Zoey's P.O.V

I woke up with my head hurting. I observed my surroundings and notice I was in a room of a cabin.

I was laying on a small bed that probably hasn't been used for a while.

This room look like the cabin my parents and Davon's parents bought for us, including Kate, when we were kids. There was a built in closet in the right side of the room.

The door was on the wall adjacent to the closet. While the bed was near a large sliding windows covered with long dark green curtains. I couldn't imagine someone owning it right now since it has been forgotten.

I suddenly remembered I was with Kate and decided to get up and look for her.

Kate's P.O.V.

I was sitting on the bed in one of the rooms of our old cabin while staring out the window. The door was locked since I already checked.

Now I'll just have to wait for someone to find me. I wonder if Zoey was doing fine. The doorknob jiggled and I quickly stood up hoping it was Zoey.

The door opened and my body immediately relax, Zoey.

She walked towards me and gave me a hugged.

I hug her back relieved to see her, but I didn't say anything. She looked at me and said, "We have to escape." It was then I knew I couldn't say anything yet since there are bigger problems.
This place was familiar to us and we arrived at the main door immediately.

Suddenly we froze because we heard someone shouting from the basement. I looked over at Zoey, and she gave me a scared expression. "It could be Rose," she guessed, "We have to go downstairs."

I nod as my response and followed Zoey as she led the way to the basement. The door to the basement is located under the a rug at the kitchen. Our parents decided to make it hidden just in case of an emergency. I took off the rug and opened the square door.

We carefully climbed down the stairs and felt the cold air rush in. Our hairs on our arms started to stand up due to the uneasy feeling we felt.

It was so dark since it was probably night time already.

I'll go to the left side of the room and look for the lights.

I went to the right side and saw a human figure cradling herself, it was Rose.

I was about to walked to her when a cold hand suddenly grabbed my wrist and injected me with something.

Next thing I knew I was being tied up but I could barely keep myself awake.

-At the forest-

Third P.O.V.

The two detectives were following Davon in the forest since he knew a shortcut. The two adults argued about this plan but Mr. Beins gave in to the idea. It's been 15 minutes of walking in the cols, and they were getting tired.

"I thought this was a shortcut," complained Mr. Beins.

"It would take us a hour or walking if we followed the road. Be patient sir," Davon retorted back.

A shot gun rang out and all of them froze. Mr. Beins grabbed Davon by the shoulders and started running. Mrs. Huffman was behind trying to see where that gun fire rang out.

Another shot rang out and it sounded close.

The two men turned around to see the female detective's right side all bloody.

"RUN!" she screamed.

Her partner was having a hard time on making a decision, but Davon was quick to run far from the scene. "Shit, " he cursed, "I'll be right back and try to call for help." Those words weren't reassuring to hear since Mrs. Huffman was losing a lot of blood."Stop that boy. I'll be fine," she said, "I'll try to stop the bleeding for now to buy me some time."

Mr. Beins started chasing Davon, but he wasn't sure which direction the
boy went.

It was already dark and the detective wasn't familiar with this place.
