Sorry I haven't gotten around to posting. That short bit wasn't a chapter, by the way.
"I don't want you to burn my house down!" exclaimed Danielle. She looked at the man suspiciously. "That's what you were going to do, wasn't it?" A sly smile crossed his devious face. "You catch on quick. I see you have done the research that fool Lemony chose so thoughtlessly to publish," "He's not a fool!" Danielle retorted almost automatically. Sorry for the short post, but I gotta go! Morelater! Ya know u luv me! Duchess of Doom

"He's not a fool!" Danielle retorrted almost automatically. The man smirked. "As if you would know!" He sighed. "I see if I made an attempt to burn this house down you would notify the authorities, and that wouldn't be good," He shook his head. "No, that wouldn't be good at all," The man turned so his back was to Danielle. She could see he was rummaging through his coat, as if trying to find something desperatly important. The man turned back to face her after a pause. There was a revolver in his hand that glinted dangerously in the dim rays of light coming from the sky. "Get in the car, girl, or I will shoot this," He growled at her. Danielle opened her mouth to scream but she couldn't make a sound; she couldn't move. She was cemented to the ground in terror as the gun barrel prepared to release a deadly bullet. The thought of the bullet peircing her heart and her mother crying was enough to make Danielle get over her shock and, trembling, get into the back of the car. The man smiled. "Excellent!" He didn't see the boy watching the scene through a window of a neighboring house.

The boy in question was a fifth grader named Colin who also went to Veterans Park Elementary School. He was the average height for a boy of about 10 or 11, with dark hair and eyes. A few freckles haphazardly covered his pale face. Colin wacthed Danielle, the girl that had kept on turning up in his thoughts, being threatened at gunpoint. "Oh my god!" He exclaimed once he saw the long black car jerk into motion and exit Danielle's driveway. Something odd was going on, and he felt he had to know what it was. "Mom, I'm going for a bike ride!" Colin called. "Be back before dark," came the carefree reply. Colin sprinted onto his bicycle in pursuit of the strange car that had taken the girl he loved away.

Colin panted heavily as he peadeled furiously on his bike. He couldn't let that car get away. "Why are I doing this?" The instant the thought popped into his head, Colin resented it. "Duh. I'm doing this because I love her," He muttered. "Ooh, true love in fifth grade!" His thoughts mocked.
