But going through something, like that, you can't just be OK,” I replied. “I promise I'm fine. I'll be over there in about 20 minutes or so,” Ka...en said. “OK see you then,” I replied. Then we both hung up. I wasn't sure how to feel honestly. She sounded fine. But I guess 'sounded' was the key word there. So I told them what was going on. “She seems fine. She wasn't crying or anything like that. She said she was fine. So I guess we'll find out in 20 minutes now. I'm not sure what to think right. The men wore shorts and the girls either shorts or sarongs. Bobbie and Julie were topless, a state in which Kate soon joined them.

I renewed myefforts to cast a spell but each time my inner song remainedcompletely silent.I pulled at my arm restraints as hard I as could pull but I couldn'tsense any weakness in the binding. My heart was pounding.I was traveling on the Mazdor highway. I remember having lunch from mysaddle bag. I must've been attacked and captured.A renewed panic set into my mind. I was going to be tortured. I wasgoing to be killed.. I should be flattered. And Iwas.Plus, the "kissing" wasn't that bad.
