　　 As we were leaving the campus that afternoon, Reagan and I both were wary as we approached the different cars that were meant to take us home. Not that we sensed actual danger, but that there was something odd about the situation. I mean, I get why Ilana, Ashle, Lyssa and Alexa were there, but why were Kaede, Sophia and Isabella there?

　　 Don’t get me wrong, I love my friends so much. I consider them to be more like family after all. Their parents were my aunts and uncles. They were my cousins. There was no changing that for me. But still, there was something off about this situation. Something that I wasn’t able to process in the beginning, but that I was still sensing. And that was why it was so confusing to me. What the h.e.l.l was the matter with my senses?

　　 Part of me was telling my body to run away. To get away from these people. That I was in danger. But I just couldn’t get my mind and body to agree with each other. I knew these people. I knew that I was safe. And I knew that there was nothing to worry about. And still, my senses were screaming at me.

　　 I sat in the front pa.s.senger seat of the car, next to Lyssa who was allowed to drive today. As I was buckling my seatbelt, I happened to turn to look at Reagan in the other car. They were already starting to speed away, but I saw that CJ was tying my brother to the seat.

　　 “What the? What is happening over there? What is going on?” I turned to look at Lyssa just as she too started to speed away. And Kaede started to do the same thing that CJ was doing to Reagan. She was throwing things around me and tying me to the seat. I was able to break them, I was sure of that, but I was also at a loss for words. “What are you doing?” by the time that I got my mouth to work, there were at least half a dozen bindings around me.

　　 “We were told to kidnap you.” Alexa said from the back seat. I saw through the back window that Isabella, Sophia, and Ilana were following our fast and hectic path through the city with ease.

　　 .....

　　 “Kidnap me? Who the h.e.l.l told you to kidnap me? And why? I mean, you’re my friends and family, why would you do this to me? Why?”

　　 “Ha ha ha. Kaede laughed as she grabbed her phone. “Relax, Rika. Just watch this video.” She put her phone in front of my face and turned on a video with my sister in it. Talia was grinning when the recording started, and I just felt dread starting to fill me up.

　　 “Hey there big sis. First of all, I love you. Don’t think that this is anything negative, alright? I know that you didn’t want a birthday party, or at least you said that you didn’t. Well, I think that you did want one, or at least you didn’t realize that you wanted one. And what’s more important is that you need this. I know you and Reagan were saying that you don’t need to celebrate now that you are adults, but that is bulls.h.i.+t. I mean, come on, Mom and Dad still have parties. You need one too. And not only that, sis, but you’ve been so tired and stressed lately. I can see it when I look at you, and I don’t really like that. I want you to relax, get better, and then come home on Sunday. All that work will still be here, waiting for you. There is nothing to worry about. This entire weekend has been taken care of. And I just know that you are going to love it.” She grinned widely. “Love you sis, and I will see you this weekend, alright. Bye. And have fun.”

　　 “Hahh.” I sighed softly as the video ended and Kaede took her phone away from me. “I can’t believe her. She knew that I didn’t want a party.”
