Chapter 23

Trystan and his gang along with Jasmine and Tori sat at the benches, stuffing their faces with their sandwiches. Trystan bit into his hotdog and looked around, waiting for Arelie to pop out anytime.

He looked at the time on his phone.

3:47pm.

Does anyone really take thirty minutes to use the bathroom? It couldn’t be possible. But he didn’t want to jump to conclusions, but his emotions were over running everything else, making his reasoning hazy.

“Tori?” Trystan called, everyone turned their gaze to Trystan. Tori whipped her hands and waited.

“Yeah?” she asked.

“Can you see if there’s something wrong with Arelie? She left to go use the bathroom around half an hour ago, and I’m getting worried.” Trystan bit his lip nervously. Tori quickly nodded and went toward the bathrooms; Jasmine stood up and ran after her, before Carter could grab her.

“Sh*t!” Trystan growled. Ben was still out there, he was still a threat, he should’ve known! Goddamn his stupidity! He was not going to think negative thoughts, he couldn’t. He had to stay sane, who knows what he’d do if he lost it?

“Hey man, don’t worry . . . she’ll be there.” Trystan ignored Adam’s assurance. He couldn’t wait any longer, he had to go to her, something wasn’t right.

As he was about to head toward the bathrooms Tori and Jasmine came back, both girls looked freaked out.

“What? Where’s Arelie?” Trystan demanded. Jasmine shook her head and Tori just stood still. “Where-”

“Stop it,” Carter hissed. “You’ll scare them!”

Trystan clenched his fists as he watched Carter approach Jas and take a hold of her hand and pull her into his embrace, soothing her, calming her down so that she could get her senses.

“Jas, baby.” Carter addressed her softly, “What happened?”

Trystan was quickly loosing his impatience!

Where the Hell was Arelie?

He could remember the last time this happened, she ended up being at Tori’s house, but where would she go now? Last time she was mad? What was the reason this time? There couldn’t be any reason!

He wanted to howl with the frustration he felt at that moment. Arelie was out there somewhere.

“S-she’s not there . . . the sand . . . so much blood.” Tori whispered finally, Kyle took her in his arms but she remained unresponsive.

“WHERE IS ARELIE?!” Trystan finally roared.

“She’s gone!” Jasmine cried.

“Where? How?” Trystan bombarded Tori and Jasmine with questions.

“On our way to the bathroom . . . we stumbled into a small area of blood. We started to panic and ran to the bathroom, but Arelie wasn’t there. One girl was there . . . we asked her but she said no one had entered the bathroom in the past hour.” Jasmine explained.

“Oh God!” Trystan cried, “He took her . . .” Trystan whispered.

“Who took Arelie?” Carter asked, Daren and the rest of the boys perked. They noticed when their gang leader was disturbed.
