Red's POV

Yeesh.  AK just threw me in a corner away from Becca, said don't move, and left.

I glanced over at Becca and frowned.

Was that...dried blood on her mouth?  What the heck did she do?  Also, that hoodie dude I saw outside was sitting in front of her, seemingly lost in thought.

I looked at the doorway then stood up, walking over next to Becca and sitting back down.

"Is she ok?"  I asked.

The hoodie man jumped a little before looking at me and frowning.  "Why would you care?"

I winced.  I couldn't tell him.  Kam's life depended on me keeping it a secret.  "...Can't a man be curious?"  I settled with that.

Becca suddenly coughed harshly, causing both of us to jump back.

She turned her head away from us and threw up some blood on the ground.

"Woly Jesus!"  I exclaimed.

Once she finished, she shuddered and opened her eyes, looking at us.

She pulled at her cuffs a bit before stopping and shuddering again.  She looked towards the hooded man and mouthed something.

"Nick?"  He asked.

She nodded.

He sighed and stood up, giving me a don't-touch-her look before walking out the doorway.

Becca looked at me and mouthed something.

"Why...am I...here?"  I guessed.

She nodded.

I smiled sheepishly.  "Ahh...I kinda screwed up a scouting mission....  Yeaaa...not too proud of that."

She rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"Red, get away from her."  Nick's voice growled.

I looked at him and raised an eyebrow.  I sighed and scooted a little bit away from her, sitting back against the glass wall that was near her.

Nick sighed heavily and crouched down in front of Becca.  "Becca, is there something you're not telling us?"

I winced slightly.  Aaaaaand they found out, too.  Great, now all our friends are gonna die.

Becca flinched and looked away.

Nick placed a hand on her cheek and forced her to look at him.

"Becca...."

She looked down.  She nodded slowly, a tear falling down her face.

My heart broke a little at the sight.  It reminded me of Lalia whenever she came home crying because of a bully.

Lalia.

I hadn't thought about her in a while.

I missed her.

I looked back at the doorway to see the rest of the gang and the hooded guy, a guy with a...rainbow-bodied dinosaur on his shirt?  Weird.  And a different dude in sunglasses with a tux.

AK was staring at me angrily.  I smirked a little.  What was he gonna do, shoot me?  Nick wouldn't allow that...for now, anyways.

I looked back to see Nick pull out a bunch of scraps of paper and swiftly arrange them.  Becca was biting her lip slightly.

Once Nick finished arranging them, he unhandcuffed Becca and tossed a book to her.  She caught it and wiped the blood off her mouth and the tears off her face.

I sighed internally.  Whatever that was, it had revealed her secret, and she obviously was frightened.  I was frightened for her.  And for our friends.

Becca's POV

'What do you want to know?'

"Well, for one, how did you really get here?"

I sighed.  'Well, my phone, which never disappeared from my dimension, was called by my phone, which never disappeared from this dimension and was in Red's possession until Keona got it, and it opened a portal between our worlds, allowing Red to come through and kidnap my sister, my best friend, my boyfriend, and I.  My friends and sister are still with Keona somewhere, though I have no clue where.  You'll have to either ask Red, if he'll cooperate, or find it somehow.'

As Nick read it, I shook my hand around a bit.  It hurt writing so much.

I looked over at Red to see him just studying me.

Nick glanced at Red.  "Honestly, Becca, I don't think he will."

"Will what?"  Red asked.

Nick handed the book back to me.

'Tell us where Keona's base is.'

Red clenched his fists and growled.  "I want to tell you.  I really do, Becca.  But...I just can't.  If I do, she'll kill all your friends and mine!"

'Wait, Kam?'

He nodded.  "I'm not who I was anymore.  After you guys left, I gathered up my men and left the prison.  We started scavenging for actual food, and we also helped a couple people.  One of those people...was Keona.  She seemed injured, but it was a trap.  Now she has Kam...and I just don't know what to do!  I can't lose him!  He's my only connection to my family."

I frowned.

He then flinched.  "And...she kinda already mangled your sister...."

What.

'What did she do.'

Screw question marks.

Red winced at my handwriting.  "Well...let's just say she has crescent moon scars on both sides of her face and...has an eyepatch over her left eye hole...."

'She stabbed her eye!?!?'

"Out.  She doesn't even have a left eye anymore."  Red was subconsciously shrinking back bit by bit.  Even in the short time my sister and I had been together in his view, he knew how protective of her I was.  The fact that I was scaring him was a slight victory.  You don't just scare Red the cannibal easily at all.  He knew how I was feeling.

And my Lord I was pissed.

I was starting to see red in the corners of my vision.  It was a strange feeling.

I took a deep breath.  'Nick, I cannot allow Keona to do this any longer.  We need to go NOW.'

Nick was also sort of scooting away from me.  It was subtle, but at the moment, I didn't care.  Who knew what was happening to Gerrin and Jane, too?

(I do!  :D)

Gerrin's POV

Geez, could they possibly lay off the chloroform?  I mean, that was, like, the 3rd time!

Seriously, every time I stirred, they just knocked me out again.  That could not be healthy for my body.

I slowly opened my eyes, my handcuffed wrists unconsciously trying to rub the sleep from my eyes, but once again being stopped.

What I woke up to was not pleasant.

Keona's face.

"Woly Jesus, Keona!"  I exclaimed, attempting to jump back, though it obviously failing because I was in a chair.

She groaned.  "I'm not KEona, I'm POssessed."

I looked closer.  She did have brown eyes.  "Another ego?"

"No, Her twIn sister.  SerioUsly."

I frowned.  "Then where the heck is Keona?"

Possessed stepped back and smirked evilly.  "DeAd.  Shot thRough the heAd by mE."

I gaped at her.  I was speechless.

She then began walking around me.

"KeoNa obviOusly put yoU here To lure BecCa...I wanT to kill You, but I stilL neEd you as baiT for her...."  She chuckled evilly.  "This Might bE easier thaN I thOught...espeCIally with all tHree of you heRe...."

I heard muffled yelling and dragging sounds as 2 chairs were dragged out.  One with Jane, and one with Rachel.  Both handcuffed.  Both gagged.

"They Wouldn't shUt up on The wAy up Here."  Possessed said.

They set them down next to me.  We all went wide-eyed as we stared at each other.  Rachel had scars down both sides of her face and an eyepatch over her left eye.

"What's thIs?"  Possessed wondered as she walked over to Rachel.

Rachel shrunk back, though not far.

Possessed lifted up her patch and laughed.

She had no left eye.

"Well, seeMs like InsaNity had some fUn.  ThougH not aNymore...."  Possessed muttered as she released the patch.

She ungagged Jane and Rachel and stood back.  The men who had carried them in stood to the sides of us.

"Gerrin, what did she mean by 'not anymore?'"  Jane asked.

I gritted my teeth.  "She killed Keona....  She's also somewhat continuing Keona's plan...lure Becca in...then kill us all...."
