Enjoy! I mean it this time, but in an ironic way.

Chapter Nine

Doomed

Maddie. Alexia. Mikey. Lucy. Hannah. Nellie. Oh no.

That’s the thoughts I got. Who’s? Kat’s.

I opened my eyes. Just darkness. I wasn’t even touching the ground.

What was holding me up? Kat.

She was using her stretchy powers to hold us both up. One arm was holding on to me and the other was holding us up 10ish feet up on the cliff.

“Can you pull us up?” I asked.

“No,” she said.

“Hold on,” I said. I climbed up her body and then her arm. When I reached the top, I called, “You can pull yourself up now!”

A few minutes later, we were sitting by the cliff wondering where the heck our friends were.

“Did you see anything?” I asked.

“No,” said Kat. “It happened too fast.”

“Now we don’t know where they are!” I screamed.

After I calmed down, Kat said, “Don’t you have Alexia’s phone number?”

I gasped. I grabbed my phone and texted:

Alexia! Kat & I r alive!!!! Where r u? Txt me! Please! We will be there ASAP!

I soon got a text:

O! M! G! Thank goodness! I honestly don’t know where we are, but I know what the place is called: “Eli’s Cliff of Doom”. Sorry☹, that’s all I can get you.

I looked at the cliff next to us. Seems like a cliff of doom to me.

I think we’re close. Don’t worry! We’re coming!

Perfect. Just perfect.

I have to get down a steep cliff to save my friends with a girl I just met.

What could possibly go wrong?

Chapter Ten

Down a Cliff with My BFF’s sister’s BFF

Kat and I should get an award.

Something like this:

Congratulations!

Alexia Irene Morgan, Madison Olivia Morgan, Lucy Anna Karry, Michael Isaiah Austin, Nellie Alice Newman, and Hannah Evelyn Austin got kidnapped by some weirdo-crazy-evil guy!

So now Kathleen Amy Robinson and Aurora Hailey Austin have to crawl down a steep cliff to save them! So brave!

Yeah. I should make rescue mission rules.

Rule #1: Make sure you have a partner

Rule #2: Make sure you and a person who was kidnapped have a cell phone with them.

Rule #3: Stay conscious.

Rule #4: Come prepared.

I’ll probably add more later.

Anyway, Kat and I crawled down the cliff using her stretchy powers. But after an hour (yes, an hour), we decided to rest.

It feels strange. I’m not with Alexia or Lucy, my two friends on this little “Christmas Present”, aren’t with me. I’m not with my big sis Hannah or my little bro Mikey. I’m not even with Maddie or Nellie. I’ve known them for a while.

I’m with Kat, who I’ve just met. I don’t know who she really is. Sure I can read her mind and stuff, but that doesn’t tell me everything.

Sure I can know her favorite colors (yellow and green), how many siblings she has (2 sisters, 2 brothers), and a bunch of other stuff. But not who she really is as a person.

I wish I knew her better.

Chapter Eleven

Eli’s Cliff of Doom

Eli’s Cliff of Doom would be really a more doom-y place if it didn’t have smiley faces painted on the walls.

Kat and I reached the bottom after 5 hours (yes, 5) and everywhere we looked, a smile.

Floor = ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺

Walls = ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺

Who painted them? IDK.

(FYI, IDK = I don’t know. FYI = for your information.)

Rule #5: Always bring a flashlight

Thankfully, I had one. On my phone.

Hey, Alexia! We r @ the bottom! Do u know where u r?

Yes! Do u c the big winky face?

I looked. A huge smile that was winking was directly ahead.

Yeah.

OK. Go to it, then turn right in2 a dark tunnel.

I walked over to the winky face and turned left into an extremely dark tunnel.

What now?

Keep going until u c a smiling sun.

I soon saw the sun. Kat stopped behind me and said, “What’s the deal with the happy faces in a Cliff of Doom?”

“No idea,” I said.

OK. We r @ the sun. Where r u?

Wait 10 more seconds.

We did. All of a sudden, we were falling down until we hit the ground.

“Alexia! Hannah! Mikey! Lucy!” I shouted.

“Nellie! Maddie! Anyone!” shouted Kat.

“Hello, ladies,” a voice said.

A man appeared in front of us. A row of bars was between us. Like, jail bars. There was something small in the man’s hand.

It was Alexia’s phone.

We had been lured into a trap.

I apologize for the text lingo, However, this is, unironically, the cleverest thing I do in this entire Draft.
