NOAH'S POV

"What the hell do you mean there's something wrong with Alaina?" Gabby asks as I hold onto my burning collarbone. My vision blurs every couple of seconds and I try to focus on her small, round face.

"She's..." I mumble as my head begins pounding.

"Let's keep looking for her?" Ax whispers to me and I let out a shaky breath.

Where is she?!

Where the hell is she? She's in pain, I can feel it. It's like I have heartburn, but it's all over my body and it's set to level ten. The last time I felt like this was the day before she didn't come to school a couple weeks ago, the day before I went to her house and stayed the night.

But it's much worse. Much, much worse.

"Noah?" Gabby tugs on my hand and I look down at her with golden eyes. "She's probably fine!"

"No," I shake my head instantly and her face falls. "She's not fine. Where is she?" I ask softly and Moose turns back to us curiously. I keep my gaze on Gabby and her brows furrow nervously.

"Is she hurt?" She whispers.

My breath catches in my throat and Ax grabs onto my shoulder. It feels like all the air has been sucked out of my lungs and I'm about to die. His face contorts in confusion and he begins pulling me away from Gabby and Moose.

"Give us a sec," he tells Gabby and she lets go of my arm instantly. "Hey, hey!" He whispers to me and I look over at him with wide eyes. His suddenly turn yellow and so do mine, causing us both to look down at my arm and find the chain wrapped around my wrist burning brightly.

"Follow it."

ALAINA'S POV

A harsh pounding in my head causes me to open my eyes slowly, finding myself alone in a sea of dark. I cough quietly as I lean my head back and try to stand up, but I'm stuck.

Am I tied to a chair..?

"What the...hell..?" I whisper as I jerk my hands up, but they're tied behind my back. I look around the dark space for some source of light, and when I don't find one I begin panicking.

"Hello?" I yell.

There's no answer.

What the hell is happening?!

The pounding in my head increases as I begin struggling in the ties. "Hello?!" I shout nervously and I pull my arms up repeatedly to get them loose, but it doesn't help, it only cuts my wrists. "Let me out!"

Everything is still quiet.

My heart beats rapidly in my chest as I look around and my stomach clenches. My mind goes back to the haunted house, however long ago that was, and I remember the shadow.

"Hello?!" I shout again as my eyes begin filling with tears. The side of my head begins aching and I lean my head to the down so that it rests on my shoulder. After a second, I notice the strange scent of blood and it causes my eyes widen.

Am I bleeding?!

"Someone let me out of here!" I yell, throwing my head back and tugging arms again, only to just get more burns on my wrists. "Please!"

Wait, hold on a minute! Is this some type of Halloween prank?! Kidnapping a girl??? But, actually, why is this something Ax would definitely do? Maybe this is his doing.

I pull at the retrains again and let out a loud groan. "Let me out! Someone, anyone!"

"Be quiet."
