I left you all at a cliffhanger, didn't I? *Laughs evilly* Seriously, guys, thank you so much for supporting this story, but it's only just begun. You shall see what I mean, soon. For now, let's just hope that someone helps poor Riley before Brandon hurts her even more.

You all are probably wondering the following things:
Why isn't Zay helping out?
How did Brandon find Riley?
Where's Dave?
Well, Zay is... occupied. Brandon actually saw where Zay had taken Riley, but he didn't see what room he had put her in. Now, Dave is coming up in this chapter along with Charlie. Now, on with Chapter 16!

"Zay!" Riley screamed as everything started happening. Brandon punched her jaw, leaving yet another bruise on her porcelian face.

"No one can help you now, Riley!" Brandon screamed as he shut the door and locked it. Riley's eyes widened. She didn't think it would come to this. Someone had to rescue her, even if it wasn't immediately. She just hoped that he wouldn't hurt more than he already had.

"P-please, don't hit m-me anymore t-than you already h-have," Riley stuttered, threatening herself that if she showed any signs of vulnerability, Brandon would take it and have his way with her.

"You should've thought about that before you called Lucas, your knight in shining armor," Brandon replied as he drug Riley off the bed by her arm.

"NO! Please leave me alone!" Riley pleaded, not knowing that tears were already seeping out of her broken chocolate orbs. No one, not even Maya, had seen Riley like this.

"Shut up!" Brandon yelled as he back handed Riley, leaving a red mark on her left cheek. She now had four bruises on her face and a multi-colored black eye.

"Lucas will find me, and then he will hurt you for hurting me," Riley cried out, angering Brandon beyond all anger.

"If you don't shut up now," Brandon started as he gritted his teeth together, "this will hurt a lot worse than you would ever imagine." Now, Riley was beyond frightened. She needed help. She wanted help. She started to scream, but she was stopped by the unidentified cloth that clogged her mouth from speaking or uttering another sound or word. Brandon pulled out a shiny object that looked similar to a knife.

As Riley looked closer, she noticed that the object was a knife. Her eyes widened in horror. He was going to kill her! She tried removing the cloth from her mouth, but her hands were now tied behind her back.

"This will only hurt a lot," Brandon laughed evilly as the blade appeared. Riley started crying again. She looked up and prayed to God that someone would save her from this psychopath.

Lucas's View

As Lucas put the chloroform into his pocket, he felt his phone vibrate. It was a text from Zay.

Hey, Lucas man! I know where Riley is!

Lucas was ecstatic. But he received a message moments later.

If I tell you, you have to come alone..

Lucas replied back almost immediately.

That's great, Zay! Where is she? And I'll come alone!

Lucas put the phone in his pocket and looked back at his friends and his girlfriend's parents. They all looked, well, distressed. Maya's eyes were bloodshot from crying along with Topanga's, and Cory's fists were white as snow. Farkle was finally confused. So, this had all affected them. After what felt like forever, Lucas's phone buzzed once again.

She's at the old hotel on Wall Street. It's called Wall Street Inn and Suites.

Lucas breathed a sigh of relief as he finally knew the location of his other half. Yes, she completed him. He may be too young to fall in love, but he knew for sure that he was in love with Riley Elizabeth Matthews. He would always be in love with her.

Thanks man! I owe you one!

Lucas rushed over to the group with a wide smile.

"Hey, Huckleberry, what's with the big smile?" Maya asked as she held on to Farkle's hand. Lucas had to make up an excuse. Oh wait!

"I found a clue!" Lucas exclaimed as he reached into his pocket and pulled out the chloroform cloth. They all gasped in horror.

"Lucas! Where did you find this?" Cory exclaimed as he jerked the cloth out of Lucas's hand and examined it. Sure enough, there was lipstick on the cloth.

"It was under our bench, Mr. Matthews," Lucas said as he became quiet. He had to make an excuse to go get Riley.

"Why so quiet, Mockingbird?" Maya joked, but in a serious way.

"I'm going to run downtown and get this to forensics," Lucas lied as he held out his hand for the chloroform. Cory handed it to him unwillingly.

"Where do you plan on going afterwards?" Cory questioned. Lucas wanted to make a joke, but it wasn't the appropriate time.

"I'll look around town for more clues," Lucas lied once again. As he finished his sentence, he ran out of the park all the way to Wall Street. A few people gave him questioning looks as he passed them, but he shook it off as he rushed to his girlfriend. He was going to murder whoever took her from him.

Riley's View [Be prepared for extreme torture, just in case :)))]

"Hold still," Brandon commanded as he grabbed her wrist and put the blade to it. Riley screamed into the cloth that was holding her back from speaking.

"You want to say something?" Brandon asked as he lightly slit Riley's wrist. Riley's eyes released the tears that were being held back by a dam of some sort. Brandon grabbed Riley's other wrist and lightly slit it. As they bled, Brandon put away the knife and untied Riley. He still didn't remove the cloth. As he went to pick Riley up, Zay, Dave, and Charlie broke down the door. Brandon had Riley in his arms with her wrists bleeding and her face swollen.

"Put her down, Brandon," Zay said lowly. Brandon laughed a little.

"And what are you going to do about it, Babineux?" Brandon asked the dark skinned boy. Zay looked down and smiled as he and the other boys smiled.

"We aren't going to do anything about it," said the three boys in unison, "but he will." Brandon looked up as he met a pair of emerald green eyes filled with pools of rage. The set of eyes belonged to none other than Lucas Friar.

Stuff is about to get real, ya'll! I think this should satisfy all of you waiting people. I would say all of you impatient people, but you all are just anxious, just like I am. Honestly, I don't know where this chapter came from, but I like it! I hope you do too!
