Scarecrow's Secret

Kidnapped

My eyes were red and puffy from crying at finding out about Alex. I woke up and yawned and realised that the day was only Wednesday and I had to go to school. I frowned. I slid lazily out of my bed and stretched. I walked into the bathroom and looked in my mirror to see my eyes were redder than I thought they were. I sighed and brushed my teeth. I jumped into the shower. I dressed in just plain black for school today. I picked up my backpack and slung it over my shoulders. I was about to step out the door when dad came rushing by it carrying his briefcase and running rather hurriedly downstairs. I peeked out through the door looking at him like he was crazy. I looked over at Daniel - who had now emerged from his cave - and saw he had the same confused look I did. We both shrugged and followed him down the stairs.

"Dad! Are you okay?" I asked. He made a noise that suggested he couldn't talk and ran away from us. I called after him again, then resorted to running after him. We saw him jump in the car and we stood looking at him confused. He drove off down the road without us.

--Jonathan's P.O.V--

I was a pretty early riser and I had done everything that needed done this morning. Marking test papers, patient files, more test papers. I slammed all of them into my briefcase when I got a call from Allysen. I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"What do you want?" I asked casually but annoyed. She sighed on the other line.

"Nothing. Nothing. I just want you to tell Caralyn that Lexi here won't be attending school," she cried rather maliciously. I swore I heard an "don't call me Lexi!" there. I stood in shock before finding my voice again.

"Where have you got her and why did you take her?" I asked. She sighed in exasperation on the other end.

"Do you have to take the fun out of it - ow! You little bitch," she cried. I smirked when I realised that Alexandria had probably kicked Allysen. I checked my watch and realised I didn't have much time. I raced down the stairs leaving two confused teenagers watching me running down them. I heard Caralyn run after me but I couldn't let her know about Alexandria. I made a noise and ran outside. She called after me but I didn't listen to her. They followed me out and before they could ask any further questions, I drove off leaving them very confused.

--Alexandria's P.O.V--

"Why me?" I asked the brunette woman standing infront of me. She sighed in exasperation and turned round to lazily face me. I was sitting in a darkened sort of cave with water and other levels. The black concrete glistened against the light from the monitors Allysen used.

"Because, Lex! You're my nieces best friend and I really don't like my niece. I guess you could say this whole thing is just something to allure her and brother dear over here. To get them arrested," she explained sadistically. She snarled the last sentence and I swallowed. Something this idiotic woman didn't know is that my dad never let me go anywhere without a knife. I slipped it out and attempted to cut the binds that she had me chained to. They weren't very strong but they sure were hard to cut. She was turned round and two guards were stood infront of me not behind me. God, what imbeciles. Allysen was on the phone to someone when I had gotten free. I silently took down her two guards and then walked over to her. I tapped her on the shoulder and she turned round, again sighing in exasperation.

"Do you have to take the fun out of it - ow! You little bitch!" she yelled at me when I punched her. I pried my phone off of her and saw she was talking to Dr Crane, Caralyn's dad and her brother. I felt sorry for the man, having her as a sister. I really did. I was startled when I heard an alarm go off and looked up to the monitors to see more guards rushing in. I ran up a flight of stairs and hid behind a rock that was conveniently there. The guards rushed around the room in a flock of hundreds. I widened my eyes. There was no way I would be able to take them on on my own. Well, Allysen was now knocked out cold so I guess she wouldn't follow through with her plan. I flipped out my phone and called Caralyn.
