The FIVE

Chapter 23- Danger

Alex's POV
The past month has been hell. I had to go through the pain of watching Jake and his new girlfriend Stacy basically make out every second of the day, not to mention the fact that she's a total bitch, she is high school Ansley 6.0

"Admit it, you're jealous" Jake whispers cockily as we make the popcorn for movie night which Stacy was invited to.

"Why would I be jealous? I've got Derek and you've got Stacy" he cringes at the mention of Derek. "Oh I get it, you're jealous! Well you should be because I am very happy with Derek" I tease, well not really, I actually am really happy with Derek. In a way he kind of reminds me of the old Josh and a small bit of me likes that about him.

"No I'm not, but you have to cut it out with D-D- your boy toy!" I chuckle while shaking my head.

"You can't even say his name. Wow you really are jealous! It's too bad Jake, we could have had it all but you called me a slut and ruined all of it" I smirk while pouring the popcorn into a bowl and walking out.

"What the hell?" I thought he was talking to me so I turned around but he is looking at his phone. "What is it?" He shows me the message and it makes me drop the bowl of popcorn.

The message says "You're all in danger get away while you still can" That's the moment that I realized it's happening again.

"Don't go. Something bad is going to happen. I sense it, please just don't go" this raises a little bit of panic in me, usually whenever she has a premonition or she senses something it comes true.

"Car, what is going to happen?"

"Car, Alex, Max, were leaving!" I start walking out but she grabs my wrist again.

"Be careful. It lies beneath you" she whispers and I walk out with fear.

"Hey baby brother and sister, if your watching this then it means that I was right, something went wrong on the ship and you are somehow alive. If that is the case then you need to know that there is a big danger-" the screen goes blurry and then the phone shuts off.

I hear footsteps behind me and knowing its Jake, I turn around and shout "stop following me!"

"No I won't. After what's happened, nobody is going anywhere unattended. Now what the hell are you doing back here"

"I'm looking for clues"

"Clues for what?" He asks confused and I point to a foot print. "Do you think that's Josh's?" I shake my head

"It can't be, as stupid as this is, Josh had tiny feet and this print looks big enough to be a thirteen, look there are more" I point to the tracks of the footprints and follow, hoping that it will lead to where Josh was being held.

As we are following the steps, Jake stops "What? Why'd you stop?" He points to a tree that has something carved into it. I walk over to the tree and read the carving... It says: FOR ALEX with an arrow pointing down. I look at the floor and see a camera. I pick it up and press play

I almost gasp at the sight, it's Josh tied up to a chair and he has stitches on his chest, that's weird why would a killer cut him just to stitch him up again?
