Kylie's POV:

My heart was beating rapidly as adrenaline pumped through my veins. I almost thought my heart would burst out of my chest and explode under the stress. Much like an animal on instinct, the only thing on my mind was protect, protect, protect. Early I found out all my friends have been taken by Collin. Holiday, Burnet, Della, Miranda, Lucas, and Derek. All taken during the night.

Fredericka just told me where to find him after running into her while ransacking Collins house. My mind was telling me that they were dead, that it was too late, but my heart was still holding on by a thread, grasping for anything.

Shadow falls has been my home, my ground stone. These past few months have been bearable due to the people I have met here. The family I have made.

And now, their lives are in danger.

After sprinting through the forest I came upon a old cabin which seemed decrepit and rundown. Fredericka was a mile behind me, struggling to keep up. Without a second glance I barreled into the front door.

Splinters scattered everywhere, creating a thick cloud upon which I could not see through. I raised my arm and ran through the dust.

Once through the cloud there upon the wall were my friends, chained up like trophies. None of them were stirring. The worst ran through my head. I quickly ran to Della and put my fingers to her neck. No, No, she can't be gone!

Tears ran down my cheeks as I searched for a pulse. Finally, there was a slight thump as her heart beat slowly.

I hastily scanned the wall checking all my friends. Della, Derek, Burnet, Lucas, Miranda, ... but no Holiday. Fear spiked down my spine. I heard a slight creaking in the other room.

"Wh.. what?", I hear someone croak. I spin around and see Della stirring. "Kylie? How did you get here?" I could tell by her tone she has been drugged.

"Della, I'll explain later. Right now I need to know where Holiday is!" A frown covered her face as Della spoke up. "Before Collin knocked us out I saw him carrying Holiday into the other room. She was also knocked out... Get me out of here! I need to help you!". Della was starting to squirm and rattle the chains.

At the thought of Della in the same room as Collin again shot my protector gear back into speed. "Sorry, Della. You'll forgive me later. I got to do this alone." Before she could respond I ran into the room down the hallway.

There were two doors. One on each side. One of that contains Holiday. Underneath one of the doors I saw a shadow. Without hesitation I kicked in the door.

There in the middle of the room I saw Collin holding a gun in his hand, and under his feet...Holiday. A bleeding, conscious Holiday.

"Kylie?", Her shock and horror captured on her face.
