Past Lives

Chapter 3- Kidnapped

"You...your...Brenna?" I stammer as I back away slowly only to be stopped by the rack of bathing suits behind me.

"How do you know that? No one calls me that anymore." she tells me stepping closer.

"You locked Alli up-" I started but Brenna grabbed my arm before I could run.

"I asked how you know that?" she asked again, her hand wrapping tighter around my arm.

"Ow." I say to the tightening hand around my arm.

"Who are you?" she asked again. All I could do is look at her. "Follow me." She pulled me to one of the changing rooms and pushed me in. "Tell me how you know that."

I stayed silent in shock that this made up person was not so 'made up'.

"Please, please, just tell me how you know." she was begging now. Why was this so important to her?

"Um...you were in my dreams. You were going to kill something called Lillies." I told her, a little shaky.

"Your dreams?" she asked. I didn't speak. "Ok, but how could I be in your dreams?" I was still quite. "Please. I won't hurt you. I was friends with Alli."

"I...I...I don't know. But I got these scars after she climbed through the shattered window. I got as far as that before a bright light was in front of me."

"What scars?" Brenna asks. I lift up my shirt. There were scars on all sides of my abdomen. "That's really weird. They look like the same scars on Alli. I can't know for sure. You're going to have to come with me to headquarters."

"WHAT!!! I'm not going anywhere with you." I said tearing my arm from her grasp. What was wrong with this lady?!

"You seem really nice and sweet, and I'm sorry I had to do this." Brenna says as she reaches down to grab something, it's part of a rack. I look around but I'm in a changing room with one way out, and it's behind Brenna.

Taking my chances I leap for the door, but am caught and I feel a hard bang of the poll on my head and I'm out. And another dream begins.

*******

There's a flash of light and then darkness. When I look up see that the car from the last dream is stopped and someone's yelling to me.

"Get in!" without thinking I jump in. When I look over there is a teenage boy next to me. Where I would be freaking out, Ali is just sitting there calm other than her heartbeat that is fluttering.

"Drive!" Ali yells. The boy turns to the front of the car and stepped on the peddle we started going fast. Faster than I've ever gone before but to Ali this was normal.

The car pulls into the 'headquarters'. Whatever that meant. When I get out there's a man about 6'4" infront of me with a bald head. The name Alli pared with it was Michel Job he was the captain of the Lillies and was Ali's Father.

"I told you not to go after him, you could have died!" Michel told Ali.

"Yes but I didn't." Ali said and I felt a sly grin crawl up my face.

"You could have." Michel answered sternly. "Josh, I trust you to take her to her room and report back to your own. Is that clear?"

"Yes sir," Josh, who I'm guessing who the man in the car was, told Michel. Then he told me, "Come along Ali." His hand touched my back and my heart started fluttering again. He started to walk and Ali walked with him.

They went through the double doors of the building until they got to an elevator. The elevator chimed Signaling the car was here. Both Alli and Josh stepped into the elevator. Both were quite until the door was closed, only then did something happen.

Ali turned around and looked at Josh. Then all at once Ali's lips, my lips, were pressed against Josh's. They were soft at first then as time went on they became harder and more intense. Ali's hands found Josh's hair and as she tugged on it he kissed her harder. Then all of a sudden they stopped and the elevator door opened to the hallway. Ali's mind wandered to the security camera's then to the fact they weren't in the elevators only the hallways.

I finally understood. She was forbidden to date him so they were secretly dating. Ali took out a key to the door in front of her, she unlocked it and stepped inside then when her hand found the switch the lights came on and she was awakened from the dream once again.

*********

As my eyelids opened they opened to a brightly light room. Looking around I saw Brenna's face. I tried to get up and run but I couldn't, I was strapped to the table; and the straps were burning my wrists as if I had been squirming before I had woken up.
