Melina Arellano, Robin's cousin, one of the four most feared kids in school. one of the only feared girls in school. Her words hurt worse than vances punches and she knew it. so did vance, so obviously he'd hate her right? right. of course vance hat...
Melina was walking on the sidewalk. she left her bag at school in her locker so she wasn't lugging it around the arcade all the time.
"hi melina" she heard from a house near by. she looked to the house to see a old man that she'd been seeing every Wednesday while she was walking home for 5 years.
"hi mr.scott" she said waving and the little old man gave her a little head nod before turning around and going inside. the two would talk for hours on the weekends and he'd tell her like it was. if she was being mean, if she should have learned to back down or whatever else. she got to the end of the street and crossed the road before taking a left. she was walking perfectly fine before she heard a car stop next to her. she looked over to see a pasty man with glasses and a top hat. he was in the drivers seat, holding a map.
"hi there." he said with a grin that made Melina un easy.
"hi?" She said as she continued walking and the van slowly inched foreward with her.
"say, could you help me? I'm new in town and lil ol me doesn't know where I am" he said laughing nervously. Melina looked him up and down. he didn't seem all that dangerous. she sighed and nodded.
"sure" she said walking to the back of the van to meet the weirdo half way.
"Oh goodie!" he said getting out of the van. melina looked at him weird as he held out a map for her. she grabbed the map and pointed to where they were.
"so where are you trying to go?" She asked and he pointed to a spot before quickly pulling a rag out of his pocket and shoving it over her mouth and nose. muffling her screams. she kicked her feet and three her elbow back, hitting him in the stomach. he groaned as he opened the back of the van. her body slowly lost its energy and her eyes grew droopy as he threw her into the back of the van. her head hit the floor and she groaned. the van door slammed and she tried to look around but she was too tired. her eyes slowly closed and her head rested on the ground. in seconds, she was un contiouse.
The grabber was driving down the road when he was another kid walking along the side of the road. he was alone and had blonde hair. it was vance hopper. the grabber grabbed his can of spray and drove past him down the road. once he couldn't see vance, he pulled over and got out of the van. he pulled out the map and looked Around as if he was confused. Vance slowly approached and vance looked at the man un easily.
"Oh, hi. could you help me real quick?" he said and vance groaned.
"yeah yeah" he said walking over and as soon as vance got in arms reach he pulled vance to him and sprayed the can in his mouth as vance screamed. Vance bit the man's hand in attempt for him to let go of him. the grabber yelled and opened the van, quickly shoving vance in. Vance heard the door slam and he felt someone next to him. he jumped and looked over but could only see a silhouette of a person. he got closer and his eye sight began to get blurry. he got a big closer to the girl and the ground and that was when he noticed who it was. his voice was hoarse as he spoke.
"Melina?" He said and then, it was dark.

Vance sat up, his head throbbing and his eyesight still messed up. He was quick to notice, he didn't know where he was. he looked at what he was sitting on and he noticed it was a stained and ripped mattress. he quickly tried to back up but noticed someone was next to him. he looked over to see who it was and he saw Melina. passed out right next to him. he quickly went over to her and examined her to make sure she was okay. she had a small bruise on her forehead and vance was quick to notice. he quickly moved her hair out of her face and moves her so she was on the bed more comfortably so she wasn't sprawled out as vance assumed the grabber threw her on there.
"Melina, melina?" he said rubbing her shoulder but to no avail, nothing happened "Oh god, please be okay.." he said quietly to himself. he heard the door open and vances head quickly turned to see the guy he tried to help earlier except his top hat was gone and he was wearing a mask.
"Oh good. you're awake!" he said and vance glared at him then looked between the guy and Melina.
"what'd you do to her?!" he yelled. "huh?! what'd you do!" vance yelled louder and the grabbed closes his eyes and shook his head.
"don't get snappy with me young man." he said coldly and vance quickly shut up. "I didn't do anything to her... yet" the grabber said and vance moved closer to the unconscious melina as the grabber got closer.
"don't you dare, lay a finger on her." vance said coldly and the grabber frowned under the mask and sighed.
"be that way. i don't care. you can starve down here for all I care" the grabber said standing back up. as he said that vances stomach growled but he ignored it. he had to stay tough. for Melina. the grabber walked out and closed the door behind him, the lock clicking before the sound of his foot steps went away. Vance sighed and moved so his back was against the wall as Melina slept beside him.
"I'm gonna get us out of here" he said quietly and he looked at the ceiling. as he said that Melina groaned and turned over onto her other side. Vance looked down quickly and let out a sigh of relief. at least she was okay. he watched her, debating if he should wake her up or let her sleep. she didn't know that she was in some creepy old man's basement. she didn't know that she was trapped down there with him. "fuck it" he said moving to wake her up. he lightly shook her and she groaned and tried swatting him away. he rolled his eyes and shook her harder and her eyes slowly opened. when her eyes adjusted to the dimly lit room she jumped back and hit her head on the wall, not helping her already pained head.
"ow, fuck!" She said as she sat up and help her head. "vance? where the fuck are we?" She asked as she looked around and noticed vance was next to her. he looked at the bruise on her forehead for a second.
"the grabbers basement..." he said quietly. Melinas eyes went from confusion to fear.
"what the fuck do you mean the grabbers basement?!" She yelled and vance rolled his eyes.
"I mean what I fucking said Arellano" he spat at her and she put her head back.
