DCW...IRL?

[IdentityUnknown 216]

Chelsea, it's not your fault...

I just realized Cure-kun, Lia, her friends, and me are the only ones who don't know Mark is the kidnapper....

------

identityUnknown crept past another corrior. Chelsea was most likely to have been locked up somewhere in the basement or attic, which was why IdentityUnknown was headed down. She quietly placed her hand, cupped in a circle, next to each door and listened. Large noises likely meant that there were guards in there, little or none meant Chelsea might be in there.

She arrived at an empty room and searched it for any weapons. Unsurprisingly, there were no guns or anything of the sort, but a small Swiss Army pocket knife and a few quarters had been dropped. IdentityUnknown quietly picked these up and continued to the next room.

No noise came out of the next room, however, it was locked. IdentityUnknown took a bobby pin from her hair and started picking the lock. She wasn't the best at it, but she eventually got the job done.

Suddely, she heard footsteps. She quickly hid, but accidentally dropped the bobby pin.

[tengaku squared 291]

"Hurry up!" IdentityUnknown hissed at Cure-kun, Lia, and her two friends. In a combined effort they had knocked two of the guards out, suffering quite a few bruises.

The base was well hidden, but easy to find the way out of. It had been specifically designed to be easy to escape, probably as a precaution. This served well for them as none of the five felt the need to enter it again.

Carefully, IdentityUnknown took a bobby pin she had gotten from Lia and unlocked a door. Inside, they put on jackets, checking for any bugs. They were in no hurry to be discovered so they had to be careful.

Quietly, they all snuck out of the buildings. Suddely Lia uttered a sharp cry.

"What is it?" Cure-kun asked urgently.

"It's Chelsea," Lia said shakily. "I think she might be in there."

IdentityUnknown gritted her teeth.This was about to get complicated but she wasn't leaving anyone behind. "Where's the nearest town?" she asked.

"I think it's several miles north, which would be to our right."

"Ok. You guys head there. I'll go find Chelsea. Lia, give me two more bobby pins and a phone. Each of you bring one for yourself...just in case. Alright?"

Without waiting for a reply, IdentityUnknown ran off.

She didn't get far within the building before being stopped by a large hand, as large as a catcher's glove. This hand belonged to a rather plump teen, and the teen was smirking.

"What do we got here? A rat, running about? That can't do. Not at all." And his hand grabbed IdentityUnknown's throat, and slammed her to the floor.

"You know, Mark would be pleased to kill you once he finds out you've escaped. But," he reaches out, breaks a container, and grabs a rather large ax, "I think I'll deal with you." He grazes IdentityUnknown's cheek with the ax, causing a thin stream of blood to leak out.

[hopes 237]

...This is getting really scary.

Please don't die, Pyre. I would be very unhappy.

[tengaku squared 291]

I wouldn't mind if a few people died.

[hopes 237]

Of course YOU wouldn't Moho... But I don't want to die...

[tengaku squared 291]

Of course YOU wouldn't Moho... But I don't want to die...

Going to sleep now! See ya!

[Aeyra 260]

Ax? Why the heck are you using AXES????? Um... Pyre! Somehow magically escape please! (Moho... Why are you so desperate to kill EVERYONE?)

It's dark in here, thought Aeyra, strangely calm even though she was locked in a trunk. It's so quiet too. Maybe they aren't talking?

Fumbling with her hands, she grabbed her phone with difficulty, and with practiced hands turned her phone to vibrate. That way if they call, they won't hear...

And just like that, the phone rang. Answering, she laid it down and rolled over so she could speak directly into it and hear the call. "Aeyra?" The voice was tentative, as if they were afraid Mark would answer again. When he didn't, it continued, "Where are you?"

"T-trunk of a car," panted Aeyra, suddenly realizing how out of breath she was. "I don't know where I'm heading though. Keep the call on and make sure you track it."

"The trunk of a car?" repeated Misaki-chan, surprised. "Won't you run out of oxygen?" Then she let out an 'oh' of realization. "You're going to be unconscious by the time you get there."

"I'm already feeling dizzy," admitted Aeyra. "But I thought it was just my head though. And the air does feel kinda thin."

"We're definitely coming to get you!" declared Legend, snatching the phone away. "You and Chelsea, so hang in there, okay?"

All of sudden, the car stopped, and the trunk door was yanked open. Aeyra quickly shielded the phone with her body, placing it back in her spacious jacket pocket. "Get up," commanded a rough voice, and obeying him, Aeyra got to her feet unsteadily, leaning against the car. "What are you waiting for? Get OUT too!"

She jumped, barely managing to keep from falling. When someone started to lead her down a hallway, she was glad to have someone holding the chains. After a few minutes of walking, she was thrust into a cell, a small dim light in the corner. There was a girl in the corner, and Aeyra exclaimed, "Chelsea?!"

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

Misaki groaned, "Don't tell me they have the police on their side.... Damn. Anyway, we should get to a safe place and get some weapons."

Legend added, "You're right. There's no way we can win without anything. But the question is, where?"

"For now, let's go to my uncle's house. He should have the stuff we need."

"Which is...?"

"Guns, knives, Mace, flammable liquids and lighters"

Before she could respond, she stuck her and out and yelled, "TAXI!"

She scolded, "Misaki-chan! Are you mad?! They'll find us!"

She retorted, "They're on their way to their HQ. There's no way they would find us at this moment."

A taxi came before the argument could continue. The two girls slid in and Misaki instructed, "#### XXXX Street please."

The driver said, "You got it."

The drive was fairly short; her uncle's house was close by by car, so they got there in ten minutes. She quickly paid the driver before they hopped out and made sure the driver left before entering the house. The house was quiet and still; no one was there. "Must be at work," she muttered to herself as they tipped toed to the first things they would need. Misaki open the doors to the cabinet and reached inside to grab two semi-automatics. She threw one to Legend before closing the doors and opening a drawer underneath and grabbing plenty of clips and a few knives too. Next, they went to the kitchen drawers and grabbed four lighters. They then made their way to where her uncle kept the alcohol and grabbed two bottles of a drink that was very flammable. Finally, they went to the room where Misaki was residing and grabbed two bottles of Mace. "Um, Misaki," Legend asked, "Why do you have Mace in your suitcase?"

"My mom worries a lot."

-----------

Someone wish to add on?

Erm well,,, I suppose I should continue from here?

Does your uncle know about what happened?

--------------------

"Um, Misaki," Legend asked, "Why do you have Mace in your suitcase?"

"My mom worries a lot."

"I... see..." KKLT was a little surprised at how much "weapons" they are able to find in Misaki's house.

"Oh... and erm could you get some first aid bandages too?" KKLT signalled to the "a little messed up" wrap on her head. "Oh, and my phone please?"

"Here!" Misaki threw the phone to KKLT.

"Thanks!" as KKLT grabs it with both her hands.

Outside, sirens ran throughout the city.

"I guess that hospital bombing has generated a large response from the government." said KKLT looking outside of the window.

"Of course. The people will need answers. A bombing of this scale is considered a terrorist attack." replied Misaki. "I do hope that kind doctor is ok."

"Yea... I've just contacted Pudding. She's got us a rented car. It's in the carpark a street away." KKLT told the girls. "Well, do we need it?"

"What you rented a car?" Misaki asked. "What if... that Mark found it out?"

"There's no way he'd find out." KKLT replied. "He doesn't know Pudding. And my iPhone has anti tracking installed. He can't find out about the contents of my conversation." smiled KKLT.

"Ok. After we have gathered all of the stuff, we'll have to decide where we need to go." Misaki sighed. "I hope everyone is alright. I hope Chelsea and Aeyra is alright."

"I'm sure she is." KKLT assured. "Ok. So after we gathered our stuff, where to next...?"

Suddenly, Misaki's phone rang.

"It.. it's Aeyra!" she exclaimed.

"Quick pick it up!"

"Aeyra?" Misaki was afraid it was Mark... But he didn't respond. So it must be Aeyra. "Where are you?" she whispered into the receiver.

"T-trunk of a car," panted Aeyra, suddenly realizing how out of breath she was. "I don't know where I'm heading though. Keep the call on and make sure you track it."

"The trunk of a car?" repeated Misaki-chan, surprised. "Won't you run out of oxygen?" Then she let out an 'oh' of realization. "You're going to be unconscious by the time you get there."

"I'm already feeling dizzy," admitted Aeyra. "But I thought it was just my head though. And the air does feel kinda thin."

"We're definitely coming to get you!" declared KKLT, snatching the phone away. "You and Chelsea, so hang in there, okay?"

Suddenly, there were some background noises and interference. KKLT and Misaki figured someone was there, so they decided to keep quiet.

"Ok. We have our next plan." KKLT declared.

EDITS: Ok Adjusted

[hopes 237]

Chelsea sat there, alone. She waited. Nothing.

Suddenly, there were noises from the hallway outside of her cell. She put her head in between her knees and hoped nothing bad was going to happen. The cell door opened.

"Get in there!" She heard a gruff voice yell. After a moment, the cell door clanged shut and there was silence. Then:

"Chelsea?"

Chelsea looked up in disbelief.

"AYA-CHAN?"

"Oh my god! It is you!" Aeyra cried in relief.

"Thank god you're okay! I thought... I thought..." Chelsea began to cry. "T-They said... You were dead."

Aeyra managed a dark chuckle. "Well, I've escaped death twice..."

"What about KKLT? I-Is she...?"

"No, she's alive!"

"Oh my god. Thank goodness."

"Yeah... The hospital we were taken to was... Well, blown up."

"WHAT?"

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

Ok I edited my post abit... I hope it links

[hopes 237]

I think it does.

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

Anyways, I thought I introduced myself as Legend How did I become KKLT?

[IdentityUnknown 216]

Going to sleep now! See ya!

Does that mean I can mess with your...er, friend...as much as I want?

------

IdentityUnknown winced as the ax grazed her cheek but the teen seemed slightly disappointed. IdentityUnknown had to play for time. Making this guy angry would be suicide but sitting still was pretty much a death sentence as well. If only she'd listened to S when S had tried to convince her to continue with taekwondo! She thought back to what she knew: her punch was hard and could cause a nasty bruise but she knew it wasn't good enough to knock someone out...especially someone like this.

"Who...who's Mark?" she asked through gasps.

The teen looked at her as if she was the stupidest person on Earth. "Don't you know? Mark's our leader and a pretty damn good one at that. 'Cept you hostages weren't very complacent. This is the second time you've escaped, isn't it?" he clucked his tongue, half in amusement half in pity. "If you had cooperated more, we might not have had to go to such lengths. Mark isn't pleased, isn't pleased at all..."

He made another move with the ax and IdentityUnknown flinched visibly. The teen smirked.

"Why?" IdentityUnknown choked. "Why did you, I mean, Mark, do this? And why mix others in?"

She could barely breathe and white dots had begun clouding her vision. She couldn't faint...not at a time like this. She pinched herself to keep herself awake. It didn't work. Her vision was fading, fast.

The last thing she remembered before it went black was the ringing of a cellphone.

[Aeyra 260]

I dunno. It's just how we refer to you here I guess.

"What happened to you?" asked Chelsea curiously, looking at Aeyra's bandages. "Did you get hit with a brick as well?"

"I wish," replied Aeyra, trying to make herself comfortable on the ground. Not that you could be comfortable with handcuffs on. "I think Mark actually shot me in the head."

"WTF?" exclaimed Chelsea. "W- why would he shoot you?"

"He's an evil, blood-thirsty maniac who has us locked in a cell, blew up a hospital, and tried to kill all of us. I think a gun isn't that far of a stretch." Aeyra tossed her cell phone at the not-handcuffed Chelsea. "It's kind of funny. I've been deprived of oxygen, can't even stand up right, and I'm in handcuffs and you're not. Legend and Misaki-chan are on the other end right now. At least, they might be. If not, call them."

[hopes 237]

Geez. Well, I gotta go now. Bye.

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

I dunno. It's just how we refer to you here I guess.

"What happened to you?" asked Chelsea curiously, looking at Aeyra's bandages. "Did you get hit with a brick as well?"

"I wish," replied Aeyra, trying to make herself comfortable on the ground. Not that you could be comfortable with handcuffs on. "I think Mark actually shot me in the head."

"WTF?" exclaimed Chelsea. "W- why would he shoot you?"

"He's an evil, blood-thirsty maniac who has us locked in a cell, blew up a hospital, and tried to kill all of us. I think a gun isn't that far of a stretch." Aeyra tossed her cell phone at the not-handcuffed Chelsea. "It's kind of funny. I've been deprived of oxygen, can't even stand up right, and I'm in handcuffs and you're not. Legend and Misaki-chan are on the other end right now. At least, they might be. If not, call them."

"Hello...?" Chelsea whispered into the phone. Silence. She decided to try again... "...Hello... anybody there???"

"...Chelsea...?" came a muffled unfamiliar female voice from the other end of the line.

"...Who... are you? You're not Misaki chan or Legend are you?" Chelsea trembled.

"So you really are Chelsea? I'm Legend." replied KKLT. "I've transferred Misaki chan's line to my iPhone. I added a voice changer to disguise our voices just in case. If you're there, Im guessing you met Aeyra already?"

"Yea. Legend." Chelsea whispered. "Sorry, if you can't hear me you'll have to tell me. I can't speak to loudly."

"Yea I know. Let me speak with Aeyra?"

"Okay." Chelsea put the phone on Aeyra's ears.

"How are you doing? Has Mark done anything to you?"

"No. Not yet. I'm just being thrown into a cell. I have no idea what is going on as well. My sense of direction is not exactly in the best condition so I can't really tell from which direction I've come in from. Just that, on the way in, I've heard some construction or piling going on." Aeyra told KKLT. "Anyway, right now, I'm bounded but Chelsea's hands are free."

"At least there's a clue. Wait for us. We'll try to find you guys. In the meantime, keep the line on. I've got my cell charged up and I've brought a car and portable recharger, haha... Ok its not the time for this. Anyways, hang on... We're on it. Wait for us. We'll definitely be there." KKLT assured them.

"Okay." Aeyra replied and gestured for Chelsea to take the call.

"Hello...?"

"Chelsea, I'll need you to hold on to the phone since Aeyra is bound."

"Okay. I hope they don't discover this..."

"Okay, I'll be on earpiece, so if anything, just speak into the phone."

"Okay."

"Now hide the phone. If we have anything to inform you, we'll send a message with Misaki's phone." KKLT says. "Last I asked, Aeyra says her phone is on vibration mode. Put it somewhere where you can feel it."

"Okay."

"Okay. Now keep the phone. We'll talk later."

Chelsea kept the phone as instructed.

"We'll have to wait for them now." Chelsea told Aeyra. "I'm sure they will be here soon."

Aeyra nodded. "Hope they will be fine."

[hopes 237]

Whoa. That's a lot of 'Okay's.

---------

"So... Now we wait."

"Yeah. I wish I could do something though..." Aeyra muttered.

"I've been sitting here not being able to do anything for who knows how long."

"What have you been doing?"

"Just... Well, I guess thinking... And praying for nothing worse to happen."

"Well, with the situation as it is... And Mark... Who knows?"

The girls sat together in silence.

----------

How long has it been?

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

Whoa. That's a lot of 'Okay's.

---------

"So... Now we wait."

"Yeah. I wish I could do something though..." Aeyra muttered.

"I've been sitting here not being able to do anything for who knows how long."

"What have you been doing?"

"Just... Well, I guess thinking... And praying for nothing worse to happen."

"Well, with the situation as it is... And Mark... Who knows?"

The girls sat together in silence.

----------

How long has it been?

Lol the Okays was an attempt to make it seem serious... but casual at the same time

Anyways... now what?

[hopes 237]

...I dunno. Someone writes?

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

Shall I wait?

[hopes 237]

I dunno. I guess I'm gonna wait...

[Misaki-chan 164]

Eh... Did I miss the part about going to your uncles'? O.o

Why yes, yes you did. And no, my uncle is clueless about what has happened. And I also wonder why my uncle has so many weapons.

[hopes 237]

I do too...

[Aeyra 260]

*Why is the task of writing always left to me? *

"This is more boring than the time where I was trying to study for Social Studies," complained Aeyra, leaning against the wall, wishing her wrists weren't aching. "But at least I didn't have to worry about dying," she admitted, almost feeling tears come to her eyes. If no one came in time or even if they did, they were probably going to be murdered.

"I know what you mean. We all came to New Jersey to have a good time and look at us now. We're locked in a cell who-knows-where and there's a psychopath who's planning our execution this very minute. I just hope it's nice and quick."

"Don't say that," whispered Aeyra, though it was obvious she thought the same as Chelsea. "Legend and Misaki-chan'll definitely come to save us, we can be sure of that."

The door was suddenly opened again, and Aeyra smiled, hoping to see the faces of rescuers, but instead another girl, an older teenager, was shoved in, a long cut on her forearm. She was unconscious, but alive. The cell was locked again, and Chelsea and Aeyra stared curiously, and fearfully at the girl.

"Ugh," she whispered. "Where am I? Who are you?"

"I'm Chelsea, and this is Amy or Aeyra. She responds to either one."

"You guys?" she gasped, getting up.

"Hey, aren't you girl who followed us a couple of days ago?" Aeyra's eyebrows furrowed, and she asked darkly, "Were you on Mark's side?"

"No," answered Pyre, hiding her expression. "I was about to rescue Chelsea when some guy attacked me with an ax. But luckily I rolled and he missed and I was thrown in here instead."

"Who are you?"

"That's for me to know and for you to find out."

[hopes 237]

YAY!! AYA-CHAN WROTE!!

------------

"Wait... Are you Pyre?" Chelsea asked.

The girl kept her Poker Face. "I don't know who you're talking about it."

"Chelsea..." Aeyra whispered.

"Well, I don't know WHO else you'd be... Unless you're a spy."

"CHELSEA!:" Aeyra scolded. "For God's sake, she was cut by a FREAKING AX!"

The girl said nothing.

"You're right... I'm sorry."

"No... It's okay. Let's just worry about what will happen when Mark comes back..."

Silence.

"You know who he is?"

Pyre realized her mistake. "I heard one of his lackeys say his name." She quickly covered up.

"Oh."

"So... What did he do to you?" Aeyra asked.

"This is the third time I've been captured."

"THIRD?!" The girls exclaimed together.

"Yeah..." Pyre sighed. "What about you two?"

"I was just kidnapped..."

"He shot me in the head after knocking me unconscious."

"He did what?!"

"Yeah."

"...Thank God you survived."

"Yeah..."

"And out other friend was hit by a brick."

"Is she alright?!"

"Yeah. Thankfully."

"That's good..."

"The hospital they had been staying at was blown up." Chelsea said.

"..."

"Yeah..."

Silence.
