Chapter 2
                                                                                              Thrilling
        “God I can’t wait to get there!”  I said jumping in my seat between Matthew and Nick.  It was kind of awkward with Nick but Matthew made me feel better.
        “I know me too!” Matthew exclaimed.
        “Man I’m tired,” I said as I yawned, “I was up late last night watching movies.”
        “If you’re tired you should get some sleep before we get there.  It’ll be a while anyways, plus you don’t want to be tired while we’re there!” Matthew explained
       “Yeah you’re right.  Well I’m gonna take a nap,” I agreed.
       “Okay.  Goodnight,” he said while he slipped his arm around my shoulders.  “Sweet dreams,” he whispered in my ear.  I leaned into his arms with my head on his chest and fell asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.
                                                                                       ***
       Three hours later I felt some one shaking me by the shoulders and woke up with a start.  “Hailey wake up.  We’re here.”
       “Really?”  I asked rubbing the sleep from my eyes.
       “Yup. Now get your lazy butt up, so we can go!!”
       “Ugh fine, I’m coming!”
       Once we all got back together it was already almost 6:00 p.m.  “So what do you guys want to go on first?” I asked everyone.  Instantly everyone answered with a different ride.  Great, this is going to be hectic.  “Okay, so I guess we can split off into groups?”  I asked the group.
       “Yeah that can work,” Vanessa spoke up.
      “So what are the groups going to be?” Nick asked.
       “Well I’m sticking with Dylan,” Vanessa said.
       “Okay, so another group?” I asked
       “I’m with Hailey,” Matthew said.
       “Ha you’re funny.  I’m with Hailey.  She’s my best friend,” Paige retorted.
       “No she’s my best friend so I’m in a group with her!” Matthew said back.
       “Oh My God you guys. What are you, four?  You both can be in a group with me,” I said to stop their bickering.
       “Fine.  But what about Nick?” Paige whispered to me.
       “He can be in our group,” I replied.  I caught Matthew giving him a hard look.  What was that about?
       “Okay so let’s get going then!” Vanessa exclaimed.
       “SIX FLAGS HERE WE COME!!!!” I yelled.
       We all ran screaming for the gates.  After we all bought our way in we split into the two groups.  “So where to first?” I asked.
       “Oh Oh Oh, we should go on X2 first,” Paige suggested jumping around.
       “Yeah I love that ride!” I said while I started to jump with her.
       “Then let’s go!!” Matthew said.  We ran all the way to the ride where we got on as soon as we got in line.  Matthew looked over at me as we were waiting at the railing to get on, “Sit next to me?”
       “Yeah, sure,” I answered.  Next thing we know we're in our seats waiting for the ride to start.  Matthew reaches over and takes my hand.  I look at him and was about to ask him something but then the ride had started and I couldn’t.  I closed my eyes and screamed the entire time while holding Matthews hand.  What a thrill.  Just like that though the ride was over and we were heading towards the exit.  Only then did I notice that Matthew was still holding my hand.  I quickly slipped away from him and walked up to Paige.  “Hey,” I said.
       “Hey, OMG that was so fun!” She yelled.
       “I know.  It was amazing,” I yelled back.
       “Why are you guys yelling?” Nick asked us.
       “Huh I don’t know,” I said.
       “Me either,” Paige agreed.  All of a sudden Paige and I burst out laughing.  We laughed so hard I doubled over and Paige started coughing and tears were pouring out of our eyes.  We couldn’t stop.
       “Wow.  You guys are weird,” Matthew gave us a strange look.  This made us laugh even more.  We were laughing so hard we had to sit on the curb and people passing by looked at us like we were crazy.  Which right then I would have thought we were.
       “Are you guys okay?” Matthew and Nick looked at us with concern.
       “Yeah we’re fine,” I said after we sobered up.  We giggled a little more and then stopped completely.
       “I think we should go on Superman next,” Matthew suggested.
       “Hell no!  I am not going on that!” Paige yelled.
       “Yeah me either,” Nick said.
       “Well I’ll go.  I’ll probably throw up during or after, but yeah I guess I’ll go with you,” I agreed.
       “Yes!  Someone’s man enough to go.  Come on!”  Matthew grabbed my hand and pulled me along with him to the Superman line.
       As we got to the ride I looked up and my stomach got a little queasy.  “Uhh Matthew, I don’t know if I can do this.  It goes really high up and really fast,” I gave him a wary look.
       “Oh come on.  You are not chickening out on me now!” Matthew looked at me.
       “I don’t know.  I’ve never been on this before and I’m kinda scared,” I looked at my feet nervously.
       “No way.  My Hailey can kill a man with a shoelace, but she’s afraid to go on Superman,” Matthew had an amused look on his face.
       “I’ve never actually killed a man and so what if I am?”
       “Okay fine we don’t have to go on this.  What do you want to go on?” He tried to hide his smile, but completely failed.
       “Don’t look at me like that.  I don’t know, but anything except that,” I pointed up to Superman.
       “Well think of something.”
       “Okay um… let’s go on Roaring Rapids!”
       “Sure okay, but isn’t that a water ride?”
       “Ha it sure is and we’re going to be soaking!” I pushed him from behind to get him moving towards the ride.
       We sat in our seats and got strapped in just as we hit the first turn.  I screamed as the water came close to my back but didn’t splash me.  Then we hit a bump and the water went flying at Matthew.  He yelled, “It’s so cold!”  I laughed at him right up until we hit another curve and I got all wet.  Now he was the one laughing at me.  “You’re right.  It is cold!”  He nodded his head at me.  We stayed like that for the rest of the ride.
       When the ride was over we stepped off the podium soaking from head to toe.  “Aww come here.  You look cold.”  Matthew puts his arms out as if he is going to hug me but I run away laughing before he can.  “What, you don’t like hugs?”
       I turned my head to look at him while running, “Not from you.”  I laughed and kept running.
       “Wow.  Now that’s cold,” He pretended to look hurt.  I just kept laughing, but then all of a sudden I feel strong arms wrap around my waist and lift me up in the air.  I squealed as he spun me around in a circle.  “Come on let’s go get dry,” He said as he put me down and we started walking to one of those huge air dryers.
       We put the money in and closed the door waiting for the machine to start drying us.  Instantly I could feel the warm from the vents.  I wasn’t as cold anymore.  I turned towards the vent so I could warm my face and the front of my clothes.  I could feel a small touch at my back so I turned around.  I looked up at Matthew.  He put his arm around my waist and pulled me close.  “Hailey,” he whispered my name, his eyes burning in the low glare of heat.  I could feel him leaning in.  It was getting really hot in here. I put my hands on his chest.  Just as his lips touched mine the machine shut off and I quickly pulled away, opening the door and rushed out.
        “I have to go to the restroom,” I said suddenly and ran to the nearest restroom.  I ran into the first stall open and locked the door behind me, putting my back against the wall.  Why would he try to kiss me? I mean we’re good friends and all, but does he like me for more than a friend?  That’s what that look and the whole “goodnight” thing was about.  How could I have been so stupid and not noticed it?!  How long has this been going on for? “I guess I should get out there then,” I said to myself.  I unlocked the stall door and walked outside.
        I saw Matthew sitting on a flower planter waiting for me.  As he heard me approach he stood up and turned towards me.  There was concern in his eyes, but then they went wide as he screamed my name, “Hailey!”  I saw him running towards me, and then I felt this sharp prick on my neck and crumpled to the ground, unconscious.
                                                                                                  ***
        When I woke up I had this horrible sharp pain in my neck and my head.  I was so disoriented I forgot where I was and why, but then it all came rushing back.  The jet ride, the amusement park, the almost kiss, and then the sharp prick in my neck.  I was tied to a chair with my hand bound behind my back and my legs tied to each other.  So that’s why my neck hurts.  But where am I?  And how long have I been unconscious?
        I took a look around my and couldn’t place anything and then my training kicked in.  I noticed everything in the room, how big it was, what was in it, the temperature, the feeling in the air, everything.  The building was small and empty and dark enough to barely see.
        Just then a woman walked in.  She was tall with curly blond hair, her face covered with makeup and her clothes of the top styles.  She seemed like a woman that meant business.  “Look who’s awake,” the lady said sarcastically.
        “And who might you be?” I asked, raising my eyebrow.
        “Now I should be asking you the same question except I already know who you are, Hailey.”
        “Then what do you want from me?” I asked actually scared of the answer.  No, I will not show weakness to this woman.
        “Well you see you have something that I want.  It has some valuable information that I need and well… I’ve heard that you have it.”
        “And why would I have it?”
        “That my dear Hailey is a very good question.  I believe your mother and father gave it to you and its said to be in the form of a bracelet,” She flicked her wrist at me to give me an example.  “Oh how very rude of me, I haven’t even introduced myself.  Well young lady I am Miss. Rebecca Prow,” She put her hand out as if to shake my hand, but pulled back with a smile on her face.  
        “Oh that’s right you’re hands are tied.”
        I glared at her and watched the amusement in her eyes.  “Well young lady I need you to give me this bracelet.”
        “I don’t have it.”
        “Wrong answer!”  She screamed.  She loses her temper pretty quickly.  She smoothed her hair down and gives me a winning smile, “Anyways you won’t be leaving here until you give it to me.  Let’s get you into a more comfortable room.  Shall we?”  She slowly reaches into her pocket and pulls out a syringe.
        She walks up to me at a predatory pace and reaches for my arm.  Before she could I used my legs to kick her in the gut and as she flies backwards I use my ring which pops into a knife and quickly cut the zip ties around my wrists and then at my ankles.  Rule one: Never leave anywhere without some sort of protection.  In this case it was a ring/knife.
        “Why you little brat!” She yells as she gets up.  I immediately start for the door.  
       I ran until I got outside and still didn’t stop there.  I ran and ran until I finally stopped to catch my breath and look at my surroundings.  Only then did I realize that we were actually pretty close to the amusement park.  I soon spotted a gas station a block down and jogged there.
Inside the gas station is was bare except for a middle aged man at the counter.  I went up to the cashier and asked if I could borrow a phone.  He handed me the one on the counter and I dialed Mathew’s number thinking he was the only one that knew I was really gone.
       It rang twice and he finally picked up.  “Hello?” His voice sounded distant.  “Mathew. It’s me, Hailey.”
       As soon as I said it he recognized me and freaked out.  “Hailey?! Is that really you?”
       “Yeah it’s me.  Will you come pick me up?” I said as I looked out the stations window.
       “I’m already in my car.  Where are you?”  In the background I could hear the car revving.
       “I’m at a gas station, on the intersection, on Herbert Street.”
       “On my way.”  I heard the other line go dead so I hung up too.
                                                                                                     ***
       Less than five minutes later I see a dark red Chevy Camaro – just his style- pull up and see a very distressed Mathew get out of the driver’s seat.  I walk out of the stations door; Mathew sees me and runs towards me.  He wraps his arms around me in a tight embrace and didn’t let go for a long time.
       “Are you okay?  Are you hurt?  Do you know who took you?  I tried to get you but they were too quick.  I tried.  I really did.” He looked at me with such concern that I almost burst into tears.  “God I was so scared!” He pulled me back into his arms.
       “What time is it?” I asked him.  “It’s three o'clock in the morning.” He said as he pulled me along to the car.  We climbed into the heater warmed car and as I was putting on my seat belt Mathew looked at me and raked a hand through his hair,” So do u know who took you?”  Only then did I realize that his eyes were bloodshot red like he had been crying.
       I looked back at him and said, “Her name was Rebecca Prow.  She said I had information that she wanted.  She said it was in the form of a bracelet but I can’t even think of it.  Why would my parents give me something like that and not even tell me about it.  It doesn’t make any sense!”  I shove my face into my hands.
       “Where is everyone else?  Are they okay?”  I asked him while slowly lifting my head and looking out my window.
       “Yeah, they’re all fine.  We were all looking for you.  When you called and said that you got away I immediately called them and told them to meet me back at the amusement parking lot.  They should be there now.” He glanced at me and then put his eyes back on the road.
       “Okay.” I simply replied.
       Within a few minutes we were in the parking lot as well.  As soon as I got out Vanessa and Paige just about knocked me over to see if I’m alright.  “It’s okay guys I’m not hurt.”
       “Oh God we were so scared” Paige said as she crushed me in a hug.  “We were worried sick!” Jennifer punched me in my arm to show her emotions.
       “So what happened?” Behind me I see Nick walking up.
       “Can we talk about this when we get back to campus?  I really want to get away from here.”  I asked looking over my shoulder to see if anyone was around.
       “Of course.  You guys head back in the jet.  I’ll meet you there.  I’m gonna drive back in my car.”  Mathew starts heading to his car as the rest of us wait for the jet to arrive.
So this is chapter 2 of my first story.  This is where most of the things start to get interesting and kinda come together.  So i hope you like it and make sure yor favortie if you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And dont forget to watch me too!!
