The Box of Little Critter

Chapter Eighteen

Sarah, Max, and Adam were in the car quickly driving back to where critter was last seen. Buildings were destroyed and there were no people in sight.

"Looks kinda like a zombie apocalypse," Adam said. 

"No kidding," Max responded. Sera was looking out the window, hoping to see either Tianna or critter. 

"Don't worry guys," Max said. "She will be fine. We will find them."

"Are you sure this plan is going to work Adam?" Sarah asked, a bit upset. 

"It has to," Adam responded, not turning his head back to look at her. Sarah started taking deep breaths.

"Don't worry babe," Max said. "Let's start looking around to see if we can find either of them." Adam climbed out of the car, shutting the door behind him. 

"Hey where are you going?!" Sarah called out, rolling the car window down. 

"I'm not gonna just sit. I need to go look around," said Adam without turning around. 

"We can just continue driv-" Max started to say. Adam quickly turned around, very upset.

"I will NOT just sit and look when I could do more!" he yelled. "If anything happens to Tianna I will never forgive myself." Max and Sarah both stayed silent, and without another word, Adam walked away to continue looking for Tianna. He could not wait anymore, so he wanted to look before it was too late. 

Tianna struggled for what felt like forever. It was cold and Tianna was scared. She was very afraid of heights. 

I didn't think that Critter would put me on top of the tallest building in the city, Tianna thought. If I struggle too much I will literally fall to my death, no big deal.  She continued to try and break free from the rope until she heard Critter climb up. She rolled her eyes.

"I can't believe you," she said. Critter didn't respond. "You better let me go right now."

"Sorry," critter said. "Adam tried to take you away. Your uncle made me for you. You and me belong together." Tianna shook her head.

"You don't understand," Tianna responded. "We were suppose to be friends. Adam is my husband. Why couldn't you understand that?" Again, no response. Critter just climbed back down the building. 

"Wait at least let me down," Tianna asked, struggling. "Please! Let me out!" Then she sighed.

"God Adam," she muttered to herself. "I wish you were here..."

"Try this street on your left," Sarah pointed, as Max then turned left. As he turned, Sarah kept looking for a bit then saw something on a building in the distance.

"Is that..." Max started. Sarah gasped. 

"That must be where Tianna is!" Sarah exclaimed. "We need to turn around! Let's go get Adam!"

"TIANNA!!!"

Adam has been calling out for Tianna for a little bit. It hasn't been too long since Adam left Sarah and Max. Or it could've been hours, he hasn't been keeping track. 

"TIANNA!!!"

Adam hears a car behind him. As he turns the window rolls down.

"Get in!" Sarah calls out. "We know where Tianna is!"
