                                                             DARYL'S POV
        We arrived at the city's park and I packed my car . I rushed out of the car so as Kate and Sofie . I looked around but didn't find Zoey anywhere. 

    It's already late .

       I checked the time and it was already 12:15am. Where could she be ?

       "Sofie , where did she say she is again ?" . I asked

      " This is the exact place she said she is ". She replied .

     " But ... she's not here ". I said looking around .
  
     " I'll try calling her " . Sofie said bringing out her phone . I looked around still in search of Zoey .

    Please nothing should happen to Zoey . I ain't gonna forgive myself if anything happens .

     " She's not answering ". Sofie said .

     " Try again " . I said walking around .

   My eyes caught a light coming from the abandoned house.  I moved closer and heard Zoey's ringing phone .

     " Guys ... I think Zoey's in here ". I said holding the door knob . I tried opening it but it was locked .

    " Daryl don't go in there .
      That house has been abandoned fo some years and I heard its hunted.
      Please don't go ..."  I cut Kate off.

      " Do you think I care if it's hunted or not ?
       Zoey's in there and I'm going in there to save her . " I said trying to open the door .

   I pushed it with full force and it opened .

         " Give me my phone " . I said to Sofie . She gave it to me immediately.

        "  Daryl please it's not safe " . I heard Kate say from outside .

  Right now , I don't care . I just need to find Zoe and apologise to her.

      " Are you guys coming ? " I asked turning on my phone torch .

      " Ya "  Sofie said and looked at Kate . She sighed.

     "Guess I have no choice then " .

   We walked in gently pointing our torches around .

       " Zoey !!! you in here ? " I shouted .

      " Zoey !!! ". Sofie screamed .

     " We need to find the light switch " . She said.

    " C'mon , this place has been abandoned for years so there's no damn way we'll find
      the light switch ". Kate said .

I don't know but Kate's acting like she doesn't care about Zoey. 

  I hope I'm wrong.

   We walked silently around the house for what seems like years but still no sign of Zoey.

  I'm not giving up that easily .

    "  C'mon guys ... let's just go home .
       I'm already tired . Kate grouched. 

    " You really wanna leave without finding Zoey ?
      Such a wicked soul ".  I heard Sofie say .

      " Did u just say I have a wicked soul ? " Kate said walking towards Sofie .

      " Ya ... or do I have to repeat myself " . Sofie replied .

I wasn't really in the mood to settle their fight . I just need to find my Zoey .

I stopped and looked around pointing my torch . I was still hearing Kate and Sofie fighting.

Immediately , my eyes caught something. I didn't really see it clearly.  I moved slowly till  the image came to view.

      It was ...
 
     " Zoey !!!" I yelled and ran towards her . I bent to her level and found her lying lifeless on the floor .

      " Jesus Christ ".

                                       SOFIE'S POV .
   " You're such a bastard Sofie ... you're the one with a wicked soul ". Kate said angrily.

I don't really care right now . I just need to find Zoey and I'm sure Kate doesn't care about her. Thinking of it , I think Kate doesn't really like Zoey at all that's why she's acting less concerned. 

I was still lost in my thought when I heard Daryl's scream .

     Did he just say Zoey ??

Without a second thought , I ran to where Daryl was only to see him with Zoey's lifeless body .

I couldn't hold on my tears that moment so I let it roll down my cheeks freely. I looked over to Daryl and found him just staring at Zoey speechless.  I can see him trying hard to fight back his tears .

I cleaned my eyes and continued staring at Zoey .

    " Why did this have to happen to her ?
       Why this ? " I said still in tears .

I looked over to where Kate was and saw her smirking evily. 

        " To hell with you Kate !!!" I yelled at her angrily .
