Chapter 14: Kidnapped

Gaege's (Juicy's) POVI jolt awake, screaming in terror as I tried to figure out where I was. I sat up quickly, suddenly smacking my head against the bed above me. I was in a bunkbed, but where... I had no idea.

"Woah! Calm down!" A voice then rang next to me, making me snap my head in her direction. A girl with dark eyes and hair stared at me in worry besides me, and I flinched when she reached her hand out towards me.

"Who are you?!" I panicked, franticly sliding back on the bed until my back hit the wall, "What the hell do you want from me?" The girl held her hands out as if trying to soothe a lost puppy.

"It's okay! I'm in the same boat as you are," She frowned, "I was taken here a few days ago, too." She stuck out her small hand, smiling reassuringly, "I'm Olivia. But you can call me Liv." I hesitated before grabbing her hand, feeling a bit better now that I knew someone.

"Gaege Gibson," I responded, "You can call me Gaege." I noticed other jail cells besides ours, and it suddenly looked familiar to me.

"This is the county jail..." I realized, standing and walking over to the bars, "How did they manage to take this place?" Liv shrugged, wrapping her hands around the bars, "I wish I knew. The only thing I know about these guys are they ain't happy with mind readers like us."

I instantly looked at her, raising my eyebrows as I asked, "You're a mind reader too?" Liv nodded, "Of course. We all are." My eyes trailed over at the people stuck in cells, and I couldn't believe it.

"I thought I was the only one..." I looked away sadly, "My friend, or who I thought was my friend, ended up turning me in."

Liv gasped, "Really? That's so messed up!" I nodded but was silent for a few seconds. The thought of Eddie stabbing me behind my back made my eyes tear up.

"Oh, I'm so sorry..." Liv put a hand on my shoulder, "He must've been very special to you." I nodded again, sniffing as I remembered our last few moments together. I wished I would've never looked at his phone. I wished I had never left my apartment the day he was moving in. I wished I never offered to move the boxes inside his house to begin with.

"He was my best friend," I sighed, running a hand through my hair, "I thought he was different than everyone else. I thought... I don't know. He loved me."

"Hey, don't think about that right now, mate," Liv hugged me, "Everything will be okay." I was thankful for her comfort, and I savored the moment for a few seconds. "Thank you. I... I really needed that," I say after she pulls away, "Right now, we need to figure out how to get out of this shit place."

As if on cue, approaching footsteps were heading straight towards us. Liv turned pale and quickly grabbed my wrist. "Hide!" She whispered to me, pushing me back into the bunk bed.

"What? Ow!" I rubbed the back of my head as she pushed me onto the bed, "What the hell-"

"Gaege Gibson!" The sharp, rough voice made me freeze, making my heart skip a beat for a second. The way he said my name didn't comfort me one bit.

"He- He's asleep!" I heard Liv say, hearing her voice shake, "He hasn't woken up yet!"

"Bullshit," The voice said, followed by a jingle of keys. "Don't think of making one move, girlie," Another person said. The sound of a gun clicking made me swallow a lump in my throat.

I hear the jail cell open with a loud creak, and I instantly squeeze my eyes shut. Without a warning, a strong hand grabbed my arm, making me shout. Before I could react, a gun was instantly pressed to my head, and I jumped. "You're coming with us," The man said to me, forcing me forward.

"Get away from me!" I scream, feeling anger and fear bubbling in my chest. Liv is also held down by another person with a gun, looking at me with a desperate look in her eyes. The other prisoners had their attention on us now, alerted and peering through the bars to see what all the commotion was about. The man slapped a leather-gloved hand over my mouth, making me struggle against him. "Don't think I'm afraid to pull this trigger!" He shouts at me, making me stop.

I close my eyes, knowing that Liv and I were going to die if we didn't do something quickly. My heart pounded in my chest, knowing that I would be stupid for trying to use my powers. One slight movement of a finger pulling the trigger and a bullet would go through my head.

Although as my eyes flickered to Liv again, seeing the tears forming in her terrified, dark eyes, I knew that it was now or never. I gathered all the courage I had left and pushed the man away from me. Liv screamed as I held my hands out to the man in front of me, feeling a slight tingling run through my body as I trained my mind on his gun.

The sound of a gun firing filled my ears, but in a matter of seconds, the gun was flying across the room. It collided into the wall, falling to the concrete floor and out of reach from the man. The man grabbing Liv instantly pointed his gun to me now, pushing Liv to the floor.

My eyes met his before I focused on him. With a tilt of my head, the man crashed into the bunk bed, smacking his head into the metal bar and knocked out cold. The other man rushed to me, trying to tackle me. Out of the corner of my eye, I managed to spot him before he could swing his fists at me. With a cry, he crashed into the jail bars, falling to his knees.

I let out a groan, collapsing as I wasted all my energy. I leaned on the wall as Liv rushed to me, slinging my arm over her shoulder. "That was amazing!" Liv carefully helped me up, "I can't move things with my mind! Especially people!" I nodded, trying to catch my breath.

The men then stood, rushing to lock us back in the cell before we could leave. "Shit!" I say under my breath as they lock the doors again, "We were so close."

"He's powerful," We suddenly heard one of them say to his partner, "Never seen anything like it."

"We'll come back for them later," The other said, shooting us a dirty glance as he rubbed the side of his head. And just like that, they left without another word to us.

I winced in pain, completely drained from using my powers. Liv sat me back down on the bed, handing me a water bottle on the floor as I thanked her. "What are we going to do?" She bites at her fingernails nervously, "They're going to come back!" I shook my head, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Look at me," I say calmly, meeting her eyes, "My friends are coming for us, I know it. We just have to stick together, okay?"

Liv nodded, staring up at me in worry. "Well, they better hurry," She says worriedly, "Cause I don't know how much time we have left."
