Chapter 5: Kidnap
It was the weekend again. ShadowFax and Jak were glad it was the weekend, but were saddened as the Professor had to leave them in charge of the institute again.
"I'm sorry, but we need someone here to make sure nothing happens to the institute." The Professor apologised.
"Alright." ShadowFax and Jak moaned.
Pyro was one of the first to get onto the Velocity, he didn't want to sneak off another mission while Jak was left in charge.
Jak and ShadowFax waved the Velocity goodbye, then sighed.
"Why us?" ShadowFax said.
"Ah well, at least we get the whole institute to ourselves for a while." Jak said.
"I'm gonna send mum a reply." ShadowFax said, then turned to leave the hanger.
"Join me when your done, I'm gonna see what DVD's we have here." Jak said as he followed ShadowFax out the hanger, then went down a different hall.

ShadowFax stared mournfully at the computer screen as the computer started up. Without everyone here, it was quiet and quite dull.
When she was able to get the e-mail screen up, she sat up and began typing.
"Dear mum,
Hey there! Our first week at school was a total disaster! We got lost 3 times on our first day, then got lost at least once each day after. Bayville High is bigger than I thought, I think it's even bigger than our old school! Anyways, how is everyone? Are you and dad coping without me there? Has England forgotten us?
Me and Jak have been left on our own again to take care of the institute while the rest go on another secret mission. It actually surprisingly boring with just me and Jak, sometimes when everyone is here I just want to be alone with Jak. Strange how things work out like that.
Anyways, Jak will be wondering where I am! Love you,
ShadowFax
xxxxx"
ShadowFax re-read the e-mail, then clicked send. Then the bedroom window flew open and ShadowFax was knocked out as something hit her round head.
•••••
Jak ran through the halls at full speed. He had heard ShadowFax scream, then things went quiet, too quiet.
Jak stopped and stared as he looked into their bedroom. The bedroom was a mess. ShadowFax had probably had a fight with someone, or something. The bedroom window was open.
Jak ran over to the window and looked out. He couldn't see anything, except a few claw marks on the branches of a tree beside the window.
"ShadowFax." Jak muttered. He then turned round and ran out of the room. He had to contact the Professor.
Jak entered the kitchen and was about to grab the phone when he noticed a walkie talkie on the kitchen table. Jak went and picked it up, staring at it.
"Here goes nothing." Jak mumbled. He turned it on and tried speaking into it.
"Hello? Professor?"
"Jak? I guess you found the walkie talkie I left. Is something wrong?" Came the Professor's voice.
Thank goodness! Jak thought.
"Yes, something's happened to ShadowFax. She was sending an e-mail to her parents in our bedroom. I was down in lounge choosing a DVD.
"Then I heard her scream. I went to our room and I can't find her! Our room's in a mess and the window is open. Professor, I think ShadowFax has been kidnapped." Jak said finally.
"Hold on Jak! I'll gather up everyone and head straight back!" The Professor said in a serious voice. Jak put the walk talkie down, but didn't turn it off.

Somewhere in Russia
ShadowFax stirred, how long had she been out?
ShadowFax sat up and rubbed her head.
"Did someone get the number of that bus? Ow." ShadowFax mumbled.
She opened her eyes to find herself in some kind of cell. There was a collar round her neck which was chained to the wall.
There wasn't any windows, and the only thing giving light was a few candles on a wall holder.
A rat ran across the floor and out of the cell, only to then change into a dark blue skinned lady.
"Nice to see you finally awake." The lady spoke.
"Who are you? Where am I? Why am I here!" ShadowFax asked.
"I am Mystique. You're in Russia, in an abandoned laboratory. And I'm not going to tell you why you're here yet." The lady answered.
"Let me go!" ShadowFax asked. She stood up and tried to run at the bars, only to find she nearly choked herself because of the chained collar.
"I'm afraid I can't let you go." Mystique said.
"I said, Let Me Go!" ShadowFax yelled, this time she got electrocuted by the collar. She screamed, then fell back onto the ground unconscious.
"Talk like that to me again and I'll send another jolt of electricity through your body!" Mystique said. Then walked away.

Jak sat in the lounge with Kitty and the Professor. The others had set off to search the institute for any trace of ShadowFax.
Logan had gone to their bedroom to try and find a scent to whatever or whoever had taken ShadowFax.
"Don't worry Jak, we'll find her." Kitty said reassuringly. It did had no effect on Jak. He looked as sorrowful as before.
"Kitty is right Jak. Logan will find something, I know he'll find something." Professor Xavier said.
Just then, everyone filed into the room except Logan.
"Anything?" Jak asked. Everyone shook their heads.
Then Logan came in.
"I think I have an idea to who's taken her." Logan said.
"Who?" The Professor asked before Jak could say anything.
"I couldn't find any scent except for ShadowFax's, so I believe it might've been Mystique." Logan continued.
"Mystique?" Jak questioned.
"I believe your right Logan. I'll use Cerebro to find ShadowFax if she's trying to use her shape-shifting abilities.
"Jak, you stay here with everyone else." The Professor said, then left the lounge.
Jak stared down at the floor looking even more sorrowful than before.
"It's going to be ok Jak, the Professor will find her. I bet she'll be using her shape-shifting to try and escape." Jean said. Jak didn't move.
