Alexina POV


"Alex... Alex can you hear me?"

Bennett.

This has to be a dream. It has to be.

"Alex help- you're nearly there."

How can I hear him? Please tell me this is just because I'm asleep?

"Alex, if you can hear me, Lake Rivera is the key. Everything you need is there. Forget the book, the book is useless."

What? Ha, this has to be a joke.

My dead brother giving me advice, great.

"Lake Rivera Alex. You'll know what you need when you see it."


-----

Lake Rivera.

What a shit show.

Billy, Hudson and Connor stand beside me.

After the dream I had a few hours ago, I received a call from Connor, asking if I had the same one.

It turns out we all had the same contact with Bennett.

After such a great date with Grayson, I didn't think that this would be where my night ended up, but here we are.

Lake Rivera infront of us, in all its glory.

Billy headed over, dipping his hand in the water, the liquid disappeared and we all stood with our arms folded, our bodies and minds not prepared for what we're going to find.

"Prepare for the worst?" Hudson suggested and Connor nodded beside me.

"Should we call our par-"

"We're already here." Someone interrupted and Billy's father Sebastian placed an arm on Hudson's shoulder.

Our parents stood behind us, their bodies clearly tense at the situation we're in right now.

"This is fucking ridiculous." My father spat. "When I find out who is behind all this-"

"We know dad." I stopped him before heading off and trading carefully on the now damp mud.

I love my dad but I'm sick of hearing him repeat himself, its like the same song playing over and over again, there is only so much someone can take.

My eyes trailed along the floor, trying to see if there were anything that could give what were looking for away, something that stands out.

Connor walked with me, his body seeming a lot more tense than usual.

"Lexi?" Connor whispered.

"Hm?"

"Do you think Bennett is alive?" He asked and I froze in my spot.
