Plot: Becca is dead, Victor is on a rampage and what's left of the Outcasts have no clue what to do next. At least for now, they're safe and-Wait, can we do a head count quickly? I'm certain there's meant to be 5 people here!
Morning arrived before anyone knew it and at the moment, the sky was a beautiful blend of pink and orange for the early morning. The sun was rising, the birds were singing...
Peter: WHERE THE HELL IS SHE!?!
And Peter and Jordan were losing their minds!
The pair had started flipping the entire lower floor of Lily's home upside down and items were scattered everywhere. Drawers were pulled out, the mattress was flipped and Jordan had their head sticking out the window.
Jordan: Lily! Where are you!?
Behind them, Peter was looking inside a nearby box and shaking out the contents, which consisted of nothing but spray paint cans, some empty, and a fashion magazine from 2014.
Peter: Have you found her yet!?
Jordan: No, what about you!?
Peter: If I had, why would I be asking you!?!
Jordan leapt back from the window to be face to face with Peter.
Jordan: Hey, don't get snippy with me! Your sleeping bag was right next to hers, you should've heard her getting up!
Peter: I was sleeping, same as you!! Besides, you were by the only door!
Jordan: Like she can't climb out of windows?! This whole floor is ground level, it's not that hard!
Peter: This is why I said 3 weeks ago we needed to put a bell on her!!
At that moment, Desti came downstairs fitting her jacket back on while Jackson was right behind her, hopping on the right while fitting his left shoe on the other foot.
Desti: What are you guys screaming about!? It's barely 5AM!
The pair looked to them then looked curiously at them.
Peter: Uh, why is your shirt on backwards?
Desti blushed, looking down to find her pink shirt was shorter at the front than the back with a scar where she was previously stabbed.
Looking to Jackson, he gestured her to think of something quickly to explain away what happened last night. Desti quickly just zipped up her jacket and moved on.
Desti: N-Not important, why are you guys screaming at each-other like banshees?!
Jordan: LILY'S GONE!!
Desti's pupils shrank, her heart stopping as her blood turned cold. Every single bad thing in the world ran through her head as she felt her breath quicken and tears running down her face.
Jackson: What do you mean she's gone!?
Jackson was the first to speak while Desti froze up, only able to listen in hopes of getting some kind of clue.
Peter: I mean we woke up and she's not here! She just...vanished!
Jackson: Well, did she get kidnapped again?!
Jordan flipped over Lily's sleeping bag while looking.
Jordan: Unlikely, there'd be signs of a struggle. Not to mention her bag and a few of the water bottles and food snacks are gone.
Jackson: So she just ran away? Why would she-?
Desti: She thinks it's her fault...
Desti finally spoke up, drawing everyone's attention to her.
