No one's POV:
Neither siblings responded to her question.
" Michael.. " Bella whimpered and cried into hands. Tori looked at her and made a disgusted face.
" Don't.. make a sound " Tori hissed, setting Bella in her brothers arms. As they got ready to leave their hideout, Zig and Tori ditched their phone so that they couldn't be traced anymore.
They took off leaving most of their things behind for officers to find. Zig led the way while holding Bella, with Tori following behind.
" Zig, where are we going? " Tori asked. For once she wasn't in charge.
" I don't know but she's asleep, and we need to find somewhere, "  he said.
" How are we going to do this? "
"I don't know but I'm not going to hurt her. "
"Too late for that. "
" Shut up! "
" Hey! Look if we go to that park we could just look like she's our little sister. " They both got silent at that, unintentionally remembering sad memories with their little sister.
" She's Sky's age. " Zig said sadly.
" I know, but she looks younger. " Tori whispered, looking at the little girl who cried herself to sleep on Zig's shoulder.
" Listen, " Zig warned, holding up a finger and turning quiet. They could hear twigs being snapped and the sounds of dogs barking loudly. ( search & rescue dogs )
Said dogs woke up Bella with a gasp, thinking she was back in the cage with the dogs she met back in the hideout. Zig put his hand over her mouth causing her to choke on her breath, with big pains in her leg as she struggled to breath and calm down. He quickly removed his hand and tried calming her down to keep her quiet.
When the officers pulled up to the hideout where the siblings kept Bella they came up empty. As other officers walked around they discovered 2 phones in the surrounding area. The phones belonged to the twins.
" Yeah, they've ditched their cellphones here and they've gone with the girl. " an officer radioed. Michael ran up panicked, " wha- wait where's my sister?? " he asked frantically.
" They fled with her. " the officer explained.
" Dammit! " Michael cursed.
" We'll just search the area for her, they couldn't have gotten far. It appears that they just left. "
Zig heard another dog bark, but this one seemed closer. " hurry!!! " Tori hissed. Zig threw his jacket over Bella who decided to fight back. " No " she said " yes " he said " NO, " she said " YES! " He yelled before holding it down on her. She shut her eyes, she had to admit it was pretty useful against the cold. The wind was blowing in her face and now she had something to block it.
They had to jump across the ravine,

Tori was ahead but with Bella in his arms Zig struggled to keep up. Bella, who was covered by his jacket, started to cry again, catching his attention. He looked down at her, " are you ok?"  he asked.
Bella didn't say anything but her eyes were all tears as she shook her head no. Zig turned around before announcing, " Tori, we need to stop. "
" no! " she yelled aggressively.
Zig brought out  a needle he stole from the nurses office after he had been beaten up by some friends of Michael. " Yeah, we do. "
He rolled up the sleeves of Bella's shirt before injecting it into her, causing her to scream loudly.
They heard a crack and knew they'd been caught. " FREEZE!!! " they heard a loud voice coming from the sheriff behind them. Surrounded by officers and Michael himself, Zig slowly placed his jacket on the ground first, before setting Bella on top of it. She wasn't feeling very well, and everything seemed to be spinning all around her. She felt like she was going to fall sleep. Michael ran to his little sister, thankful to see her again. After releasing her from a hug he noticed something. " why isn't she talking? " he asked. Someone looked at her, " she's been drugged, we need to take her right away. "

Michael had her laying down in his lap after the arrival of the ambulance who gave her another shot to reverse the effects of what Zig had given her. He stroked his sisters hair and waited for her to wake up. He was so confused yet so thankful that she was here with him. He felt guilty that all of this could have been prevented. He couldn't imagine what she must've been feeling when she was with those freaks. He hugged her tighter and hoped that this would all be over now that the twins had been caught.
Unfortunately, It wouldn't over be in the least bit. There was still much more to find out.
