Ava Barnes

Caught

I raised my hands up and looked at James. A cop came over and grabbed James and was being really rough with him.

"Hey don't gotta be so rough!" I shouted in anger.

They put him in a glass cell and locked him down pretty tight.

"Can I ride with him?" I pleaded, "Please."

"Alright fine. Get in" The cop responded.

I climbed in next to James' cubical cell thing. I glanced at him. He looked like he was anxious.

"Hey it's okay." I smiled.

James looked at me.

"Are you okay doll?" He replied.

"Yeah I'm okay." I told him.

"Don't worry we'll get out of here." I smiled.

He smiled back.

We arrived and they unloaded us. As we were being escorted in I saw my dad and Sam in a conference room.

"Ava!!" My father yelled.

"It's okay dad! I'm going in with James!" I yelled back

My dad looked at me worried.

They put James in a different room than me. As they separated us I nodded at James out of reassurance. I sat in the room rocking myself. When all of a sudden the power went out.

"James?" I called out.

I heard him yelling. I got up and started banging on the door.

"James!" I yelled.

I kicked the door so that it fell. When I heard glass shatter. I ran to a room and started banging on the door.

"Let me in!!" I screamed.

I heard a man. He was speaking a different language. I didn't realize what it was until I heard James scream.

"No!!!! What are you doing!!" I screamed louder.

It was silent. I listened for noise. And then the door burst open. James was standing out of his cell. He looked at me with a menacing glare.

"James?" I said confused.

He walked towards the door past me and stood around the corner. I heard my dad call out when all of a sudden a hand was over my mouth. I tried to yell out but I couldn't. I kicked the guy in his leg and freed myself.

"Dad! In here!" I called out.

My dad walked in and Sam was behind him. They didn't see James there.

"Where is Buck?" My dad asked concerned.

"Rig--" I started to say.

James went crazy. He threw Sam across the room. My dad tried to stop him too. They were hitting and pushing each other.

"James stop!" I yelled.

James turned and looked at me. He smirked. And then turned back to my dad and shoved him into the elevator shaft.

"No!" I yelled.

I ran to the shaft and peered down.

"You okay?" I yelled.

"Yeah I'm fine!" He grunted, "Follow him, you can stop him!"

I ran after James. When I got to the bottom of the stairs everyone was trying to fight him off. I saw my mom straddling his shoulders. He slammed her down into a table and was choking her. I ran up behind him and grabbed him by his hair and pulled him off of her.

"James what has gotten into you!" I yelled at him.

He made eye contact with me. Then headed for the stairs.

"Why didn't he try to hurt you?" My mom shouted.

"I don't know. He wouldn't hurt me though." I replied.

I went after him again. I saw T'challa fighting with him. T'challa was pushing him towards the rail. He fell to the floor in front of me.

"James come on we gotta get you out of here" I whispered.
