Emelia’s P.O.V

My breath picks up as I gradually awaken from my sleep. I feel someone grasping my hand and I squeeze back.

“Emelia?” I hear a very recognisable Australian accent say.

As soon as I hear his voice I flutter my eyes open and look at him gazing up at me.

Luke!!” I squeak and he smiles, eloping me in a hug.  We stay in a hold for a few seconds until my face drops and I start to get anxious about Hazel.

“Where’s Hazel?” I ask with a bit of hope in my voice.  Luke’s face saddens at that mention and I can tell by the look in her eyes she’s not ok.

Luke…” I say uneasily while tears start to well in my eyes. He holds me tighter and begins crying.

They still have her” he says in between sobs.  

We stay in each other’s arms silently grieving over Hazel for another 20 minutes when a guy in a FBI vest walks in.

It’s good to see your doing ok Emelia, Luke’s informed me on the trauma you too have endured over these past few months” he says.

The closer we get to finding who did this the closer we will get to finding your baby” he continues.

I whimper at that mention and shakily reply.  “But we were gone for 10 months and you couldn’t find us, Luke is one of the most famous people in the world yet he was still missing for 10 months, how are you supposed to find our baby if you couldn’t manage to find us” I say, anger building in my tone.

He looks back at me with a sorry look and replies to my statement. “But this time we have an advantage on the case. We have you. You lived there, you saw them. We have already learnt so much from what Luke has told us and have gained multiple leads.”

I just nod at him and clasp onto Luke harder.

“Now from what we know, this “Miss X” is behind the whole thing so we would like to base our investigation on identifying her. Luke you told me that when you were drugged there was a woman figure behind the guys and she took your child. We believe that this woman is “Miss X” and since you saw her we would like to bring a sketch artist in to talk to you so we can get a rough image”. He continues.

Bring them in, I’ll do it, anything to get my little Hazel back”. Luke replies.

The FBI agent then motions for someone to come in and a girl in a pant suit and a sketch book comes in.  

Ok can you start of by describing her ethnicity and roughly her size” the girl says to Luke.

Luke replies and eventually they start describing her more and more and even I get a rough image in my mind. It sends shiver down my spine that this is the person who kidnapped me and held me hostage for 10 months and who currently is in possession of my child.

Soon after the artist finishes up with the sketch and hands it to the FBI agent. “Ah” he says looking at the picture. “That’s Elizabeth Xander, she has been known to be a bit psychotic with celebrities, I arrested her for trying to kidnap a one direction member last year”  he continues.

I look up at him shocked.  It feels so weird to hear a name to this mysterious “Miss X” it feels like this nightmare may be finally over.

The FBI agent then turns to Luke and I and says. “Luke have you been discharged already?”

“Yep I was yesterday, I have just been here for Emelia” Luke replies.

OK well I’m sorry but Emelia you obviously need to stay here but If you want to Luke you can come with me, we are going to go get your baby” the man says.

Me and Luke look to each other with the biggest grins on our faces, we are getting our Hazel back!!! Luke gives me look asking for permission to go and I just nod and tell him to “go and get our daughter”.

He leans in and gives me a sweat kiss and then follows the FBI agent out the door.

A/N

I am not doing goals because you guys dislike them and I don't want to dissapiont you so I will now update straight after I write a chapter.

I have a quick question though. There is only 2 chapters of this story left but I will continue writing about their life after being free. This means it will be about them dealing with the after shock of this experience, the media attention as well as being teen parents and Luke re-starting his career.

Would you like me to put this all in a sequel (I will start writing it straight after I finish writing the last chapter of this). Or would you like me continue writing this different storyline in this fanfiction and just add new chapters.
