Chapter 21!
(Oh and Idk why the first paragraph has smaller font. Unless it doesn't when I post it but if it does...)
Hayley woke up the next morning to see a note under her door. She ran out of her bed and picked up the note. Then she read it and gasped. She ran out of her room and started knocking frantically on Phoenix's door. She could hear him groan, but she kept knocking. Finally, Phoenix came to the door.
"What." he asked angrily.
"Annabelle...She's gone...She left a note-"
"What!?"
Phoenix came out of his room and went over to Annabelle's door. He opened the door and saw that no one was there.
"Annabelle?" he asked, just to make sure.
No one replied.
"Phoenix, what do we do?" Hayley asked."
At first, Phoenix didn't reply.
"Phoenix?"
"Let me see the note."
Hayley passed him the slip of paper and he read it.
"This...This has something to do with Jay."
"So this means Annabelle remembers Jay?"
"Yes, but it also means she feels guilty. She let him go not knowing about their relationship, and now that she does, she doesn't know how to get him back."
"So...where do you think she is?"
Phoenix shakes his head. "I haven't the slightest clue."
"I wonder if there's any possible way to find them..."
"I don't know."
"All we need to do right now is tell Elizabeth, Jack, and Will that Annabelle is missing."
"Okay. After that?"
"Haven't got a clue, but at least we have a start!"
Hayley smiles and gives Phoenix a peck on the cheek. "Better than nothing."
Phoenix smiles. "Step one: Tell Mom, Dad, and Jack."
Hayley smiles back. "I'll tell Jack. You can tell your parents."
"Okay."
Phoenix and Hayley both exit the room.
Phoenix knocks on his parents' door. "It's me," he says.
"Just a minute!" Elizabeth calls from inside.
She finally opens the door. "What is it?"
Phoenix takes a deep breath. "Annabelle is missing."
"She's what?"
"She's missing. Hayley and I think that she went after Jay after she got her memories of him back."
"She got her memories of him back?"
"It's just a theory."
"How-"
"She left a note."
"Oh. Can you show us the note?"
"Sure."
Phoenix takes the note out of his pocket and hands it to her. She reads it with a look of worry on her face. When she's done, she walks over to Will.
"Will? Will, wake up."
Will opens his eyes. "What is is?"
Elizabeth hands him the note. He reads it and his eyes widen. He bolts out of his bed.
"This is bad… This is very very bad. Now we have absolutely no idea where she is."
Elizabeth frowns.
"Is there any way we could find her?" Phoenix asked.
"We could try looking, but there is barely a slight chance we would find her. There isn't a lot in this note."
Phoenix sighs.
"What if we don't find her?" He asks.
Will looked away. We have to find her, he thought.
Annabelle pulled the boat through the water. She looked up and saw that the sky was turning gray. She looked ahead and saw an island in the distance. This has to be it, she thought. She tried to pull the boat faster toward the island. Finally she pulled up to the shore. She looked to the left and could see the storm that had once stopped them. She started walking around the island in search of the sorceress. The day eventually grew dark. She lay in the sand and started to fall asleep.
When she woke up, she looked for the bag she had packed. It's gone! She frantically looked around for her bag, but she saw no sign of it. I'm not that hungry anyway, she told herself, even though she hadn't eaten since the time she left the boat. She acted as though she was fine, but she knew she would need her bag later. She spend the rest of the day searching and searching for the sorceress, but her lair must have been magically concealed. The day went by quickly, and soon enough, she found herself curled up again in the sand.
In the morning, she was hungry. But she urged herself on. Then she dared to go into the forest where her and Jay had met Lily. Suddenly, she heard a woman's voice.
"Are you lost?"
Annabelle spun around to face the noise. She saw a woman with long hair and a used-but-not-in-bad-shape dress. Remembering to be cautious, Annabelle asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Christina. I've been on this island for a month now. The evil sorceress and her demonic child stole my boat."
"They stole mine too! And my supplies."
"I found a secret pantry underground that is stuffed with food! Would you like me to take you there?"
"Yes please!"
The woman led Annabelle to a place in between two trees. A rock was in the middle. Christina pushed the rock aside, then opened the trap door that was underneath. She climbed in, and motioned for Annabelle to follow.
"Would you like something to eat?" Christina asked.
Annabelle nodded. Christina came back five minutes later with some bread.
"Thank you!" Annabelle said. She began to eat her bread.
"Something to drink as well?" Christina asked.
"Yes, thank you."
Christina came back with a bottle full of water. "Here you are."
Annabelle thanked her again and took a sip. It didn't taste like water.
"What-?"
Christina smiled and her appearance flickered.
Then Annabelle realized. "It's poison."
Christina smiled even more, then turned into Lily. Annabelle got up to leave, and got to the stairs before she slumped to the ground. Lily picked up her limp body to carry Annabelle to her mother's lair.
