Dax

I was parking my car in front of my house, Ollie and Cleo right behind me on their bikes, when I saw that my sister's car was missing. Jumping out of the car, I ran towards my house. The boys sensing something wasn't right jumped from the bikes and followed me in the house.

"Lily? Where are you?" There was no response. "Cupcake? Caitie?" I ran up the stairs to my bedroom, then to my sister's, but they were empty. I was hearing the boys looking around the house, making sure that the girls weren't here. Just when I was turning to go to them, I saw little plastic parts on the ground in Caitie's room. It looked like they were part of something, but I had no idea what.

"No one is in the house. Did you try calling them?" Ollie suggested from the hall in front of the room I was in.

"I have one phone here, so there's no need to call this one." Cleo came to me and gave me the phone. Lily's.

"Shit!" I was calling my sister in the next second, but no one was picking up. "C'mon, c'mon, you little shithead. Where are you...". I tried calling again, then again, while this bad feeling was growing inside my stomach. Just when I was going to end the call, I heard voices from the other side of the line. They were screaming, and I had no idea who they were.

"Caitie? Where the hell are you?" I changed my phone settings so that the boys could hear what I was hearing. The three of us gathered closer to the phone, everyone trying to understand what the people were screaming about. "Caitie!"

"Hey, douchebag, don't you fucking touch her!" Someone screamed close the phone, then it sounded like the phone was dropped to the ground and the girl that sounded suspiciously like Lily was moving away. Then there was some commotion.

"You crazy bitch!" That was a male voice. There was some grunting, I guess from the same man, and after that two set of steps. One getting away from the phone, followed by closing of a door, and the other were coming towards the phone.

"Fucking pig!" And that was the voice of my sister. At least I knew that she was alive. There were so many bad scenarios going through my head when both girls were missing from my house that after hearing their voices, I let a breath that I didn't know  I was holding up until now.

"Hey! Get the damn phone and tell me where the fuck are you!" I wasn't sure if anyone could hear me, but was worth the try. There were some hushed voices away from me, and some sounds that were best described as heavy stuff being moved around the floor. "HEY!" I screamed at the phone.

"Oh, damn, where the hell is it..." That was Lily. I guess she heard me, after her voice was coming closer and closer to the phone. "Oh, here it is. O-oh." And then there was a pause. I knew that she picked the phone, I heard the movement, so I knew that she was able the hear me nice and clear.

"So, Cupcake, care to share where the hell you and my sister are? And who was the guy with you?"

"Ummm, hi Dax, didn't know you were here..."

"What! That's Dax! He's so going to kill us!" That was my sister screaming from a far. "Shit! Shit! Shit!..." I could hear Caitie walking around the room, freaking out.

"Lily...? What's going on?"

"Umm, so from 1 to 10. How mad are you right now?"
