| Nick’s Happy Mood |

XXX Axel

They dragged me from the exit hallway back into the lobby. I still couldn't move all I could do was be limp, that was probably no normal taser sense I still couldn't move. My head hung low and I couldn't lift it up. Dread filled me when they stopped dragging me.

"Well, this day just keeps getting better and better!" A cold voice says. God. What did I do to deserve this? Like this dude holds a lot of grudges.

"We got Jackey boy and now you." I couldn't see him, I could only see his feet. "Too bad I can't kill you, the maker said I couldn't kill you, but that doesn't mean I can't make your life very uncomfortable." Nick says as he starts laughing. What? The maker? What the heck?

"Now, all we have to do now is find Chase. Do you know where Chase is?" I could only grunt in reply.

"Oh well, I'll just have to question Jack until the taser symptoms wear off your body." He says this with disappointment. "I'll be back." He says slyly and walks away.

"Oh wait I forgot." He walks back towards me. I groaned, can this guy literally just go away. He lifted my head up by my chin. Now I can actually see him. His eyes were full of hatred. He lifted his fist back and punched me in the face. My head snapped back and then it snapped back down. My head swam and white spots covered my vision. Dang, Nick had a good punch.

"That's for humiliating me the first day." He said, and he walked away. Ow. My face throbbed now, thanks Nick. Blood trickled from my nose and into my mouth. They dragged me again and stopped where they had my group tied up. They tied my hands behind my back and left me on the cheap carpeted floor. I looked at my group, everyone looked really scared and weren't in the mood to talk. I sigh and watch as they pulled Jack up from the group. I examined his condition, he had bruises already on his face was full of bruises and he seemed in pain, maybe from the monster, or maybe it was just from the smirking boys who seemed to be very pleased he was uncomfortable. I could feel painfull tingles in my arms and legs, the taser was beginning to rub off. Great, that means Nick's coming back soon.

XXX Jack

"So I don't really have the patience right now to question you fully, so let's make this quick and easy." I glared at Nick. What the heck is wrong with his dude? Doesn't he know we are supposed to stick together not kill each other?

"Yeah, sure what do you wanna know?" I say trying to act bored. My hands were tied in front of me and I was held down on my knees by Josh and Carter. We were in the middle of the lobby and Nick was pacing back and forth.

"Just a simple question." I nod I wasn't really going to tell him anything. "Where's Chase?" He stopped and stooped to my eye level. The smile he gave me was cold and unwelcoming. I forgot all about Chase.

"Uh.. Honestly I really don't know. I'm so very sorry to disappoint you." I smirk at him. I could tell he was starting to get frustrated.

"Well, as much as I would like to beat it out of you, I'm starting to get hungry for lunch. So you're going to tell me, or I'll just take one of you pretty fingers." My blood ran cold, as he took out a knife. I immediately started struggling against Carter and Josh, who were enjoying this very much. I bucked and kicked, but that only helped them get me on my stomach. Josh cut the duck tape holding my hands as I was pinned down by three other teenagers. As soon as my hands were free I squirmed and fought but they ended up just pinning me down to the ground again, but this time with my hand out and fingers splayed on the floor, exposing my fingers.

"Don't do it! I really don't know!" I yelled out. Of course I knew where he was, but I wasn't going to tell. Nick just ignored me with a smirk. He got on one knee weighing his knife in his hands.

"What finger will you miss the most Jack?" Nick sneered. Nick lifted up his knife and slowly lowered it to my index finger. Panic surged through me. The knife inched it way slowly towards my flesh.

"STOP." I scream, Nick halts for a second. I sigh in relief.

"Well?" Nick asks in an amused tone.

"The presidential Suite." I panted resting my head on the floor. I'll have too hope that throwing off Nick will give them enough time for Chase and Adaline's escape.

"How do I know that you're not lying?" Nick says as he puts the tip of the knife on my finger. My breath hitches when he put more pressure on it drawing blood.

"You don't. But there's no way I'll be able to totally convince you." I huff, Nick seems satisfied with my answer and stood up.

"If they're not in the presidential suit, beat him. But don't kill him, we can't have the maker mad." Carter and Josh grinned at each other. Gosh you better make it out Chase. Who was the maker? They let go of me and I instantly got to my feet and charged Nick. I threw him to the ground and started throwing punches at his face, releasing my anger.

Josh pulled me off him and pointed his gun too my head.

"Get on your knees and hands behind your head!" Josh yells at me. I comply, smiling at Nick who now has a split lip and bloody nose. My arms were wrenched behind me by Carter while Josh still had me at gunpoint. The whole lobby went quite as they watched the scene play like entertainment. I saw Axel in the group shaking his head.

"You hit me." Nick says in disbelief, as he stood up grabbing his bloody nose. I spat at his feet.

"You can't go killing people like this!" I scream at him. There were already three deaths from Nick's thugs, and it disgusted me.

"Know what? I changed my mind. Josh, Carter, it doesn't matter if they're in the presidential suite, he's all yours." With that Nick walks away with a grin as I call him a list of profanities. Carter, Jack, and the redhead dragged me towards the hotel rooms as I struggled through the lobby. I can see Axel trying to get up but a girl with a rifle points her gun at him and Axle stands down. Carter and Jack throw me to the ground in a hotel room. They smiled evilly at me. I scrambled back as much as I could with my arms spellbound behind me.

"What's the matter Jack? Scared?" Josh taunted. Oh boy, this wasn't going to be fun.

XXX Chase

I woke up back in my room in my bed. I stared up at the ceiling. The memories of the night's events came flooding back.

"Adaline?" I yell. I hear a gasp in the closet and Adaline comes tumbling out of it. She flew to the bed and put her hand over my mouth.

"Only whisper, or Nick might find us." I intake a shaky breath. Nick? He found us? Fear ran through my body. I take her hand off my mouth.

"We gotta leave." I say. She shook her head.

"We can't, he's searching the entire building for you. He found everyone except us."

"How do you know?" I ask. She smiled sheeply.

"I snuck into the security room where the footage is. But I had to go because Nick's buddies were coming to the security room to find everyone easier. That's why we can't go, they'll see us in the hallways from the security camera" I smile at her,

"So are we going to have to live in closets now?" I say jokingly. She slaps my chest.

"This isn't funny Chase, he might kill you." She says sternly. I grin at her, and her lips quirked up. "Don't look at me like that." She says hotly.

"You're so cute when you're irritated." She blushes and rolls her eyes.

"Yeah I bet I look so good right now. Does my hair look like it's a rat nest yet?" I laugh and I motion her to me. She leaned next and pecked my cheek.

"Are you ready to find a good hiding spot?" She questions with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, but you're going to have to clean my arm." I say looking at my stitched up arm.

"Okay, let's go then." I get off the bed stiffly trying not to hurt my back and shuffle over to the door.

I could hear the penthouse door ease open. Adaline gasped behind me and tugged me towards the closet. We stumbled in the closet and closed the closet door as quietly as we could. I slid down the wall and Adaline curled against me putting her head in the crook of my neck. If we weren't in danger I would have loved this moment.
