So I'm currently fangirling so much over Luke Hemmings' singing voice so I'm just in a writing mindspace right now while I put Luke on repeat. This chapter is dedicated to mlialover123! Who do you think this Eppie guy is? Leave a comment!


"Belle? Bella, wake up." Jack gently shakes my shoulder. I turn to look at him and blink a couple of times.

"Five more minutes..." I moan and roll back over.

"No, Belle!" Jack whispers and shakes my shoulder harder. I turn to look at him again.

"What? What's wrong?" I ask.

"Where the hell is Alfie?" He asks. I sit up too quickly and lie down again.

"Ahh!" Jack strokes my head and leans down to kiss my forehead. "Alfie's out. They raised another thousand while the rest of you were sleeping..."

Jack lets out a big sigh, "I hoped that's where he went. Why didn't you go?"

"Because, I know you wouldn't have left and I'm not leaving you here, Jack." I say. I sit up and wrap my arms around Jack's waist, resting my head on his stomach.

"Are you scared, Belle?" Jack whispers.

"No..." I say, then sigh. "Fine, yes... Are you?"

"I'm scared they're gonna hurt you." Jack says. I look up at him and a tear escapes my eye. "Don't cry! Please don't cry!" He sits me up and wraps his arm around my shoulder, letting my cuddle into his arm. "I swear I won't let them hurt you..."

"I miss Zoe." I say, Jack looks at me.

"Your bff or Zoe Sugg?" He asks. I smile a little and raise my eyebrow. "Your bff, Zoe. I knew that."

"How do you think they're getting the word out there?" I ask.

"About the thousand dollars per person? TV, anyway they can." Jack says.


"Get the hell up!" Marty growls as the door is kicked open. Everyone groggily stands and rubs their eyes. "We're splitting you all up. Half of you will stay here and the other half with go with Pixel and I to another room. I ain't keeping count of who's here and who's not. Who are you?"

"Jack, Caspar, Troye, Tyler, Joe, Marcus, Belle and I." Finn explains.

"Right, well Jack, Tyler, Joe and you, guy are coming with me."

"No, I'm not leaving Bella here." Jack says, standing up. Marty turns to look at him and raises his eyebrows. "I-I'm not leaving Belle here."

"You're leaving the Princess or you're leaving this earth." Marty says. I gasp and Jack stops talking. I hug him, giving him a kiss before they leave. "Peregin and Wyatt will be here if you even attempt to escape." Jack fights every time he can to come back and hug me but soon Pixel has got Jack's hands behind his back and is pushed him along. Marty slams the door shut again. I turn around and lie down on the mattress again, staring at the wall.

"Bella?" Troye whispers. I don't reply, I stay staring at the wall. "They won't hurt him..."

"How do you know they won't? How do we know they're not going to hurt anyone?"

"Cause we've raised it to one thousand five hundred." Peregin chuckles, opening the door and striding in. "And one of you is going now. Two minutes."

"Troye should go." Tyler says.

"No, Tyler should go." Troye says to Marcus, Caspar and I.

"One of you should go and then the other can go when they get the next thousand five hundred." Caspar suggests. Tyler and Troye look at each other.

"Girl, I'm not leaving here until you're gone and safe." Tyler sasses. Troye rolls his eyes and stands up.

"I don't want to leave you all here." He says. "What do I do out there?"

"Call your family, call your friends, tell them you're okay, tell anyone we're okay." Marcus states. Troye nods and then Peregin is back.

"Goodbye guys..." Troye calls out to us, waving as he's led away.

"Where do you think they've taken the others?" I ask.

"Hopefully somewhere with comfier beds." Caspar jokes making us all laugh a little.
