This is my first story so I'm really glad people like it. Also, I've been getting so many reviews! I didn't know getting reviews could feel so great! Thanks to all who enjoy my story. I hope to update as often as possible. This chapter is longer because I won't be able to update until the next weekend.

Chapter 4

Oh, how wrong I was! Now the only ones left in the entire school are Jesse, Alexis, Chazz, Syrus, Hassleberry, Axel, Atticus, and myself! I guess you're probably wondering how that happened. Well, as soon as we all turn our backs, we hear a scream and glance someone being dragged into the woods. Oh, no! Syrus!

"Syrus, hold on! Grab my hand!" Jesse desperately calls after him, but to no avail. He disappears like all the others.

"What are we supposed to do now?!" I scream, panicking.

"I think we should all hold hands and run to the Slifer Dorms." Jesse is taking charge. I think I can relax a bit now. "It's best if we don't get separated."

As usual, Chazz is being a pain. "There's no way I'm holding hands with you!" That is his ultimate mistake. Four minutes later, he's gone too. We are now huddling in a locked room with all the lights on and stored food surrounding us. How long will we be here?!

"This is really starting to bug me. We've been here for three hours and we have no plan!"

"Hassleberry's right. We still have no plan. Why are people disappearing anyway?"

"I-I don't know. Maybe it's another one of those 'I'm going to be the ruler of the world!' things."

Just then, someone breaks down the door with chains and boards all over it and grabs me!

"Help! Let go of me! Jesse! Don't let him take me!"

"Hang on, Jay! I got ya!" He grabs my hand but gets dragged away too. We end up blindfolded, hands tied behind our backs, and duct tape over our mouths. I think we're in a closet. Wait! What happened to everyone else?!

(Flashback)

"Jesse! Jaden!"

"Hey, you can't take them like that!"

"Ugh. Get off of me!"

"What are you doing?!"

"Ummph!"

"Sto-"

So, as you can see, everyone is caught and has been taken to wherever the others were taken. Jesse is next to me in a closet and it's starting to get hard to breathe. The door's opening.

"Alright, you two! Get up, now. The boss wants to see you." A gruff voice tells us and I feel myself being lifted up and the blindfold falls off. I see Jesse and we start to walk toward a building. We're in the woods. We're still tied up and the tape is still on, but we walk beside the man. He leads us to a dark room and pushes us in.

"Well, how do you do, Jesse?"

'That voice…It can't be!' Jesse panics but can't speak his thoughts.

"Long time no see, Jess."

I look and notice Jesse sweating and trying to say something. The man walks up to him and unties Jesse but leaves me to stand here wondering what's going on.

"Wyatt? What are you doing here and why did you kidnap everyone?" Jesse looks at him with disappointment.

I try to get their attention but they're just ignoring me. I wonder what's going on and how does Jesse know this guy?

"Well, after you left for Duel Academy, I started losing. We were the best duo duelists at North Academy until you left. I would have been one of the greatest duelists if you hadn't left me all alone there. I couldn't take the mockery and bullying anymore so I joined a gang and snuck onto this island. And here I am! I kidnapped everyone so you would notice me. This one over here, who is he? You seem awfully close with him." He gestured towards me.

Jesse walks over and unties me. He speaks clearly, "This is Jaden, my boyfriend. We were happy together until you came and practically emptied the whole school out." I look at him and then look to see how Wyatt reacts.

"You're with him?! That pathetic weakling? He doesn't even look good enough for you. Can he even win a duel?" He looks at me with contempt.

I was really hurt and I hoped Jesse would tell him to back off. Instead, he's looking down and not saying a word! What's going on?!

I start to cry and run off. I don't care what happens between them after I leave. I just want to get out of there before I get hurt even more.

(Jesse's point of view)

I look up and Jaden's gone. He ran off! Did I look like I was agreeing with Wyatt? I have to talk to him! I start to run out but Wyatt grabs my wrist and pulls me back.

"Let go of me! I have to find Jaden!" I try to wrench myself away from him but he's gotten stronger since I last saw him.

He pulls me closer to him and into a smothering kiss. I can't believe the nerve! He's actually kissing me when I clearly have a boyfriend!

"Ummph. Get off of me! You have no right to do this!" I shout, frantically trying to pry him off of me. What a time Jaden chose to come back.

"Jesse? What's he doing on top of you?" Jaden looks even more hurt than before.

"It's not what you think!" Great! I just chose that over-used phrase that makes the tears and running come! Why am I so stupid?! However, Jaden doesn't look hurt. He's actually looking sorry.

"I should have seen the hints you were trying to give me. I came back because I couldn't leave you alone with someone who could rape you. But, you don't seem to be resisting, so I'll just leave. I really am sorry I couldn't have made you happier."

"Jaden, wait!" I push Wyatt off of me and run to him. I pull him into an intimate kiss and pull away, slowly.

"It's okay, Jess. I know you're just trying to be nice. You really are caring. But, I want you to be happy. If you're happy with Wyatt, then so be it. You've known him longer than me and I'm sure he knows you a whole lot better than I do. I hope we can still be friends." He walks away from me, leaving me in tears and silence.

"Well, it looks like I have you all to myself. If you want, we can stay on the island. You don't have to go back to North Academy. They were just holding us back anyway."

"I don't want to be with you! I want Jaden! He's the one I want! I-"

"Shh. Don't be like that. Just think, you can have everything and anything you want. As long as you love me." He holds up some sort of collar and puts it on me. I feel everything going numb. I feel like I need... I need… Wyatt.

"That's right. Fall into my arms and just let me comfort you. You don't need him. All you need is me."

(Jaden's point of view)

On the upside, Jesse should be happy. I'm walking back to the Slifer Dorms when something hits me. The others still haven't returned! I run back to where Wyatt and Jesse were last and I can't believe what I see.

Jesse is in a really tight leather suit with all these buckles and it's completely black. He's just kneeling on the floor while Wyatt is humming and looking through a book.

"What are you doing to him?!" I shout.

"Oh, he's just under my control as long as he wears that collar."

"Why do you need to control him?!"

"Simply because I need to get some things done without him interrupting. Was he the dominant one with you? Well, I'm the dominant one with him. I have released the school faculty and students already. If you speak a word of what really happened, I will not hesitate to harm Jesse. Now, go and if you need anything from me, here's my contact disc." He tosses me something small and round. It's slightly gold but mostly silver. I'll check it out later. I have to make sure everyone's alright. I'll be back for Jesse when Wyatt lets his guard down.

"Hey, guys! Are you alright?" I call as soon as I see my friends.

"Yeah, we're fine. But, what happened?" Alexis asked.

"Well, I don't really know. I just saw you guys and came running over."

"Slacker, were you taken to where we were?"

"Um, actually, no. I escaped and started looking around for clues."

"Wait, where's Jesse?" Syrus noticed he's not here.

"He's- uh- I don't… really know. He wasn't with me when I got the blindfold off." I looked down and tried to act miserable. "He- I don't know where he is right now!" I start to cry, just to add to the mood and convince them.

"It's okay, Jaden. I'm sure he's fine. We'll find him, okay?" Alexis soothes, seemingly 'calming' me. If only they knew how much pain he must be in. I swear; I'm going to get that collar off of Jesse! "Wyatt won't know what hit him." I let a smirk out before I realize I said that out loud.

"Who's Wyatt?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Are you feeling okay?" I was suddenly bombarded with questions and ended up in a bed with Ms. Fontaine checking my temperature. Gosh, the worry that comes when you haven't seen your friends in a few days. But, I know I'll find Jesse when Wyatt's looking the other way and get that collar off. Even the submissive one in a relationship doesn't deserve to wear a nerve-controlling collar.
