Pentatonix and the Search

Third Person {Chapter 7}

Kirstin woke up in Disney as sunlight flooded the room. She sat up and stretched. Her brown eyes stared out the window, and she realized that she could see the castle standing tall. The weird thing she noticed was that the castle had a shadow over it. Her brown eyes flashed with terror as she realized that it might mean that Kailyn wasn't anywhere near Disney. She sighed as she turned her head away from the castle.

Kirstin: Where are you, Kailyn?

Scott walked in and sat on the bed beside his friend. His blue eyes were filled with concern and fear. But beneath those troubled feelings was love. His voice was gentle as she put herself into his arms. He rubbed her back and held her close.

Scott: We'll find her, Kirstie. We won't stop till we do.

Kirstin's brown eyes filled with tears as she leaned into Scott even more. She buried her head in his chest as her body trembled with agony. Scott held her close and rubbed her back gently. Kirstin lifted her head, tears streaming down her face. Her voice was heavy with fear and concern.

Kirstin: What if we're too late?

Scott couldn't find the words to respond to his friend's terrifying question. He had told Kevin and Matt the same thing two days before. With a jolt, Scott realized that his friend's hope was draining as fast as a river flows downhill. Scott wanted to say something to comfort her, but he couldn't find the words. His heart ached for her as she trembled in his arms. She buried her head in his chest as she continued to tremble. Kirstin pressed her body against Scott's as she wept. Scott sighed as he tried his hardest to comfort his grieving friend, but the more he tried the more he was starting to believe her. If nothing was found today, what would happen to his friends? He knew that they could easily be too late, but he refused to believe that. Mitch and Kirstin might lose hope completely if not even a clue was found today. His blue eyes filled with tears as he gently laid his head on Kirstin's. He stared out the window at the castle, darkened by shadows. Are they too late?

Later that day, they were standing outside the house waiting for Samantha to arrive. Kirstin was standing outside the car because the boys were about to go in, but Mitch's brown eyes were darkened and he wasn't himself. Had Mitch already lost all his hope? Scott sighed before turning to look at Kirstin who had tears streaming down her face. His heart ached for his friends as he watched Jasper move to guard Kirstin. The door opened and Jason Peterson stepped out with a confused look in his eyes.

Jason Peterson: What's going on? Where's Samantha?

Samantha ran up to her father and grabbed onto him. He wrapped his arms around his daughter as they both shed tears. Scott realized with a jolt that Kailyn was right. Jason isn't who he and Mitch thought he was.

Samantha: Dad, Jessica's gone. I can't find her anywhere. She told me that she was at Disney...

Jason: It's okay, my dear. But are you sure that she's gone? She could be with Zac and Victoria.

Samantha: That's the problem! Kailyn's gone too and the police have a search warrant.

Jason helped Samantha inside to allow the police to search the house. Scott and Mitch stood in the living room watching Jason comfort Samantha. Jacob walked up to them with tears in his blue eyes. Scott left Mitch's side, but it was no use because Mitch heard what Jacob had to say.

Scott: Officer Stevens?

Jacob: She's not here. We didn't even find a clue. I'm sorry, sir.

Mitch cried out in agony and bolted outside. His eyes were filled with tears, and Scott sighed. That's it. Mitch has lost the rest of his hope. Nothing was found today and that is what came from that. Scott looked out the front window to see Mitch against the car, crying. His body shook as he wept. Scott watched in horror as Kirstin realized what was bothering Mitch, and she fell to her knees in agony. Scott rushed outside to find that Kirstin was bleeding from her leg and he gasped.
