The Lucky One (a Taylor Swift fanfic)

You, Again?

Chapter 19

Rose

My head hurt.

My back ached.

I tried opening my eyes, but they stayed closed shut.

I could move, but just barely.

Was I dead?

No I couldn't be, I could feel my heart beating faster by the second.

I opened my eyes, black.

Was I blind?

Nope, just a blindfold.

"Hello?" I called

I tried moving my arms, but they were tied up behind my back.

"Madison?" I said

"Ugh, Rose?"

"Are you okay?" I asked

"Er, if you don't count being tied up, I'm alright. Just a few bruises. You?"

"I-"

"Hey!" A voice boomed "keep it down in there!"

"Do you know where we are?" Madi asked

"No" I shook my head "I passed out"

"Same here. What do you think they want from us?"

"Maybe it's a ransom"

"Maybe it's a kidnapping"

"Madi, why do people kidnap?"

"Because they do ransoms for money"

I gave her a blank look even if she couldn't see it.

"Oh, right" she said sheepishly "but anyway, we need to find a way to escape"

"Oh I don't think that will necessary" a voice said.

The blindfold were removed from our eyes and in front of us, there stood a girl in a blue cape with a hood over her head.

Several others were wearing those as well, but in black, surrounding the perimeter of the room.

The girl swiped off her hood.

"Hello Rose, Madison" she smiled

Astrid Dela Cruz.

"You, again?" I said "what the hell do you want?"

"Nothing, actually" she shrugged

"Then why did you bring us here?" Madi demanded "and what are you wearing? Aren't you a street child?"

She laughed "Actually, no. I'm no street child"

"They why did you being is here?" Madison repeated her question

"Because you are destined to" she laughed "wait, that sounds like Harry Potter. But anyway, I was told to"

"By who?" Madison and I chorused

"You'll find out soon enough"

"What's with the British accent?" Madi asked

I almost facepalmed myself.

In times like this, Madi doesn't hesitate to ask silly questions.

Astrid shot her a glare and said "I grew up in Britain half my life, so I decided to retain my British accent. But, of course I have been influenced by the Filipinos..." she drifted off "but anyway, that's not your problem"

"Then what is?"

"The solution, to your problem" Astrid smiled "is in this room"

"We had a problem?" Madison whispered to me

"Apparen-" I cut myself off

Two figures entered the room.

They had their capes on, but one of them had their hood down.

"No way" Madison sucked in a breath

"What the? Are you-you're... oh my god"
