Simply Starco

Chapter Eight-It's A Trap!

Star's POV

Marco!

Marco was in HUGE trouble!

After checking his room and finding out that he wasn't in it, I literally flew down the stairs and into the kitchen, looking around the room, desperately. Until I spotted a note sitting on the kitchen table.
I swiped it up and quickly read the sheet of paper:

To Star,

I went to hang out with Jackie at the Mall. I don't know when I'll be back, so I left some nachos out for you.

Marco

No! No! No! This wasn't happening! If Jackie was left alone wih Marco, surely she would...
I grabbed a handful of nachos and shoved them into my mouth, whilst I pulled my Dimensional Scissors out of my yellow star-shaped pouch.
'Hang on, Marco! I'm coming!' I thought, as I cut through the fabric of space, whilst chewing the most delicous food on Planet Earth.

Marco's POV
Wow...I still couldn't beleive that I was on a date with Jackie...It was almost like a dream.
We'd gone and had our burgers and Jackie had just asked me if I wanted to see something amazing.

Naturally, I'd accepted. I really didn't want this date to take a turn for the worse...

"Trust me, you're gonna love this place, Marco" Jackie said, as she walked ahead of me. "It's my favourite place in the whole city"
"R-Really? Well, I guess if you l-like it that much; I suppose I will too" I replied, still a little bit shy.

We continued walking for a little bit longer until I noticed that we were leaving the Mall. I didn't really think much of it, I mean, Jackie's favourite place was probably in the Echo Creek Skate Park, which was about ten minutes away from the Mall; so I could understand while we were leaving all of a sudden.
I began to notice that wherever we were heading to seemed to be a pretty deserted and remote place.
"Uh...Jackie, how much further?" I asked, looking around at the old, worn-out buildings.
"Hm...here, should be juuust fine" she replied, stopping in her tracks.
"Huh? This is your favourite place in the whole city? Isn't this the old Industrial Sector that shut down in 1970?"
"Yeah, that's right. I'm suprised you knew all that. But the reason I like it here is because, here; nobody can hear you scream..."

Star's POV
I'd finally made it to the Mall, but how was I going to find them in this huge crowd of people?
I darted around, looking into shops, tears begining to form into my eyes.
I'd never be able to find those two in a place like this...

Think Star...Think...

If I were a muderous, potential boyfriend stealing psycopath; where would I go?

Somewhere secluded...far off from civilization...

The desert!

Oh wait, maybe not the desert?  The most secluded place in Echo Creek, huh?
Would School count, as one?

No, no...It was no good guessing where Marco might be, I had to find out now!
I grabbed a randomer by their wrists and pulled them to one side.
"Excuse me, but do you know where the most secluded place in Echo Creek is?" I asked, politely.
A confused, old man looked straight back at me.
"Hmm...wouldn't that be the old Echo Creek Industrial Sector?" He replied.
"And which direction is it in?"
"That way. Through the exit and then take a right and keep going in that direction...May I ask why you're going there?"
"Uhm...It's sorta complicated, but I've got there fast!"
"Then go, quickly girl! Don't let me keep you here any longer!"
"Thank you so much! I appreciate it!"
"No problem, now hurry!"

I nodded and took off running towards the exit.
I just hoped that I wasn't too late to save Marco...
