MCSM: Reformed Rescuers #4

Part 11 (Lukas and Jess)

Lukas slowly gained conciousness. His heart skipped a beat as he remembered what happened, "JESSE!" He yelled. He was surrounded by darkness and held still by ropes.

"Is that blonde guy?"

"Lukas?" 

He flipped his head around, panic was taking him over, "Where's Jesse?"

"It's just Ivor and Jess." Jess said, "We got separated from the others. Are you alright?"

Lukas sighed, at least he was with people he knew, "Oh thank goodness you're here. Wait. No! Why are you here! Why are any of us here?" Lukas rushed the words. Ivor said in a slow voice, "Louis. You need to relax a little bit. We can't do anything. Our armor and inventory is gone. We're stuck for now." Then, Jess sighed, "Petra and I got kidnapped too."

Lukas shook his head, "What do they want with us?"

Ivor rolled his eyes, "They're inviting us over for a nice tea party for ruining their lives. What do you think? They're planning on killing us all!" He shouted the last sentence.

"Wow. That's not negative at all." Lukas flinched. Jess rolled his eyes, "That's why we need to escape as soon as they get us out of this room. Mevia said the doors were now locked, so there was no point in trying." He tilted his head, motioning to his left, "Soren's in here now. He tried to escape, but he was caught."

Lukas looked over at Soren who was now sound asleep in his seat. He turned back to the others, "How long was I out?"

Jess shrugged, "Not much longer than me. I have no idea how long it was. I thought four months was just a few days when I was in my coma last year, I'm not the best person to ask." Ivor shrugged as well.

"Right." Lukas muttered, "What can we do until then? How can we get the others?"

"I bet they're all planning on doing the same thing. We can figure something out when they free us from this room and take us to wherever they want to kill us, It'll just have to be fast thinking." Ivor said.

Soren suddenly screeched causing the other three boys to jump. Soren looked around mildly and his gaze softened when he saw the others. "Here we go again. At least there's no tape on my mouth this time."

"Again?" All three boys said in unison. Soren nodded, "I was in a room with Gabriel and Axel. Axel got us out of the ropes and we tried to rescue some of the others. We got into a room with Otto, Harper and Jesse and tried to free them."

"And?" Ivor leaned forwards as far as he could, "Are they alright?"

"To be completely honest, we're better off than they are."

All three boys were instantly on edge, "What do you mean?" Lukas asked. Soren looked up, "They were dangling from their wrists and their mouths were duct taped shut when we went in there. They had to be in a lot of pain. Once we finally loosened them, we were caught. Their wrists and hands were purple. I feel really bad. I wish we could've gotten them out."

"Are you ever going to be the hero you always called yourself all those years, or are you just going to keep lying and running from the danger?" Ivor growled. Soren narrowed his eyes at Ivor, "Didn't you hear what I said? I tried! I didn't run away!"

"Yes. But that didn't work, now did it?" Ivor glared back, "My wife was in there. My wife, her friend, and the girl who is like a daughter to me. You had the chance to be free and you were beat by one person!"

Soren yelled, "Like I said: It wasn't my fault. None of us beat her. She used a gas on us and we all got knocked out again!"

Jess shouted, "SHUT UP!" Once they were silent, Jess continued, "Sitting here fighting isn't going to get us anywhere now is it? It wasn't Soren's fault. At least this time he didn't run from the danger."
