-Caylus' Point of View-

I wake up at five in the morning even though I set my alarm for 9am. Damn it. I get out of bed and grab the clothes that I'm gonna wear today. I get in the shower then put some shorts on. (He's not wearing a shirt.) I wonder if Nick's awake. I slowly open my bedroom door and walk out. I notice that Kasey's door is halfway open and I take a tiny peek inside. She's just sleeping. I turn around and see that Nick's door is open. I slowly walk in and see that he has his earbuds in. I think he's watching a movie. "Nick." I whisper. He turns off his phone and takes his earbuds out. "What are you doing?" "I woke up four hours early." I say quietly. "I did too." He whispers. "So what do you want to do?" I ask. "What if we try to look her up on the internet?" "What if there's nothing there?" "But what if there is?" Nick says with suspicion in his voice. Did he already find something? "What are you saying?" "There's a million reasons on why Kasey would have those scars, what if the reason she has them is on the internet?" He asks. That's actually a good idea. "So do we just go on google and search her name? That seems too easy." "It does, but I have a feeling we'll find something." He says. I shrug. "Well do we do it on our phones or on the computers, cause what if someone sees us." I say. "Get your laptop and then come back here. We'll do it together, that way it goes faster." I nod and run to my room. I grab my laptop and go back to Nick's room. After I log in I hear a girl screaming and look at Nick. "Is that Kasey screaming?" We shut our laptops and run across the hall to Kasey's room. I think she's having a bad dream. "Are we supposed to wake her up?" Nick asks. Tal sleeps downstairs, so I don't think he can hear her, and Adi's a deep sleeper so I don't think he hears this either. I sigh and run my hand through my hair. "What do we do?" Nick asks and looks at me. "I don't know." I say. Nick runs out of the room and runs downstairs. I think he's getting Tal. After what feels like two minutes, I hear footsteps run up the stairs. Tal runs into the room and sits on the edge of Kasey's bed. "Why didn't y'all wake her up?" Tal asks. "I don't think you're supposed to wake someone up when they're having a nightmare." I say. "I'm still gonna wake her up." He says. By now, Kasey stopped screaming. She's just silently crying. "How are you gonna manage to do that?" Nick asks. "Spray her with water?" I don't think that's a good idea. I look at Kasey and it looks like she's calming down. Maybe her dream is ending. "Guys look." I say while pointing at her. The rest of the guys look at her and Tal starts to relax. "Okay good, she calmed down." He says quietly. "So can we go back to bed now?" Nick asks. We weren't sleeping though. "Yeah, let me know if anything else happens." Tal says and walks out of the room. "Okay, let's get back to researching."

What will they find? Who knows.
