Sam's POV

I turn on the balls of my feet to find the source of my name. Still gripping my arms, I start walking along the wall while taking in my surroundings when I spot a cage in the back corner of the room.

I start walking rapidly towards it. The closer I get to the cage, I start to make out the shape of a person. I finally get up to the cage and take a close look at the person sitting inside. I inhale sharply as I recognize the person who is in the cage.

"Courtney? What are you doing here?" I ask as I crouch next to the cage.

"I could ask you the same thing." She says horsely.

"It doesn't matter. I'm gonna run and get some help. I'll be back as soon as I can!" I say as I start back towards the stairs while pulling out my phone and punch in a number.

Ring ring ri-

"Hello?" The person on the other end answers.

"Brennan?" I ask as I bolt up the stairs and stop in the kitchen to talk to him.

"Yeah? What's up Sam?" He asks.

"Did you know that your parents have Courtney trapped in your basement?"

"No Sam. I did not." he says before he hangs up.

"You should really learn to not go snooping  where you don't belong." I hear someone say behind me. I turn slowly to find myself facing Brennan.

Suddenly, I feel Brennan's fist connect with my cheek, causing me to drop to the floor. He then starts kicking me in the ribs before grabbing my shirt and pulling me towards the stairs before throwing me headlong downstairs to the basement.

Colby's POV

I groggily open my eyes and look up to see where I am. After looking around for a minute, I come to the rough conclusion that I'm in a cellar or basement. My eyes scan the room again and I notice a cage in the back corner with a shape inside.

Maybe a dog?

My thought changes when I see the shape sit up and realize that it's a person on the other side of the iron bars.

I try to take a step towards them when I become aware that I'm chained to the wall. I laugh as I inspect the chains.

Really? This is what they chose to contain me?

I jerk my arm against the chains as hard as I can before I yelp at the pain in my wrist caused by the cuff.

"Why isn't this working?" I whisper to myself as I try to pry the cuff off with no luck.

"Your powers won't work. He injected us with something that basically turns us temporarily normal." a hoarse voice says from the direction of the cage.

"Who are you?" I ask as I try to make out the persons face.

"You can't ditch me in the woods since you're chained to one place now." The person says before letting out a small chuckle.

It clicks instantly. "Courtney?! How long have you been here?" I ask suddenly.

"Honestly, I don't know. Hours, days, weeks? I'm not normally awake long enough to know." She replies.

"And you won't be getting out anytime soon. Never for that matter."

I spin around to find the source of the familiar voice, only to come face to face with Brennan Taylor.
