MARCH!?! Okay then...

"No can do, I see your limp! I've had a limp like that! Long story short, I'm not good at snowboarding," I said. "But, Switzerland was worth it," I continued, pulling out two flashlights. "Here, I'll watch your back if you watch mine," I held one up to him.

I let out an angered growl. It would be so much harder to find our way around if it would be lighter. I took the flashlight anyway. "The limp is my own fault. I'd already torn a ligament in my knee, but I decided to run on it." I told her. Despite how late it was it was still hot outside. My throat was dry. I really just wanted to crash. I just wanted to lay down where I was and pass out. But even more than that, I wanted to get back. I wanted to be safe, not worrying about someone coming to kidnap me again. We walked for a long time in silence. I felt utterly lost. It got dark faster than I had expected. I couldn't see very well. "Do you know how close we are yet?"

"Not sure, but we're in a suburban area, and... hey, there's the park!" I said, pointing. "Oh! I think I see the tree I crashed into as well! And the area where I flew off my bike because I hit a rock."

As soon as she mentioned it things seemed to snap into place. I knew where we were. 'It's just a couple blocks away." I told her. I sped up even though she probably wouldn't like it. I wanted to get back ASAP. I cut through the park. It took about five minutes because of my bad leg but we were back. I didn't bother to knock as I walked inside. Everyone was gathered in the room. Lenn's head snapped up.
"Were have you been?" He asked in alarm. He looked relieved to see me. I almost started crying. I was so relieved to be back. I didn't say anything, I just hugged him. It probably looked weird to everyone else, but I didn't care. He's like my brother. I'd hug who I want. "What happened to you? You look terrible." He noticed to bruise from where I was hit earlier. "What happened?" He asked again. I sighed. I really didn't want to talk about it right then.

((I got my learners permit!))

((Nice. I am eating chips with chopsticks. Don't judge me, these are my life choices))

((That's awesome!))

((*clicks chopsticks together* this is fun. I ate mac and cheese at Ash's house with chopstick. It was awesome))

((Congratulations!))

"It's a long, long story," I said, walking over to a couch. "Where's Baymax when you need him?" I asked, leaning back.

Lenn looked at me.
"Tell us what happened." He demanded. I sighed again.
"I was kidnapped with Lenora. Hatsu and Christine somehow found us." I said. I didn't want to go into details.
"Do you know why they kidnapped you?"
"They said they wanted me to work for them, that I could be useful to them. They bribed to to work for them by saying that they would help with my rage." I stopped there. I dreaded how Lenn would reply.
"Did you tell them yes?" He asked. I flinched and looked down.
"I'd felt that it would be better for everyone else that way.' I admitted. I wasn't sure if I could tell everyone else about Christine and Lenora being spy's. I'd wait for them to tell everyone themselves.

I wasn't really relaxing anymore. I was stiff. I was near praying on my knees that he wouldn't tell Lenn that we were spies! He does understand the termwz "secret" and "confidential information to not be released to civilians" I hope. Wait, when did I start thinking about them as "civilians?"

Lenn opened his mouth to ask some more questions when I interrupted. "I think I made my knee worse." I informed him. It felt like it was swelling. He sighed and got up. When he came back he has a bag of frozen peas in his hand. He tossed them to me. I caught them easily.
"Why don't you go downstairs? You look exhausted." I nodded and walked downstairs, after I'd grabbed my crutches. I lay down on the couch down there, put the frozen peas on my knee, and flung my arm over my eyes. I didn't want to admit it, but I was truly terrified. For all I knew, they could know that I was staying here with Lenn. They could be watching us all. The could strike again. After a little while I fell into a horrified sleep. I dreamed about getting kidnapped right from the house. Never getting free. It was awful. I snapped awake, tears in my eyes. I was almost positive that I had been screaming in my sleep.

I woke up abruptly when I heard yelling. Wait, when did I fall asleep? Gosh, what a bad position. My neck and back hurt! Would people be mad if I wanted to explore the house? Oh well. I adjusted myself to a more comfortable position and fell asleep.

I woke with a start. Where was Ace? "Ace?" I asked aloud. I looked around but didn't see him. In fact, I didn't see anyone!. "Hello?" I called. Suddenly, I heard screaming. It sounded like Ace. "Ace?!" I called, scared. Why was he screaming?!

Luke didn't answer me, but I didn't mind. His face told me he was busy. I didn't go inside with everyone, I stayed with Luke. I kept my self intertained with my thoughts.

My breath was coming in short gasps. I covered my face with my hands. I faintly heard my name. I didn't get up or respond. I was too mortified. I couldn't tell who it was. I wasn't going to respond to someone without knowing who they were. My heart was beating out of my chest. The dream had seemed so real! More like a vision than a dream.

Now someone else was yelling. I shot up. "Is the house on fire again?!" I asked frantically. I didn't smell smoke... No wait, that double agent stuff wasn't a nightmare. Wait, then that really did happen!

I got up and instantly regretted it. I was swallowed up by nausea and dizziness.

I felt something brush up against my neck. I let out a strangled cry, grabbed my crutches, and raced up the stairs. I tripped over a chair in the kitchen in my hurry. I curled into a ball on the floor. If that had been the kidnappers than they were gonna get my again. My heart pounded. I was in a cold sweat. I was mortified.

((brb))

I sat down again and the dizziness subsided, along with the nausea. I heard a cry, then someone racing up stairs. I heard a crash in the kitchen and waited in stunned silence. My heart pounded. "Wh-who's there?" I called after awhile. "A-Ace? Is that you?" I questioned the silence.

I pretended to fall asleep. Someone was moving, and I didn't know who! I had to listen to something!

(((NOOOOO... I missed the book I had on hold... THE MANGA I HAD ON HOLD....)))

I moved my hands from over my face. "Rachel?" I asked. Lenn came out of his room and saw me lying on the floor.
"What are you doing on the floor?" He asked. He must have seen the horrified expression on my face. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"No..." I whispered quietly.
"What's wrong?" He asked, helping me to my feet.
"I dreamed about being kidnapped again. It was awful. It felt so REAL." I cried. He hugged me.
"It's not real. You're fine. I'm not gonna let that happen to you again." He reassured me.

(((Ash-chan is pianoing. She'll post... eventually.)))
