Hello! Shadowmistx98 here! :)

"Please… Hurry…" Maka closed her eyes.

"So, in this case we are pursuing your son who kidnapped this kids' friends?" the police officer as he jotted down notes. The mother nodded.

"Then where is that girl's parents'?" he asked.

"She lives alone, her parents work out of the country…" Soul answered.

"But I'm a friend of her parents, I'll call to notify them" Black Star said, reassuring the officer. Black Star sighed. Black Star excused himself as he called. He always had their number since they were his neighbor when they were still young. Soul sighed.

"I see…" the officer said. "Then there is no time to waste… Let's go… Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay, please lead the way to the suspected place…" he said as the couple went in the first police van.

"Please, one more thing… Don't hurt our son once he is proven to be the one who kidnapped her…" Mrs. Ramsay said. The officer nodded.

"But I can't promise anything… If this child of yours doesn't take the threat of guns seriously or is able to hurt the victim then we have no choice…." he added. The couple sighed and shook their heads silently.

Black Star came back.

"What did they say?" Soul asked.

"They were pretty worried… I even think her father broke my eardrums…" Black Star paused as he cleaned his right ear with his pinky finger. "They'll call again or I'll be the one if the operation is successful…" he continued. Soul growled as the boys got in the second van. The girls were on the third and last van. Behind them were an ambulance.

"Hang on, Maka….. We're almost there…" Soul closed his eyes and prayed that Maka is safe within Carlos' hands.

Maka had opened her eyes again after thinking what she'll do to escape. She looked around. Thank goodness it was daylight. She saw things clearly. She turned her head to her bag and saw a shelf that her hands can reach through moving the chair. She slowly moved her legs to push backward to reach it. When she reached it she opened it. She saw a sharp object that is capable of cutting the ropes tied to her. Hastily she cut the rope tied to her hands and soon her body. Then she moved her body down to cut the ropes on her legs. After that she was free. She hurriedly opened the door to escape. But when she opened the door, there stood in front of her Carlos.

"You think you can escape that easily?" Carlos smirked and pushed her to the wall.

"Urgh! Let me go!" Maka shouted at him.

"Hate to break it to you, but you're already mine…" he chuckled. Then a siren alarmed and caught the both of them off guard. Carlos looked at a door as the siren went on and on. Maka took the chance and kicked him in the spot.

"Argh!" he knelt on the ground and Maka ran out of the door. She looked around. She was in the living room. She carefully chose the door she'll go out because she wasn't familiar with the place. She took the door on her front. Wrong choice, she went in the room of the staircase. She looked back and saw Carlos getting up ready to chase her. No time in turning back, she rushed upstairs and ran and ran. Carlos sweated as he regained his posture. He took a knife and ran after Maka.

Maka climbed the circular stairs. It's good that she was used to it but it was a long run. It was a mansion. An abandoned one.

"Maka~! Come out, come out where ever you are!" Carlos sang as he slowly climbed the stairs. Maka gulped and stopped on the 3rd floor. There were three doors. Man, this isn't the time to decide! She quickly went to the first door. Locked.

"Maka! I'm just warning you! No matter how much you run, you'll still end up with me! You don't this house, so if I were you, I'd surrender! HAHAHAHA!" Carlos' voice echoed from downstairs. Maka tried the second door. Darn! It's still locked!

"Maka~!" he called out again. She hoped that the third door was open and luckily it was. She opened it and it was a small tight bed room. She quickly locked the door and switched the lights on. She searched for a possible weapon against Carlos and found a hard baseball bat. She hid in the dark corner where she is invisible to his sight. A tear fell in her eye as she waited.

"Maka! I know you're in there! Come out! No use in hiding!" he called out, then a loud bang from the door came upon her ears. Carlos was trying to bang the door open.

"Open up!" another bang. Maka glanced at it and saw that it was nearly broken. How did he do that? He really is bonkers.

"I'm here!" his voice became clearer as the door flew open. Maka squeezed her eyes shut but opened it hurriedly. She felt Carlos patrol the room. She sweated as she waited for the right moment to strike. Another siren alarmed making Carlos look at the window. Maka ran to him and hit him on the head and the torso.

"Argh!" Carlos was able to swing his knife making a large wound across Maka's right arm.

"Ah!" Maka quickly kicked him again and ran down stairs.

"MAKA!" Carlos angrily shouted from the room as Maka got down. She went back to the living room and closed the door from where she entered earlier. She pushed the side table to block the door and went to the other door. Luckily, it was the right door outside. She now heard the siren clearly and looked at her surroundings. There were only full of tall grasses. She didn't see any houses.

"Argh! Maka! Don't you dare leave!" Carlos said as he tried to push the door open but it was hard for him because it was blocked by the table. Maka panted and ran through the tall grasses. She groaned in pain as the grasses brushed against her wounded arm, but it didn't make her stop from running.

"HELP!" Maka shouted. She stopped as she went in a space where there are no grasses. She heard footsteps but not from her back but her front.

The police led the way, armed. Soul and the others followed on the back.

"HELP!" they heard from up ahead.

"That must be Maka! We must hurry!" Liz said to the police. They rushed to move forward and soon they were in a place where there weren't tall grasses. They saw a helpless, wounded girl with messy hair in front of them. Maka's eyes widened and she slowly smiled.

"Maka!" Soul was about to run to her and Maka was too when Carlos appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Maka from behind wrapping his arm around her neck and pointing a blade on her throat. The police pointed their pistols at him but couldn't shoot.

"Gah!" Maka almost choked. Soul stopped and glared at him. The girls gasped.

"CARLOS, LET GO OF HER!" Black Star shouted. Soul closed his fists tightly and forcibly.

"Let go of the girl now!" the police officer shouted.

"You expect me to do that?" Carlos chuckled. "Carlos, please!" her mother pleaded catching his attention.

"Mom? Dad? What are you-?" his eyes widened. "Please! Let go of her now!" his father said. Carlos gritted his teeth.

"You are surrounded! There's nowhere else to run to! Let go of the girl and I assure you, everything will be fine!" the police officer tried to negotiate with him again.

"Let go of her, and there will be no harm done!" the officer said again. He growled.

"Please… J-just l-let m-me go…" Maka said under her breath. Soul was near the two.

"Carlos… don't make this harder… Let go of Maka!" Soul whispered but loud enough to make him hear. Carlos snickered. He then whispered to Maka.

"Sorry but… If I can't have you…" he then pushed Maka forward releasing his grip on her. Maka almost tripped.

"Maka!" Soul started to run to her. Maka turned to face Carlos who has his arm raised with the knife. Maka didn't have the chance to run because it was too fast.

"Then no one will!" Carlos shouted. All she could do was close her eyes and expect the pain about to come to her. But she felt nothing. All she heard was a thud on the ground and the police officer shouting.

"FIRE!" then a gunshot was heard and Carlos' shout.

"Police!" she heard footsteps coming their way and cuffing someone. Maka opened her eyes and saw Carlos shot on the leg groaning in pain with the officers carrying her. But that didn't make her surprise. Her eyes widened in front of her. Tears began to form in her eyes.

Blood.

Lots of Blood.

Ok, I'm going to upload 2 chapters here since I made them yesterday. Why? Because we have no internet yesterday...

Please review on this chapter and tell me what you think. Hope you liked this chapter (I don't think so cause somebody got hurt...) But I gotta admit, I like the chase scene here...
