______________________________________________________________

I had felt fear many times before especially when I was with Seth, it was dark and muggy my wrists and ankles tied up tightly. It wasn't the fact that I was scared and in a basement of some sort or the fact that I had just been kidnapped, but because I was not alone in the basement.

"Hello?! Is anyone there?" I heard shuffling before a small voice answered back to me I recognized the voice immediately.

"Isabelle is that you?" Autumn's voice drew panic immediately into my body, she was here with me we were taken together.

"Yes it's me." 

"Did you see his face?" I could only shake my head, and find her face through the darkness.

"No." 

"Do you think we will get out?" I couldn't answer right away, because while i knew we were most likely going to die down here I didn't want Autumn to worry so I lied for her benefit.

"Yes." She sighed in content happy with my answer. Then it got me thinking.

Would we get out alive?

*Cameron's Point Of View*

The pain was unbearable, losing my twin and Autumn all in the span of on night, I can only imagine how Shawn feels. 

I don't remember much of what had happened last night, I remember hearing a crash a few screams before everything went spiraling out of control. 

*Flashback*

It was late I was asleep, thinking it was all in my dream I began to hear screams and the sounds of things crashing and breaking. I hadn't noticed something was wrong until, Shawn bursts through my bed room door all beaten and bloodied up.

"He took her, he took her!" He kept screaming over and over again getting more and more hysterical by the second. I shook him trying to pry his attention to me, who was he taking about? Had he just woken up from a bad dream? Why is he all beaten up?

"Shawn get a hold of yourself and calm down, who was taken?" Shawn's eyes finally met mine, his tears now streaming a full force down his face.

"Isabelle, they took Isabelle." Everything stopped, I didn't feel anything for a moment until everything hit me at full force. Without my brain catching up with my actions I staggered like a drunk man to Isabelle's room, stepping in I saw the damage. Things were broken lamps smashed, walls had holes in them, her dresser knocked over things thrown across the room,  but what caught my attention  most was her open balcony doors. The wind lightly fluttered the curtains as the moon light flowed into the dark and decollete room, for a reason I was unsure about I traveled to Autumn's room which was next to Isabelle's I had to ask her if she had seen anything or hear anything. 

But when I opened the door the room was normal yet there were no signs of Autumn anywhere,  I stepped more into the room only to step on something. Picking it up I noticed it was a rag, I was about to walk out and determine she was with Ryan when I smelled something funny. The rag had chloroform on it, meaning not only had Isabelle been kidnapped but so had Autumn. Rushing back to Shawn I had the rag in hand, pulling him by the shirt towards me I spoke rage filling my veins.

"Shawn what the hell happened?"

"I heard a loud scream, ringing through the house along with the sound of things breaking jumping out of bed I rush towards the sound of the scream which lead me to Isabelle's room, I threw the door open there she was being dragged towards her balcony,before I had time to react he put a cloth over her mouth, her eyes widened in terror before she started to relax her eyes barely able to stay open until she had completely passed out. I ran towards the guy, he roughly dropped Isabelle onto the ground hitting me in the face, I started to fight back kicking him in the side he hunched over for a second before throwing me through the wall , punching me a few more times. By the time I got up the room was full of light coming from the moon.  Isabelle's room was empty he had taken her. She was gone again but this time I wasn't able to save her." Shawn's words mingled with his sobs, my heart felt heavy as a few tears fell down my face, I wasn't just crying for Isabelle but also for Autumn. There was just something missing now that she was gone.

"We will get them back I promise." 

*Present Time*

Everyone knew, some cried other hit things but all of us broke. Shawn especially, we couldn't do much but that wasn't going to stop us from trying. We all blame ourselves for what had happened the fact that some of us heard what happened and didn't try to help, or some of us hadn't heard anything or in Shawn's even when he tried to save her he was unable to. That is what I think tortures him the most about the whole thing.

It tortures me too.

*Isabelle's Point Of View*

The noise of a door opening pulled my attention away from the dark confines of our underground prison.

I saw his face before I heard his voice, terror rushes through my veins.

he walked forewords grabbing my hair and pulling my face closer to his, dragging a finger along my cheek as he smiled evilly. 

"Hey Issy miss me?"
