Miracle

Chapter XVII

"SYDNEY!" We all scream , running towards where her voice is heard. She was quickly taken into a black van, and driven away with. Jackson quickly gets into his car and follows the van. I follow Dominic into his car and continue to follow Sydney.

"Why would they take Sydney?!" Dominic exclaims.

"I have no idea why..." I said. I have a strange feeling running through my veins. It's as if... this was all my fault. Somehow, right when Dominic was able to catch up with the van, A whole group of black vans came and distracted him.

"DAMNIT!" He screamed as he hit the steering wheel. As Dominic stopped the car, we realized we were in the middle of no where. I exited the car to the surroundings but there were only dry trees and large bushes.

"How are we going to find her?" I question him.

"We need the police ASAP," He exclaims. I don't think she'd want that... There's something strange about her that I don't think the whole world doesn't need to know. I think we need to do this on our own.

"We can't let the police know, we just have to go to Ethan," I tell him.

"Ethan? Why?" He asks.

"Ethan is a technology genius, and he'll be able to pin point Sydney through her phone," I explain.

"How do you know all this stuff?" He questions. I try to chuckle, not trying to feel worried about Sydney. And it feels impossible. My blood starts rushing through my body, as if I know, it's completely my fault. I really hope the mafia hasn't taken her... Getting her back would be nearly impossible. I mean, for the first time I've made friends. I have been suffering for so long and these people are the reason for my relief. I can't let them suffer now, And never. 

"Call up Ethan, We need to pin point her right away. Her location must be on right now since her phone is with her," I say to him while getting back into the car.

"On it," He says and calls him up while he drives to remaining group. As we get back to the hall, 5 police cars were already there. Damn it. I forgot that everyone knows. I get out of the car as a police officer walks up to me.

"I believe you're a friend of Ms. Lopez?" The officer questions me.

"Yes..." I reply.

"Alright, I need your statement and your details," He says.

"Miracle Lawson. My friend Sydney, was taken in a black van as we were all inside. I and Dominic Pierce caught up to the vans, but a group of black vans came and lead them out without us noticing," I reply. His expression changes completely as soon as I say my name.

"Alright, thank you, That'll be all. We'll do our best to find her," He says before leaving. Something feels really odd. He didn't ask for a statement from Dominic and his expression changed completely when he heard my name. Did I just make a big mistake of telling him my name?

I run towards Ethan and explain to him the method of pin pointing her through her location on her phone. Thank god, her phone had been blue toothed with Ethan's phone before so we have the phone details. Her location was in a very low reception area, like in the woods or so. I call up Aunt Renee to ask her about things.

Me : "Aunt Renee?" I say.

Aunt Renee : "Darling, where are you two? Have you seen the time?" She says.

Me : "I know I know... I'm sorry but I need your help right now,"

Aunt Renee : "What's wrong?!" She exclaims.

Me : "Sydney is gone," I say while tearing up.

Aunt Renee : "How? What do you mean? She was kidnapped?!" She says.

Me : "Yes... I have her location though, Somewhere in the Forestal Lake," I tell her.

Aunt Renee : "Forestal Lake?! But that's where... " She says. 

Me : "Where what?! Tell me!" I exclaim.

Aunt Renee : "The mafia's lair is there.." She says hesitantly.

No... No no... It can't be. She's really in the hands of the mafia. This can't be happening... No... Please lord help me... I can't loose her... How am I going to get her back.

Aunt Renee : "And there's a good reason why he has her," She says.

Me : "What?" I ask softly.

Aunt Renee : "Her true identity. She's not really Sydney Lopez but Cassandra Aiken, your cousin. I believe she knows that your Miracle and she's trying to protect you hidden," Aunt Renee explains. 

No way... She's Cassandra?! Not that I've had many doubts about it... But she's been through the same pain as me. Her family was killed as well... Just like mine. I need to find her, even if I end up dying, I really don't care anymore. 

Aunt Renee : "You need to sav- STOP PLEASE NO! EUGENE! DON'T PLEASE DON'T HURT THEM! EUGENE STOP YOU'RE BEING TERRIBLE! LEAVE THEM ALONE EUGENE! I SWEAR LEAVE THEM OR I'LL KILL YOU!" Aunt Renee screamed before the call cut. 

Who's Eugene?! And what's... Oh no. Dulce and Stephanie... I need to do something, But what?! I go to Rylee and explain to her that everything is wrong. Her and I race into Jackson's car and take off for the apartment. We got a call from the boys about why we suddenly disappeared taking the keys but we replied saying our sister's were sick. Too much is going on right now, I can't tell them too much. We park in front of the apartments and walk towards it. Somehow, the neighbors never hear the commotion or practically, they are never there. We walk into a open door, seeing a room with everything shattered. The vases were broken. There was blood on the ground. Aunt Renee wasn't there and neither the girls. A note was left on the counter. 

"I've found you, My little lamb. Your time's nearly done. By your very favorite person," The note said. I was shivering so badly. So many people are in trouble because of me. Why... Why me?! Why did I have to have my parents killed? Why did I have to live with fear? Why is my family in this? 

"Who's Eugene?" I question Rylee.

"My Father, why?" She replies. Rylee's father is behind this? Is he the mafia?!  

"Your father grabbed your mother you know..." I told her.

"WHAT?! WHY WOULD HE DO SUCH A THING?!" She says. 

"I have no idea..." I said while showing her the note. 

"That isn't my father's writing though. It's too neat. The location where he has everyone held is at the Forestal Lake place," She says.

"Then we are going there," I tell her before running back into the car. Rylee comes and quickly takes control of the steering wheel, taken us to our final destination.
