Chapter 7

Phoebe POV

Surprise was an understatement. I never ever thought I would see Link again here in Hiddenville. It's been so long that I almost forgot about him, well not entirely. But I have gotten used to the idea of him not being around. His eyes were the first thing I saw, his cute ocean blue eyes. Those eyes were my weakness every time I saw him. His soft light brown blonde hair was my second weakness. I used to run my fingers through his hair back when we were dating. Ever since he moved to Hong Kong, I never expected to see him again.

"Link?" I asked astonished. "What… what are you doing here?"

"Hey Phoebe," he smiled sheepishly with his hands into his pocket. "I'm back from Hong Kong and I was hungry and yeah, I'm here now. How are you?" he asked.

"I'm good, and… and you?" I stammered, still taking the sight of him in. When did he came back from Hong Kong? Why didn't he tell him sooner, or did he just came back and was hungry? Link raised an eyebrow at me. 'My stammering is making me a fool, isn't it?' I can't believe he's back from Hong Kong, he looks better than ever. Much hotter, but that I don't have to say out loud.

"I'm good, are you okay?" he asked which made me blush a little. "You seem to stammer a lot," he added. Oh god I am making a fool out of myself of my stammering, but I'm just surprised to see him. And the fact that I almost fell was also the cause, but it was mostly him.

"I'm f…f…" I sighed, taking a quick deep breath. "I'm fine thanks, thanks for catching me though. That would have been a lot more embarrassing than my stammering," I said, which sounded a little silly to me. I quickly smiled at him, hoping he would just carry on with the conversation without any awkwardness although it's already awkward for me.

"I'm glad I did," he smirked which made my knees instantly numb. Oh God, he's still the cute guy I remembered. Why does he have to smirk? I stared into his eyes, immediately getting lost into it.

"Oh I missed that eyes so much," I said out loud which brought me back to reality, making me go red instantly. Why did I said that out loud? Oh I'm making such a larger fool out of myself. Can't I just act normal around him without embarrassing myself in the process?

"I missed you too," Link smiled.

"You did?" I asked astonished by his response. He missed me? Is that even possible?

"Yeah, that is part of the reason I came back," he said. 'Part? Is there another reason why he came back? I wonder what that reason is. Let me ask him'

"So what are you doing here?" Link asked changing the subject quickly which caught me off guard. Why did he changed the subject?

"Oh… I was looking for Max and then I got hungry and… you didn't perhaps saw Max somewhere?" I asked hoping for a small hint or that he saw him maybe.

"No," Link shrugged and shook his head. Where can Max be? I hope he's safe somewhere or already at home.

"Oh," I nodded playing with my hands.

"Did something happened between you guys?" Link asked.

"I don't know. That is what I'm trying to figure out," I lied. Telling the truth to Link was not an option. I can't tell anyone that I'm on a spy mission. I can't tell Link that I'm pretending to join the evil side. I know he would talk me out of it. But I have to do this, there's got to be a way. I can't break Cherry's relationship up. There has to be other ways that I can prove to Max I want to be like him to gain his trust.

"I can help you look for him?" Link suggested pointing out the door. But I turned it down as I didn't want Link to go any trouble just to look for my twin brother. I know Link and Max despise each other.

"No, it's okay. He's maybe just out somewhere and will probably go home," I hoped. Link nodded his head with a smile.

"Are you still hungry?" Link asked.

"Are you asking me out on a date?" I teased.

"Maybe," he smirked and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach again. I really missed him. He still looks like the old Link I remembered. I can tell he didn't change a bit since then, well that is what I'm hoping.

"Let's go get a table," Link said wrapping his arm around my shoulder as we looked for a seat.

Max POV

The pain in me was extreme, I could feel every pain in my body aching. I finally managed to get into a sitting position, it was more comfortable then laying on the ground. I was surprised by who the figure was. I never thought Link would turn evil? I winced as a sudden pain shoot throughout my body, causing me to cry. I have to get out of here, I have to get to Phoebe.

I tried to break the chains that was holding me back, but I didn't have enough strength to do it. It was made from titanium, and that I could tell. It didn't surprise me much, Link was after all clever in his own ways. I tried to use superpowers although on the back of my head I knew this room was super power proofed, but I had to try at least.

"Link!" I yelled with all the force I could get out of my voice. "Let me go!" There was complete silence, if a spelt was dropped, you would have perfectly hear it. I tried yet again to break the chains from my hands, but winced as a sharp pain hit me by my side. I grunted, trying to sit still for the pain to ease. My eyes were shut completely, slowly breathing in and out. Oh this is going to be tough to handle.

I was tired, maybe for not sleeping well. But for the situation I was in, I can't sleep. I have to get out of here. I looked around in the room, trying to figure out where I was. There was a small window on the other side of the room, but it was a small window. There was no light shining through it. Maybe a building was blocking the moon, a tall building. The lighting was bad, only one small bulb was hanging from the ceiling. The floor was covered in blood, mine I knew. I hope I didn't lose much blood from the kidnapping.

'Why did he send two goons to attack me, why couldn't he do it himself?' I thought remembering the encounter I had earlier. The goons attacked me by surprise, I didn't get the chance even to escape and before I even knew it, I was wacked against the head.

The pain against my head was extreme, the headache I had was dreadful. It pained everywhere. There was this throbbing on the side and the back of my head. I need to get some painkillers for this pain, otherwise I won't survive this through the night. But that was my situation, I have to get through the night without pain killers. Link won't give me that, why would he? He's evil now. He'll be happy to see me suffer through this pain.

My mind travelled to Phoebe, my twin sister, the one I like. I hope she's okay. If Link hurts her, I swear I would rip every inch of his body off. He better not try anything on her. Once I'm free here, I'm going to ruin his life. My plans with Dark Mayhem has to be on hold for now or it must be destroyed for the sake of my sister.

I sat in silence, examining the room carefully. There was really not much in this room. Where did he find this place even? But what bothered me the most was there was only one doorknob and it was the exit, and I wondered.

'Where am I going to pee?'

If I have to go, I have to go. No man can hold a pee. But in my condition, I doubt if I ever going to pee. I sighed softly, looking around the room. What did I get myself into? I should have known that text was just a scam. But no, Max Thunderman thought Dark Mayhem would text him. I looked down, closing my eyes. I really was tired, I miss my bed already. And for some reason I even miss Dr Colosso.

Phoebe POV

"Why are you so quiet?" Link asked as we were walking down my street. I was worried about Max, wondering if he was back at the house in his lair. With each step I took, my heart was pounding faster. It felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. I was really hoping he was in his lair, I was counting on my thought.

"Sorry," I sheepishly apologized looking staring at my feet as we walked. "I'm… I'm just worried about Max. I hope he's in his lair by now."

'I'm sure he is," Link answered smiling at me. I don't know why, but I eased up on his smile for some reason.

"Thanks, I'm just being silly, aren't I?"

"No," Link simply answered. "I think it's adorable that you care about your brother so much," he said which made my cheeks as red as a tomato.

"Aww, you're so sweet," I said still blushing. Link is still the same guy, why could Max not be like him? It will make my life so much easier and I wouldn't have to spy on Max then, plus President Kickbutt will not have to worry about Max then.

"We're here," Link said as we reached my house. I look at the house and smile at Link.

"Thank you for walking me," I said playing with my hands. "Do you want to come in for coffee perhaps?"

"No thank you, I should probably go home. There's something I need to do," Link said. I was a bit disappointed, but I couldn't show it so I just smiled and nodded my head.

"Bye Phoebe," he said as he gave me a kiss on the cheek as he left.

"Bye," I softly whispered watching how he walked away and disappeared around a corner. I took a deep breath as I reached the front door. 'Oh Max I hope you are here.' I immediately went to Max lair. Everyone was already asleep as no light was on. Each step of the stairs I took slowly as my heart rate was completely out of rhythm. I switched on the light.

"Max?" I softly called out. There was no answer. Max's bed was still neatly made. Dr Colosso's cage was still open, yet he was asleep. I didn't want to bother him. I looked around the lair, getting more worried than before. Where can Max be? He's not answering any of my calls or text messages. Maybe he will be here tomorrow, he has to be. I bit my lip as I look at the time and realised it was way past my bedtime.

I went to my room, typing one last message to Max. When I was in my room, I plugged my phone in the charger, putting it on the nightstand. I changed in my pyjamas and immediately went to bed. I switched off my light with my telekinesis and closed my eyes hoping I could fall asleep, but to no avail. I grabbed my phone, dialling Max's number one more time. But this time it immediately went to voicemail. I tried again, getting the same message. This made me even more worried than before.

'Where are you?' I softly whispered clutching my phone against my chest. 'Please be back in the morning'. I stared at the ceiling, after minutes – which felt like an eternity – I eventually fallen asleep.
