The Technicolor Phase

Part 23-Trapped

[Anna's POV]

"ANNA! I KNOW WHERE JORDAN IS!!!!" Beth shouted

My eyes flew opened and my heart beat quickened. She rushed in the room and started shaking me even though I was already awake.

"Where is he?" I asked while getting off the bed

"He's at the top of the Empire State Building."

My eyes grew wide. Why would he be there? I went towards my suitcase and Beth went out so I could get changed. I texted Jasper telling him that I know where Jordan is. He replied saying that Adam is better and he is sending Adam over as soon as he can. Wow. I said a silent prayer of thanks and threw on shorts, Tennis shoes, and a pink top. While going out of the room and into the kitchen Beth was getting ready to leave with me. I frowned as I got a pop-tart.

"Beth, it's gonna be dangerous. You gotta stay here. I'm sorry," I told her while giving her a hug.

She understood. I grabbed my phone and car keys and went out. I followed Beth home last night in my car. I got in and drove towards the Empire State Building.

After battling traffic I made it and parked the car. I rushed in and got on the elevator and went to the top. The doors opened and I saw open space. I saw the New York skyline. Breathtaking. Then something hit me in the back of my head. I blacked out.

--------------------

When I regained consciousness I was in a room with a few light bulbs. I saw Jordan a few feet away. I smiled and tried to go near him but I couldn't. I was tied to a chair.

"Jordan?" I said quietly

He groaned. I couldn't help but smile. Then a door opened.

[Adam's POV]

I ran down a street towards the Empire State Building. I was stupid to stab myself. I had a scar on my left side, thankfully I didn't damage any organs. While I was running I ran into someone. We both fell backwards. I was dazed for a minute. Then I looked at who I ran into, it was a girl with curly blonde hair an icy blue eyes, she wore a blue top with a cute skirt and sandals. My hands got all sweaty and my heart beat quickened. She helped me up. I found myself staring at her. She brushed a strand of hair out of her face. She held out her hand. I took it.

"Hello. I'm Adam Young," I said shyly while letting go of her hand

"You're the fireflies dude. I'm AnnMarie Monson."

"T-that's a nice name. I'm, um, I'm sorry I ran into you. I was just going to rescue my friend," I told her

AnnMarie's face lit up. "Don't worry about it,Adam. Um Can I come?"

I smiled. "Sure."

AnnMarie grabbed my hand. Butterflies formed in my stomach as we neared the building. I opened the door for AnnMarie.

"Ladies first," I said while smiling and gesturing for her to go inside.

"Thank you sir."

I followed her in. We went in the elevator and started going to the top. An awkward silence filled the elevator. AnnMarie glanced at me from time to time, when I made eye contact with her she would look away and blush. I fiddled with a string from my shorts. AnnMarie reached over and adjusted my collar on my plaid shirt. She blushed.

"It needed fixing," AnnMarie stated

I blushed and smiled nervously. The doors of the elevator opened and we walked out. I saw blood on the ground. It led to another door. We crept over and opened it. It was another room, I looked at her. She went in I followed. I saw Jordan and Anna. They both were knocked out.

"Anna!" I exclaimed in a high pitched voice.

"Adam! Don't step forward!" AnnMarie warned

I didn't listen. I stepped forward. There was a whoosh noise. I turned around and saw AnnMarie slumped on the floor. No! Then something hit my neck. I fell over unconscious.
