Luke's POV



There was a feeling that I just couldn't shake.

The others came back to the table with food and Grace handed me a plate of food. I thanked her and I used my fork to pick through the food but I didn't eat any of it, I just played with it.

Ten minutes had passed since the others had came back and Calum tapped me on the arm.

"Hey, where did Annie go?" He said and I raised an eyebrow. She only went to the bathroom.

She should be back by now.

"She told me she was away to the bathroom. But that was five minutes ago." I said and Calum looked at the main door and got up.

"Where are you going?" I asked and he locked eyes with me.

"I'm going to go find her." He said and I sighed and I looked at Grace.

"Well Grace and I will go with you... if she is in the toilets, we can't go in." I said and Grace looked up from talking to Phoebe.

"Do you mind coming with us?" I asked her and she shook her head, putting down her drink and standing up.

We walked towards the door, Grace's fingers intertwining with mine and I saw Calum had gone a bit ahead of us. I looked around the large room and I actually realised that from each table, a few people were missing. Maybe one or two from each table.

I shook my head and we headed out the door and down a large corridor, where the toilets were.

"Excuse me, where are you going?" I heard someone said and we all stopped, turning around and we saw a man coming towards us. He was dressed the same as the guy who took Michael's car keys off him. They must be working for the party tonight.

"We are looking for our friend." Grace said, and went to keep walking, but I grabbed her arm pulling her back.

"And where is your friend exactly?" The man said and Calum stopped and turned around for the first time to look at you.

"What is it to you? My girlfriend is missing and I'm going to see if she is okay?" He said and the man walked towards us.

"Sir, we will do that, we can't have you wandering round the house yourself." He said and Calum walked towards him.

"I'm not walking around the house... I'm going to the bathrooms were my girlfriend is." He said and the man shook his head, giving us a serious look.

"Please, go back to the main hall. We will find your girlfriend." He said and Calum glared at him for a few minutes and then walked past the guy, bumping into his shoulder. I quickly followed, keeping Grace close to me and once we got around the corner, I stopped Grace and placed my hand on her shoulder.

"Grace, you have to believe me, something strange is going on here." I said and she shook her head.

"The guy probably had a right to tell us not to be sneaking around..." She said and I cut her off.

"Seriously, Grace? We were going to the bathroom to find our friend? What was so wrong about that?" I said and she bit her lip, and she sighed.

"If she doesn't come back in five minutes, we'll go look for her again." She said and I nodded, although I still wasn't convinced.

I kept a tight hold on Grace until I got to the main hall and we sat back down at our table. I drummed my fingers off the table and felt a bead of sweat run down my forehead.
