(A/N) Got 2 things to say before I start this chapter, first off, 100 reads and I'm only on the 4th chapter I wasn't expecting that! I know I'm not the best at writing but I  just write what comes to mind! Thanks for taking your time to read this, even though it's absolute crap xD! Also I went to comic con yesterday and I met 2 of my Internet friends, that's why there wasn't an upload, comic con was amazing I got a load of anime stuff and overwatch stuff, it was amazing! Anyway that being said let's get on with the chapter!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Previously*
I heard a scream, she was down there, and it was my job to save her. Step one complete. Located.

*Ashlie's POV*

"Make it stop, make it stop, make it stop, MAKE IT STOP!" I cried over and over again. I couldn't take this. I couldn't escape. I was starting to believe what they where telling me. Do the others know I'm gone? Are they coming to save me? Do they actually care about me? They must do, they have to... "You still think you are going to make it out alive, don't you!" He cackled. Tears where streaming down my face. My heart was racing. Every second that past was a chance that they would strike me down. The worst part is, there isn't anything I can do about it. "What's the matter? Scared?! What a wimp!" I didn't speak. I couldn't. No noise came out, only sounds. I was shaking like mad. Kinda reminded me of how I used to call Tommy a 'vibrating cat' when he used to shake... (A/N, if you know me irl you will understand that joke xD) heck I miss those guys.. where are they? "Not goin' to speak I see." I tried my hardest to talk, but I just screamed. He was right. My friends weren't coming for me. Not Nick, not Cory, not even Tommy. He bend down again and slit my wrist again. Right over the closed cut that was already there. I screamed again, even more tears streamed down my face. Maybe I should just give up... maybe I should.... no. I can't. What would the other do, what would Tommy do if he found out that I... *ugh* I have to keep going. If not for myself, for them.

*Tommy's POV*

I don't think I've ever been more scared in my life. Only this time, if I showed that I was scared, it could be fatal. I heard her scream so many times. Along with the cries of the others all locked up. As much as I wanted to save everyone, Ashlie is my main priority. I have to save her I can't let her die! I can't loose her. I've lost too many people that I love I won't loose another. This was for her. I could hear them talking to her, what they said made me angry. How dare they tell her that we don't care for her! She better not believe what they are saying!

Luckily, because of my sensitive hearing it made it so much easier for me to find where she was. I could hear everything. It was so upsetting. I wish I could help them all but it would be pretty much impossible. The dungeon was full of traps so it took forever to get through. The puzzles weren't easy either, but I managed. It was tough, but I wasn't going to give up that easily!

*Cory's POV*

"Hey Nick?" I asked. "What's up?" He replied. "Do you think it was a good idea letting Tommy go alone. I mean what if he-" "He will be fine trust me stop worrying!" Nick cut me off mid sentence. Uni had to leave to get ready. It's 6:00am for us now and Tommy still hasn't come back. I'm so worried. I should really call the police but I can't. I don't even know where he is and he isn't exactly a child, no matter how childish he acts. I just hope he is okay, not even to mention Ashlie. At first I managed to tell myself it was just a joke but by now I know this isn't a joke. It would take a miracle for her to be okay, I just hope she is alive still... I'm not willing to loose anyone.

*Nick's POV*

I don't understand why everyone is so worried, it's not like anything has happened! Ashlie and Tommy are probably just working together to pull a prank on us! It's not like- ...no... I can't lie to myself. On the outside I can seem strong like I don't care, but on the inside, this hurts. I know this isn't just some game, but I don't want to seem weak. I'm not the bad guy, I just don't want to seem like a wimp. Inside I'm worried sick too, about both Tommy and Ashlie. What if they are hurt... what if they... no... I need to stay strong I can't let my inner emotions out I have to stand up tall and take it. I'm not weak. I'm strong. I just have to act tough!

"I wanna invite Uni over.. I wanna meet him." Cory spoke, breaking the silence. "Dude that was sudden. We wanna meet him to but he lives in the UK it's an 8 hour plane ride." I said in response. "I know but, I don't know I just, I want to see him in real life. Then the entire group will be together." Cory said. I understood what he was saying. It would be nice to finally meet Uni, after living with the others for a few months it kinda feel wrong him not being here. "Maybe after everything with Tommy and Ashlie has cleared up and we are certain they are safe we could invite him over?" I suggested. "That sounds cool, I wanna tell him the idea, then maybe he can arrange to get a plane ticket or something." Cory said, a weak smile lined his lips. "Sounds cool." I said as he walked off and pulled out his phone. "Hey Cory?" I asked stopping him from leaving. "Yeah?" "Try not to worry too much, okay? If they aren't back in 30 minutes then we will call the police and tell them how long they have been missing, sound good?" I told him, I was worried, but he couldn't tell. I just wanted to show that I do care. "Okay." He said, then he walked off while texting Uni. Gosh I really hope Tom and Ash are okay...

*Tommy's POV*

I kept making my way through the maze of a dungeon, hiding from members of their little gang thing, trying to not get killed by all the traps, trying to be as quite as possible and not be detected. It was tough. I could still hear them talking to Ashlie when I came to the door of the room she was being kept in. This guy, he must have been the leader, he was in there with her, holding a knife, talking rubbish to her about how me and the others don't care. Does he really think I would have come all this way, risking my life if I didn't care. Little worm... I slowly took my mirror shard that I've had since I was a child, gosh this shard had been through a lot, out of my back pocket, I knew I would need it.

The man who was cutting and bruising Ashlie held a sharp, obvious new knife. It was at that point where I had to do something....

I froze. I couldn't move. Fear had taken over me. Out of all the times why does anxiety have to kill me now. No no no no no NO THIS ISN'T HAPPENING!! "It's getting boring harming you now, I suppose I better get rid of you, but how to do it..?" The man said. I broke out of my mind and I was able to move, I was still shaking but at least I want paralysed with fear. "PLEASE LET ME GO PLEASE!" I heard Ashlie screaming. "*heheh* you really think it's THAT easy, what a moron!" I wasn't going to stand for this! "I guess I'll just use this!" He said gesturing to his knife, *heheheh* this is going to be fun." He crouched down in front of her and put the knife to her neck. "Say goodbye.." he said with a smile on his face.

*Ashlie's POV*

This was it... I was over. Why didn't the others try to save me? Maybe he was right... maybe they don't care about me. A tear slid down my face as I got ready for the impact of the knife, ready for my world to go black. I screamed and shut my eyes. Goodbye..

He started to count down. 5... this was it, this was actually happening. 4... the others probably don't even know I'm gone. 3... was I even anything to them? Or did I just get in the way? 2... this is it... goodbye Nick, goodbye Cory, goodbye Uni... Tommy....

Suddenly I heard something go past my face really fast. I opened my eyes to see what had happened...

*Tommy's POV*

I threw my mirror shard at the man, it went straight through his skull and killed him in a instant, I rushed over and started to untie Ashlie. "Let's get you outta here." I said as I started to unravel the ropes. "Tommy how did you... what did... what happened?!" Ashlie questioned but I didn't answer. I grabbed my mirror shard that was stuck in the wall and helped Ashlie up.

She jumped at me and flung her arms around my neck. I held her tightly, she held onto me tight too, like she was gripping onto me for dear life. I never wanted it to end. After a few minutes I hear her whisper in my ear, "Don't let go of me just yet." I smiled, "Never." I felt her snuggle down onto my shoulder, I couldn't help but smile. I can't even imagine what she had just been through. I could have gotten here sooner but I decided to wait for the others, how stupid could I get? That doesn't matter now, she is safe, that's all I care about. I didn't loose my life in the rescue mission either so I guess that's a bonus.

"We should probably get out of this place before we get caught." Ashlie said and she lifted her head from my shoulder but still stayed gripping onto me. "Yeah, I know how to get out, can you walk?" I asked. I probably wouldn't be able to walk after that, whether I have problems with my legs or not. "I think so, my left leg still hurts a bunch when I walk but I can manage." She said. "Here lean on me, it will be easier for you to walk this way." I offered as I took her arm and helped her to try to walk. "Thanks, okay lead the way." We made our way out through the maze of a dungeon and out back into the streets. We were safe, she was safe. Step 2 complete. Saved.

As we started to walk back I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I pulled out my phone to see who was texting me. It was Cory. "The police will be here in 10 minutes, please tell me you are still alive, we can get help now, you don't have to risk your life, please text me back, I'm so worried." I smiled, I know it seems cruel but it just made me happy hearing that they do care. "Already got her." I replied then quickly slipped my phone in my pocket.

Although I had already saved Ashlie, there was still one more thing I needed to say to her, and it will probably be the hardest thing to say yet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sorry this chapter was so long I wanted to make up for not uploading, and this is around the size of 2 other chapters! I know that it might seem like it's supposed to end soon but I don't think this book is going to end any time soon! I've been working on this story for about 3 months in my head (that I haven't written down) so I'm trying to recreate all of the stuff I've already worked on. Also I just wanted to say that I drew a little OC of mine that might be in this book at some point (probably not for a while though as she is a recent character in where I am in the story in my head) but this is Tommy's little sister Elena, she is one of the 2 that I have made up, she has a twin called Lucifer (I know it means the devil don't judge me I just like the name it sounds cool okay) they are 13 and let's just say they have quite a sad backstory, as well as Tommy does. Anyway that's enough of my rambling! Also sorry this is late I've been busy today!

(Name: Elena Damson
Age: 13
Description: she has quite a few mental disabilities like both of her brothers but she is far from 'stupid' when combined with its 2 brothers the necklace she bares contains more power then they first think)
