This possibly will be the ending chapter. If it is, do not fear because I will make this a whole series. Thanks for the reviews but I need a little more.

Ian quickly turned the watch to voice mode.

Brooke stood up and looked at the person standing in front of the cell.

It was Bart.

"Wow time over that quickly?" Brooke asked.

He nodded.

"Time for what?" Ian asked.

She ignored him, "Bart? Can I take only five more minutes?"

Bart took his walkie-talkie out and started talking in rapid English. She heard grumbling from the other side.

"You have five more minutes," he boomed. Brooke nodded.

She turned to Ian; her face was grave and said, "They want me to help them."

He started openmouthed.

"Stop it before you catch flies," she said.

Ian shook his head and said, "Well they should already know that you will decline."

Brooke paled, "Uh…"

H looked urgently at her, "What? You're not actually considering this are you?"

She hung her head, "Ian, they keep bringing negative thoughts into my head that the Cahills are just playing me, and I am scared because I think I am starting to believe them. Also, what if I could somehow get them to get you on their side to and we can just fake it until we can get out. Or, if that doesn't work, I can make sure you won't get hurt," she hesitated. "Well, at least not too badly. Plus, I could at least get you out. You can be free from here and go see Amy."

Ian shook his head, "No, as much as I love Amy, I would never leave you here to die for me. We're in this together, no matter what."

"Then what should I do?" she was getting frustrated and tears formed in her eyes.

I wrapped his arms around her and consoled her, "Do…"

Bart was back.

"Saying 'good bye?'' he asked hopefully. There was no response.

Brooke just walked out of the door and followed.

…………………………..

Ian Kabra was frantic.

"Oh, man, oh, man. If they can get to Brooke like think of what they can get me to do. Oh, this is not good."

There was a beep. Ian pulled out the watch and turned the screen on.

There was everybody again looking up with frantic faces.

"What's going on?" Dan demanded. "We heard the words, but what do they mean exactly?"

Ian swallowed, "The Madrigals managed to convince Brooke enough that the Cahills were just using her so that they could at least put her into a stage of thinking about Joining-In-With-The-Help-A-Madrigals-Society!" he hissed.

"Mrs. Engles looked as if she was about to faint. Alistair was the same. Dan and Amy were just struck so much they were catching flies, literally.

Dan swatted one away and said, "Well, didn't you talk to her? At least try to convince her it was a bad idea."

He nodded, "After that she told me some good reasons that I could at least escape with her help, or she keep me safe or…."

"Or what?" Nellie asked.

Ian swallowed, "That she could sacrifice herself for me."

…………………………………..

Brooke was back in the interrogation room tied up and watching security tapes.

Now these security tapes were different. I mean they were actual tapes of the Cahills, but what they said was mixed up to convince the watching to get mad at them. Brooke couldn't believe what she saw…

"Amy, we can just use her!"

"That's a great idea! Then, when we don't need her we can get rid of her."

"Nice!"

"Dan, though, to get more information, pretend to like her!"

"Okay!"

So many emotions were boiling up inside: hate, regret, broken heartedness, and many more indescribable feelings.

"So," the leader said after the tape. "What is your answer?"

Brooke was soldier straight looking at the dark wall. In her eyes there was fury and stone. She was never going to be played again; never because she was going to switch from playee to player.

She repeated readily, "I'm in."

Look out for book two. I hoped you enjoyed this one. Remember, the series is Rise of the originals:……
