I am so sorry. First I got grounded, then our internet got all messed up, and then I missed a day at school so I had to make up a billion things. Hope you like the chapter. Please review

I quickly went back to the table. "Hey, is everything okay?" Brian asked me. I remembered that Alek was watching us and tried to force a smile on my face before I answered.

"Yeah, it was just Amy." I lowered my voice to make sure the Alek didn't hear. "But I do need to go. I'm so sorry." If I went through the back door, maybe I could lose Alek long enough to go after Scarface. I heard Brian call my name and hoped that Alek didn't hear, but continued moving. Once outside, I ran.

It took around ten minutes to reach the building Scarface told me to meet him at. It was a broken down warehouse that probably no one has been in for years. He probably picked the setting because of that; didn't want to get interrupted.

I paused in front of one of the broken window, thinking that maybe I should call Alek and wait for him. It was almost suicidal to continue on without back up. I knew I couldn't take him by myself, but if I brought someone with me, he might take it out on my mother.

I jumped through the window and stood up. It was dark, probably too dark for any human eye, but I could see. I quickly looked around, and didn't see anything suspicious. Then, I felt something hard hit my head, and blacked out.

The first thing I felt when I regained consciousness was the enormous amount of pain in my head. The next thing was the chains. Chains were tightly tied up my entire body.

"Chloe," When I moved my head to look for the voice, the searing pain increased. I was able to look around a little though. Boxes covered the entire warehouse except on my left, there was a pool. One shove and I'd be dead.

I thought about the nightmare that has been haunting my dreams for a few days now. What was happening right now was so similar to the dream, that I almost lost it right there. I thought about what Valentina said, and on the differences of what was going on now from the dream, and reasoned that it wasn't actually the dream.

"Where's my mother?" I demanded. I can't believe how stupid I was to go in without backup. After some attempts to struggle out of the chains, I realized that it was pointless.

"Who said that I harmed her?" It was all a trick to get me here. My mother was never in any danger. A part of me was relieved that she was okay, another part just wanted to give him a matching scar to the one he had. "Now to the fun part," He grinned sadistically

"Every time you come back to life, you'll try to breathe only to breath in more water and slowly die again. It's probably the most efficient way for you to die over and over." He looked so confident, that I lost hope right there, I wasn't going to make it out alive. "Where are the protectors now? " Without another word, he pushed me in.

I wanted to scream as soon as I hit the water, the chill instantly going to my bone. I quickly sank to the bottom, and no matter how much I struggled against the chains, they stayed put. It was hopeless trying to swim, but I didn't know what else I could try. I couldn't move out of the chains, screaming wouldn't help, and whatever head injury I acquired was really hurting.

Finally, I couldn't take it; I had to breathe. I gasped for breath, only to breathe in water. And not to long after that, I felt myself starting to black out.

Alek POV

I was watching Chloe on the roof when I saw her head off to the back. At first, I thought she was going to the bathroom or something, but then Brian paid the bill and was starting to leave. After jumping off the roof, I managed to catch up with him and when he was exiting the door.

"Brian," I stopped him.

"Alek," He responded coolly. "What do you want?"

"Where's Chloe?" I looked around everywhere and didn't see her.

"She got a call around five minutes ago, and suddenly took of like she was in trouble." She would call me if she was doing something dangerous, right? I dismissed that idea in a second. Of course she wouldn't.

The dream was in a warehouse, so would it still be in a warehouse for life? I glanced around to ask Brian a question, but he was already gone. When I dialed Chloe, it went straight to voicemail. "Damn it." Then I dialed Jasmine and luckily she answered on the first ring.

"Alek, what's up?" She sounded happy, and I hated to ruin it for her, but if Chloe was really gone, I didn't have a choice.

"Where are you?" I demanded.

"Derek and I are driving to try to meet Chloe at the coffee place. What's wrong? Is Chloe okay?" Her voice had immediately changed.

"I don't know where she is. According to Brian she took off quickly after a phone call."

"How long ago?"

"A little over five minutes ago. We need to find her. What if the dream-"

"Where are you?" She interrupted.

"I'm at the coffee place."

"We'll be there in a minute." I could hear the acceleration of the car over the phone. Less than a minute later, I saw the car rushing by.

"Go to the abandoned warehouse." I told them as I climbed into the back. Derek didn't wait for the door to close before he stepped on the gas.

"Tell us what happened." Jasmine turned around to look at me.

"She was in the coffee place with Brian, and then she left. I thought she was just going to the bathroom, but then a few minutes later, Brian paid and started to leave. I caught up to him and he said that she left after she got a phone call." I tired to explain quickly.

"Could she be with Amy?" Jasmine asked hopefully.

"Brian said that she looked trouble. And when I tried calling her, it went straight to voicemail."

"Maybe something was wrong with Amy, and she turned off her phone so she didn't get interrupted?" Jasmine didn't look like she believed that.

"And snuck out the back door of the coffee place? The one place I couldn't see her exit from?" I had to admit that was kind of smart. "Something's wrong, and my guess is that Scarface called her with a threat of some sort. We both know her well enough to know that she would go anywhere in a second if she thought Amy or Paul were in trouble. It's happened before."

"What's the plan?" Derek spoke for the first time. When we didn't answer, he clarified. "What are we going to do when we get there?" I realized that Jasmine and I never talked about what we were doing, it was always the same. Jasmine would take care of the threat, and I would go help Chloe.

"We'll deal with Scarface, and Alek will go get Chloe out of there." Jasmine answered him right as he pulled to a stop. "Alek, go through the window over there," She pointed over to a window near the side of the warehouse. "We'll go through the one on the opposite side. On my signal, we'll go in."

We all got out of the car and ran quietly to the windows. When I glanced at the broken window, I saw a piece of ripped off blue fabric. It was Chloe's.

I looked over to Jasmine, she held up three fingers, and slowly put them down to one, then we charged.

Scarface was standing by a pool of water in the warehouse, grinning. As soon as we came in, his grinned faded and he pulled out a knife. Jasmine and Derek rushed towards him. I ran over to the pool and saw Chloe chained up at the bottom, unconscious.
