Ash's POV

I opened my eyes and blinked a few times. At first everything was hazy, but then it got better. There was immense pain on the back of my head so I tried to pull up my hand to touch it. To my surprise, I couldn't move it. When I looked down I saw I was tied up and my mouth was gagged. I looked up and in front of me was Anam, gagged and tied up as well with tears streaming down her face. She nodded her head frantically towards the left, I looked there and almost fainted. OH MY GOD! IT'S ONE DIRECTION! But they were tied up like us too, only Louis didn't have a gag on his mouth.

"Hey, you okay?" he asked me. My eyes widened and I nodded. Louis was talking to ME! He was asking ME if I was okay!

I tried to speak but I couldn't so I nodded my head.

Suddenly I heard footsteps approaching and we all looked over at the door. The kidnappers paused outside the door. We all froze. Even Harry who had been jumping about like a kangaroo.

"So what are we going to do with them now?" I heard a man say.

"I don't know. Their manager refused to pay the ransom." Thug 2 said.

Thug 1 sighed, "then I guess we have to get rid of them."

It felt like someone had just punched me in the guts.

"The girls, too?" Thug 2 inquired.

"Yes. We'll just drown them in the nearby river and no one will be the wiser." They both laughed menacingly.

Oh my gosh! I'm too young to die! Even though I have just got my life's wish to meet One Direction, I can't die like this.

I heard Anam making sounds and I looked at her. The moment our eyes met, we knew what to do. We had to get out of here. Our lives (and One Direction's) depended on it.

She nodded at me and I nodded back, a plan already forming in my head.

I looked at my left and saw all the boys staring at us.

I tried to tell them not to worry and that we've got a plan, but the gag just made it sound like a mumble.

Liam asked something and Louis said, "She says that not to worry and that she and her friend have got a plan."

My eyes widened. He understood what I'd just said! "How'd you understand what I said?"

He shrugged, "The reason I'm not wearing a gag is just because I can understand what the others are saying. So I act like some sort of 'translator'. Also, I'm too cool for a gag and they know it."

I wanted to chuckle but then the door opened.

Two thick, burly men stepped in wearing black stocking masks.

I started shaking like crazy and I probably looked like I had ants in my pants, literally. I made shrieking sounds and one of the men stepped over to me.

"Hey, what's your problem?" He asked rudely and pulled down my gag.

Anam and I have this speciality, we can almost know what the other was thinking. At the moment, we were acting on an improvised plan and had no idea what we were doing.

So I blurted out the first thing that came to my mind. "Um, I think there's something crawlng up my sleeve. It feels like a snake."

Suddenly the room was filled with a hissing sound. That SO did not sound like a snake, I wanted to roll my eyes.

But, the men were just too stupid.

Thug 1 quickly bent down and opened my ropes and started hitting at my sleeve like a wildman in an attempt to hit the non-existant snake and make it fall out.

Dude, Anam and I didn't take karate classes for nothing.

I quickly brought my knee up and hit the guy in the crown jewels. He collapsed and rolled on the floor, making noises. Thug 2 came after me and I quickly ran.

Harry, who was standing, brought his leg up and hit Thug 2.

Taking advantage of the distraction, I quickly untied Anam and soon she was standing up beside me.

"You just messed with the wrong girls, buddy," she smirked. Okay, that was scary. Looking at Anam, I never realised why half the boys in our school were afraid of her. She could be sweet or scary whenever she wanted to. And being as short tempered as she was, the thugs were in for trouble.
