  [Lily POV]

  With all the equipment set up, I can finally start to get my initial readings of the surrounding area and how the energy reacts to Kim's presence. Jill and Kim were standing close by with Jill having her arm wrapped around Kim's. Jill was all smiles and Kim's face was blushing.

  "Ok Kim I need you to stand right here."(Lily)

  Jill reluctantly let go of Kim to move to the point I indicated.

  "Right here?"(Kim)

  "Yes and now don't move."(Lily)

  After pressing a few buttons on the scanner it started to pick up a reaction coming from further away that coincided with the direction of the Shift. When I put it through another filter I could see a line of energy connecting Kim to what I assume is the Shift. I could also see an energy line connecting Jill and Kim.

  "Ok, you can move now."(Lily)

  Kim walked away from the spot and moved toward Jill who grabbed her arm. Kim was getting better at receiving Jill's attention but quickly focused on my test results.

  "So what does it say? Am I safe to head towards the Shift?"(Kim)

  "I'm not sure at the moment. All I can say is that there is a link between you and the Shift but I still need to review the readings to know more."(Lily)

  "So what you are saying is we know nothing new."(Kim)

  "Yes and no. You already said you could feel the link between you and the Shift but now we have measurable proof that it's real. When I review the readings I should have something more concrete than just feelings."(Lily)

  "And how long will that take?"(Kim)

  "I don't know but before that, I'll need to test Jill to see if she may have a connection that my instruments can detect."(Lily)

  Jill reluctantly let go of Kim again and moved to the spot I had Kim standing before. After I received the results of Jill's test someone snuck up behind Kim.

  "So, what you guys doing?"(Audrey)

  "Gah! Where did you come from!"(Kim)

  "I just came from the truck. For some reason, no one wanted to be the one to tell the Doctor that something was wrong with some of the gear"(Audrey)

  "Great."(Lily)

  I said sarcastically while watching Audrey in case she tried anything.

  Unbeknownst to me two men in military camo watched us as we moved to the trucks.

  [stooge aka Mick POV]

  My partner Chase and I watched Audrey move the target to the designated point.

  "So, do you think she will join us?"(Chase)

  "She really won't have a choice when everything goes to pn."(Mick)

  "Yeah, but I meant willingly."(Chase)

  "If she does then it will make my life harder."(Mick)

  Chase raised his eyebrow at my response.

  "What do you mean?"(Chase)

  "I put a lot of money on her resisting and I don't want to lose it."(Mick)

  We watch as Audrey gives us the signal to begin.

  "Well you'll find out soon enough if you keep your money I'm about to start."(Chase)

  Audrey distracts the other two from our mark by grabbing one of the freaks tails and Chase puts his hand out. Once he does the ground underneath the mark swallows her up before closing once again. We give one st look to Audrey who is now dealing with an angry witch and a freak of nature before we jump into a hole Chase had made that leads to where the mark will end up.

  "Do you think Audrey will be ok?"(Chase)

  "I hope not because then we won't have to be the ones to get rid of her ter."(Mick)

  [Kim POV]

  One moment I hear Jill shouting because of something Audrey did and the next I'm suddenly sliding down a hole I was sure wasn't there before it closed on me. Soon my impromptu ride stopped and I was calm enough to contact Jill.

  Jill, can you hear me? (Kim)

  Kim! Thank goodness you're ok! Don't worry I be right there as soon as I know where there is! (Jill)

  I patted the dust off my clothes and tried to look for useful ndmarks, but I didn't think anything would be helpful since I was underground.

  I'll look around to help see where I am, but I don't think the underground rocks will be helpful in find- (Kim)

  *Click*

  Suddenly my thoughts were cut off by something cold attaching to my neck and the feeling that I lost something important. It felt like a colr of some kind and I tried desperately to remove it and contact Jill.

  Jill! Can you hear me?! Jill! (Kim)

  Then out of nowhere, I hear two voices coming from behind me.

  "That went well but you are stacking the deck in your favor, Mick."(unknown voice AKA Chase)

  "If you knew how much I had on this you wouldn't bme me, plus it makes our job easier anyway."(Mick)

  I turned around and saw two men both wearing camo. One of them had a bad die job, and the tips of his otherwise blond hair were pitch bck, he also had a slight tan, I believe his partner called him Mick. Mick's partner on the other hand had dark hair and a brownish skin color. Now if I wasn't panicking because I'm unable to hear Jill I might have figured out why these people were here.

  "Who are you?"(Kim)

  The two of them chuckled at the sound of my less-than-confident voice.

  "Hehe. We are your escort for the evening and would be very happy if you would follow us willingly."(Mick)

  "And if I refuse?"(Kim)

  "You'll find that your lovely new accessory also prevents you from using any power you may have."(Mick)

  I could tell he wasn't bluffing about the colr because I couldn't hear Jill or use my ice earlier. Still, I didn't want to go along with anything these two had pnned so I tried to punch Mick but my feet were encased in rock that I would've normally broken through with my enhanced strength. After falling to the ground Mick walks up to me and stomps on my hands. Then my hands also got encased in rock while Mick's partner held one of his hands towards me.

  "Now that wasn't very nice. We even got a chariot ready for you princess."(Mick)

  He said sarcastically.

  "Stop messing around we need to hurry before the Doctor finds us."(Mick's partner AKA Chase)

  "Fine! Ruin all my fun why don't you."(Mick)

  Mick pulled out a pair of handcuffs and put them on me like he had done it many times before, while his partner opened a wall. Inside the wall was a minecart on some rails that went down the newly revealed tunnel. Mick pulled me up and before I could try to resist he pointed to the gun on his hip.

  "See this? This is for if you get any funny ideas."(Mick)

  He then started to drag me towards the minecart, while I tried to go as slow as I thought I could get away with. After being strapped in the cart Mick's partner raised his hand again and a wall reformed behind us.

  "That should cover our tracks let's go."(Mick's partner AKA Chase)

  Mick pressed a button on a remote he pulled out and the cart started to move while being fnked by both of them. I continued to look for a way out of the cuffs and soon decided to see if I could get any information from Mick since he seemed too pleased to chat.

  "Where are we going?"(Kim)

  "Sorry princess I can't tell you but don't worry we'll get there soon. Right Chase?"(Mick)

  The man now Identified as Chase nodded before going into specifics.

  "It should take up to 25 minutes since we are going in a straight line."(Chase)

  "See it won't be that long so try and find something to hold your attention till then. Maybe you can get out of those lovely bracelets I gave you."(Mick)

  I think the trip took longer than 25 minutes but I didn't have a way to tell the time so I could have been wrong. I was tense and freaking out, most of the time since I was freed I was able to talk with Jill at any time but now all I was getting was silence.

  "We're here."(Chase)

  "Good, I was getting bored."(Mick)

  Chase raised his hand and the wall in front of him colpsed into rubble revealing our destination, the Shift. My eyes widened in shock and Mick snickered, he kicked over the cart and walked over to me.

  "So here is how this is going to go. You tell us willingly where the blood witch has hidden the cocoon and you join us or we force you to tell us and we leave you here to be eaten."(Mick)

  Knowing they wouldn't believe me anyway I told them the truth, I may have omitted the fact the cocoon was gone.

  "She doesn't have the cocoon hidden anywhere."(Kim)

  "Good, it wouldn't be any fun if you didn't resist at least a little."(Mick)

  Mick grabbed my head and squeezed it, I could feel something wrong enter my mind. Whatever this presence was it didn't have the same kindness Jill had, it felt disgusting like bile, and was swimming around my mind. My head was such a mess I couldn't see Mick's sadistic grin.

  "I will ask again. Where does the witch have the cocoon hidden?!"(Mick)

  "Lil..y doe..sn't have.. it."(Kim)

  My head felt like it was about to explode from the increasing pressure.

  "Hoho. I didn't think you had this kind of fight in you. I didn't imagine I needed the power-up against someone like you but we're on a tight schedule."(Mick)

  Without seeing what he did I could only feel that disgusting presence in my mind double and I could only scream in response.

  Make it stop! (Kim)

  my vision was blurred but I could see something moving closer to us, it was somehow familiar to me. Before I could dwell on it, my mind was being crushed again.

  STOP! IT HURTS! LET ME BE FREE! (Kim)

  *Crack*

  "What's going on?!"(Mick)

  LET ME OUT! (Kim)

  Then there was quiet as one sound echoed throughout the area.

  *Snap*

  A white light then engulfed me.
