The key

I woke up on what looked like an island in the middle of nowhere, the last thing I remembered was my brother Jack screaming or it was me that was screaming, one of us was screaming anyway I was being picked up and knocked out by a robot from our home planet Super X, the next thing I know was the ground that was shaking beneath her and a deep rumble coming from behind me. I looked behind and saw a ginormous volcano coming from the middle of the island then it just stopped and something popped out of the trees in front of her and saw it was a robot just like the one that knocked her out in the motel room she was so mad she just started to punch it, but it caught her hand before she even laid a punch on it. Then it started to talk to me saying in a nasty metallic voice “Your brother is the key to everything, he’s the key to the world, and he’s the key to the whole universe, you will bring him to if you don’t then you will die along with that wretched planet. To you understand?” I nodded “Good, just in case you don’t tell anyone…” it stabbed me for what looked like a needle that came out of its arm and I passed out. The next thing I know I woke up in what looked like a jail cell, I blinked because I thought it was a dream, but it wasn’t a dream I was really in the jail cell and I don’t know anything that happened from the last week, but then I remember that I was taken away from my boy and and a girl, but I don’t remember what they looked like. The next thing I know, a girl and boy came in with a police officer they both yelled at the same time “Allison!” I didn’t recognize either of them, but they seemed to recognize me. They came into the cell and hugged me I pushed them back and said “Who the hell are you guys?” They both looked at me confused the girl said “You don’t recognize us; it’s me Bella and your brother Jack?” I shook my head “I don’t even remember what happened in the last week.” I said. They both looked at me a little bit more “She’s been drugged.” said the girl. So, they bailed me out of jail and told me to walk with them wherever they go. I nodded in agreement. When we got outside there was a man waiting for us somehow I already know who it was I yelled “DAD!!”
