"So you said their are others of us?" I ask.
"Yes, Annya, Colbert and Donney."
"What's the point of this?"
"That, my dear, is none of your concern."
"Uh, yeah it is. If I'm involved, it's my concern."
"Well, I don't have to tell you."
"Well you should or I'll have to unleashe my most powerful weapon," I lean forward dramatically. "My best friend." I lean back.
"Fine, I'll tell you." Fear flickering accross his eyes.
"So, I made a bet with an old friend of mine that I could make life like... things... and no one would even notice."
"And it's worked?" I ask.
"Yes, then, when the time was right, I would send for some one to retrieve them-"
"Kidnapp them."
"To me."
"So, how do you know when it's the right time."
"When one falls in love."
"Oh, when one falls in love." I bat my eyelashes and clasp my hands together, twirling for affect. "Yeah well, we haven't fallen in love, sooo... you can let us to now."
He laughed. "You haven't, your friend has."
Amelia whipped her her head to him. "What? I have not. That's absurd."
"You're in denial."
She gave him THE DEADLIEST GLARE I HAVE EVER SEEN.
He visibly cringed, I flinched.
"If you don't mind, backing out of my life would be GREAT."
"I just remebered I should go check on something." He slowly backed out of the room.
When the door closed behind him and locked, I turned to Amelia.

"Is it true? Do you love someone?"
"I, I don't know."
"How do you not know?"
"I, I haven't decided about how I feel."
"According to Derrick you have."
She looks away.
"Who is it even?"

The door opens and a girl walks in.
"You need to get out of here." She's says desperatly. "You don't want to know what will happen. I'll help you the best I can okay?"

Without waiting for an answer, she throws Amelia a key and she quickly hides it on herself.
Anyway, Brian comes in then.

"Amelia, come with me."
"NO!" I yell."You cannot take her without taking me too."
He shrugs."Whatever, fine."
"Why'd you come instead of that-"
"Language Amelia." I say. "No matter how true it may be. We musn't let the worst get to us. We wouldn't want to end up like Rumplestilskin in Once Upon A Time now would we?"
"Butthead."
I nod in approval.
"It was just one word."
"It can easily get worse from there."
"You're so dramatic."
"Eh, it comes naturally."
"I love that show!!!" Derrick says excitedly.
We look at him.

"What? I'm a fanman."
"Uh huh, whatever helps you sleep at night." Amelia says.

He mutters something incoherent and leads us away.

He takes us to a room with lots of machines and graphs.
Body designs lined the wall.
I recognized two.
Mine and Amelia.

I shuddered.

"Welcome to my lab." Derrick says coming out in a white coat and gloves.
He looked ridiculous.

"Oh thanks, I think we'll be leaving now." Me and Amelia go to turn to dicover we cannot exit.
Electric wires covered the door handle.

I hear Amelia scream and then to see Derrick grabbing her.
Ah naw.
I locked him in the shin real hard he faltered and fell.

I grab Amelia up off the ground.
"I told you not to touch her, you aren't very good at listening."
I got an idea.
"Whatever you were gonna do to her, I'll take her place."
"Oh how cute, friendship."
"At least I have a good friend." I spat back.
"Nevaeh no." Amelia pleaded.
"Your do the same for me, now let me to it for you."
"No. I won't be able to watch that."
"Amelia, you have the key, and the brains, figure something out, for now, let me do this. I need you to do this for me, let me handle this part." I whisper.
"Nevaeh...."
"Please."
"As soon as I do, om getting us out of here."
I nod.

I walk over to Derrick.

He told me to sit on a table.
I did.
He wrapped me to it.
I glared.
He turned on machines.
I gulped.
They started buzzing.
I felt pure terror.
I heard Amelia scream, saw her try to get to me, I felt.... Nothing, because I blacked out.

"What did you do to her???" A pretty brown haired girl asked, leaning over me.

"I restarted her." A man said.
The pretty brown head girl began to cry.
I felt sorry for whatever had made her upset. I wanted to hug her.
But, I don't know her.

"Why, why would you do that??? She's my best friend! I need her!"
"She was your best friend. And she was an interference."

The girl fell to the ground.

I got down and parted her back.

"There there young girl. Don't cry."
The girl hugged me and I patted her back a few times more.

"Nevaeh, I... I will get you back."
I was confused.
"Honey, my name is Lindsy."

She burst into tears again.

Poor girl, she seemed traumatized.

I was then taken away from the crying girl and led to another room.

I was told to sit still and not touch anything and that a girl would come in and bring my dinner.

The girl who came in was a different one, she also looked sad.
She walked out saying "I failed you."

Wow, this has been a very confusing couple of hours.

Maybe tomorrow will be better.

A boy burst in. Super hands on too.

"Nevaeh! I found you!"
"I'm sorry, I don't know who that is."

His face fell.
Poor guy.

"Nevaeh, it's me, Adam."
"Who?"
