Chapter 3

                                    

                                          
While driving we were loudly singing along to Thunder by Imagine Dragons, which was one of Corey's favorite songs at the moment. He would listen to it on a continuous loop until he hated it but for some reason that feeling of hate and annoyance with the song hadn't kicked in yet. Corey then proceeded to try and dance as far as his seatbelt allowed him to do so and I just laughed because of his hilarious moves. Let's just say he looked like a worm trying to wiggle his way out of a birds beak. By the time the song was half played through the station suddenly shut down and all we could hear was this loud static sound. We looked at each other in confusion, when Corey startet to try other channels not having a lot of luck.
"Okay that's weird", he said furrowing his eyebrows and trying to find a channel that worked.
"It's probably just the weather that's interfering with the signal" I continued driving with this weird and unsure feeling in the pit of my stomach. "Just let it be we're almost there anyways"
                          
We continued driving down the broad and empty road and the feeling in my stomach just got worse but I tried blocking it out. I'm probably just hungry I mean I haven't ate since I left the house earl- My thoughts were interrupted by my car starting to make weird sounds and after a few more meters completely shutting down.
"I told you to get gas when we went by the gas station earlier" Corey said annoyances clearly lacing his voice.
I looked down at my display only to see that my tank was full.
"C my tank is full. There is probably something wrong under the hood, could you get the flashlight from the trunk?" I then got out of my car and heaved up the hood as Corey went to open the trunk. I looked down to see if there was something wrong but to be honest with you I didn't know anything about cars so I just stood there and waited for Corey to finally bring me the flashlight. Maybe in the light we would have better luck finding the problem and then get the hell out of here. This place was starting to give me the creeps. He really is taking his precious time back there. I then decided to walk around the car to the back to see what was taking him so long.
                          
"God Corey how hard can it be to get a flash-" I stopped mit sentence when I looked up and saw these 3 scary, metal suit wearing guys standing there holding a unconscious Corey. Oh funnel cake! RUN! But I couldn't it was like my brain no longer had control over my body. I just stood there frozen like a ice sculpture that Elsa had made. The only thing moving was my heart, it was beating so fast that I was afraid it would jump out of my chest. One of the 3 guys turned to me and startet walking towards me. As he was walking the lines around his body seemed to fade out, making him look like one of the figures on tv that would horizontal fade and scribble up when the TV connection was bad, and that's when my legs finally did what my brain had been telling them for the last minute I startet to run like hell. Fudge I really should've continued track and cut back on those Oreos! But Oreos are just so delicious... Really Tia this is what you're thinking about as you run for your life. Food?! I cleared my mind as I continued running, when I felt a heavy, cold, metal hand on my shoulder and the next thing I know I'm send flying to the ground. I groaned out in pain and held onto my left arm on which I had landed. I tried to keep back the tears from falling, as I squeezed my eyes shut and bit my bottom lip to balance out the pain but it didn't work. This is probably the worst pain I've been in considering I just flew like 7' into the air and landed on my arm. Jep that definitely broken or at least sprained! I rolled onto my back and slowly opened my eyes just to see that guy standing over me and croaking his head to the side to look at me. His yellow glass monocle moved in front of his metal mask and was now in front of the red glass that kept me from seeing his real eyes. He then started dragging me behind him and started going in the direction of the other two that were still holding my unconscious best friend. I tried to scream for help but for some reason I couldn't get a sound out it was like I was mute and that feeling scared the hell out of me. Oh my god I'm so going to die right now. Like why does this have to happen now? I haven't even lived yet! Please don't let this be the end I still have so much to do before I die.. They then said something to each other, which I couldn't understand but it sounded like "Condition terminal" whatever the fudge that meant and that is the last thing I noticed before the darkness took over.
