Hey guys I know its been a long time and this chapter is really short but I have lost my inspiration for this story which makes it really hard to write. That being said suggestions and comments on what you would like to see would be greatly appreciated.

Chapter 8

"I hope Cloud is ok," Emily said gazing out the window.

"Me to," Ben said joining her. He heard a soft thump and turned to see what it was but saw nothing so he turned back to the window. He heard it again but this time louder. When he turned he saw a large black figure looming over them. Ben's jaw dropped open and he grabbed Emily's shoulder in a speechless manner.

"What," she asked turning to see The Master looming over them.

"Hello children," he said with a voice that sent ice up their spines. "I only hurt your little… pet so that I could get rid of the adults for a while."

"That wasn't very nice, hurting Cloud like that," Emily said gathering her courage. The Master let out a chuckle and bent down so that his face was level with Emily's.

"My apologies, but at least I didn't kill her. That would be unnecessary anyway. She is a strong soldier. I could use someone like her."

"Cloud would never help you."

"So you think, but a little bit of torcher fixes everything," The Master said with a sinister sneer. Ben gulped and The Master turned to look at him. "I could use some kids like you. True at first you may be a bit reluctant to help me but over time you may warm up to me."

"If you take us you won't get very far," Emily said defiantly.

"So much bravery for someone so small." Just then the door came flying open and Nod, M.K., and Ronin came flying in. Ronin let loose an arrow that skimmed across The Master's arm. He let out a hiss and dissolved into a puddle. "Fine, if I can't have the children I'll take the wolf."

"Mom, dad, The Master is going after Cloud," Emily yelled.

"He's going to torcher her until she does what he wants," Ben finished. They all rushed out and back to the hospital. The only thing they found left from Cloud was bloody bandages.

"How are we going to get her back?"

Cloud was barely conscious when she was thrown into a cage.

"Either you will help me, or I will break you."

Cloud starred at the ceiling.

"Well I've been in worse situations."

"Well good luck getting out of this one." The Master laughed as he headed out of the room. A single tear ran down Cloud's cheek.

"I'm sorry guys."
