Shugo Chara:The Past

Chapter 25

The van stopped in front if a large tall building with the sign,EASTER at the bottom of the 20-40 steps.The men carried me out as I stayed still.They entered the building and stepped into the elevator pressed some buttons,and the elevator started moving up.A few seconds later,the elevator stopped and the men escorted me into a dark room with flames lighting the place up."Amu-chan!We'll go get the others!"Ran said.I nodded hesitantly as they flew off.Suddenly,I felt all dizzy and I fell asleep.When I woke up,I was lying on a metal bed my ankle and wrist chained to it.I tried moving,but the chains just got tighter."I see you have woken up.."a deep voice said and a figure appeared.The director.I struggled,trying to escape again."No use,Hinamori Amu.No one can save you now."he said walking closer."What are you going to do to me?"I asked."Oh,not much.Just going to,make you work for me."he smirked."You can't.."I blurted."Oh really?"his face grew grim."What is your goal?"
"I-"I couldn't find anything to say.I don't have a goal,or a dream."Is there anyone asking you to help them with their goal?"he asked.I looked down sadly.No,there isn't."The guardians,they don't need you anymore.."
My eyes widened at his words.I slowly reached into my bag,taking out a pocket knife.I don't know why I have it,but I just happened to know it was there.I stuck the pointy end into the lock,and there was a quiet click,and I was able to move my right hand."Think about it,no where else to go,no more sides to pick,except for my side."the director said and walked out."Hm,Stupid."I smirked as I unlocked the locks on my other wrist and ankles.I got up and stretched,made sure I had everything and ran out of the room,and into the elevator and quickly went towards the door.There were guards guarding the door so I acted casual and walked out.They looked at me suspiciously."What?You don't let people in,so isn't it ok for them to get out?"I said.They stepped back and let me pass.I ran down the steps and back to school.Maybe I should head back to the classroom since there's no way I would go back to that Royal Garden."Amu-chan!"I heard Ran shout."Ran!"
"How did you get out?"she asked in front of me.I took out the pocket knife and smiled.She just looked at me in awe."Wheres everyone?"I asked."They...went after you after we told them about it."Ran said."But,I'll tell them you're safe."she added.I nodded."Come on."Ran guided me towards them."Miki!Su!"she shouted as I followed her."Ran!Amu-chan!"Miki and Su shouted with Tadase,Manaka,Nadeshiko,Yaya and Kukai following."Shes safe."Ran sighed.My eyes widened as Tadase ran over and hugged me."I'm so glad you're safe,Amu-chan."he said making me blush."S-Sorry,to make you guys worry..."I said softly.It was about 15 minutes since Ran,Miki,and Su left to tell them about me,and here,they were still at school grounds,saying they were about to get to you.I managed to get out myself but I couldn't stay mad at them..because...Tadase...

Manaka looked at Tadase as we let go."Now,Should we head to class?"Nadeshiko said kindly.We nodded and headed to our classes,trying to make up an excuse for why we were late on the way.
