The Skater Girls

Suspense

Danielle's P.O.V

"The car's empty," I said, peering into the glass.

"Shit," Hazel skated passed me and stopped at the large fence in front of us.

"Check the door," Hannah said, grabbing onto the handle and pulling it. "It's open." She climbed into the car, searching for something.

"Hannah, I don't know what you're looking for, but it can't be as important as Grace. If you're looking for Grace, she's not in there." I said, walking past her.

The door slammed shut and Hannah huffed. "Yeah, thanks for the heads up Dan, I really didn't realise the car was empty." Her voice was sharp and sarcastic.

"Anytime Hannah, anytime."

Hazel was trying to climb the fence, but failing miserably. She fell to the floor with a thud, and got up quickly to try again.

"Easy Hazel," Zoey said, coming up behind her. "You're gonna end up hurting yourself. We've already got two we need to worry about, please don't become the third.

Hazel climbed another inch on the fence, making groans as she used her hands to pull herself up. "Why is this so fucking hard?" She cried out in the middle of the night.

I chuckled and joined her, climbing upwards like I was a spider on the wall. "Because you're so fucking unfit!" I said, reaching the top of the fence and jumping down to the other side.

I smiled at Hazel through the holes in the fence, she looked like a squashed fly.

"Help me, Danielle." She whined.

"How the hell am I supposed to help you?"

"Get back over here and push me up," Hazel sounded desperate now.

"And ruin the moment of such an epic climb? No thanks." I started looking around, eyeing up the abandoned warehouse, its  gigantic size making me feel so small and spooked out.

"Should I go and check this place out, see if I can find Georgia an-."

"No!" Hazel cried, still struggling. "Wait for us."

I looked at Hazel, sighing. "Hazel, if I wait for you, Grace and Georgia will probably be dead by the time we get there. Dead as in...................................................................................................."

"Dead as in what, Danielle?"

...................................... "Dead as in silence."

Hazel huffed in agony. "I'm done with your games!"

Zoey came up behind Hazel and started helping her. "Here let me give you a push!" Within seconds Hazel went flying over the top of the fence, landing on the grass with an epic 'ooof' sound.

"Flipping hell Zoey, lay off the steroids will ya!" Hazel groaned with her head face down in the mud.

"Sorry," Zoey chuckled, climbing the fence and joining me and Hazel on the other side.

Hannah and Ellie stood facing us, their shoulders shivering slightly from the cold.

"We'll keep a look out, you three go and find Georgia and Grace," Ellie said.

"You just want to stay in the car, where it's warm!" I snapped.

Ellie faked a gasp, "we would do no such thing." She started jogging towards the passenger side. "See you in a bit, yeah? Please don't die, someone needs to find the keys so we can go home."

Georgia's P.O.V

"Hey piss head, wanna tell me what the fuck is going on?" Dean was the only one in the room with me, standing by the door like a cocky bodyguard.

He looked at me and then shrugged his shoulders, as if he didn't even know who I was.

"Dean. I will scream like there's no tomorrow, and when I'm out of this rope, I will strangle you till your fat heads pops! What. Is. Going. On?"

"I'd like to see you try," he scoffed.

I raised my eyebrow in disbelief. "Is this some fucking joke? What, one minute you're a skater boy who's shagging my best friend, and now you're a fucking kidnapper. You've been watching too much Netflix boy, cause the look doesn't suit you one bit."

I watched as his cheekbones flexed with annoyance. He began looking around the room, staring intensely at the walls around us. I followed his eyes, trying to see what he was seeing, but all I could see was tattered wallpaper and old marks.

When I looked back at him, he had one finger placed on his lips, ssssshing me. The other finger pointed to the walls again. What was he saying? That the walls were thin and someone could hear us? That someone was coming?

"I don't know what the fuck you're getti-...." and that's when I saw it, his fingers tracing the outline of a large scratch that had been etched into the wall in front of me. It was jagged and faint, but it couldn't be mistaken for anything else.

I gasped suddenly, and then looked over to the rest of the room, aware that I was staring back at the name of the enemy.

'A' I breathed out. "Fucking A."

Danielle's P.O.V

"This damn lock isn't budging!" I groaned in frustration for the last time. "You try." I moved to the right so that Hazel could have a go at opening the door.

"I don't think that's a good idea," Hazel started. "If we keep on trying to break in like this, someone might hear us."

"Then how do you suppose we get in?" Danielle said, annoyed that her plan wasn't going to work.

Zoey looked around the big warehouse walls. "How would Georgia have gotten in? Surely she'd leave a trail that we can find?" Zoey was talking out loud, eyeing the door like it was some kind of portal.

"Ooof!" I said, running up to the door and kicking it as hard as I could. A large rattle came from the inside and then stopped.

"There's something blocking the other side, that door isn't opening anytime soon," Hazel said.

"Ffs, Georgia. What are you doing going inside some warehouse anyway?" I moaned, crouching down on the floor.

I was about to throw a large rock at the wall when the door started rattling again. When it didn't stop me, Hazel and Zoey placed our backs towards the wall on the right hand side of the door, ready to kick ass if it opened.

"Sssssh, on the count of three, we fight." I whispered to the girls, the noise of the door covering my voice.

"Danielle, what if on the count of three the door still doesn't open? Do we fight the wall?" Hazel said, mocking my plan once again.  

"Ssssssssssshhhhhhhhhshshshshshshshsh!" I put my finger up in the air, silencing her. "This is do or die, Hazel. This isn't funny."

Hazel was about to say something else, but the large door creaked open and stopped her.

I tensed, and was about to execute some Karate Kid skills on the bitch that stood out...

I mean some proper, skills.

But then Grace stepped out, her face lit up with a broken torch light that kept glitching every two seconds.

"For fuck sake, Grace. You scared the life out of me."
I said, placing my hand on my chest.

Grace's face wasn't right, and her hands were shaking uncontrollably.

"Guys, you need to come and see this. It's not good," she said.
