Sam's POV
"Sam!" Melanie banged her fists against my door. "Sam! Please, open the door!"
"What's going on?" I asked. I was puzzled at her sudden cry for help. She was usually 'too smart to ask for any help' from me. "Why must you call for me when I'm doing something important?"
"What are you doing?" she snapped out of her panicky state. "Writing a list of who you should bully next?"
My eyes darted from left to right, "You don't know everything..."
"Anyway," she went back to her panicky state. "Freddie's in trouble."
I froze at the mention of his name. "What? Wait, your boyfriend's in trouble and you're asking me for help?"
"This isn't the time to be proud that your almighty sister is asking for your help!" she exclaimed. "Freddie's in serious danger!"
Well, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity where my perfect elder sister is asking for my help; why not take the offer when it's banging on your door? Literally.
So, I followed Melanie as she ran breathlessly while I caught up with effortlessly. I wasn't paying much attention to my surroundings, so I didn't quite remember how we ended up where we were. As we reached our destination, Melanie gestured for me to enter first.
"I'm sorry," Melanie mumbled as I felt a blow on my shoulder. Then, everything was black...
... SEDDIE FTW ...
"Sam," I heard a voice somewhere around me. "Sam, are you okay? I am so sorry..."
I opened my eyes and rubbed it as I tried to clear the blurry vision from my eyes. A blonde girl stood in front of me. It was her. My twin sister.
"What's going on? Why am I here?" I asked, then I recalled what happened. "Wait, were you the one who hit me on my shoulder?"
Melanie placed a hand on my shoulder as if to reassure me as I winced in pain. She withdrew her hand, seeming ashamed of her actions. "I'm so sorry, I had no choice. I... I,.. Freddie is in danger."
"Isn't that why I came here?" I asked the obvious.
"His life is in danger, a whole lot of danger," she continued as she started to panic again. "He's been abducted by Pete and if he goes against Pete's wishes, he may be killed."
"Killed?" I asked, to confirm what I was hearing. "Then... he should just go by Pete's commands. That's nothing wrong..."
Melanie sighed. "Sam, don't you get it? Pete is vicious! His goal has always been revenge! And the target of revenge is Freddie!"
"What?" I was shocked. "Why?"
"I'll fill you in with the details later, but the main problem is that no matter which path Freddie chooses, he will suffer."
"What do you want me to do? I can't do anything to help him. Besides, I no longer feel anything for him since he messed up my life. Why should I even care about this jerk?" I stated the obvious.
Melanie placed both her hands on my arms as she looked into my eyes with hers. "Because you do care."
I shook my head in response. "Nope. What made you think I would still care for the guy who broke my heart and betrayed my trust?"
"Because he didn't. I was the one who put him through this. I never knew Pete would try to harm Freddie! I thought all he wanted was to be with you, and I would be with him!" her eyes were rimmed with tears. "It's all my fault. If I never agreed to help Pete, this would never have happened!"
I wasn't the type to feel sympathy for people, but her words really seemed so... sincere and genuine.
"It's okay," I tried to comfort her. "Everything would be alright. I'll help you and your boyfriend. No worries."
"He's not my boyfriend," she looked at me with her red puffy eyes. "He's yours. I've seen the look he had on his face when he sees you and how he would praise you in front of me as if you were a perfect goddess. He's your boyfriend, Sam. I don't deserve him."
"Listen," I held on to her arms as she did a few minutes ago. "We're going to save life and kick butt. After that, we can talk about who owns him. But right now, it's time for the ultimate life-saving mission."
... SEDDIE FTW ...
Freddie's POV
I have been kept here, on this chair for a few hours and my butt has become so numb that even if I was released right now, I can't actually stand up. Pete was sat right in front of me at a desk where he examines the book's contents.
"When are you letting me go?" I asked him harshly. "I've been kept here for more than twelve hours and all I had was a sandwich for brunch. When will I ever get my dinner?"
He sat up and glared at me. "Who said I was going to give you dinner?"
"But I would starve to death," I stated. "And you would never get your goal."
He scratched his chin as he thought about it. "Okay, I'll get Melanie to fetch you dinner later. But first, we'll have to wait for your precious little ex-girlfriend to arrive."
As he said that he grinned and smirked. He was such an overconfident jerk that nothing seemed to frighten him.
Half an hour has passed. No, I wasn't so bored that I counted the time that went past. There was a clock mounted on the wall and it said 9:48. Oh man, I usually have my supper at this time, but now, I haven't even had dinner! I am so in for torture.
Just then, my greatest source of problems (and source of food) came by the door as she brought her sister along. When I took a closer look, Sam was in the same situation as me. She was tied up on a chair with ropes and stuff, but she has a ball of cloth in her mouth to prevent her from making any comments.
"Pete," Melanie placed her sister down. "I've brought her here as you wanted."
I never knew Melanie was so strong. Perhaps she learned some new moves from Sam or something. But still, who would have thought that she would be strong enough to tie her own sister up without any resistence?
Sam looked from me to Pete and back to me again. She seemed to be unknown of the situation she was in. Pete came from behind the table towards Sam. He stroked her chin as she glared at him while trying to escape from his touch.
"Since everyone is here," he grinned. "Let the games begin..."
