(It's been a while! But I'm back. I've had a couple of difficult weeks and I've been finding it difficult to continue. But anyway, here I am and on holiday so there is more time to write! Yay on with the story!)

Hannah's POV:

I woke up being dragged along the floor. A trail of blood was in front of me. My blood. I looked up and saw my captor. The hooded figure. "If you can teleport why don't you just teleport me to where you want to go?" I ask him.

"I need time to recharge Hannah." He replies.

"How do you know my name?"

"I'm sure you will find out soon. Now please be quiet."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to listen to your stupid, evil voice!" He snapped at me.

Evil voice? How do I have an evil voice? From deep inside me I feel I know my captor, but don't know. I look back down to the floor once again thinking of Lewis. Help me Lewis. Help me. Please. I'm dropped to the floor and my vision goes dark once again.

Duncan's POV:

I fell through the air, flipping on the way down and entered the purple swirls. I drifted through blackness for a few seconds and I landed on my feet. Lewis wasn't in front of me and then I saw him. He was on his knees a few meters to the side of me looking at the floor. I walked over and my jaw dropped in shock. A small pool of blood was on the floor and in the middle was a bit of Hannah's hair. "Lewis?" I ask him. His face turns around glaring at me tears and anger in his eyes.

"What!?" He snaps at me.

"Are you ok?"

"OF COURSE I'M NOT OK!" He screams. By this time Simon had come through the portal and was behind me looking at Lewis and the pool of blood. "I'm going to find who did this and kill them! Slowly!" Lewis says through gritted teeth. He stands up and turns towards the trail of blood. "Follow me." He says and walks down the trail of blood into the forest. "We need to find who did this." I say and Simon nods. We start to walk behind Lewis and we walk deeper into the depths of the forest, following the dark blood track. Whoever did this will not get away.

After about an hour we still couldn't see any sign of Hannah or her captor and the trail of blood was still dry. We continued for a while longer and then we found something that renewed the hope of finding Hannah. Fresh blood. Lewis started running and Simon and I looked at each other, nodded and ran after Lewis. We ran for a few minutes and then Lewis stopped still and went to some bushes next to a tree. We ran over to Lewis and ducked behind the bush and peered over. Hannah. Hannah was next to a little fire pit and a hooded figure was at the opposite side sharpening a stick with a knife.

Lewis stepped out from the cover of the bush and walked up to the hooded figure. Idiot. I walked after him and Simon followed behind us. Lewis was about to hit the figure in a mask in the back of the head but the captor turned round and knocked him down with some sort of purple blast. Magic. Oh fun! A blast came my way and knocked me down as well. I looked up dazed and saw Simon charging at him with his head. He was thrown onto the floor and the figure picked up Hannah and ran into the trees but left a purple barrier between us and the path they went.

Hannah's POV:

I sat by the small fire my captor had set up and looked down at the floor. I'll never see Lewis again. I'll never get home. Never. I hear a low rustle from the bushes and look up. My body freezes when I see who it is. Lewis! I can't say anything I'm too shocked, but the next thing I know he is on the floor and Duncan is also being thrown down by magic.  Simon charged at my captor and was also put down to the floor. I was picked up and I stared at Lewis' dazed face. A wall of magic was thrown up in front of me and I managed to whisper "Lewis."

I was carried further and further away from the wall of pure magic and I could feel myself getting weaker and weaker. "Put me down!" I scream.

"Never. I want revenge for what was taken from me!" He replies angrily.

"What was taken from you!?"

"I won't tell you until the time is right. Be patient."

I hear a shattering noise from behind. The wall of magic must be broken! I hear Lewis, Simon and Duncan shouting. "I'm over here guys!" I shout out.

"Shut your face!" My captor screams at me.

I'm dropped  to the floor and my body is held down to the floor. The person carrying me pulls out a knife. "I guess I could get my revenge now. COULDN'T I!?"

"Help!" I scream.

"I said shut up!"

The knife moves closer to me and a begin to whimper. I'm going to die. Without ever seeing Lewis' smiling face again. This is all my fault I got kidnapped, I am the one about to be killed. The knife moves up to my throat and I gulp. The knife blade is now gently pressing against my skin. He moves the knife away and I sigh. "Actually I like seeing you squirm. I think I will cut open your stomach instead. Is that ok with you? He says happily. I stay silent. "I asked you a question!" He spits in my face. I nod knowing that if I say no he will just kill me in a different way. The knife begins to move towards by stomach.

As the knife moves towards my stomach tears flow from my eyes. I close my eyes and prepare for death. A thump makes me open my eyes and Lewis stands before me, my captor on the floor and the knife is on the floor. I'm shaking and I begin to weep. Lewis helps me stand up and I wrap my arms around him, crying into his shoulder. "It's ok, I've got you." He says calmly. I continue crying into him. His warm body is wrapped around me and I finally feel safe in his embrace. I look up and see my captor pulling himself up to his feet. "I will get my revenge! You will all suffer for what you did! Everyone of you!" He vanishes and I wrap myself around Lewis once more. "I've missed you so much." I whisper into his ear.

"I've missed you as well. You're safe now though."

"I am. As long as I'm with you."

"I love you. He says peacefully.

"I love you too." I reply.

I move my head away from his shoulder and kiss him. I feel safe. I am safe. The living nightmare is over. "I'm so tired. I just want to sleep." I say. I drop to the floor and my vision fades and the last thing I see is Lewis looking over me, kneeling to the floor.

(Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter! It's been a bit of a rollercoaster I think! At least Hannah didn't die. We are one step closer to finding out who the hooded figure is! I've dropped a few clues out there and I'm sure a few of you will be able to figure out who it is. Thank you for reading and there will be more chapters to come! But for now goodbye!!!!-Matty Out.)
