"We NEED to find her and quickly"

"We are TRYING our hardest, she just keeps moving!"

"SHUT UP I'M TRYING TO CONCENTRATE!"

"WELL YOU'RE NOT CONCENTRATING HARD ENOUGH!"

The group shouted over one another. Each insult more louder than the last.
Screaming was heard through the woods. It was rough enough to not be shouts. It was higher not to be calling.

A slit neck and wrists silenced the group of two and a hush fell over the endless plains. Blood was splattered all over the camping grounds. A friend had murdered his own sister, he decided to cure his pain by taking her lighter and running.

















"Wow, amazing" Steven rolled his eyes sarcastically.
"It's not a story! It happened!" Claudia corrected him,
"She's right you idiot but still" Kaitlyn sighed while standing her ground.
"Ugh, it's all going to my head a little too much" Claudia said, her head resting in her arms on top the kitchen counter.

Ever since she had visited the castle her body has been out of control. Pains torment her stomach and headaches and fainting spells have haunted her for weeks. She knew her body was just over reacting. Scarlet thought otherwise though. An idea struck to her head as she remembered.

'Wait... Molly never told me about those markings on her... I wonder if-'

Claudia's thoughts were interrupted as Kaitlyn called over her shoulder.
"Think I can have some food?"
"Can't you afford your own?"
"Can't you afford to get your own apartment instead of staying with your girlfriend 24/7?"
"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND KAITLYN!"
"Sure she isn't" Kaitlyn sent a wink to Claudia as she just put her head back on the table as she muffled small words that got Kaitlyn up and moving to make some food.

Nausea and dizziness circled Claudia's vision and she wanted to throw up as quickly and soon as possible. She wanted this to end. Her stomach felt fine thanks to her younger sister. She couldn't stop thinking about Molly.

Also the memory of Lizzie sprang to her head. She wondered what happened to them. Ellis too, she had sent a letter messaging her, but she hadn't heard back from her.

"Hey Steven" Claudia muttered,
"Yeah?"
"What happened to Lizzie?"
"No clue, my idiotic sister is probably fine though, won't be surprised if she got herself killed."
"STEVEN!" She shouted, Kaitlyn followed Steven and started laughing.

















A loud sound of ringing bells and alarms sounded outside as the three's attention turned towards the balcony,
"FIRE! FIRE!"
"IT'S COMING FROM THE FOREST!"
"BUT THE POLICE INVESTIGATION FOR THE MURDER!?"
"FIRE!!!!!"
"BUT-"
"WE GOTTA GO!"
