1. Prologue

-Prologue-

"Ryder, I'm home!" Cassie called out as she walked through the front door. There was no response. She dumped her stuff from her office at from the paper by the hall table and dropped her keys in the dish on the counter. "Ryder, you home?" Cassie called out again. Silence. She looked down the chilly hallway. There were no lights on. There was no unbelievably loud rock music blasting from behind the black bedroom door. Cassie shifted uncomfortably on the couch. There was something very wrong with this situation. Something, something was wrong. Cassie could feel it deep down in her gut. She got up from her spot on the couch and crept gingerly down the hallway towards the Ryder's bedroom. "I'm coming in, Ryder…" Cassie warned lightly. She was scared about what she might see. With a silently gust of wind as her only answer, Cassie crept into the bedroom.

She was greeted by the stares of rock posters plastered over the red walls around the bedroom. The bed was suspiciously made. She looked past the posters and the made up bed to dresser across the room. Ryder's music player was gone, but her cell phone was placed on top of a piece of paper flapping in the wind coming through an open window. Cassie was reluctant to open the letter, but she opened it anyway. Then out of nowhere she heard the front door slam shut and her car engine start up. Cassie ran out of the bedroom and to the front door. She got outside just in time to see Ryder driving off in her car.

"Dammit…" Cassie mumbled to herself. She shrugged and figured she would be gone for the night and went back inside. Cassie went back to the rom to turn out the lights and her gaze landed on the letter under her phone. Cassie thought to herself why in the world would a teenager leave their cellphone in the house if they were going out? She picked up the phone and opened the letter.

I've gone to find him. If you won't tell me who he is, I'll find out for myself.

-Ryder

"Shit…" Cassie cursed again staring down at the letter. This was bad. This was really really bad.
