Michaels POV -

We had eventually gotten Abbie to fall asleep and had put her in the spare bedroom. I called Ashton and Calum over and explained the situation to them. They agreed to help us get the real Luke back - no matter what it takes.

Luke was still passed out. The boys helped Jo and I haul him into the dining room where we tied him into a chair in order to keep him restrained.

I closed the door after seeing the boys to their apartments and flopped on the sofa beside Jo. She immediately snuggled into my side and I smiled.

"How are we gonna get luke back?" She questioned.

"I dunno" I shrugged "but I have a feeling it's gonna take more than showing him a few videos and pictures of Abbie this time"

Abbie's POV -

My eyes suddenly snapped open to find I was in a pitch black room. I looked around and relaxed when I realised I was in Jo and Michael's spare bedroom.

Sighing I fell back down onto the mattress.

Do you ever get that feeling that your being watched? 'Cause I feel like that now. A shiver ran down my spine but I shook the horrible thoughts out of my head.

Luke was knocked out in the other room, he couldn't hurt me. Right?

My body froze as a sinister chuckle sounded from outside of the door.

"Oh Abbie, baby" Luke called in a sinister sing song voice whilst turning the door knob.

Well I guess I was wrong.

Michaels POV -
I checked that the apartment doors and windows were locked before walking towards mine and Jo's bedroom.

I'm so tired, it's been a stressful day. I was just about to walk into the bathroom when I stopped as I heard some noises from behind me.

I turned and walked toward the dining room to check on Luke. I froze in the doorway as Luke was no longer there; only an empty chair and untied ropes remained.

Quickly turning I walked toward the spare bedroom.

Luke stood in the doorway with his back towards me. Sensing I was there he turned his head slowly. He smiled darkly at me and waved mockingly before focusing his eyes and narrowing them at my head.

An intense pain spread throughout my skull and travelled to the base of my head. I groaned in pain and fell to the ground in the fetal position.

Abbie's POV -

The door swung open and Luke stood in the centre of the doorway.

I shot out of the bed and moved as close to the far wall as possible.

"Hiya baby" he said mockingly "I've missed you" he finished before advancing towards me.

I started to shake as he got closer and I grabbed the lamp that was placed on the bed-side table, I threw it toward him but he simply dodged it and laughed.

"You can't hurt me physically, baby. You've already done me enough harm mentally for me to hate you" he said in a deep voice and my insides deflated at his words.

He hated me? What did I do?

Tears filled my eyes and I tried to run pass him. He simply caught me and swung me over his shoulder.

He started to walk back through the apartment but stopped when he saw Jo stood blocking the hallway.

"Get out of my way Jo" he shouted.

"No!" Jo stated confidently "let Abbie go!" She yelled but got quieter as Luke narrowed his eyes at her.

"Please?" She whimpered but Luke simply nodded his head in her direction and she flew backwards into the wall behind her.

I gasped as she slid down the wall and fell unconscious. Growing angry I started to kick and scream in his arms but his stride didn't falter.

"Hey jackass!" Michael shouted from behind us.

Luke spun around, making me dizzy in the process, and faced him.

"Yeah you! let go of my friends" he stated and took a step towards us with his hands behind his back.

"And If I don't?" Luke said whilst laughing "what are you going to do about it?" He said.

"Do you really want to wait and see?" Michael challenged.

Luke set me down I the floor but kept a harsh grip on my forearm. He narrowed his eyes at Michael's head, Michael winced but didn't back down.

He strode toward Luke and they both lunged at each other. Luke released his grip on my arm and started to fight Michael back.

Panicked I ran toward Jo to check on her. She was breathing but was still knocked out.

I looked behind me at the commotion. Luke ran and tried to reach out for me only to be yanked backwards by Michael and had a cloth placed over his mouth once again.

---

Exhausted and slightly emotionally unstable, I fell onto the sofa. Michael joined me and cradled a drowsy Jo in his arms.

"What are we going to do now" I said, referring to Luke who has actually chained to the bathroom cabinet this time with a chloroform rag tied around his mouth and nose.

Michael sighed and said "I really don't know. No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't get him to calm down" he ran his hand through his hair and we sat in a tense silence.

"What if we got in contact with another lost soul. Maybe they could tell us what makes them tick and we could reverse it with Luke"
I said and turned to Michael.

"What! Are you crazy?" Michael shouted with wide eyes.

"Did you not see Luke! He was trying to kill us! And you want to go to another lost soul for help! Didn't Luke tell you anything about lost souls!"

"Well yeah, but we might be able to find one that-"

"Won't try to kill us?" Michael finished before letting out a sarcastic laugh.

"You are seriously delusional if you think any one of those 'things' is going to help us!" He stated whilst shaking his head.

Okay, so maybe it's a bad idea. But I have to try - with or without help.
