"Okay, we'll be right over!" William hangs up the phone and throws his phone to the ground.

It feels like slow motion the way it slams to the ground and smashes into several tiny little pieces. William just broke his phone.

"William. You broke your phone." I say as I get up from where I'm sitting.

"I know." William slouches and continues to stare at his phone for another 10 seconds.

After that he swears really loudly but shoots up with a grin on his face.

"Okay then. So you just broke your expensive phone and now you're grinning, what?" I raise my eyebrow at him and he laughs.

"I'll get it fixed! Don't worry. I don't care anyway, it's a crap phone." He shrugs still grinning.

"Well then. What are we going to do about my cousin?" George asks.

"Which one, the one I'm going out with or-" William starts but I interrupt him.

"Please tell me you're not going out with a 17 year old?"

"Who's 17?" George asks me.

"Theo you idiot!" I snap him round the face and he flinches.

"No last time I checked she was 22. Jenna, Becs. My girlfriend is Jenna. But don't tell Harry! He won't like it if I'm going out with his older sister." William puts his hands together in front of him like he's praying for me not to tell him.

"Okay, I promise I won't, now do you want to find her or not?" I grab the door handle and fling it open.

"But dramatic but let's go with it, okay." George mutters and William nods at him.

William pulls into a little dirt track next to the motor way.

"Why are we stopping here? You haven't forgotten how to drive Harry's car have you?" George jokes.

Earlier we got into Williams car to only realise it had barely any petrol left. Stupid Harry left his car unlocked and the keys in it.

"I told Theo to meet us here. And besides Harry's four by four is perfect for these types of roads. Luckily Theo only leaves a few minutes away and can cut through the forest to end up here." William says as he stops the car.

William gets out of the car and jumps down leaning on the rough, dusty dirt track. I follow him.

A tall figure, a bit taller than William but a little smaller than Harry. His dark brown hair in a slightly curled quiff. He wears a blue polo shirt with a burgundy hoodoo over it a black skinny jeans with a pair of scruffy, dirty white converse. He walks closer to me and his big green eyes catch mine. He gives me a small smile, his dimples showing. He looks a lot like Harry, as he has the same nose as well, handsome.

Well after all, they are brothers!

"Hey Willis! Hi Becca." Theo smiles at me. "Should we go find my sister?"

I nod and we get in the car. I sit in the front with William and George and Theo sit behind.

"Where's Harry?" Theo asks William.

"You didn't tell him?!" I snap.

"What no, how could I? His sisters just gone missing as well you know!" He whispers back to me.

"Yes I know that but still!"

"Wait, what are you lot going on about?" Theo laughs nervously.

William starts up the car and pulls onto the motorway.

"Well, basically... we can't find Harry!" William speaks quicker than I think he had hoped for.

"Oh.. well- what do you mean you can't find him? I mean come on! He's Harry! You can't just loose him! Jesus christ!" Theo yells.

"Hey calm down. We will find him, don't worry!" I tell him.

It took us another 25 minutes to drive to Jenna's apartment. We spend that amount of time in silence, staring out of the window and focusing on our quiet breathing.

We get to the main door and hurry up the stairs. Jenna's apartment is floor 5, apartment 5b, the second apartment on that floor.

William hurries of first. He reaches her floor and bangs on it. Quickly he reaches into his pocket.

"Come on Abigail, you must of out my keys in- yes! Thank you, you ghostly little creepy girl!" William panicks.

I catch up to him and ask, "how did you know it was Abigail?"

"What do you mean?" He asks as he puts the key in the hole.

"You said 'come on Abigail', how did you know that it was Abigail who changed you?"

"Come on Becs, it's obvious, who else would? John? No way!" He laughs and he flings open the front door.

"Fair point."

I rush in after him to see her once beautiful spacious apartment trashed. Papers lie everywhere. Furniture overturned. Lamps broken.

The kitchen, dining room and lounge are all one big room. With three massive windows the size of me looking out towards the city. It was a beautiful apartment, now it's ruined!

"Wow, when I came here earlier it wasn't this bad. But then, I had a hang- over and couldn't really think straight, my head was killing me!" Theo moaned.

William jumps round the apartment, being careful not to step on anything. But he stops and stares at the wall behind the TV.

"Oh god! I didn't see that!" Theo gasps.

I take a few steps forward. On the wall in what looks like dripping blood reads, 'told you you shouldn't of gone down there!'
