Chapter 29 A noise?

Lisa's POV

We were all asleep when I heard a noise. I got up and woke Christina up. We got up and went Into the other room. We woke up Mike,

Alex, Katherine, dani, Amy, Christian, nick and Joey. We all went into our room and we locked the door. Nick and Alex grab a baseball bat and a hockey stick and go check downstairs. I do a head count and we are missing someone. I realize it's Lauren.

Lauren? I ask

No one answers

Lauren's POV

I wake up and go to the bathroom. I walk out and I hear talking downstairs and then I hear a crash. I go downstairs only to be grabbed and pinned to a wall.

Mike was on the floor with tape around his hands mouth and his feet. Alex was out on the ground.

They pull mike up to a sitting position.

A guy comes up to me and punches me In the stomach. I start to cough badly

Everyone from upstairs get down here now or the three people already down here will die! This is your only warning! Come down slowly! He yells

Everyone does what there told.

One of the guys slam me into the wall and I hit the ground

He kicks me three times and puts his foot on my back

Don't get up! He yells

Lisa saw what had just happened and she was pissed. She was about to turn around but i mouthed no to her and she kept walking. I was last to go out of the house. I see two vans and a car. I get put in the trunk of the car. I feel the car start and them move. After what it seemed like a million years the car finally stops. They pull me out and put me in a cell. I look and see Amy to my right and Mike to my left. I see Lisa and Christina across from me. The room was so quiet.

Everyone ok? I ask loudly

Yes they all say

Everyone shut up! Yells a voice

We all go quiet.

They walk over to me.

She then walks to Amy's cell

She slaps me and my cheek stings

They bring Lisa in the room. Sara undoes the buckles on me and shoves me into the wall. She puts Lisa in it.

She starts beating me up.

She punches, kicks, slaps me and then cuts my stomach. She then stops.

They take Lisa in and bring Katherine. They beat me and Kath has to watch. They then take Kath out and bring Ames in. They beat me and cut me more and then they bring in Christina. She beats me and cuts me more and then takes Christina out. They then bring Alex in. She started to beat me and Alex tried breaking the buckles.
