Hey everyone here is all of chapter 3. I wanna thank crazy4pearlandTDI for helping me get through my writer's block and came up with the whole ending idea. :] Make sure to read her story too. Ok so enjoy.

Duncan's perspective:

"Owen?" I questioned. I walked over to the bush and looked over. Izzy was on top of Owen with my backpack at their side. This was extremly akward…

"Hey…," Owen stammered.

I slowly walked around them and grabbed my backpack. Not saying a word I started to walk away.

"Nice seeing you!" Izzy screamed after me, "Now you come here," she whispered to Owen.

Sickening as it was it made me jealous. I wanted something like that with Courtney. You know making out in the bushes getting caught. Man where is she? I needed to find her before I fell apart. I looked at the sun, almost night. I had to move quicker if I was going to find her.

Courtney's perspective:

It was cold; almost dark. Everything looked so familiar to me. Which way had I started from? Moss grows on what side of the tree? I looked down at my clothes all ripped and torn, scratches all down my legs and arms. When was I going to get out of this torture? If I'd just payed attention more I wouldn't be lost. I would be by the pool… watching Duncan take his shirt off. WAIT WAIT! Did I just say that? Did those words escape my thoughts?

"I do miss him," I thought out load, "and I was mean to him this morning."

"Where do you think they went?" I heard Bridgette's voice off in the distance.

"I'm over here," I screamed, "Bridgette!"

The rustling of the bushes got louder and louder. Bridgette, followed by Geoff, emerged from the bushes.

"Courtney that you?" Bridgette asked.

I ran over and hugged her. I couldn't believe she found me. I was saved, at last.

Bridgette hugged me back hard. I pulled away looking her in the eyes.

"Where's Duncan?" I asked, starting to worry. "Bridgette is he with you?"

"Well actually," Bridgette started, "He was with us helping to find you…"

A smile crept across my face. Duncan went looking for me. He does care; I knew he wasn't bad.

"… and then we lost him. He just stormed off," Bridgette finished.

I woke up from my daydream to stare at Bridgette and Geoff. So they don't know where he is. Terror wiped across my face making me fall to my knees.

"You mean he's out there somewhere and he's alone," I stammered.

I sat down on the cold ground putting my head in my lap. Something small fell out of my pocket. I looked down and picked up the small object. I rubbed my thumb over the smooth surface tracing the edges. One salty tear slipped out of my eye onto the carved skull.

Bridgette's perspective:

I felt helpless as I watched Courtney cry. What couldI do to make her smile? Well finding Duncan would certainly do it. However I don't know where he is at the moment. I sat down next to Courtney smiling and rubbing her back.

"Everything will be okay, you'll see," I whispered in my best positive voice.

I looked over at Geoff hoping for some help. Geoff looked nervous and in a hurry to move it along. I gave him a pleading look hoping he would get the message that I needed his help, but all he did was point behind him towards the empty woods. A puzzled expression ran across my face. How was the woods going to help make Courtney feel better? Seeing my puzzled expression Geoff stood up and came over to Courtney and me.

"Hey maybe we should continuing walking and look for Duncan. He couldn't have gone that far," Geoff said looking clam and content as always. Nothing ever seemed to upset him; he was always in a good mood.

Courtney's crying calmed down to sniffles as she looked up at Geoff. Her eyes were red and swollen and tears streaked her face. Geoff stretched out his hand to Courtney, smiling. Courtney grabbed on leaning on him for support. Next Geoff put out his hand to me, his bright blue eyes sparkling. I quickly grabbed on smiling as he pulled me up onto my feet. The three of us starting walking towards the direction Geoff pointed in. Courtney walked ahead a little bit, still crying and holding onto the little skull carving. Suddenly I felt pain for her, I don't know what I would do if Geoff was lost in the woods. Geoff squeezed my hand gently smiling that million dollar smile.

"Noooo! It fell Geoff, Bridgette it fell!" Courtney screamed from ahead.

Quickly Geoff and I ran over to Courtney looking at the very steep hill, seeming to lead to nowhere. Courtney started to slowly climb down the cliff into the unknown.

"What are you doing, dude?" Geoff screamed, "You're going to fall."

Either Courtney didn't hear Geoff or she chose not to listen because the next step down she took caused her to slip. Quickly Geoff and I grabbed our hands out to reach her but it was too late. She was sliding down the cliff faster the further she went untill she was lost in the darkness. The only thing you could hear now was her scream.

Duncan's perspective:

CLUNK! Something hard hit me on the head. Loud curses erupted from my mouth as I bent down to pick up the object. The object was smooth with rudged edges and was in the shape of a skull. Wait this was the skull I gave Courtney, but what was it doing here?

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" a high pitched scream getting louder came from the cliff beside me.

Suddenly a body fell on top of me fighting to get up. I pulled her closer looking at her face. The one face I had been looking for found me first. I pulled her close and hugged her hard. She tried to pull away at first but quickly she gave up and relaxed into my embrace.

Hope you enjoyedd. Reviews are welcomee.
