*Nathaniel's POV*

"You two leave tonight! Remember the keys are..." "Yes, I do." I say. "When I grab the handgun grab her by the arm and pull her out of the van. I'll shoot the trees, but it'll look like I'm shooting at you. Okay???" Yes, sir."

*Mallory's POV*

Well, I have to say I'm starting to get used to being in the white box truck. It's not that bad, after all. Just simplistic. My kidnappers really don't seem that bad. Even though they kidnapped me, they seem nice. Maybe I've been in the truck too long. AM I starting to lose my mind??!!!???

*Cora's POV*

It's been 2 weeks since anyone's seen: Jakeb, Mallory, Mal's Mom. Nate's going hysterical. I don't know what to do anymore: the police have given up following 0 evidence. The police don't really even look anymore. They don't admit it- but look into their eyes you can tell. They think it's hopeless. Ad I think I'm starting to feel that way too. God help us all. 

*Niall's POV*

Dear Mum,

Today's Zayn's first day out of the hospital. He seems in a good mood, but he hasn't had anymore dreams lately. Oh well. At least everyone's good: at least for now. We really need to get back on the road and continue with the tour but with everything that's happened Paul's not so sure that's the greatest thing to do; at least for right now. But we're taking a plane to South America here in a few hours. Zayn's Twitter is being blown up by millions of 'Get Well Soon Zayn,''s and we just haven't gotten around to telling everyone Zayn's out yet. I guess we're just too busy making sure Zayn's okay. Hopefully he gets back to his ole' self soon. If it's a dream he needs to get him back to normal, let's hope that's what he gets- SOON.

I put the letter in the inbox contently; waiting for the mailman to send it to my Mum.

*Mallory's POV*

My legs are crisscrossed, and I'm sitting on the floor. Nathaniel's playing with my hair. When all of a sudden one of the men pick up the gun off the floor and point it at me. I scream, and there's so much chaos everything's happening in a blur right now. All of the men are yelling; Nathaniel grabs my arm and pulls me out of the moving truck. The other men are firing their guns at us; Nathaniel pushes me into an alleyway. I watch the truck go out of sight. Huh. that's weird, I think to myself, why did they keep driving? They should've stopped and like tried to get us. Kill us. Nathaniel looks at me strangely and says, with a slight edge of nervousness? "When you were asleep we stopped the car and I, uh, pulled the brakes out." Why hadn't he ran then? Nathaniel smiles, "Because I didn't want to leave you," he says- almost like he's reading my brain. But the last time I fell asleep was last night. And only a few minutes ago we had reached a red light- and made a COMPLETE stop. What is Nathaniel hiding from me? He did kidnap me after all. Am I honestly safe? It could just be a hoax. I just smile, trying to shrug the thoughts away. Of-course you're safe with Nathaniel. He tried to save your life, remember that? As many times as I tell myself that, I begin to believe it more and more. But a tiny bit of my heart still cries: Are you 100% positive of that, Mallory?

"Hey, Mal, what shop is that, right there?" I squint my eyes, trying to make out the words. "Green...Greenbere's Gen...General Store? And there looks like there's a car in front of it, a dark-colored one." Nathaniel's eye light up with excitement, and he runs across the street towards the General Store. He searches the ground, and when he comes near the front left tire, he yells, "Found it!" And holds up something in the air, which almost resemble keys. "That was easy," he said to himself- Yeah, my heart starts up again, that was TOO easy. Just happen to find a car in front of the first store you look at, and the keys are just there on the ground. And it only took him a few seconds to find them- almost like he knew they were there all along. C'mon Mallory, you're a smart girl. Just run. You'll have more of a chance to escape. C'mon Mallory. Run... "You gonna get in?" athaniel asked me, since he was already inside the car. Don't you DARE go into that car, Mallory, my heart screamed.

But I got in anyway.
