A/N: We finally find out who was the kidnapped one – for those of you who are confused; only one person has been kidnapped up until this chapter.
Rachel
"Rachel?" I open my eyes slowly and look at the two people sitting beside me, one of whom was my best friend, both their hands in mine. I shake my head and look at them,
"I'm so sorry." I whisper, refusing to cry in front of them. It was my fault they're here and I couldn't even look them in the eye.
"What for?" I watch Quinn's face, she seems confused and I just shake my head,
"I attacked one of them, I made them mad and them taking you.. i-it was my punishment." I sat up slowly, ignoring the pain in my stomach and head as I did so.
"Rach, honey.. they would have taken us anyway. They knew exactly where we are, at what time and they knew we were going to be alone." I looked over at Kurt when he spoke, and Quinn just nodded,
"They had everything planned." She muttered,
"I'm still sorry.."
"There's nothing to be sorry for." Quinn wrapped her arms around me – and if we weren't in a cell, after just being kidnapped, I probably would have pulled away and asked what she had put in my hair or what game she was playing. But instead, I wrap my arms around her waist, willing myself not to cry.
"It's going to be okay, there must be a way out of this." I hold Kurt's hand as he hugs the both of us, all of jumping from another when we hear another voice in the room. "Stand up now!"
I look up at the three men in the doorway, unwrapping myself from Quinn, knowing better than to disobey them. Kurt was the first up, his whole body shaking as he thinks of the things that could happen to us. Quinn just bit down on her lip and stood up just after me. I cover my eyes when one of them turn on the light, unable to adjust my eyes as quickly as others in the room. I sigh as I slowly open them, taking time to look around the room.
"Now, how about you three decide between yourselves, who is going to die first?" I snap my head back at them and shake my head,
"You can't do that."
"We're the ones who make the rules here, Rachel. Now, you have one minute to decide." I look at Quinn and Kurt in panic, my eyes widen and my breath quickens. I can barely feel my heart as I think of one of them dying, one of them leaving me, I would rather die first than allow of them to.
I look at their faces, knowing they are thinking the same as me. None of us could see the other day – Quinn and I had never gotten along but I still wouldn't want to wish the girl a painful death. I feel my body shake under the immense and sudden pressure, and Quinn shook her head, "Are you okay?" I can feel her warm hand on my arm but then I feel nothing as I stare at the three evil men in front of me.
"You can't do this.." I cry, shaking my head, ignoring my two friends (I guess I can call Quinn that now, if we get out of this.. I'm sure neither of us will be the same again) as they try and stop me. "We haven't done anything to you, why are you doing this to us?" I take a step back and pull my friends with me. They were my family, Kurt was my best friend.. I couldn't let either of them die, not when it's my fault for getting them into this mess. I know for a fact there are more people up those stairs but I'm sure I could get past these and then the rest.
I stopped walking backwards, but only when we hit the wall. I let go of them both, clenching my fists in anger, I can't let them do this, I won't let them destroy my friends. "I would love to see you try and get out of this again, Rachel." I hate the way he says my name with so much venom and... desire?
I won't let them get hurt, I won't let this happen. And then before I know it, I'm running towards them, I can hear two of them shouting as I hit and punch one of them, I know I am asking for this.. it's a death wish but I still have a small amount of hope to cling to.
And then I hear a bang.
Two screams; and one of them is coming from me.
And then.. everything is a blur.
