First Explainations...
Evy was once again pacing the floor of the living room, panicking about the whereabouts of her brother and niece. It had been three hours since the time Samantha promised to have her father home by. Rick was sitting on the couch, watching his wife also scared about where they could be. Luckily, Alex had gone to bed an hour ago after being promised that his uncle and cousion would come home safe. It had started to rain when they had sent Alex to his room.
"Where could they be? If anything's happened to them, I don't know what I'd do" She paused her pacing and walked over to her husband. She then sat down next to him and he put his arms around her in a comforting manner.
"You know very well that Sam would not let anything happen to her father, she loves him too much. If anyone hurt him, she'd be the first one to know about and hunt down the person who did it to him. They've propabably got a bit sidetracked, that's all"
Their peace was distrubed when they heard a deep banging coming from the front door. Rick was on his feet immediatly, Evy still sitting down with fear on her face. "Rick, do you think it might be those people after the pendent?" Turning round to face his wife, Rick said "I don't know. Only one way to find out". He reached over to a desk and pulled out a gun from a drawer, which was always locked in case Alex ever got curious.
The banging happened again and Rick had made it to the front door. Slowly, he cocked his gun and quickly opened the door, and pointed the gun at the person standing in the rain, nearly making a big mistake. Samantha was standing there in the rain on the doorstep, soaked to the skin and shivering violently. She was holding her chest protectively, her lip was still bleeding and her arms were covered in blood. She looked at Rick with red eyes from crying, uttered one word and fainted into her uncle's arms. "Dad..."
"EVY! QUICK, CALL A DOCTOR!" Evy rushed up from the couch and gasped at the sight in Rick's arms and made straight to the phone. Rick made Sam comfortable on the couch and started checking her for injuries. Her lip looked like it could use with a couple of stitches and he checked for broken ribs. He found none, but was pretty sure that one or two were bruised. Her arms were a different story though, many scratches and cuts covered them, still slightly bleeding and a couple had the look of infection in them. Upon closer inspection, he could see glass stuck in many of the wounds, but he wouldn't dare get them out, the doctor could deal with that.
Evy came back in the living room to find Rick checking Sam's wounds and asked if she could help anymore. After feeling Sam's forehead, he turned to his wife and explained "Fever's set in. We need some water, a blanket and a cloth. We need to try and clean some of these arm wounds before anymore infection sets in. Then we've got to leave the doctor to finish the job"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After getting Samantha into her room after the doctor had finished with the stitches in her arms and lip, Rick and Evy made sure she had a bath and got her covered up in bed. The doctor told them that the fever should clear by morning and should be given antibiotics every hour until then, also one of her ribs was bruised, so she should take it easy.
Alex awakened to the noise of the front door being closed and snuck out of bed to investigate. He knew something was wrong with his cousion and went straight to her room. He gasped like his mother did when he saw the state Sam was in, with her arms covered in bandages and stitches in her lip. He moved closer to the bed and climbed on top of the bed, which caused Sam to shot up out of her sleep and screamed. Seeing Alex sitting up in front of her, Sam calmed down and hugged her surprized cousion and started crying "It's my fault, Alex. It's my fault he's gone. My fault he got kidnapped. I didn't want them to take my dad, but they overpowered me. And now, I don't know what they might do to him" Breaking down more into sobs, Rick and Evy came into the room to find out where the source of the scream came from.
"Alex, what's going on here? What's wrong with her?" "I don't know Mom, she just woke up and started saying something about who took Uncle John" Evy looked over at Rick, and gave Sam the hug instead. It took ten minutes for Samantha to finally calm down and told them about what happened, the men that took Jonathan, what they did to her and where they told her to meet for the exchange between the pendent and Jonathan.
"Don't worry. We will not let Jonathan get killed. But you must stay here and rest. No buts, the doctor told you to rest and rest you shall" That left Sam in a pout and refused to speak to them. When they left the room with Alex to let her rest, she put her quickly thought up plan into action. Making sure they weren't going to distrub her, she walked over to the window and threw it open. A old oak tree grew near the west part of the manor and some of it's branches grew outside her window. Quickly, she walked back over to her bed and pulled out the bow containing the pendent, taking it out and felt the power rush though her body, giving her new strength. Pocketing it, she made her way to the window again, when the bedroom door opened and revealed Alex.
"Where are you going? Mom and Dad told you to stay in bed. "I'm going to see a friend in town who can help me get my Dad back, don't tell anyone where I'm going. I'll be back soon, promise me that you won't tell Aunty Evy and Uncle rick" He nodded and closed the door behind him. Samantha climbed out of the window and down the oak tree. When the coast was clear, she stole off into the night, to one of the most greatest jewellery-fakers in London.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was about ten when she got back. The copy was perfect, apart from the fact that there was no power flowing from it. It had a great golden shine to it that could fool anyone, even her father who could spot a fake miles away. She climbed back up the tree and though the window. Sam closed it and put the real pendent back into it's box and put the fake under her bed for later. Evy came in to check on her fever and was pleased to find that it had broken. Kissing her goodnight on the forehead and promising to get her brother back, she went out the room before she got the chance to hear Sam utter under her breath "So do I, Aunty Evy, so do I..."
