"Alright, this shouldn't be found." Dad put the bag down. I'm getting that same feeling I got at the arcade...

"You alright kiddo?" Dad asked
"Not sure. I'm gonna call the others..." I pulled my phone out and walked off.

COME ON PICK UP AIDEN!

"Y/N?" I heard his voice on the other line
"Is Tyler okay?" I asked
"Yeah, he's okay. He's in rough shape though. How'd you know to call?" He asked
"Oh, I got a gut feeling." I felt someone get me in a headlock
"Y/N!? Y/N!?" Aiden yelled. The person stepped on my phone.

"What are you gonna do now phantom girl?" He asked. I flung my foot forward and the knife came out the end. I kicked the guy and screamed. Dad came out and grabbed me.

"WHAT THE HELL!" He yelled. He picked me up and we ran out.
"He broke my phone." I held it up
"Why'd you grab it then?" He asked. I pulled the case off to reveal a photo of me and Aiden in a matching outfit.
"Had to get this." I bucked in
"Alright." Dad laughed.

The car ride back was quiet and my vision kept flickering between the two realms.

We pulled into the parking lot and I ran inside.
"THANK GOD!" I was automatically attacked by Taylor and Ashlyn when I walked in.
"I'm fine..." I hugged them both and sat in Tyler's bed
"I'm sorry..." I clenched my fists
"Not your fault. Stop acting so mopey bean." He looked back at his food
"What?" I held in a laugh
"You wear green all the time so I'm calling you bean from now on." He mumbled
"Whatever." I rolled my eyes playfully

I stood up and Aiden walked out of the bathroom. His eyes widened and he hugged me.
"Hey crazy." I laughed
"Hey phanto." He laughed too
"Phanto?" I tilted my head
"Short for phantom. Just by one letter." He shrugged
"About that..." I turned around and faced the others

"The whole phone thing...someone grabbed me and called me 'phantom girl'. We're being hunted or something..." I looked at the ground
"So, stick together. I'll have the doctors." Tyler shrugged
"Wouldn't that make it easier to get us?" Aiden asked
"Oh...I'm not sure." Tyler looked out the window
