Reydan <3 ^^

Reydan

"No Dad! We will find her!" I yell at my parents and two police detectives. "We can't give up, not yet..." I run my hand through my blond hair in ultimate defeat. We've asked anyone and everyone we could think of that might have taken her and her friends. Everyone. Even her boyfriend Jordan had no idea. He's taking her disappearance hard.

"Rey, dear, we've looked everywhere. She gone." My mom says while placing a hand on my shoulder. I shrug her off and glare.

"You don't even care, do you?" I say. "You want her to be gone."

"Of course not-" my mom begins but my dad cuts her off with a hand in her arm. His lips are pressed in a firm line.

"Leave us please." He says softly to the detectives. They nod and retreat into the living room. "Look, son, we love Elizabeth, we do. It's just, with the company, we wanted to pass it on to our son, not our daughter. But company tradition it goes down to the oldest child, but now, since she's gone, we can pass it on to you."

"You two make me sick." I say. "Being happy that your own daughter is gone so you can pass your stupid company down to a guy instead of a girl? Elizabeth is twice the person I'll ever be, and if you can't see that, then you don't deserve her. Or me." I swiftly turn to leave the room.

"Reydan get back here right now." My mom says. When I turn, she is scowling and pointing to the space in front of her. Not wanting to anger her more, I make my way to where she is pointing. I have never been one to disobey, Elizabeth was the one who did that. My mom roughly grabs my chin in a bruising grip.

"Listen here Reydan." She snarls. "You will take over the company and you will NOT go looking for your pathetic excuse of a sister. You are our only heir and you will act like it. Go get dressed for the gala tonight, you're going with Elora Harley. Our business partner's eldest daughter. You will behave and if you don't, their will be consequences."

"Son, we need you to do this." My dad says grimly. I nod, for my dad. If for no one, I will do it for him. My dad I trust.

"Yes dad." I say. I leave the room and quickly ascend the staircase. To go to my room? No. I'm going to Elizabeth's room to find evidence. To find something, that will lead me to my older sister.

The door to her room squeaks open. Her room is smaller than mine, but still quite large. Her bed is off in one corner, a corner desk in the other and her closet on the left. Her belongings are scattered everywhere, the clothes on the floor increasing towards the floor length mirror. Pillows are scattered across her bed and her blanket lay crumpled to the side. My sister is very messy.

I step into the room and soundlessly shut the door behind me. Where to start? Knowing my sister, she would have hidden something she didn't want found in plain sight. I kick everything on the floor around with my foot, not wanting my parents to notice that I've been poking around against their wishes. I wish I had her phone. It would be like a little gold mine of secrets that could be the reason she got kidnapped.

After several minutes, I find her iPad mini. It will have to do. I open the iPad and immediately click on her messages. Thank you iCloud. I click on Jordan. Shit. I carefully scroll through the most recent messages between them.

Elizabeth: Why won't you just leave me alone?

Jordan: I love you. And you're hot ;)

Elizabeth: You disgust me. Stay the fuck away from me.

Jordan: I will have you one way or another princess.

Elizabeth: Fuck off

I gasp a little and almost drop her iPad. They broke up and he was angry. Jordan is now my prime suspect, but I can't investigate him now. I slip the iPad into her pillow case and quickly leave her room.

That piece of shit hurt my sister. And he would pay.

Stares burn into me from all sides of the hallway. My football buddies surround me in a protective group, but I can catch conversation pieces from gossiping teens.

"His sister was kidnapped?"

"Elizabeth?"

"Do you thinks she's dead?"

"Jordan must be devastated."

"Don't listen to them Rey," My best friend, Carter says, "I will help you get your sister back. We all will." The guys all nod in agreement.

"Meet me after practice." I say. A chorus of 'okays' fills my ears. I grin and we all go our separate ways. Jordan is going down, one way or another. I will get to the bottom of what the hell happened between him and my sister.

Carter and a few others stand with me in Elizabeth's room. Digging through boxes going through notebooks, anything to find out what Jordan could have done to her.

"Reydan. Look at this." Wyatt says while staring into what appears to be a very worn picture. I see a brilliant white tiger with eyes as fierce as a wolf's. Why would Lizzy just have a random picture of a tiger?

"Why would she have this?" I ask. At the bottom, messy hand writing shows the words "Delilah - The One and Only". What the hell?

"Guys over here." Carter breathes. He reaches into her closet and pulls out a diary. Could she have written everything in there?

"Flip to the most recent entry." I say to him. We all crowd around the book as Carter leafs through the pages. Hot breath makes my neck sweat in anticipation. Carter reaches a recent page in my sister's messy hand writing. The date reads May eighth.

"This was only three days before she was taken!" I say while eagerly reading the page.

May 8th, 2017

Jordan and I broke up a few months ago, I'm in love with someone else now. Reydan would never approve. Carter O'hair is my new love. Well for one he's so hot and the way his hair reflects the sunlight makes my mouth water. I just want to-

"Skip the part about Carter please." I say through chuckles as Carter's eyes widen in shock. He is so clueless.

Lila wants me to practice shifting and fighting in my tiger form. I told her no, but she ended up taking control and forcing me to. Ugh, Tigers and their tempers.

-Elizabeth Jade Razor

"What does she mean shift? Tiger?" I ask. My brain hurts as I try to piece together the information I have just received.

"Could Lila be the tiger named Delilah in that picture?" Jason says while grabbing the little photograph. I shake my head.

"How could a tiger talk to a human? It doesn't make any sense. Also, how could someone take over Lizzy?" I say. They all shrug their shoulder as well. All of them except for Damon.

"Guys, I'm not supposed to say anything about this, but, for Lizzy, I am going to tell you." Damon sighs while looking at Wyatt, Carter, Jason and I. "Werewolves are real. And from what I can tell, Elizabeth has the only tiger spirit in the world living inside of her."

Well shit.
