Brianna's POV
"Gem, Delaney, Anna, Shel! Where'd you all go?! I know we're playing hide and seek, but guys, I've been searching for you for like an hour now. It's obvious that you've won, so just COME OUT!" I yell as loud as I can. Nobody makes an appearance, so I sniff the air. I can smell all of their scents, but there's another that I don't recognize.
"Who's there? SHOW YOURSELF!" I yell but get no reply. I sigh and start to follow the scent. After a while, I see a little cottage that's lit from within. I can see a bunch of shadows, so the house is full of people. The scent of my friends is stronger here.
My friends are here, they have to be. But why? I've never seen this place before...could they have been kidnapped? There's only one person moving in there. But if they were in trouble, they would have used their magic already or screamed my name. Worried thoughts like these ran through my head on a loop.
I creep around the cottage and find a window low enough for me to reach, so I carefully pry it open and crawl through. I'm in what appears to be a bedroom. The door starts to open and I panic, look around, then jump up and dig my claws into the ceiling.
"Hmmm...where did she say the potion was again?" A guy enters the room, looking around and chatting to himself. "Oh yeah, that's right, in the closet!" The guy says triumphantly.
"What potion?" I mutter. I look around, and there's a vent close to my left. I decided to try getting to it after the stranger leaves and am able to get inside without too much noise.
I crawl around for what seems like forever, following the familiar scent of my friends through the twists and turns of the vent. Finally, I see my friends. They're all tied to separate chairs, far enough so that none of them can untie another.
The hair dangling in my face turns red, and I can feel my expression turn to one of rage. "How dare they kidnap my friends? They're conscious and seemingly unharmed, how were they taken?" I whisper.
"Did someone just talk?" I hear a cruel female voice snap.
"No ma'am, I didn't say anything." replies the guy from before.
"Then either our hostages talked, or someone snuck in. You search, I'll question the girls." The woman instructs. The man nods with a muttered agreement and runs out of the empty room where my friends sit.
"Did any of you say something?" the woman asks in a harsh voice.
"No!" "Sorry ma'am, but we didn't say anything." "I swear we didn't talk! Please don't hit us again..." Three of my friends responded, tugging at their ropes. Gem just growls in the back of her throat and struggles against her bonds.
The woman scoffs in disgust and leaves the room, and I see her begin to search the house. After making sure she's gone for the moment, I drop down from the vents and lock the door that allows access to the room. Then I run over to my friends and untie them.
"Thanks, Bri!" Anna whispers, and the other girls mutter similar words of gratitude.
"No problem, but we need to get out of here. We can talk later." I reply as I hear footsteps. The door handle starts to turn.
"What the...Oh crap! Guys, the door's locked, they're gonna try and escape, go after them!" I hear a voice shout.
"Let's go girls!" I scream, and we all run for the other door in the room. We run into and through the woods, reaching the main streets of New York City after a short while of running. My friends' kidnappers are right on our tail.
"We gotta split up into groups. I'll go with Delaney, Anna you go with Shelby. Bri, go alone. I can usually keep up with you, but not when I've been tied up for an hour. We'll meet up at Times Sq--RUN NOW! GO, AND DON'T GET CAUGHT!" Gem yells. I nod and start to run forward as fast as I can.
A quick glance behind me reveals that the woman is following me, the guy from before is going after Gem and Delaney, and a boy that looks about our age is running after Anna and Shelby.
"Try catching me. Good luck, cause you'll NEED IT!" I taunt and start running faster. I run into a shopping mall and catch a glimpse of Anna. I run towards her and Shelby, and we switch places. The teen's now chasing me, and the woman is following them.
As I dart and swerve around shoppers who look at us in shock, the only thought racing through my mind is, I hope they'll be ok.
HOPE YOU ALL LIKE THE FIRST CHAPTER! BTW, DELANEY AND ELLIE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE.
THIS DIDN'T TAKE ME LONG, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, I TRIED HARD! ANYWAY, MAGIC EXITS AND THAT'S PARTLY WHY BRI'S HAIR WAS RED. HER ORIGINAL HAIR COLOR IS LIGHT BLUE!
I WILL MAKE A CHAPTER OF JUST THE CHARACTERS IF YOU WANT! OK GUYS
BRI OUT!
