Candles on the Water

***OOoohhooo..Drama ***

Emily

Her eyes widened when they took her into the bedroom to go see Chase. He was laying on the bed, face pale and limbs limp. They had set up monitors all over the place and Ellie was hovering over him. Emily couldn't stand it. She ran out of the room, out of the house, and out. Away from everything horrible that was going on. Her world was crashing down.

She ran and ran, never stopping. Tears streaked her darkened face, and made her stormy eyes even stormier. She finally stopped in a back alley, where she had nowhere to go. She got down on her knees and sobbed.

Suddenly, a voice spoke out. "Hello beautiful." Emily whirled. A rather fat man stood in front of her, along with two others, who seemed to be his accomplises. Her heart started racing. They were blocking the way out.

The men snickered as they closed in.

Chase

Dang it, I wish I could do something!

Chase could see everything going on around him. He could see Ellie, who was watching over his physical body. He saw Alex and John laying in the corner, unconscious. They had accidentally been knocked out when the explosion happened. Aunt Lara had been dragged away from the room. Melpomene was talking with the everyone who was there.

And Emily was about to get ambushed by a bunch of drunk guys.

They moving closer and closer towards her, and she sat there, doing nothing.

Come on Emily! Don't just sit there!

Emily's head jerked up, right after Chase thought those words.

Chase?

Emily

Gasping, Emily looked around. Could the empathy links still be working?

Emily, run!

She didn't need to be told twice, but where? She didn't know that the men had crept up on her while she was talking to Chase. One of the tall ones grabbed her hair and yanked her to her feet. The squat man whispered in her ear with his putrid breath: "The Master will see you now."

Emily's eyes widened. This was all linked. The time travel, the killers, the master, and Melpomene. But how? Shuddering, she felt one of them draw a knife. They pushed her farther into the alley, where, when the shadows cleared, she saw that a van was waiting.

No! Chase screamed in her head, but she couldn't do a thing with a knife pressed to her back. They pushed her into the back of the van and closed the doors. Gas hissed from somewhere, and the last thing Emily heard was the sound of tires over pavement. Then, everything was gone.

Emily woke with her wrists tied, legs tied, and gag stuffed in her mouth with tape over it. Where was she? She couldn't see a thing. It was either because of the tape over her eyes, or that it was pitch black. She couldn't tell which. She suddenly heard a voice.

"So, you have found me the girl. Good. We will lure the children here without their knowledge of it. And Melpomene won't be able to stop them." The voice snickered. Emily struggled to break free. She wanted to get away. Suddenly, there were brisk steps toward her and she felt a slap along with searing pain on her cheek.

"Stupid girl. You can't get away. Not until your friends come along, and then, maybe we will grant you the blessed pleasure of death." Emily was confused at this. Why would she want to die?

Suddenly, she felt herself being lifted and set onto some flat surface, and then, her entire body was engulfed in pain.

John

John opened his eyes slightly being careful not to draw attention, but when he saw that Emily was gone and Chase was in a coma . He jumped up, Ballow, Zire and Jake who was sitting in a corner on a chair pulled gun's on him "sit down" Melepones voice said, she was use to a bunch of professionals with years of experience not a group of kids. "Melepone I'm not gonna sit down when I've done nothing wrong, me and my son are hear to protect you, not hurt you" John said obvisouly "oh yeah why did you shoot Jonathan then" Kate said "a robot I swear, look my son may look 12 but that's cause I turned him back. He's got 18 years of fighting training he could take any of you down if I hadn't told him not to, I mean no offence but your just kids"
"yeah kid's that kicked your arse" Jake said triumphantly
"were you listening to what I just said was not trying" John said the last part slowly "where's Emily" John said the group looked outside Emily was nowhere to be seen "shit what the hell have you done, you do know that The Master after you"
"well yeah duh" Kate said
"when the master wants something he gets it, wait when was the last time you turned on the TV to watch the news".
"whys that important" Melepone said, John grabbed the remote control and turned on the TV he flicked to the news station where their were pictures of the group "these are enemies of your master they must be reported immediately if you see them under penalty of death long live the great power" John turned off the TV.

Emily

Sweat beaded her forehead, and she yearned to yell out. It felt like a million needles were piercing her skin.

Make it stop! she thought desperately. She dimly heard laughter in the background. It seemed like they actually get pleasure from torturing kids.

Emily!! Can you hear me?

Chase! Where are you?

Well.. I am in aunt Lara's house..I think

Help! Please! They are hurting me

I wish I could! I can't move! There was a pause, then Chase spoke again. Whatever happens, don't leave us

Chase

What do you mean, don't leave us?

I mean, nothing they do will work unless you give up. So don't give up, please! I'll be right here.

Chase wanted so badly to get up, to run and rescue Emily. But he couldn't.

The others could though.

Emily

Suddenly, the pain stopped. Everything stopped. The laughter faded, and the heavy breathing went away. All Emily could hear was the Thumpthumpthump of her heart, and the steady drip of water somewhere.

She opened her eyes, surprised that she could now see. Her hands and feet were still bound. She was in a high tech lab of some sort, with gadgets and blinking lights everywhere. She was laying on a hospital bed with her hands locked onto the side rails with handcuffs.

She whirled her head and saw that just above her head was a grimy window. Looking through it, she could see snowy hills, and far off into the distance was a ginormous mountain. Emily had been here before. That was Mt. Everest. She had been climbing near it with her mom and dad two years ago.

Suddenly, a shadow covered the window, and somebody peered through.

Abigayle

Abi watched as Ellie hovered over Chase. She checked his blood pressure constantly, making sure he stayed alive.
Abi, a voice said in her head.
"What the heck?!"Abi exclaimed, everyone in the room turned to look at her."Never mind, it's nothing." She insisted.
Abi, you have to help Emily. She's in danger.
Its Chase it has to be, Abi thought, but he's in a freaking coma, I can't be hearing his voice.
Yes Abi, it's me you have to help her, Chase's voice said.

Chase

But how...

Don't ask me, just tell the others. For some reason, I can only talk to you and Emily. You have to tell the others!

Okay....

Chase could see Abi stand up and walk over to Melpomene.

Emily

Staring up, she saw a bear pass by the window. Emily breathed a sigh of relief. She could have sworn that it was the master.

Emily, do you have any idea where you are? She would have jumped if she wasn't tied down to a hospital bed. It had been hours since she had heard Chase's voice.

I am near Mt. Everest. I think I am in Tibet.

Damn it. We are in London right now. It will take a few days for us to reach you, considering that I am in a coma Emily giggled, but then stopped abruptly. Suddenly, the door swung open and the Master strode in with a smug grin on his face.

"Well, it seems that your friends aren't going to be able to make it here. That's too bad. Well, at least I can use you for my experiments." Emily looked around wildly. He covered all of the windows. "This only works if there is barely any light," he said. The master started sticking probes to her head, arms, legs, and neck. Then, he attached the other end of the probes to a small box with a lightening bolt on the side. He then walked to the wall where a huge switch was located. Emily only had time to say one thing.

I love you Chase.

Then, the Master flicked the switch, sending 10,000 bolts of electricity into Emily's system.

Chase

Emily!

She was gone; disconnected from Chase's mind.

No Emily! Don't give up! Don't let go!

Abi was talking with everyone else, trying to find a way to get to Tibet.

Then the most obvious answer hit Chase.

Time travel. Duh!!!

Emily

Screaming bloody murder, Emily received shock after shock. Through flickering eyes, she could see the room was being lit by the amount of electricity. 15 minutes later, the Master took off the probes and grabbed a needle. He filled it with some sort of blue liquid and put a tiny chip in it. He stuck it in Emily and released it.

Suddenly, Emily heard a voice. It was somewhat distant, but she could hear it, nonetheless.

Time travel. But before she could even think about it, the Master untied her. "Your free to go." He had a gleam in his eyes that she didn't like, but it didn't matter.

She time traveled back to London, to 3 seconds ahead. She arrived on the bed next to Chase's, who was still in a coma. Shaking and still feeling electricity in her bones, she lost consciousness.

Abigayle

"Oh my God, Emily!" Abi screamed as Emily dropped to the ground. When she hit the floor her body went completely limp. Ellie and Melpomene hovered over her, trying to find out what had just happened.



*** I'm just wondering but what happened to the person who was Ellie?***

Chase

Wake up! Come on, wake up!

Chase was getting more frustrated by the second. He just wanted to wake up, to talk with the others. Not through thoughts either.

Chase?

He could hear Emily's thoughts, even though she was unconscious too.

Woah.

Emily

Chase, there is something screwy going on.

She was lying on the bed next to him, trembling. She hasn't stopped shaking since Tibet and it wasn't from being cold.

Chase's hand twitched. How so?

She was still unconscious, but she could hear and feel everything that was going on around her. Ellie was hovering over her, checking Emily's pulse and bandaging all of her cuts from when the Master tortured her.

He just let me go. I don't understand why he didn't kill me, or at least leave me to- she stopped abruptly when she heard a loud beeping sound. Where was it coming from? Ellie suddenly stopped and turned to Melpomene.

"She has a homing device," Ellie said. Emily suddenly where the beeping was coming from. It was coming from her.

"Well! Take it out! Before they get the address to where we are!!!" Melpomene screeched. Ellie shook her head.

"You don't understand. It is in her blood. There are thousands of tiny tracking machines injected into her blood stream, and it will take weeks to get rid of them," Ellie looked pale, and the beeping was getting louder and louder. Panicked Emily opened her eyes and blinked.
