AN: I'm so so sorry over how long it's been since I last updated.

I have no excuse, I've been trying to write whilst I have the time, but at the moment time is the only thing that I don't have. Sixth Form is so much harder than IGCSE's and I'm working really hard to keep my grades up, therefore updates will be slow.

I hope that you think the story is worth waiting for.

As always I appreciate feedback and your welcome to e-mail me at the following address rockchick134hotmail(dot)com.

Oh God. I'd only been gone a few seconds, a minute or two at the most and Derek, Derek was lying on the floor with his hands tied together and a rapidly swelling eye. I opened my mouth to scream again but the air was trapped, I couldn't scream, nothing would come out. Panic flooded my body, I could feel everything. The blood pounded around my body, I could feel it pulsing in my ears, the hairs on the back of my neck were erect, everything was so vivid...

Time seemed to stop as my eyes flickered around the room, trying in vain to take everything in. Muscleman was pushing Derek towards the door, his hands were tied behind his back but it was his eye that worried me. It was badly swollen and blood oozed from a cut just under his eyebrow.

I tried to move towards Derek but my feet were stuck, I couldn't move, I couldn't think. The blood pounded through my body, I could hear it rushing through my ears. My heart felt like it was being clenched in the palm of someone's hands, my breaths got shallower and shallower until all I could hear was my own wheezing. The air just wasn't coming through...

My vision was sprinkled with black dots and before I could take another breath my world went black.

AN: I know it's short, but I thought that it worked better this way. So because this was so short you should expect chapter 5 with the next 2 weeks or so =D

Hope you all enjoyed it...
