I wake up in a hot sweat. When I open my eyes, I begin to notice my surroundings. I seem to be in a small concrete room. My wrists and ankles are restrained and my mouth is covered with tape.

I feel chills run down my back as the sound of heels clacking fills my ears. Everything is pretty dark and it's hard to see but, I recognize that ponytail anywhere.

Ariana.

She leans closely into my face then rips the tape off.

"Ow!" I howl in pain. She laughs then throws it on the floor. "There's plenty more where that came from."

"Why are you doing this to me?" I huff.

"It's simple. I hate you." She smiles and her two minions laugh.

I sigh and clear my throat. I'm officially over this shit.

"Why do you hate me? If any I should be the one filled with hatred. You took everything from me!"

"I did nothing to you!" She yelled back. "And i'm tired of your mouth."

She walked over to me and put another piece of tape over my mouth then walked away with her minions.

What the hell am I gonna do now?

Mark and everyone else quickly introduced themselves while we sat on the couch. I was trying to explain everything I knew about the situation. Truth is, I didn't really know anything.

"So you're telling me, that sexy chick that came to pick up Eris is planning on harming her?" Josiah asked playfully.

Charlie smacked him over the head. "Can you stop being a dipshit for one second? Our new found friend may be no more if we keep playing around."

I look at Mark, who was calling some buddies, hopefully. He gets off the phone then looks at everyone. "My bud Travis says he saw a small car heading into town from here. Luke, stay with Sin. The rest of us are going to go find these bitches."

I nod and hand him the keys while we all get up. We head to the car and I sit in the passengers seat. I wait for everyone else to get in and see they have guns and knives.

"Whoa, do you really need machetes? They're 17 year old girls." I look at all of them in disbelief. "That's the worst kind." Mark starts up the car and then we drive off.
