Hailey laid in her bed. She didn't know what else to call it. They gave her a blanket to lay on earlier in the day... or night? She lost track of time. She didn't know how many days passed.

Yelling was heard from the hallway. Hailey squinted in confusion. There was no one else here besides her and the Shadowings.

Her door flung open, and a girl was tossed in with her. She had dark, wavy brown hair and dark skin. She groaned sitting up. "You have company, pet." Harold told Hailey angrily. The door slammed shut.

Hailey's focus went to the girl. She looked extremely familiar. "Stupid perras!"

Hailey smiled in relief. "Georgia!"

Georgia turned around and crawled to Hailey. "Jesus, what did they do to you?"

"Never mind that. How did you even find me?" Hailey threw her arms around her. She didn't care that it was the girlfriend of her life-long bully. She was just happy that she wasn't alone anymore.

Georgia hugged back tightly. "Kyle and I were driving past when we saw this thing holding you! Kyle went to find your friends and I followed the thing-"

"Shadowings. We call them Shadowings." Hailey pulled away. "Jesus, it feels so good to have someone I know here."

Georgia nodded her head in understanding. "Then, one of them grabbed me when I was out of Kyle's sight and took me here. God, I must've been wandering for, like, days! Five days, I think." Georgia frowned, looking at Hailey's body. "Hailey, what the hell did they do to you?"

Hailey smiled sadly. "I'm sure you'll find out soon. You're in here with me, they'll start doing it to you, too."

The door opened.

Shawn harshly pushed the others awake. "She fucking left!" He kept repeating.

Beatrice groaned. "I knew that she would be as stubborn as shit." Rubbing her head, she looked at Shawn. "I'm willing to help you guys and myself get there quicker than her, but you'll need to trust me."

Fredrick and Shawn stirred awake, looking at Shawn and Beatrice. Shawn shook his head. "No. Just because Rachel trusts you does not mean that we trust you."

"Shawn-"

"And you're the reason this all happened! If you would have just never came here, she would've never gotten her powers!"

"Shawn."

"Also, she wouldn't have fucking left-"

"God dammit, Shawn! Shut up and listen to her." Fredrick scolded. Shawn ran a hand through his hair, listening to Fredrick and sitting down in the grass.

"Thank you, Fredrick."

"Just do what you need to do."

Beatrice smiled and took a deep breath. Wind picked up and swiftly blew past the group. It swirled around them, going faster by the second.

When it stopped, the boys were in awe. Before them, there were five angelic like creatures in front of them. Four of them looked the same. They had silver hair with white eyes. They wore bright white robes with golden jewelry and accessories. However, the middle drew most of their attention.
