A/N- Please review, i really really hope that you enjoy this chapter :)

Lindsay frantically searched for her fathers phone. She had never wished for anything more than for this nightmare to end. Rachel was waiting patiently on the other end of the line, hoping for the best to turn out. The office was silent, Emily and Marion just held eachother

"Miss! I found the phone!" Lindsay smiled for the first time in months, she searched through the phone.

"Is there GPS on it Lindsay?" Rachel asked. "Lindsay? Sweetheart are you there?"

"Miss, it hasnt got it! What do i do?" Lindsay asked, tears fell from her eyes like a waterfall.

Rachel sat in deep thought about what to do, the colour drained from her face. For a moment, she had hope, but now.. she just felt empty. Rachel snapped back into reality. "There isnt GPS on her phone.." Rachel explained.

"But! What about Lindsay?!How are we going to find her?" Emily shouted.

"Has she got her phone?" Marion asked, her voice betrayed the fact she was breaking down. Truth was, she was being torn apart inside, the moment she got her daughter back, she gets taken away again.

Rachel stood up from her seat, she began pacing up and down the office, the phone to her ear. "Lindsay, have you got your phone?" Rachel asked. No reply. "Lindsay? Love talk to me?.. are you there?" Rachel asked, the deadly silence filled the room.

Lindsay ran out the house, she just kept running. Stabbing pains shot through her legs, the ground cut her bare feet. Lindsay had tears streaming down her face, her breathing heavy. She kept running along the road which seemed to never end. thoughts flahsed through her mind.

Was she ever gonna get home?

How on eart could she lve with herself, knowing that her father could be hunting down Emily right now..

Was mum going to be okay?

OFFICE

"She isnt answering anymore.." Rachel said. Emily ran out the room, only to have Rachel and Marion follow.

"EMILY!" Rachel called after her, Marion carried on running. She couldnt lose another daughter.

"We have to find her! We cannot sit around and do NOTHING!" Emily told them.

"Okay, we will start looking for her again. Come on, my car. I'm sure that Kim can keep Max in line looking after the school.." Rachel grabbed her car keys from her pocket. They started driving. Rachel had no idea where she was going, all she knew that it was off the motorway somewhere.

They came across a forest, a long river ran beside it. A long road infront of an old looking house. Rachel decided to take a chance.

They pulled up at the house. Rachel took in the area around her. Solitary. Noone around. They walked inside the house. A terrible odour filled the air around them. An old phone hanging from the cord, and a bowl disposed on the cabinet. Rachel put the phone to her ear.

"Hello?" Rachel said, when she heard a noise from her phone. She gave the phone to Emily, and asked her to listen.

"Can you hear me?" Rachel asked, only to have Emily light up.

"LINDSAY WAS HERE!" Emily said, "Miss, she was here, i can hear you on the phone." Emily said, she couldnt believe it, they were on track to finding her.

Rachel started running around the house, hoping to find Lindsay. The state of each room was appauling, Rachel couldnt believe Lindsay was even alive. Emily started looking around each room aswell,. Marion just stood there, staring at the circumstances her daughter faced alone.

Rachel came to a room upstairs, a matress lay in the corner of the room, It was empty, mouldy. Rachel was just about to leave, when something caught her eye, she walked towards it. Only to see what it was. She picked them up, and made her way downstairs, to find Marion sitting on a chair crying. Emily had just come running into the room.

"I cant find her.. she isn't he-" Emily stopped when she saw what Miss Mason was holding.

"I found this in what i think may have been her bedroom" Rachel held the scruffy school tie and cardigan in her hand.

Marion grabbed the tie and cardiagn in her hand. She felt closer to Lindsay now.

They went into the car, and started slowly driving along lanes. Hoping to find Lindsay somewhere.

LINDSAY POV

I kept running, i had no idea where i was going i didnt know what i was going to do. The skies started to cry, along with myself. I caught the tear drops in my hand. I had no more hope. I came across a bridge. It looked old, like it hadnt been used in years. I tread carefully along each plank off wood below my feet. I was right near the end. Tat was when.. I fell.

EVERYONE POV

"She has to be around here somewhere.. the phone call wasnt too long ago she will be around here somewhere." Rachel told them.

"What if she isnt? What if she is lying de-" Emily said, tears had approached her eyes.

"Dont even go there, she wont be" Rachel told her firmly. Marion just sat there, staring out the window. They approached a nearby river, Rachel didnt want to tell them why, but all she told them was she was going to look in the river.. just incase what Em said was true..

She begn to walk up the river, when she saw a body struggling in the water. They sank down under the water, only to come up again screaming. Rachel recognised the figure immediately. They were seperated from society, no-one could help her.

"Lindsay!" She screamed, she ran down the small hill, she dived into the water.

"Miss! Please help me! please! please! Lindsay screamed. Rachel managed to grab hold of the girl.

Rachel grabbed hold of a rock, water gushed passed them, Lindsay shivered in her teachers arms.

"M-Miss?" lindsay said, she was shaking violently. Marion and Emily had both heard the screams.

"Stay there!" Marion assured her daughter, Emily stood there, watching. Marion slowly made her way down the hill to approach Lindsay and Rachel.

Rachel stuck her hand out, Marion took hold of it.

"Lindsay, come on your going to go with your mum now" Rachel said, she turned to face the girl in her arms. "Lindsay?" She asked, the girls eyes were closed. Lindsay ws now unconscious. They managed to get Lindsay out. Marion lay Lindsay at the top of the hill. She then helped Rachel as she clambered out the river.

"Theres a blanket in the boot, go and get it. Emily in the car. Now." Rachel took the lifeless girl in her arms.

Marion started driving, hoping she would find a hospital soon, Em sat in the front with her mother. Rachel wrapped herself and Lindsay in the blanket. Rachel started to check the pulse of Lindsay, she noticied it was extremley weak, only now could she really examine Lindsay. She noticied the girl was clearly starved, dark bags under her eyes were visible.

How on earth did she go through this alone? Rachel thought to herself.
