*Cory's POV*

Is this really happening? Is he really going alone? I feel so bad. What's wrong with me why didn't I just agree to help?! Even worse I shouted at him. I feel like such a bad friend I wish I could just help him! After all we have been through together and suddenly I go and do that to him?! I'm surprise he doesn't hate me, I can't imagine how he feels. What have I done... maybe I should call to the police to help him.

*Tommy's POV*

"I'm coming to save you, don't worry, just hold on, I'll be there soon." I spoke aloud. I'm still kind of upset that the others didn't want to help me. Especially Cory. I know it was a stretch, what I asked them to do but still, I'm surprised they were so reluctant to help me. *ugh* I guess what's happened has happened. Either way, I wasn't going to give up. I was going to find her, doesn't matter if I have to give up my own life she is more important than me, she means too much to me...

I started to pick up the pace as I felt something... she was hurting, what where they doing to her?! I have to get there before she.... you know.... I have to get there quicker, I'm close but not close enough, it would be too easy for her to be killed before I get there, walking isn't quick enough. I didn't run, I knew it wouldn't help as my legs would just give way and I wouldn't be able to walk at all, but I did need to speed up, this wasn't good. I'm not giving up on her! This isn't happening!! I will do whatever I can to get her back home with us and by whatever I mean whatever, I'll be there, I'll be there soon...!!

*Ashlie's POV*

I screamed, over and over again. They bruised my skin, they cut me, they scratched me, they hurt me. I was tied up to a chair in one of the many rooms in there dungeon. It was sick. So many people, including young children, all locked up, just waiting for their fateful day. I kept screaming, and he kept torturing me, but I couldn't move. "Please someone help me" I screeched as he cut my arm again. I couldn't take this. "No one is coming, no one even knows you are gone, your friends don't care about you, they would have saved you by now if they did." They kept telling me this over and over, but I know that's not true... they will come for me... right?

*Nick's POV*

"This is not happening... this is not happening... this is not happening!!" Cory chanted over and over. "Dude chill it will be fine, Tommy is strong, and Ashlie probably isn't even hurt. It's. Fine." I knew that was I was saying wasn't true, sure Tommy is strong but he is weak minded, that kinda sounded rude... I know it's not his fault and all but he is more than capable of breaking down and having some sorta anxiety attack every minute. Who knows what they would do to him if they saw him, like that, he is more than vulnerable. "Dude how can you be so calm about this! *ugh* I'm going to see if UNi is online he is always good at reassurance" Cory said as he picked up his phone and texted UNi. "Dude, listen to me, he will be fine, I promise you, so will Ashlie." I said. Ashlie isn't weak, I know she will find a way out, plus if anyone should be helping her it should be me, it's not fair that suddenly Tommy is 'the best' just because he over worries.

*UNi's POV*

I was just waking up at 9:00am when I got a text from Cory. "That's odd, it's 4:00am in America, I wonder what's going on?" I questioned as I read the text aloud. "Hey UNi, I know it's late, well it's 9:00 for you but is late for us but I need to talk to you right now, it's urgent." He seemed worried, I hope everything is okay. "I'm here, what's wrong, you sound worried is everything okay?" I write back, waiting eagerly for a response. "It's Tommy and Ashlie, Ashlie was kidnapped and me and Nick where huge jerks. Tommy wanted to go and find her after hours of her being missing, but we refused. Tommy decided to go alone and now I'm worried, what if he.... *ugh* please I just need to talk to you right now, you are good at reassurance, can you call me? It would really help to hear your voice." I smiled and blushed a bit at the sound of that. It was nice to hear that I can help, even though I've never met them in real life, I just hope I get to see them all soon. Sometimes I wish I didn't live in the UK, it would be so much easier. "Yeah I can call" I replied and waited for my ringtone to play.

*Cory's POV*

"UNi thank God you are here!" I said, I was happy that he was there, he's good with things like this. "Anytime bro, can you explain to me what happened?" He questioned as I started to explain. "It's kind of complicated but, we were playing hide and seek when we heard Ashlie scream. When we went over there was nothing outside so maybe it was just a prank, but now we aren't so sure." "I see.." he said. I carried on explaining. "Then Tommy was so desperate to go and find her, he was so worried, I don't blame him to be perfectly honest. Me and Nick refused to help him though. We where huge jerks, we told him he was being stupid. No matter what he said we refused, so he went alone. I feel so bad and I'm just worried sick about them both.." "Cory.." UNi said in a sympathetic voice. "Maybe this was the right thing to do, Tommy is strong, not to mention he's like supernatural or whatever it was, he may have mental disorders but that doesn't mean he isn't capable of this alone, because we both know he is, don't we?" His voice was soft and soothing. It helps a lot to hear him talk. "Your right.. if he isn't back in an hour I'm calling the police though, loosing Ashlie would be enough, loosing them both would be horrible." I told him. A tear fell down my right cheek at the thought of loosing them. "Good idea, and Cory don't worry too much, he's Tommy and she is Ashlie, you have to admit they aren't exactly chickens." He said trying to lighten the mood. I laughed a bit, "thanks UNi, all we can do now is wait." "Agreed." He spoke. "Hey UNi..?" I ask. "Yeah?" He responds. "Do you mind staying on the phone for a bit? I mean it's okay if you are busy it just helps to talk to you.." "I would be happy to!" I smiled at his response.

Nick had gone back to sleep but I stayed up talking to UNi. He cheered me up, as always, and made me stop worrying so much. An hour was almost up, I was going to call the police. I know that Tommy is capable by himself but at least then he has some back up who know what they are doing instead of charging in blind. I just hope he is okay..

*Tommy's POV*

I stopped at this place where I could sense so much fear and sadness, and even despair. "This had to be the place.." I whispered to myself as I walked round behind a load of trees trying to find something, anything... I found some sort of trap door. My heart was pounding, I can't remember the last time I was this nervous, but I wasn't giving up. The last thing I need right now is a panic attack. I found a lever on the side of one of the trees. It was pitch black and I could hardly see anything, but I still managed to find it.

Suddenly I heard a huge something lift up. I could hear voices coming from under the group. This is the one time my extremely sensitive hearing comes in use. A huge light came from around a mile away, I ran over to it and found an entrance to.. well I don't quite know what it is, but it definitely looks promising. The voices got louder and louder the closer I got to it. This had to be it, she had to be down there! How do I get her without getting caught? I don't even know if it is her or not, this is going to be risky and I have to act as stealthy as possible, but I can do this, I'm coming to save you Ashlie..

Suddenly I heard someone scream. It was Ashlie, she was in pain, a lot of pain. She was down there, and it was my job to save her. Step one complete, located..
