Growing Pains

Chapter 7: She's gone

Green POV:

"Red!" I yelled, as I entered the 'Sticks Fight' website. "You in here? Second's looking for you!" I sighed.  Where the hell is Red? 

After I had finished my half burnt breakfast, I went to chill, but nope. Second was all:
'Where's Red? She hasn't had breakfast? We need to find her.', and all that.

Second needed to confess already. It was obvious he liked her... I don't know if Red liked him back, though. I think she did. 

Well, I was sent to look here, like I'm going to find her. Red may be the youngest out of all of us, and possessed twice, but it isn't like her to hide away. She's always happy... or seems happy, and never hesitated to jump into conversation, or jump in the way of a murder.

"Redddd!" I called again, checking around, in the back room, upstairs, under the stairs(her favorite hiding spot).

"Did you find her?" Yellow asked, when I returned to the couch. 

I shook my head.

"No luck." I said. "But where could she be? None of us saw her this morning, did we? Did she even come to bed last night?"

"I don't think she did..." Yellow looked at the ground. 

"Guys!" Blue yelled from the right side of Alan's monitor. "Come here!" 

Yellow and I ran over to find Blue, petting Reuben... Red's pig.

"I found him over here." Blue said quietly, "He seemed anxious... or well.. if animals get anxious."

"Guys, what are you doing over here-" Second cut off, spotting Reuben. "What's Reuben doing here-" He stopped short again, putting the puzzle together in his head.

Soon

"Where could she have gone? What was she thinking? Did she say anything to anyone?" Yellow paced around our website. Blue sat on the floor next to her, and both Second and I sat on the stairs.

"She didn't say anything to me..." Second said, his tone sad.

"Me neither." I sigh.

"Same." Blue buried her face into her palms.

"Well..." Yellow said, thinking hard, "Green, weren't you up late a few nights ago with her?"
The ask surprised me.

"What do you mean?" I responded.

"For starters, I was up as well that night...um... doing stuff...." She states, and I roll my eyes. She probably was tinkering with her little redstone 'projects'. "And I saw you two outside."

"Well, yeah."

"Did she say anything?" 

"Um... before I headed outside I..um.. heard her talking to Reuben about 'different worlds' and that kind of stuff." 

"Anything else?" Yellow pressures, and I start to sweat.

"Uh... before I went outside I heard her  say something about 'exploring the different world' and crap like that."

I look at my friends. 

Second and Yellow have matching looks of dread. Slowly it dawns on me too.

Red was gone.
Somewhere off alone
Somewhere exploring without us - her family.
She could be in danger
She might be in danger.

A danger to herself.

"Guys..." Blue whimpers, looking at us with a scared look. 

"What if she doesn't come back?"

Red was out there by herself with no one to make sure she didn't do anything stupid. With no one to protect her if she got in trouble. With no older siblings for support...

And she might never be coming back.

Chosen POV

Someone had knocked on the door. 
And I, The Chosen One didn't want to answer. It could be those awful agents again. What the hell did they want with me anyways?

Knock.

"Cho, get the door!" Dark, my annoying hell brother yelled from the other room.

"No. You get it yourself." I shot back.

A fireball whizzed past my ear, singeing my hair.

"Fine, fine." I groaned, not wanting to get into another fight with my brother/best friend.

"Heh. that's what I thought." He laughed.

I open the front door to find a girl. She's soaked from head to toe, as if she went for a swim in the lake. She has a serious look on her face, but it's ruined by a ridiculous looking yellow bandanna, holding back her crazy red hair.
It was one of Sec's friends.... Red was her name. 

"Hello." She said, confidently, like she had practiced this exact line. "Is Dark here?"
