On a crisp, fall morning, Valerie Rossi is stopped by a stranger, asking if she's Valentina Moreno--a child who went missing in Yosemite National Park twenty years ago. 

Curious, Valerie's friend Julian looks up the age progression photo recently shown in the news, and the uncanny resemblance is too much to ignore. Especially because of the reoccurring dream Valerie has of a shadow snatching her in the night.

Suddenly, something doesn't feel right, so she digs for answers by turning to the one person she might not be able to trust: her father.

The Bad Boy's Sleepover by SoniaJohn

Highest rank: 4 in #Teen Three best friends, one bad boy on the run from the police and the 'killer' sleepover none of them saw coming. *** The whole town wasn't surprised when Julian Grey was charged and then sentenced for the murders of his two schoolmates. After all he was the resident bad boy - smoking in hallways, regular detention, always getting into fights. But no one expected the van taking him to prison to crash, allowing him to escape. On a night when most of her schoolmates were partying, uninvited and unpopular Lola was busy minding her own business, watching her favourite kdrama when Julian broke into her not so secure room, claimed that he's been framed and begged her to hide him from the police. With someone's life now on her hands, Lola must decide if this is a risk worth taking. Should she help Julian or will this sleepover turn out to be a deadly one? 3rd place in the Seasonal Contests Teen fic genre :)
