Robin's Story (Black Phone Fanfic)

Chapter 8

Elena POV

I woke up in the morning to my mom knocking on my door. "Sweetie? Gwen is on the phone for you and I'm heading to work."

"Okay, mom." I said as I got up, walking out to the kitchen as she left. I got on the phone, "hello?"

"Did Finn stay the night with you?! He never came home!" Gwen's panicked voice made me feel like throwing up. "I'm coming over!"

I couldn't even find the words before she hung up and I rushed to get ready. Finn didn't leave that late last night, the sun was barely setting! I got ready as soon as Gwen got here and I hugged her as she was freaking out.

"It happened again. I saw it when I was dreaming. Come on, we're gonna search every freaking house today and look for that van."

I nodded and followed after her, grabbing my taser just in case. The police were told what happened and soon we had more help, but after a few hours we still didn't have any luck.

Donna and her brother ran over to us, her arms wrapping around Gwen and I with tears running down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry girls."

I mentally rolled my eyes as Gwen thanked her. I grabbed Gwen's hand and kept dragging her on, we couldn't stop when we still had another few blocks. We had to stop searching when the sun was setting but one house I couldn't help staring at.

The one guy who was off his rocker was here and he was questioned by the police. I turned to Gwen, "I'm gonna go ask him for help again. Just keep watch okay?"

She nodded and I walked over to the front door, knocking on it. That guy Max opened the door, his eyes widened and smile on his face. "Oh! No police, thank god. Come in! Come in!"

He ushered me in and I noticed the bulletin board right away. "Okay! So you're the girlfriend of this one right?" He pointed to Robin's missing paper and I nodded. "Okay so that Grabbed had to have gotten him here, but whatever he uses to keep his victims asleep doesn't last long so he must have had to stay local. Somewhere in this area."

Suddenly the front door slammed open and I turned to see a man with a weird face mask covering the bottom half of his face. He looked angry, really angry, at the both of us.

"Max. What did I say about letting strangers in my house." He stormed over to us and practically snarled in my face, "Get. Out." I narrowed my eyes at him, glaring back at him.

"Make. Me."

His eyes turned vicious for a moment but Max quickly intervened. "Ohhh okay little one, perhaps it wouldn't be smart to piss him off. Let's just go, but remember what I said."

I thanked him, glared at the other asshole in the room, before leaving. I stormed over to Gwen's side and dragged her with me, away from the house. I told her what happened and she warned me about making people mad in their own houses.

I felt horrible watching Gwen go down the same road of depression as I did, it's been almost a week since Finn was taken to. Gwen and I had been close since we met, but now we practically attached at the hip. Only we understood what each other was going through.

She lost her brother and I lost my boyfriend to the same tragic fate. She still got night visions but not much to help us find the exact house. I watched as she tore open her doll house and frantically grab at her cross.

"Gwen this is the second time you did this in the past hour. You're gonna tire yourself out. You know they just come to you in your sleep." I got off the bed and kneeled beside her, taking the cross from her and I frowned at her defeated look.

"I just thought if I asked enough, I could get a vision of what house the boys are in. I hate this. All of it."

"Hey Elena?" I heard Gwen's dad say from the hallway and we quickly closed the dollhouse. "Your mom called, said it's time to go back home for dinner."

"Thank you Mr. Blake." I shouted back as I got up and grabbed my bag. "Remember, don't tire yourself out okay?" She nodded and I hugged her before leaving home.

I made my way home, sitting down at the dinner table with my mom. She smiled softly at me, setting my plate down in front of me. "I owe you an apology. I shouldn't have tried playing matchmaker while we still look for Robin. That was wrong of me."

"And for drugging me to sleep."

"That too. I just knew no matter how much I begged you never would have slept. That still was wrong of me too." She gave me a hug from behind and kissed my head. "You're my daughter, I've seen you fall in love. While I prepared myself for when you and Robin broke up, I never prepared myself for when you lost him for a tragic kidnapping."

"Have you called his uncle today?" I asked her as I took a bite and she nodded. Robin's uncle and my mom are good friends since they both technically are one of the few here that speak Spanish. Robin's uncle hasn't been doing well either, but my mom talks to him every day and makes sure to stop by to see if he's eaten.

"Mom? What would you do if you ever lost me that way?"

"I would search the entire city," she smiled at me, "It would kill me to lose my child that way. I'd question God daily, father forgive me, but I wouldn't know how to cope."

"I'm not going to focus on myself, Gwen and I need to find Robin and Finn. Even if it's just their bodies."
