I wake up the next morning feeling grumpy. I didn't get much sleep last night. 'They were taken.' The same three words kept roaming my mind. The only question is who?

I barely got any sleep. I had a very puffy face. My eyes were swollen. I just looked a hot mess. I finally got dressed and did some makeup to cover up anything. I head out the door and get a start on my day.

I get to school and I head into the library for some studying.

"Don't you have class?" Mason asks Corey.

"Don't you?" He asks back.

"Don't we all?" I questioned them.

"Sh." A random shush's us.

"You sh." I say in an angry tone.

"I can't stop thinking about last night." Mason reminds him.

"Me either." Corey agrees.

"Pause." I spoke up.

"Shh!" She yells again.

"Tell us to sh again. I dare you. Do it again." Mason grabs my arm and drags me from the girl.

"I've read everything about the wild hunt. You know, how they come in by storm, collecting souls, riding lightning. But, I just don't know why they were here. You know, they're ghost riders. What are they doing in a high school library?" Mason rambles. He pauses for a moment before turning back to Corey. "What are you doing here?"

"I just had a feeling."

"About what?" Mason asks.

"Shhh!" A random boy shush's us.

"It is never that serious!" I yell at the boy. Everyone turns their attentions towards me. "What?" I ask everyone. They looked back down at whatever they were doing.

"We only saw them because of your power. What if you have some kind of special ability no one knows about?" Mason goes on. It falls silent between the three of us. "So? What do you feel?"

"That you both have fully lost it." I mumbled. Corey and Mason give me a harsh glare. I smiled back.

"When the ghost riders were up there, I think they were holding something." Corey turns around. "Why can't we remember what happened?"

I stepped back as I got lost in thought. I lost whoever 'them' was, yet I can't remember what happened either.

"What if they weren't holding something, but someone?" Mason points out.

"I may have lost a few people too. I can't remember them at all as well."

"Have you seen any clues?" Mason asks.

"Not that I-" I look down at my hand. "Yes." I show them my right hand.

"Who's Leo?" Corey spoke this time.

"I'm not sure." I respond. Mason flips my hand over to reveal 'Cohen' written on the bracelet. "I don't know who that is either. Let alone this chain that's not mine." I mention showing them which one on my neck.

Mason takes off running as Corey and I follow after him. He stops at the attendance office.

"You want to see the absentee list?" Lydia's mom asks.

"Yes." Mason answers.

"May I ask why?"

"Werewolf stuff." He huffs out.

"I thought I made it clear that Beacon Hills High School is a dedicated safe space. I had to convince twenty-three students that what they saw in the library last semester was a large bear and the fangs on Izzy and Scott McCall were the result of acute teenage hallucination syndrome." She rants on.
