Galloping Hills Academy Book 1: Secrets

Chapter 15- Kidnapped

          We walked down the sidewalk to Cedarpring and with each step I got more and more nervous. If Sadie wasn't there.... No Natalie stop. You can't think like that.

          We opened the door and the dorm was quiet. Most people were still out since it was only 9:30 on Friday night. We walked up the steps to the second floor and made our way to room eight.

          I couldn't open the door. We stood there for a minute seeing who would open the door first. Finally, after what seemed like eternity, Katelynne reached for the door and pushed it open.

          I peered inside the room, no sign of Sadie. Panic rose in my chest and I looked at Katelynne.

          "She isn't hear." I said in a daze.

          "Know, really? I hadn't noticed." Katelynne said sarcastically.

          "Were else could she be? She had to have been kidnapped." I rambled.

          "Chill, we can't freak out, it will just make things worse. She might be in the barn visiting the horses" She tried to cover up the wariness in her voice.

          "Okay, what do we do?" I asked.

          "We go to bed. She can take care of herself. If she hadn't acted the way she did, she wouldn't be in this situation. We can't keep worrying about this. Go get ready for bed, she'll probably be here in the morning." Katelynne said.

          "Okay, your right, but you can't blame Sadie for getting kidnapped, it's not her fault." I said before heading into the bathroom.

          Ten minutes later we were in our beds trying to concentrate on reading. I could tell Katelynne couldn't concentrate either. I crawled down in my bed and turned off my purple light.

          "Night."  I said.

          "Night."

          But I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep either. I thought about what she might be doing right now and I shivered. I laid there for what felt like forever and when I rolled over to look at the clock it said 11:59. I looked over at Katelynne and could clearly tell she couldn't sleep either.  

          I rolled back over and went back to thinking. Again, after what felt like eternity I rolled over to see what time it was and the clock said 3:08. Katelynne still wasn't asleep either.

          "Katelynne, are you thinking about Sadie?" I asked, my voice light.

          "Yeah, I can't shut my brain off. If I cant get to sleep soon i'm just going to get up and go ride, that should distract me. Well, better than anything else can." She answered, I could tell from her voice that she was tired.
