The Diary Journey

Chapter 19: Jack's Plan

Jackson's Pov:

I walk slowly to Hiker with a tray of grapes on it. I am not a servant, I'm a fighter. I continue walking as I hear the clanking of the chains. I sit in the chair beside the throne and look at him. Hiker smirks at me as he thinks he can get a kiss from me.

"You know, I can release you from those chains, if you just don't try to run away again or hit me." He speaks up. I roll my eyes and give him a death glare.

"Over my dead body," I reply to his comment. He grabs the chains on my hands and pulls me closer to him.

"I can arrange that darling, but I need all of you and your friends alive," He tells me. His breath reeks of fish and garlic. It makes me want to puke. Hopefully, my plan worked.

"Hiker! Hiker! The alien is gone!" A man of his yells. I smirk as I watch Hiker stand up and looks at the guard. I see the key on his throne and grab it. I unlock my chains and grab the tray.

I see a guard on my left and wack him in the face with it. I run to the gates dodging or hitting whatever guard gets in my way. Out of nowhere though, I feel a blade against my neck. I stop for a minute and look behind seeing it's Gigi holding the sharp dagger against my neck.

I was soon push to the ground as I see Hiker's face filled with rage. I feel myself tremble as I feel the chains slam on to me again.

"You insolent girl!" Hiker yells at me as he slaps me across the face. I fall to the ground as I look up at him. "Two days left and you had to disobey rules! I should just kill you right now!" He yells at me more. "But lucky for you, I won't kill you," he says calmly. "Instead, I will just lock you in your room for awhile," he finishes.

I was soon drag to my room by two guards. At least I know Echo got out and is going back to the others.

Emma's Pov:

I clean Jack's room since no one wants to. I pick up all her picture frames and everything. I pick up a photo of the gang when we all sat in Alex's backyard. Then, another picture of us as we all look up at the sky from the treehouse. I smile at all these memories and it just reminds me of what went down when we were in peace. I pick up all the other pictures and took them out of the frames since they are broken.

I hear a beep boop and look out the window. I see the little creature I haven't seen in two weeks. I smile as I run out into the driveway of Jack's. I see Echo run around quickly as he just flies around. I soon remember something and signal Echo to come back to the ground.

I look at the tree house as the whole gang is out here. Echo is all we look at since it's strange he's back, but not Jackson. I stand up and go to the podium and smile.

"Okay, guys. Echo is back and he has a message from Jackson," I speak up and sit back down next to Tuck and Munch.

Echo opens himself up which is shock to us since we never knew he can do that. The video starts as it shows Jack in chains and in jeans and a shirt.

"Hey guys. Probably wondering why you guys only see Echo and not me. Echo and I came up with a plan, well technically me, not him. The first phase in my plan was to get Echo out of the area without Hiker not knowing, then me escaping. Well, you probably can tell my plan didn't work. Phase two is you guys have the fake journals. The real ones are on display in a museum and I know this is short notice, so good luck. The journals are located in the State Museum. It's hard to get in, but I have a friend there who can help you guys. And Alex, don't start trouble with that friend again. Phase three is to get the journals and helplessly give the journals up to Hiker. After that, he will lock you guys up and then, I will break you out, once I make him believe that he has my trust. I will explain the rest when you guys get here. Remember, two days left guys!" Jack talks to us and disappears. Echo closes back.

"So we have to go to the Museum and who is this friend?" Munch asks. We all look at Alex and he sighs.

"Kyle Sattan, and you guys got to go alone since if I go, he will start asking me questions and I will get pissed off he says that one thing that got me pissed off last time and suspended for the whole basketball season," Alex response.

I hate Kyle to be honest. He hits on every girl who has a boyfriend and he especially hitted on Jack and I every day. He would never even care if Tuck or Alex was with us.

"That quarterback is a dumbass anyways. He thinks he is some big shot just 'cause he got into a real football team," Tuck speaks up.

"He hates all of us except Emma and Jackson," Munch points out.

"Well, we are all going and Alex, along with Tuck, will not start trouble. Neither will you Munch. Understand boys?" I ask them carefully. They all nod and sigh. "Good, we leave now. We take Alex's van and it's settled. Let's go boys," I demand them.

We all sit in the as we listen to People Like Us by Kelly Clarkson. I hum to the sound and each line. This song always made me smile when I heard this since it helped me realize people had the same problem as us. I soon hear the music stops and look out the window. I see the Museum and follow the guys to go inside.

We walk tot he front desk and I ring the bell. The place wasn't empty, which is kinda bad. I look and see a guy smirking as he walk towards me. He smiles at me and I ignore the way he is flirting.

"Kyle, nice to see you again," I give a sweet yet fake smile. That sentence was a lie. To my surprised, the Kyle I know is still stupid to take a hint.

"I assume you came for something? Unless you come to see me since Tuck wont give you anything," He comments. Tuck soon starts getting mad and I hold him back. "Why do you need to be around these chumps? Head captain should be surrounded by a quarterback," He flex his muscles at me. I roll my eyes and look at him again.

"Just show us the journals from the burn of Blue Moon City," I demand quickly. I cross my arms and Tuck wraps his arm around me.

"Follow me," He groans

Alex's Pov:

{This might be interesting}

I follow the big head, dumbass Kyle to the area where the journals are. I hate this guy's guts more than I hate Gary and Gigi.

"So Alex, did Jackson finally got sick of you and broke up with you?" He asks me with a smirk. I feel myself tense up and anger rush to my bones. "I still don't get what she sees in you. You have anger problems and no muscles," He adds. I start walking towards him till Munch holds me back. He is so lucky my friends are here.

"Well if she was with you, what would you offer? Oh wait, ugliness doesn't have a license," I comment.

"I would slap you right now, but I don't want asshole all over me," Kyle comments. He hands Emma the journals and I look at him with a death glare.

"You know, I bet your parents thought you were a mistake," I comment as we walk out.

I get into the drivers' seat and see the gang looking at me. I ignore the glares I was getting and drove back to my place.

Two days just to get Jack back.

Hopefully the rest of this plan works..

A/N:

Hey guys!

So you get another chapter since I decide since I have no school, might as well write a new chapter.

If you haven't checked out the edited version of the very first chapter of the frist book, then go check it out.

I decided to call the book The Echo Series so it's easier to find it and at least when you search it, it wil show up with the other books. (One of the tags)

Okay!

See you guys next time!
