Guys, I've decided that this is going to be part of a three part series!
It's called 'Demons'
Which means there are going to be two books after TGTCF!
So basically this one is based on Riley, the sequel focuses on Maya and the third one,l is about Lucas and Farkle.
Yay or nay for a series?

Riley's POV
6th July 2020
When morning arrives and he disappears, I always forget what he had done to me.

I only remember the pain.
------------------------------------------
Lucas' POV
As soon as we touched down in Auckland I knew something was wrong.

Riley's plane was only an hour ahead of us, but she was nowhere to be seen.

"You lied didn't you?" Farkle's voice declares, pointing his finger at Zay.

Zay fiddles with his fingers and chuckles nervously.

"You wanna hear a good Riley story?"

Maya shoves him against the wall, anxiety and anger flashing in her aquamarine eyes.

Yike. Those pregnancy hormones are kicking in.

"H-How did you know?" Zay croaks, as we try and fail to pry Maya off him.

"Riley would do anything for her friends. So in the event that she tricked us, I've been tracking her laptop," Farkle explains simply, sticking his hands in the pocket of his jeans.

---------------------------------------

One day later, after stealing a car, Farkle pulls up at an amazing abandoned landscape in Queenstown.

The land is sleeping underneath a blanket of cream. The blue sky floats above us, and the dark green trees poke up from underneath, the only signs of life.

Suddenly, we see a figure sobbing hysterically at the top of a hill.

Riley.

---------------------------------------

Riley's POV

Maybe the snow will soothe the pain, oh god how I hate Demon Lucas.

All of a sudden, I hear people yelling.

Oh no.

How did they find me?

They're here to do worse than Demon Lucas.

They're here to explain that they hate you.

That's not true.

If you die, it will make this a lot easier.

I've always liked red better than white.

Red is admittedly a better colour...

No.

Go Riley.

And I run.

---------------------------------------
Lucas' POV
Why is she running?

I immediately begin to chase after her.

The snow hugs my knees, but I persevere. Poor Riley, she's stumbling.

"Lucas!" Maya shrieks, and points at where Riley is running.

I look and my eyes widen.

She's running up a cliff.

Not a particularly tall cliff, but a f-King cliff all the same.

Finally, after a long and strenuous trek, and manage to catch up with Riley at the top.

She whips her silky chocolate brown hair around, and turns to face me. Her angelic face looks at me sadly as I reach for her hand.

Without warning she screams, and something grabs my shoulders.

Something, that isn't human.

I feel a hard force against my back, and my feet stumble until...................








I'm falling.

And the world goes black.
