After school I had gotten a text from Britney, look who I haaaaave there was a picture attached to the text as I opened it I realized it was Sydney, the picture had shown her unconscious in the trunk of Britney's Mercedes. She sent me another text and I hurriedly read it, it said, bring me Ian and she's yours. We'll be at the old abandoned house on wicker road. Be there by 5:00 or you can say goodbye to your precious Sydney.

###

I stood in a state of shock as I then realized that if I was going to save her I would need Ian, and help. I texted everyone to tell them that they should met me at the park and that it was urgent.

###

When I got to the park they were all there already at my beck and call. I vamped over and immediately Cylus and Damian ask, "What's wrong?" both at the exact same time. I tell them what Britney texted me and they all immediately try to come up with a plan were we can get Sydney back without giving up Ian. "We could enter the school through the catacombs?" Someone says.

"That's a great idea,"I exclaim, "we could get there before the specified time and sneak up on them and snatch her from right underneath their noses!"

"But what is they catch us?" Cylus questions.

"Your giving them too much credit," Ian pipes up, "their not that smart."

"He's got a point." Damian agrees.

"So then?" I ask, "Are we gonna save my best friend or not?"

###

When we get to the school we decide to have Ian stay outside until we need him to put him in minimal danger. As me, Cylus and Damian walk the halls of the dark school. "Why do you think Britney wants Ian?" I whisper to them in the lifeless halls. As Damian opens his mouth to answer we hear a creak in the next room. Cylus enters first Damian enters behind him, I enter the room last. I gasp quietly as I am grabbed from behind and everything goes black.

"What Liz?" Damian asks, "Liz!?"

###

I wake up in the schools gym. I have a splitting headache and can barely move. They must have injected ravaine or wolfsbane into my system. I realize that my arms and legs are tied together with rope that must also be soaked in ravaine or wolfsbane. "Elizabeth?" I hear, "Elizabeth, are you awake?" I turn to see that it's Sydney.

"Sydney!" I exclaim as I scramble a couple feet toward her.

"Shhhh" she whispers and points to the far off corner of the gym. I turn around to see that Britney and Stella are there talking. I try to use my vamp hearing to listen to the conversation, but it's no use, the ravaine/wolfsbane had weakened my system for me to even do that. I try to read their lips, Where is Steven? Is what I can make out through the conversation the rest was too fast to translate.

"Who's Steven?" I ask Sydney, She shrugs. Then a man comes through a door toward the back of the gym. He has blonde hair and is roughly six feet tall. He walks over to them and starts talking. They talk for a long while and I give up on trying to understand what their saying. I sit impatiently as I wait for the boys to get here as I know they will.

###

I hear a creak and turn around to see Damian peaking through the door towards the other end of the gym. When he realizes that I see him he beckons for me and Sydney to scoot over to him as fast as we can. Sydney started scooting faster than I was, probably because the wolfsbane has almost left her system by now. When she reaches the door and I'm still not even close to the door. I scoot closer by the second and I keep looking behind me but they still haven't seen me. I'm almost there when Steven suddenly appears in front of me. He cocks his head to the side as I sit there petrified. He shakes his finger at me and then he falls to the ground. I see Damian standing behind him reaching for my hand, I scramble to grab his hand. He picks me up and runs out the gym door. Sydney and Cylus are behind us, and I can hear the footsteps of Britney and Stella.

We reach the hall before the exit and Steven is standing there with Ian in a headlock, with a stake. We all stop and Britney and stella corner us from behind. Cylus runs and tries to break Ian free and Stella rips him out of ians general area. Sydney attacks Steven with a blow to the head, he faults and she rips Ian out of his grasp. Cylus and stella grapple by the corner, Sydney and Ian attack Steven by the door, and Damian sets me down and disappears to fight someone. I manage to untie the ropes when I feel someone choke me from behind, it's Britney. I suddenly feel the hands abruptly leave my throat. I turn to see that is Cylus, his face is concerned. He looks up as Damian comes and grabs my hands and pulls me out the door, everyone else behind us.

###

When we reach the park we untie my hands and we all go home. I go strait to bed knowing my life's in danger yet I fall strait asleep.
