Chapter 11

Freddy and Amelia came to shore shortly after their talk, Freddy hugged Amelia “you are a truly great friend.. I'm still unsure but I feel better.. I realize I just met you and yet, I feel like I could tell you anything. How do you do that?” he asked, looking baffled at her. She smiled wide “I know. I’m amazing, aren’t I!” she stated, flipping her hair back with her hand. “You are truly an outstanding beauty” he said, grabbing her hand and gently kissing it. Amelia chuckled “wow.. Do you always flirt with your friends?” she asked, pulling her hand back, Freddy smiled “what? Where I come from, it’s normal to flirt with singles, it’s just more physical with friends.. Hence what happened with Lionel” he explained. Amelia raised an eyebrow at him “no wonder you’re so confused about love..” she remarked.

Freddy looked at her with a confused face “alright, I’m going to find Lionel.. My advice, Freddy: don’t flirt with anyone unless you are sure that you love them.. I’m Anna’s best friend.. I know how she feels about you because of your flirting. No more flirting, figure your feelings out first. If you break her heart, then I’ll make sure you don’t ever talk to her again” she demanded, crossing her arms and narrowing her eyes threateningly. Freddy stared at her before realizing that she was serious “I.. I’ll try” he replied “just keep your distance and no compliments or touching” she snapped before walking away with a huff ‘she’s feisty in a whole nother way.. Good luck with that one Lionel’ Freddy thought with an amusing chuckle.

Amelia walked towards the woods where she knew the waterfall was before she was struck from behind with a bat by kidnapper 4 and knocked unconscious “where are we taking this one? The waterfall’s been compromised” kidnapper 2 asked, picking up Amelia from the ground “we’ll tie her up and send her off to the island in a canoe” kidnapper 4 ordered “Chloe! Gather up a couple of vines from the forest” kidnapper 4 ordered, turning to kidnapper 1 “yes, sir” Chloe responded “Sarah.. Would you go with her? You know how dumb she is..” Kidnapper 4 asked kidnapper 3 with a small apologetic smile “alright Zack, but you and me are gonna have some alone time after we get this brat off the island” Sarah answered, giving him an air kiss “fair enough” Zack said. Kidnapper 2 put Amelia on the ground while Cloe and Sarah gathered the vines, they sat in a comfortable silence for a couple of minutes before they came back. Sarah appeared first with nothing in her hands and swatting away some mosquitoes, Chloe followed shortly after with both hands full of vines.

Sarah quickly made her way to Zack’s side again while Chloe dropped the vines beside Amelia “Theo.. help your sister tie up the wench” Zack ordered, looking at kidnapper 2 “meanwhile.. Perhaps we can have.. A little fun” Zack said, turning to Sarah. Sarah kissed Zack “I’ve been waiting for you to say that” she replied, looping her arm around his arm. “We won’t be back, be sure to finish the job and get out before you get caught” Zack informed the siblings before spanking Sarah, making her giggle as they left the two with Amelia. “Why do we always get stuck doing all the work?” Chloe whined as she weaved the vines around Amelia’s legs “shhh.. They might hear you.. Do you wanna end up like this girl?” he whispered, nodding his head towards the unconscious Amelia while he used his hands to tie her hands together. Sarah sighed, shaking her head ‘no’.

They finished tying her up, Sarah noticed a rock next to Amelia’s legs that looked sharp and stuffed it in her pocket “hey Theo” she said, getting his attention “why don’t you get her feet and I’ll get her hands?” she asked “no” he replied. “Her arms look way lighter.. You know you can carry more than me” she said, making a pouty face “no.. don’t look at me like that.. You know I can’t say no to the pouty face” he grumbled “Yay!” she cheered as they switched. When she knelt down to pick up Amelia’s arms, she grabbed the rock out of her pocket. Holding the rock in one hand while carrying half of Amelia was difficult but worth it, they got to the canoes and noticed there was only one left.. The same one Freddy and Amelia used earlier “nice! There’s still one here” Theo said as he carefully stepped onto the canoe after Sarah.

They set Sarah down onto the canoe, Theo hopped out while Sarah sat down “come on Sarah” he said, looking around to make sure nobody was looking “I just need a minute to rest.. You go on.. I’ll catch up” she replied, taking deep breaths “alright but hurry.. And be sure to untie the boat after you get out” he replied before walking away “alright, I’ll meet you at the cabins!” Sarah shouted as he walked away giving her a thumbs up. She looked down at Amelia and opened the fist that was carrying the hidden rock, she glanced over to where Theo left to make sure he wasn’t in sight before she used the rock to saw on the vines binding Amelia’s arm.

Amelia started to wake up to see Sarah “ugh.. Where am I?” she asked as her eyes adjusted to her surroundings “shh.. You’re on a canoe.. I’m trying to free you” Sarah answered, Amelia looked at her confusedly before trying to get up. Only to realise she was tied up “what the- What happened?” she asked, looking to Sarah for answers. Sarah just gave her a small apologetic smile as she freed her hands and moved to her legs “I can’t tell you and when I set you free.. Promise me you will pretend we never met” she asked as she looked around to make sure her brother wasn’t coming back “what? Why?” Amelia asked, Sarah shook her head “stay down and when I get out to cut the rope, do not get out until you see that I’m not in sight” she ordered as she freed her legs, completely avoiding her question. Amelia sighed and nodded as Sarah stepped off the boat to cut the ropes, throwing the rock in the water.
