Mitch's POV

"Carlee, we have to go."

"Mitch." she whined back to me, clinging onto the rail of the back porch.

I observed her from the doorway, wondering what was floating through her mind.

"Carlee." It turned my head around towards the interior of the house while She stayed firmly put.

The wind began to pick up, sending my shirt into a wild flapping motion and whipping Carlee's hair into her face.

"I'm sorry, but the plane leaves in 15 minutes, let's go." my sentence began soft, but soon turned hard and stern.

Over the past three days Cassie hadn't come down once. I assumed Carlee had been taking food up to her, not questioning it.

"Have you seen Cassie lately?" I blurted and she turned at my random question.

"No, she hasn't come down for three days." she told me, matching the hardness in my tone.

"Wait, but have you been taking her food at all?"

"No..." she trailed off as we shared a glance.

We both abruptly sprinted up the stairs and to Cassie's door. It was locked.

"Cassie, open up now." Carlee's booming, fear blanketed voice sent chills down my backside.

Knowing there was no arguing with her, the lock clicked and the door creaked open as slow as it possibly could.

Carlee's POV

My heart stopped when I saw her.
She was pale.
She was almost down to the bone.
She had bruises on her arms.
She had jagged cuts on her thighs.
She had bloodshot eyes surrounded by bags.

Cassandra Jabal looked almost dead.
