Hadley's POV
I don't know where I am. I'm cold, tired, uncomfortable, sore and hungry. Who knows how long I have been here, but the only thing I remembered was walking into this building then getting a blow to the head.
Just then, someone takes off something in front of me and the first thing I see is a blinding light above me. I try to look around to see where I am but all I see is that I am sitting in a metal chair and that my feet are chained to the ground. My T-shirt and jeans are ripped and I really don't want to know what happened to me while I was unconscious.
"Oh, look. She's awake. Let's just get her to talk or she won't see them again." someone says and I try to scramble out of the chair. What? Who? Just then, I get this shock and I scream.
"It's ok. It wasn't that big of a shock. Just try and answer these questions or your mother will slowly die." NO! I look at the person who sits in front of me. I look at him and give him a death glare.
"Alright. Do you know why you're here?" He asks.
"Can I ask the questions first?" I ask angrily and I hear a woman scream. NO! MOM!
"Please. I'll answer anything. Just please, don't hurt my Mom." I plead and he nods. Now, whenever a evil guy nods, it means that he is lying. And you know how I know this? Action movies. And James Bond.
"Do you know why you're here?" he asks again and I gulp. My throat is that dry, I can't taste anything. Except for this disgusting taste that just stays in one place and won't go away.
"Easy. For you guys to kill me." I say and he laughs.
"Wow. Got a snappy one here." He says and the rest of the guys laugh.
"OK. What do you know about your parents high school days?" he asks.
"Not much. My Dad only told me a story of their first year anniversary for when they were dating the first time. That's it." I say honestly.
"Wow. You're not much use. Damn Luke." He says and curses.
"What? What is going on? Who are you?" I ask, getting worried. The man puts his face under the light and I cringe. The man has a big scar on his left cheek and cuts through his eye. The man has red hair and lots of tattoos on his arms.
"My name is Douglas. I'm an old bully of your parents. I was one of Misty's allies back in high-school. And when Misty wanted to get rid of Elisa, well. I was the best person for the job. But of course, her idiotic twin sister got in the way and she was killed instead. When Misty found out that Elisa was alive, she was furious so she ripped the divorce papers for her and Luke and set out for you. Thinking you knew what happened back in high-school." Says the man/Douglas.
"What happened back in high-school? I ask.
"Elisa won Luke. And there was a huge war about the whole situation. Misty couldn't graduate since she started the war. So she had to repeat a grade, but dropped out when she fell pregnant with her first kid." He explains.
"We don't need you anymore. Sleep and eat. Then we will let you free with your mother tonight." He says and motions me away. He walks away while two other guys unchain me and drag me to a cellar where my mother is lying down with cuts and bruises. Oh, Mom. I'm so sorry. I'll get you out of here. I promise....

(Who only knows how long later)
"Alright. Wake up. You going home." A booming voice says and Mom and I squint at the big man. I quickly put the sharp little knife in my back pocket and help Mom stand up. We are dragged out to the main area I am confused. We are being tied up to wooden poles. Mom and I look at each other and have the same worried/confused look on our faces.
"What's going on? Aren't we going home?" I ask.
"Oh yeah. To hell." Say Douglas and I start cutting the rope.
"Any last words?" he asks and Mom and I look at each other. We grin and look back at Douglas.
"What? Why are you grinning?" He asks and gets his gun ready while shaking.
"You have no idea what people can do when they change." croaks my Mom and I throw the knife at Douglas which lands perfectly in his thigh. He yells in agony and fires the gun. And the bullet lands in Mom's side. She yells and doors slam open. Many men come out me and I kick them out. Thanks for the lessons Alec. They come in handy.
"Police. Stand down." People say and someone grabs my arm and puts a gun to my head.
"NO! MOVE, OR I'LL SHOOT HER!" Yells Douglas and someone runs in front of the police and I get shot in the arm I yell in pain then someone else gets shot. I see who got shot and it's Alec. NO! Not you too! The police move in and everything gets blurry. In a few minutes, I see nothing. I hear nothing. I am nothing.
----------------------------------------------------#Time-lapse------------------------------------------------
(Like I said, who only knows how long later)
I wake to beeping and my father's green eyes in front of me.
"Do you know that you have the greenest eyes?" I ask and he laughs.
"You wake from a gun shot to the arm and the only thing you say is about my eyes? What did you dream about, Hadley." He says and laughs again. I try to sit up, but I am so sore.
"Mom? Alec?" I ask and he helps me sit up.
"They're ok. Mom is still asleep and Alec is awake. He has been begging to see you ever since he woke up." He says and I try to laugh but it hurts.
"That's Alec for you." I say and look at the clock. It's the first time since I saw the time. And really, I am so thankful for Christiaan Huygens for inventing it.
"What day is it? How long have I been out?" I ask.
"Well, today is Saturday. And you've been out for 3 days." He says and I am shocked.
"Ok." I say and yawn.
"I'll let you sleep. I'll go tell Alec that you're conscious." He says and I nod, falling into a dreamless sleep.
