The hollow

Chapter 15

A/N oh my god guys! Guess what we just hit that's right 300 reads I can't even believe it it's the most reads I have gotten and I know it doesn't seem like a lot but too me it really is. So because of this huge amount we are going do another update enjoy!

Soon Steven and I were eating cereal in silence. There was nothing to talk about you can't hang out with your friends when one of them is missing. Soon I got a nock on the door and Layla came rushing in. "We already know" I said sighing. She nodded her head and took a seat next to me. Her eyes were red and puffy so I could tell she had been crying. Just when Layla looked like she was about to say something the phone started ringing. O got up and rushed to it hoping it was some sorta news about Tess. "Hello?" I said into the phone but no body answered. "Hello?" I said again and then there was more silence until whoever it was hung up.

"Who was that?" Steven said. "I don't know nobody answered" I said shrugging, "Alex what if it was..." I shook my head, "why would they even do that it was probably just a prank call ok?" I said. He nodded I didn't want to overthink the call I was paranoid enough as it is.

"So do you know where she is?" I asked I was sitting in the police station with Layla, Steven, James and Tess's mom. "All we know is that someone saw a young girl being forcefully pulled away down the street by a young man around your age" he said. "Our age!" Layla exclaimed. The man nodded. I looked at Steven and James to see there eyes were just as wide as ours, "do you have any idea where she could be at all?" I said again. "I'm sorry that's all the information I have" he said sighing "I'll keep you all updated" he said and we all got up to walk out of the room. "Do you really think the killer is our age?" I whispered to Steven. "I don't know but I hope not" he said.

Soon we were all at Stevens house talking. "I think it's time we tell the police Tess is missing guys this is getting worse and worse" Layla said. "I know but what if we tell them and we never get Tess back? What will happen then!" I started yelling now my face felt hot. "Guys we half to calm down and just try to find her ourselves" James said, I turned and looked at him and finally nodded. "We can't tell the police" he said. We all finally agreed.

I looked over to Stevens window and saw that it was open. I slowly walked over to it where there was a small box. I picked it up. "Guys I think we got another 'gift'" I said. Just then James came in from the bathroom and his eyes grew wide once he saw the box. We all crowded around it and I opened the box. "OH MY GOD!" I screamed. Layla started sobbing and Steven and James yelled at the top if there lungs. Inside the box was a finger but not just any finger it belonged to Tess.
