   THE REAL CHAPTER 7!!!
Hi Sarah. Chihiro’s here again! You want me to start the story? You have been put in too much suspense? Ok Ok I’ll start!
“ Who are you and what are you doing here?” the redhead said.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I work here,” I said.
“Then how do you explain this?” he said pointing to the real Jim who was holding onto Tessa and Rachel.
“Uh......” I said. I was so freaked out I guess shifted back to my true form -_-‘.
“ So I see we have 3 school girls. A shape-shifting one too. What are you girls doing here? School is still in session,” Redhead said.
I turned to run, but redhead was ahead of me and grabbed me.
“You’re not going anywhere,” he said.
“ What have you done to Conan?!” I screamed, “You smugglers have done something to him! I know it!”
“Quite girly,” he said.
“Tell where he is!” I cried.
“He’s right here,” a voice said. I turned my head only to see Conan.
“Well this is a surprise. Rachel, Tessa and Casey. I thought I told you not to get involved,” Conan said.
“Co...Conan?” I questioned.
“At your service,” he said.
“I’m sorry I was so worried when you didn’t come back so I followed you and now I wish I hadn’t....” I said my eyes filling with tears.
“You know this girl Conan?” Redhead said.
“Yeah she goes to my school,” he said.
“ Let’s get rid of them. That Casey girl knows to much. When she was pretending to be Jim I say her looking through one of the boxes,” one of the guys said.
“What are you talking about? I’m just a stupid High school girl! Who would believe me if I said, ‘There are smugglers in Billy’s abandoned boat rental!’ No one would believe me.”
“Just get rid of them!” Redhead cried.
“ No wait. I have a better idea. These girls go to a private school and their parents are loaded. I think we should put them up for ransom and then once we get the money we’ll kill ’em,” Conan said. I tried to read his eyes to see if he was telling the truth. (I have a talent of reading people by looking in their eyes) I couldn’t read them...
“I don’t know...” redhead said.
“Come on Red you know we could use some more money and we wont get the payment from our stuff for a few weeks,” Conan said.
“Ok. Lock them in the closet tied up,” Red (redhead) said.
Red handed me over to Conan. Conan and Jim took Tessa, Rachel and I to a closet. After tying our hand and our feet together the put us in the closet and locked the door. They didn’t bother to gag us. No one would hear us.
It was dark, damp and cramped inside that closet. The good news was there was some light. The bad news is that it showed the frighten, pleading eyes of Rachel next to me. I knew if Rachel wasn’t gagged and tied she would have run away screaming. I turn my head to Tessa on my other side. Tessa’s eyes were filled with anger. If she also wasn’t tied up she would strangle Red.
I looked then a the rope binding my hands together. Thinking of a way to get out. Then I thought. It’s all my fault Tessa and Rachel are in this position. (Hey I’m back to where I started) I was trying hard to think of a way out I really was, but it was hard to think when you’re crying. You would be too if you found out your boyfriend was part of a smuggling trade, lied to you and tied you up. My life really sucked right now. I felt as if my heart had torn in two.
After what seemed like hours my wrist and ankles were hurting. I then remembered the nail file Tessa kept in her shoe for emergency nail breaking. I scooted over to Tessa and pulled out the nail file from her shoe. She gave me a questioning look until she saw me sawing through the rope around my hands with her nail file. It took about ten minutes to saw through the rope. When I was done I united my feet and untied Tessa and Rachel.
What? I couldn’t just leave her. Sarah! That’s against the law. I can’t leave her tied up and then throw her into a volcano. Plus that’s Tessa’s job to throw people into volcanos. Just kidding.
I was more comfortable after I was lose. I returned Tessa’s nail file and sat there thinking. My thoughts were shortly interrupted when the door opened. It was Conan the traitor.
“Hey Case....” he said.
I punched him in the jaw.
“Casey.....”
“Go away. You back stabber, you liar, you....you...” I cried falling to my knees in tears, “ I trusted you...and you betrayed me....” Blood trickled out of his mouth. He wiped it away.
“Casey. I didn’t mean to hurt you. That’s why I didn’t want you involved.” he whispered falling onto his knees holding me, “I’m not really a smuggler. I’m only pretending to get closer to them. I have a plan to get you out. Here is what we are going to do. I’ll leave the door unlocked and in an hour you can escape and call the police. Please do this Case.” I looked into his eyes. I could read them. They were filled with concern. I knew why I couldn’t read them before. He wanted to hide is emotions.
“Ok. I’m sorry for punching you,” I said.
“It’s ok. I have to go now. I brought you some food. Be careful. I love you,” he said leaving a bag with apples inside of it on the ground. He let go of me and left.
Chihiro and I have to go now Sarah. Chihiro has an appointment with the vet. See ya tomorrow.
