Everyone started franticly looking around. "Cat!" Tori was the first to yell it. Then the same thing was repeated by a few other concerned teenagers. They tried finding her, calling her, and even tried to see if they could hear her. Nothing worked, and it was long before the power went out again.
"Maybe she just got scared and ran off." Andre tried to stay positive and earned a sneer from Rex.
"Yeah, or somebody took her."
Robbie started shrugging his shoulders. "But who would take Cat?" He was clearly worried, and trying his best not to agree with Rex.
"It does make sense. For all we know, someone killed the lights and someone else took Cat away. But why?" Tori looked around, flashing the in every direction. "Cat!" This time she sounded terrified.
Beck tried keeping everyone calm. "Okay, let's just calm down. If we can't find Cat in the next hour, we will call the police." He ran his hand through his hair and grabbed his Pear phone. "Now everyone, turn your flashlight app on and split up into pairs. That way if someone did talk Cat and are still here, we have a better chance."
Everyone did as told. Even Trina pitched in to help. Andre and Tori were group A, Beck and Jade were group B, and Robbie and trina were group C. "Now if anyone finds her, text the rest of us." Tori spoke, which annoyed Jade. She was trying to be the leader of the search party.
"Whatever." Rolling her eyes, Jade dragged Beck to the direction of Sikowitz room. The teachers were around, telling students there would be no more classes. None of the kids wanted to tell the adults Cat was gone. Just incase she was just hiding.
"I wonder where she is..." Jade sounded distant and confused.
"Don't worry, we will find her." Beck placed his arm around her and pulled Jade in for a hug. "I know how much she means to you, and we are going to do our best until we get her."
Jade softly kissed Beck on the cheek before turned to search for her red haired friend. An hour had passed, and there was no luck. They tried calling Cat, no answer, they called her house, no answer. Heck, Beck even drove Jade so see if Cat was home. Again, nothing.
"Okay, I really think we should call the police." Andre put his hands to his head when Jade told them what she found. He clearly was on the verge of a panic attack.
"I think that might be best." Tori pulled her phone out and dialed for the police. "Hello, I would like to report a missing person. Her name is Cat Valentine. She went missing at Hollywodd Arts high school around an hour ago...okay...okay...okay, see you then. Bye." Tori pulled the phone away from her head and hung up. "They said they will be here as soon as they can." Just then, the power came on. Somehow there was a note on Beck's locker that everyone missed before. "Hey Beck, what's that?" Tori pointed to the note.
Walking over, Beck grabbed it and read aloud. "The girl is gone. I have been planning this for awhile, I'm sick of these secrets and I want answers. You know who I'm talking about. When everything in revealed, only then will Cat be let go." Beck turned the note over. It was printed in some fancy font. On the back there was something else. "Ps., I am one of you."
Everyone looked at each other worried. "One of us?" Robbie took a step forward to reread the note. "What does that mean?"
"Probably someone from Hollywood Arts." Andre sighed and told Beck not to let anyone else touch the paper. "Maybe the police can get fingerprints or something."
"Maybe.." Beck placed the locker back in his locker until the police arrived.
When they did arrive, after twenty five minutes, they started asking a lot of questions. One by one all of the teenagers and teachers that reminded in the build were interviewed. When it was Beck's turn, he told them about the paper and gave it to them. They thanked him and continued on.
There was a German Shepard sniffing around the area, but the rain had washed any sent away. "You guys can go home for now... When we find anything, we will call you." A female was going from person to person to tell then that.
Everyone mumbled and slowly shuffled their way out. They knew that she really meant that they should get out so they can continue their search and a bunch of teenagers couldn't really be a help.
Jade and Beck piled in his truck. "My house or yours?" The dark haired boy looked to his girlfriend.
"Mine." Jade closed her eyes without saying anymore.
"Okay." Beck started to drive to Jade's house. No one was there. Jade and Beck entered and went to the kitchen. They were hungry, so Beck made some pasta and salad. He saw Jade's blue eyes full of sadness and anger. Beck sat down closer to her. "Don't worry. She will be fine. Whoever has her can't hurt her. Cat is too... well she's her. It's hard to want to hurt her."
Jade nodded and sighed. Beck got back up and placed to food in front of Jade. She started stabbing the salad and ate slowly. "Yeah..."
Beck looked at his phone. "Hey, I have to go. Do you think you will be fine?"
"Yeah." Jade nodded her head and stood up. She walked to the door with Beck and they kissed. "Bye."
"Bye." Beck shut the door and left Jade alone. Sort of. Jade hadn't even finished her food, but she walked up the stairs and into an abandoned room. She opened the door the be in a sea green colored empty room. Such a waste. Not stopping, Jade went to a closed door and opened it up. It was a walk in closet filled with boxed. She moved then around until she saw a flash of red. She smiled. "Hello Cat."
