                                                                                  Michael Clifford ; 

Ashton and Calum haven't screamed at each other in a while over that stupid game, and that struck me odd. I turned the water off and stepped out of the shower, swiping the towel off the rack to dry myself off. I turned the radio down and I coud hear Paul talking on the other side of the door. Huh? 

   

  "That outta teach these two" he grubled deeply. "Now find the girl, this can't hit the papers or it'll ruin everything-"

  "Wh-what about the one in the bathroom?" I heard someone ask, frozen when I realized they were talking about me. "What if he gets out?"

  "Don't worry about him, just get the girl!" Paul ordered.

   

All the noises left the room soon after, everything else falling silent. I pulled my clothes over my body and slowly opened the bathroom door peeking out to see what was going on.

   

  "Guys?" I stammered, stepping out into the open to find Cal and Ash laid out on the beds fast asleep. I gulped, wondering if Paul were coming back. "Guys? Are you guys seriously sleeping right now??"

   

I shook Calum who didn't budge. He was out cold, the blank look on his face gave it away. I looked over at Ashton who also wore the same look. What the hell? I walked over to the door and tried opening it, rejected when I felt that it was locked from the outside somehow. What the hell is going on? 

   

  

  

                                                                                   Eleanor Calder ; 

   "Shit!" I panicked, pulling on the locked door to the pool. "Luke??"

   

I peeked in through the window on the door, unable to see anything outside of the water. Where the hell are you? My heart sank. I ran back down the hallway looking for someone who had a key. It was quiet, like no one was here. Why was this place so empty? I got to the front desk and of course, there was no one present. My palms started to sweat nervously thinking about my next move. I looked around still seeing no one. I was already in waist deep, it was too late to care about trouble now. I climbed over the counter and started rummaging through all the drawers and cupboards looking for the key myself.

   

  "Shit!" I mumbled, whiping the tears out of my eyes. "Shit! Come on, you have to be here somewehre-"

   

Suddenly the quiet dwindled. I heard voices rambling and marching off in the distance, getting closer. I fell to the ground hiding behind the counter.

   

  "It's going to take a miracle to find her now" one of the voices complained, sounding close. I froze, covering my breaths with my hand knowing they were talkinga bout me. "What if she left the building? Then we're really screwed."
