CHAPTER 1: KIDNAPPED (Demma)

Dan's POV
It's been a week. We've been trapped in this guy's basement for one week now, and I'm dehydrated and starving. I'm sure Jem is, too. "Dan..." she croaks, "I'm starving, dehydrated, and I'm getting weaker every day." I hug her, and she cries into my shoulder. I feel like all she does now is cry. I don't blame her. I look over at Ellie and Darcie in the cage beside ours. They whimper and cry. They look so skinny now, I can see their ribs peeking through their fur. They seem so sad now. It feels its been like forever since we've been safe. Just last week I was at home with Jem, making videos, and we were happy and free. The pugs could run around as much as they wanted, and go wherever. Now we're confined to a little cage, with barely enough room to fit both of us. He comes down the stairs with bags in his hands. He. He never actually told us his real name. All we know is that he is jealous, and that he hates me. Jealous of my life. Who wouldn't be? I'm famous, happily married... His voice interrupts my thoughts. "Here you go!" He pushes two pieces of bread through the bars. He gives Ellie and Darcie each a piece of sliced apple. He puts an almost empty water dish in their cage, and a small water bottle in ours. It's all we get. I slowly nibble on the bread. It tastes great, because I haven't eaten since noon yesterday. Even though it's all I've eaten for the past week. We haven't eaten a full meal since last week. Jem slowly eats hers, then takes a sip of the water. She hands the bottle to me, and I take a sip as well. I look over and see Ellie and Darcie taking turns drinking the water. They've already eaten their apple slices, and it looks like their still starving. He leaves, going to do whatever he does when he's not down here. He has our phones, so we can't call anybody for help. All we can do is wait, and hope that we get rescued. Jem's doing awful down here, it looks like she's just barely holding on. She might not make it out of here alive. I'm really worried about her. We finish our bread, and I'm still starving. Jem looks very skinny, and I'm sure I do, too. "Do... do you think we'll make it out alive?" She asks me. "We have to," I say, "we're gonna be ok. At least we have each other." She gives me a weak smile, then coughs. I hug her, holding her close to me. She rests her head on me. We're gonna get out of here. There has to be a way. All of a sudden, we hear police sirens. Ellie and Darcie start barking like crazy, and it gives me an idea. "HELP!!!" I scream, "HELP!!!" I hope they can hear me through the wall. He told us it was sound proof, but he could've been lying. He'll probably come down to beat us, but this is our only chance to try and escape. I can feel Jem's breathing slowing. It's getting slower... and slower... and slower... "Hang on Jem," I whisper, "hang on." She closes her eyes, and I let her rest.
Police's POV
We're just cruising around the block, when I hear dogs barking. "Kim, do you hear that?" I ask my partner Kim. "Yeah," she replies, "it sounds like dogs barking. I wonder what it is." Then, the barking merges with screams. "HELP!!! HELP!!!" "Omg Kim!" I exclaim, "Someone's in trouble!" We drive the cop car to the source of the screams, a small house. "Hang on!" Kim yells to them, "We're coming!" We bust the door down, and see a young man walking up his basement stairs. He's holding a knife. He seems to be the only person home. "Excuse me, sir," I say, "but we heard some screams coming from your house..." He interrupts me. "They must've been coming from somewhere else," he says, "I'm the only one home." "Then you won't mind if we check your basement," Kim says to him, and he blocks the stairs. "Nope," he says, "haha, I'm working on a project..." I push him out of the way, and Kim runs down the stairs. I put handcuffs on the man, then follow behind her. There's two cages down here. In one, there's a man and woman. They both look like they haven't eaten in at least a week. In the other, there's two dogs. Pugs. They whimper. The man looks up at us, crying. He has a huge gash in his leg. The woman turns around, and I can see cuts in her arm. "Don't worry," I say to them, "we're going to get you out of here. We'll take you to a hospital." I grab the kidnapper. "You're under arrest," I say to him, taking the keys from out of his pocket. I toss them to Kim, who unlocks the cages. I hear the man whisper 'thank you'. I take the kidnapper upstairs to the police car, and shove him in the back. I turn on my radio. "Backup at 67," I say, "backup at 67." Kim and the people who were kidnapped come out of the house. Kim is holding the dogs, and the woman looks like she's barely holding on. Seconds later, another cop car arrives. Pete gets out of the car, and the man and woman enter it. "Take them to a hospital," I say to Pete, and he drives off with them and the dogs. Kim comes with me.
Dan's POV
We're finally safe, free from the basement. Jem doesn't look so good, though. I hope she's ok. "Please hurry," I whisper to the cop, "Jem's not doing well." "I'm going as fast as I can," the cop replies, looking back at us. I hug Jem and kiss her on the forehead. She smiles. "Do you have any water?" I ask the officer, and he hands me a bottle of water. I take the cap off and hold it up to Jem's lips. I tip it, so she can drink some. After a while, she gives me a thumbs up and I drink the rest. "Thank you," she whispers to the officer, and he replies with "Your welcome." "What happened?" He asks. "Well..." I say, "we were kidnapped. Kept in that guy's basement for a week, with little food and water. All we got was a piece of bread, and a small water bottle for us to share. The pugs, Ellie and Darcie, only got a piece of apple and an almost empty water dish." "Wow..." the cop replies, "I feel so bad for you." Then, Jem passes out.
*Timeskip To The Hospital*
We're finally at the hospital. The officer opens the car door for us, and I get out, carrying Jemma. I walk as best as I can to the door. The cop opens it, carrying Ellie and Darcie, and we enter. "Hello," the cop talks fast, "these poor people were kidnapped, they need a doctor." I'm scared that Jem's gonna die. I don't want to lose her. I can't lose her. The receptionist calls someone on her phone, and a doctor rushes towards us. He guides us into an emergency room, and I lay Jemma down on one of the hospital beds. I'm crying so hard right now. The doctor sets two bowls down on the floor - one full of dog food and one full of water. The cop puts Ellie and Darcie down, and they immediately start eating and drinking. The doctor then cleans and bandages my leg where the man cut me. After that, he starts working on Jemma. First, he cleans her arm and bandages it up. Then he checks her breathing and heartbeat. "She might not make it," he tells me, and I start crying harder. He puts an IV tube in her arm. "This will give her the vitamins and nutrients that she needs," he says, "and I'll need to do an operation on her." He pulls all of his tools and equipment out of a bag, then tells us to leave. We do, but not before I squeeze Jem's hand. "You're going to be ok," I whisper.
