I quickly dry myself off. I bolt out of the bathroom. My friends already know about Gabby.

"Gabby knows the girls are missing! Why is she putting herself at risk of going missing, too?" Ariana yelled, with frustration. No one else needs to be disappearing! By the tone Ariana's using, I can tell she's really upset. Oh no. Wait a minute, I completely forgot...Gabby's Ariana's cousin! Great. My best friend, Ariana's cousin, and a twit that no one is related to are all lost in the woods. I hear frantic pounding at the door, and my heart leaps into my throat. Rita answers the door. Why on Earth? It's Anorian. She looks like she's been running, and on the verge of tears.

"What is it, Ann?" Rita asks.

"It's, G-Gabby! She ran into the woods!" Anorian said, between panting.

"I know. Why did she?" Rita asked, bringing Anorian inside.

"She went to go look for the girls."

"But we just searched this afternoon." Ariana said.

"I know, but she said that SHE wanted to be the heroine and find them first. She wanted to do it, late so that no one else would try to help. She didn't want them to be in the woods another night." We were all quiet for a while. Now someone else is missing.
