A/N:

I am extremely sorry for my SUPER late update, I give you permission to throw tomatoes at me, and say "boo..." But, in my defense, I did warn you, sort of... So, the answer to the question from last chapter, for me, would be Laura Marano - a few of said that - and half the reason would be because I'd get to hang out with Ross and stuff. And, there's no question they'll go out someday. A few of you guys also said that. The other reason would be because, Laura's just plain awesome, I'd love to be her! And as you can see, you guys were totally right about the kidnapping, though I did put it in the summary... But, I'm happy to say, every story has a happy ending - well except for really angsty ones. But, in reality, people always get what they deserve - one day, we'll all have to answer to none other than God. So, I just want to say this, follow your heart, not your brain, do what you think is right. Never listen to what anyone says, except for parents and teachers. And, I don't care what anyone says, each and every one of you are beautiful. Now that I'm done with that - sorry, for my half page length Author's Note...To the story...

Ally's POV

I waited for him to come back, when suddenly, I felt someone's presence. My eyes fell on a shadow, "Who's there?" They got closer, and closer, until, I could see the person, but he or she was wearing a black cloak. Their face was covered, but I could see their mouth. Suddenly, the person grabbed my waist, put me over their shoulder, and started running through the trees. I started screaming. He/she was pretty strong, though they looked skinny.

"HELP! I'M BEING KIDNAPPED!"

"Yelling won't help you," a particularly feminine voice said. Unexpectedly; she; I'm guessing, swiped out a tissue, and brought it to my nose, it had a sweet smell, being the science expert, I knew it was chloroform right away, but, I didn't have much time to think, my world started to black out. All I know, - before I do - is that being kidnapped, and taken to god knows where.

Austin's POV

After a lot of searching through the trunk of my car, I finally found the binoculars. I closed the trunk and walked back to the sand. But, what I found was certainly not what I wanted. Ally was gone, and I found a note, but this one wasn't like all the others:

If you want to find Ally, go through the woods, and knock three times at the first cabin you see. I will give you Ally, in exchange for something...

~ Th- Well, You'll Find Out Who

I started to run, I just kept going straight because they didn't give any directions, the idiot. I kept running, who knows how long, till my hands were on my knees and I finally arrived. Or so, I think. There were a bunch of guards around the cabin, yep, this is definitely it. I knocked three times, and I saw someone in a black cloak open it cautiously.

"I've been waiting for you," she - I think - said. The voice sounded strangely familiar, but, I can't put my finger on it.

Ally's POV

I lifted my head up, about to stretch, but I noticed that my arms were tied up with thick rope, since I was in a sitting positon, it was impossible to move without falling. There was also a piece of duck tape on my mouth. I could feel the big knot on the rope on my back, I think I could untie it; I once went to this camp, where they taught you how to untie rope knots, it sounded really boring, but it comes in handy. The only problem? The guards were watching me intently, I had to find a away to distract them! But, it doesnt help when my head hurts to no avail, I also had a few blisters and sores, probably from the chloroform. Wait, where am I? I looked around to see dark wood, I was in a corner, trapped by two bulky guards. It looked like a outhouse or cabin, and smelled like moldy wood and pine. How would I distract these guards? I heard some knocking, but I couldn't see much because the guards were blocking my way.

"Oh Austin, where are you?" I talked to the air, the guards gave me a strange look, "Save me." I heard a door creaking.

"Leave her alone!" a voice said, it took me a half a second to register it.

'Austin!' I tried to say, but it came out as, "Hm Hmm!" The tape was extremely tight! I found a small space between the guards, in which I could see.

"Ally?!" He said, I could see him outside the doorway, but I saw the person in the black cloak again, he/she was blocking Austin's way! "Move!" He shoved the person to the ground and ran towards me, but the guards quickly turned and one pushed him to the ground. But, he quickly got up and attempted to punch one of the guards, but they dodged it. This is my chance to untie the rope! I quickly used my expertise skills to untie the knot, and quickly peeled off the tape off of my mouth, before the guards noticed. Austin seemed to have seen this but, he didn't show any signs to the guards. He almost seemed have knocked out the guard still standing, but he was cut short of his swing.

"Not so fast," said the feminine voice again, 10 more guards entered the cabin from outside. Where the heck did they come from?

They all surrounded Austin, the person in the cloak must've noticed that I had untied the rope, and ripped the tape of my face, because of the next thing she says.

"Ahhh, Ally, I see you've managed to untie the rope, but it won't do you any good, " she stated with an evil smile spread out on her face, as 3 of the guards came to my corner, surrounding me. "If I were you, I wouldn't make a move, or your pretty little boyfriend gets it." Her smile stretched even more, to an extent I didn't know was possible.

"What do you want?" Austin glared at the girl, I could also see some blonde hair peeking out of the hood of her cloak. The guards made a circle around me and Austin.

"Oh nothing much; just to get rid of her!" she said, gesturing towards me. Okay, I'm a little freaked out.

"What?!" he said, "Why? What did she ever do to you? Who are you anyway?!" Exactly what I was thinking. She slowly pulled back the hood from her cloak, while smiling. I couldn't believe it! It was...

A/N:
Sorry, I ended at a cliffy again... The chapter is also really short! But, I kept writing it over and over again. I just couldn't get it right. I hope this was okay. The next chapter will be longer. It should be around at least 1,500+. Or, something around that. And, I know in the note, it said she wanted something, in exchange for Ally. Even though, she wants to get rid of Ally, she will ask for something, in exchange for Ally's safety. Another thing, I started to use the horizontal lines! They keep my writing more organized. Also, thank you for all the reviews from the last chapter! 18! The more you guys review, the faster I will update!

Question of the Day:
When Austin and Ally kiss in the show (I know it will happen soon), how do you want it to happen?
