice. Yet she still couldn't help it. "Lavender?" she whispered. "But... Your.." "Dead? Yeah vie heard that theory too.." "Hey Let me talk!" said another familiar voice. Aqua recognized it immediately. "Amber?!?" "Yup me too!" "anyone else in there?" Aqua asked, totally weirded out. "No just us two..." Amber said. "Whats happened out there?" Lavender asked. Aqua sighed. "Justice has gone insane! shes killed Harmony, Sunshine, and left Cherry and Emerald brainwashed!" "Justice cant be the real one behind this.." Lavender thought.
"sure she can!" Amber argued. "No.. someone else is also behind this...I think the Caster is also in on it.." Aqua blinked in surprise. "Lavender you've been staying in that orb too long..." "I'm Serious I think he's hypnotized Justice...She's never been this mean before, besides when she kidnapped me she had a glazed look in her eyes.." Aqua looked at the orb thoughtfully. "well now what do I do?" Aqua asked. "Find the only ones who can help us.." Lavender sighed. "You don't mean......." "Yeah.. the Warners.."
"Shut your mouth!" Cassie captor hissed and struck her on the side of her face with his already wounded hand. She instantly stopped screaming.
