"We'll wait and see" I glared at him, making it clear that I didn't like it.
"I didn't do anything though!"
"Jestine wouldn't lie to me, not about that"
"She is really ill at the moment. She obviously isn't in the right frame of mind-"
"Don't you talk bad about her!" I warn
"She was mentally ill. About that vision, did you see it too?" He asked, and I nodded.
"It was horrible!"
"That's what must have happened to her when she was little, didn't her father look a bit old-fashioned?"
"She has a complicated life span"
"Uhh..." he was speechless.
"She has had a really bad life, and it can't really get any worse- I just jynxed that, didn't I." I said
"Sorry, bro"

When we got back, it was torrential rain, and the others had already gone in.
"Let the rain wash away all the pain from yesterday" she whispered as she looked up at the full moon.
"Happy Birthday" I said and she kissed me, her hands on my face, and my hands in her hair. Then we went in, still kissing.
"Ugh, get a room, guys! We don't want to see that!" Sam said, sticking her tounge out in disgust. Jestine broke the kiss and headed for the stairs.
"I'll be right back, I just need to do something" she put her finger up, signifing one minute.
After 15 minutes, I walked over to her room, knocking lightly on the door before entering.
"Hey, Jestine, do you have your window open because- Jestine!"
She wasn't in her room, and the window was wide open.
I rush into the living room.
"Jestine is gone! Again! She could be anywhere!" I shout, starting to panic.
"Hey, hey, calm it, I'm sure we'll find her!" Seán said, I glared at him.
"Mark, please" Sam said, you almost never hear from her now.
"We'll find her, don't worry!"
"But I have to worry, because she wasn't right in he head after that Dan person broke her, now she has run off. She could be killing herself right now! Nobody knows-" I got interupted as Sam got up and hugged me, I stood back in shock at the comfort.
"I'm worried too..." Sam whispered, and she reminded me so much of Jestine, that I broke down in tears, my hair going slightly blueish.
Seán had left the room, and none of us had noticed.
"Where is Seán?" Sam said, a slight uneasiness in her voice.
"We know what happened last time somehing like this happened" I warned.
"Dammit!" Felix exclaimed.
We could hear Sam shouting upstairs, calling for Seán, hope in her voice, but she came down stricken.
The front door was wide open, and the lashing rain was almost impossible to see through, Sam yelled out into the darkness, but came in crying, her voice going hoarse as she called out once more, she didn't find him. He wasn't there.
"Now two people! Damn!" Felix put his hands through his hair in dismay.
How could they have both gone missing? I'm pretty sure Jestine isn't missing, but lost mentally, and Seán must have gone out looking for her and got lost. That has to be the case. I explain my theory to Felix, who agrees, and then walks off to the utility room to start the washing machine (I don't know how he knows this stuff).
I switch on the TV, to find Felix and Seán's parent/s have filed missing reports for them. Felix's parents have lied, about Felix, and I can suddenly see how he knows domestic chores. Felix walks into the room and sees the 42' screen before I can switch it off.
We stayed silent for a while.
"T-they lied" he said slowly.
"I don't know what to say, except that it is really bad-"
"Stop! Just. Stop" I look at him, and see a dancing flame of orange in his blue eyes, and I nearly fall off the sofa in shock, I don't know why. I should be used to all this now.
"They will pay" says Felix under his breath as he gets his coat, I try to stop him.
"No, you can't, I only have you and Sam left-" but before I could finish, he was out the door.
I went upstairs to see Sam.
"Hey, you OK-" she silenced me with a finger.
"I can feel her...at rest"
"I knew it!" I knew she was talking about Jestine.
"No, she isn't dead, just sleeping"
"She's knocked out!"
"No, not physically as there is no pain, but possibly by an injection of some sort, but she is sleeping."
"Where?!" I fish for answers
"In a car" she said calmly
"Felix has gone!" She exclaims as she gets up, and rushes downstairs, I follow her.
"I know" and she stares at me.
"How could you not have told me?!"
"I tried to, but then you shushed me!"
"Urgh!!!" She growled "you shouldn't have let him!"
"He was turning!" She stared at me again, this time for a full minute, not blinking...
