Okay, so I've got the next chapter up and written, and decided to post it, even though I don't think anyone has even read the first chapter. But for everyone that did, thanks a lot! And please review! I hope you enjoy the story, and keep reading! Let me know if there is anything I need to change, like punctuation or misspellings. Thanks a lot! :)
Everything Changes
"Wakey, wakey babe! It's time to get up. Come on." Heo said, shaking Sapphire's shoulder. She groaned, pushed him away and rolled over, her eyes still closed. "Babe, seriously. It's time to get up." He pulled the covers off their bed and grabbed her by the ankles, then dragged her off the bed.
"Ugh, I'm up! I'm up! Let go of my ankles!" she scowled at him, making him smile. She ran a hand through her tousled, dark hair. "What time is it?"
"Almost noon."
"Agh! Why did you let me sleep in so late? I was supposed to get breakfast going!" She scrambled around the room, trying to find an outfit to wear.
"Well, I figured that, since you, Sorinella and I were up late fighting those Ghouls, you deserved to sleep in. You shouldn't have to worry about it so much." He walked over to her and hugged her, making her stop her scrambling.
"Awh, thanks. I just… I feel like a mother to the group."
"I know. But sometimes you need to just let some of the responsibilities that you have go. Let someone else take them for once."
"You know me. That's just hard." Sapphire leaned against Heo. He chuckled softly.
"I bet his thing is hard too!" Remington laughed, standing in the doorway. Sapphire and Heo jumped away from each other, startled.
"Remington! Get out!" Heo snapped, even though he was laughing.
Sapphire, however, was a different story. She fainted, falling to the ground with a soft thud. Heo sighed, and Remington couldn't stop laughing.
"Dude, what the hell? You know she gets scared easily! And when she gets too scared too quick, she passes out!" He walked to Sapphire's side and knelt next to her.
"Hey, it ain't my fault! She is how she is!" Remington shot back defensively.
"What do you want anyways, Rem?" He pulled Sapphire into his lap and made sure she was alright.
"Kenzie and Sorinella have come back, but Seth and Nathan haven't. The girls said they split up to search the houses, and never saw them again. They've been gone for over an hour."
"What? They shouldn't have split up in the first place!" Heo exclaimed, looking at Remington in alarm.
"They know that, and said that it was the other twos' fault! They didn't want to, but the guys just left!" Remington ran a hand through his normally spiky hair, messing it up, a worried look on his face.
Sapphire stirred, groaning softly. Her blue eyes opened slowly, and she looked up at Heo. Letting her sit up slowly, he stroked her cheek.
"Are you okay now, sweetie?" He asked, his voice laced with worry. Instantly, Sapphire picked up on it, and her eyes widened.
"Uhm… nothing, babe. Nothing happened." Heo lied, trying to make her calm again. She just shook her head.
"No, something did happen. What is it?" She stared at the guys, her eyes nervous. "I know when youre lying! What happened?" She was getting more and more nervous as the time passed. Heo sighed.
"While looking for some type of animal or food to pick up or hunt, Sorinella and Kenzie ended up splitting up with Nathan and Seth, and the guys aren't back yet. They've been gone for over an hour, and we have no idea where they are."
Sapphire gasped. Everyone knew that Seth was like a little brother to her. And Nathan had become a really good friend of hers.
"No… You can't be serious…" Tears formed in her crystal blue eyes. Heo pulled her into his arms, and she buried her head into his warm chest, tears making his shirt wet.
"We'll find them, babe. We will find them. They're our family." He whispered, pressing his cheek against her soft, dark hair.
"Seth, where are you? Seth? Seth!" Nathan shouted, feeling around in the dark.
"Nathan? Is that you?" A soft voice called back, seeming far away. "Where are you?"
"I don't know… Somewhere in the dark!"
"Same here! What happened?"
"I have no idea! All I remember is—" A hiss interrupted him.
"Oh god, what is—!" Seth's voice was cut off.
