DISCLAIMER: I dont own anything.
*Fabian's POV*
I continued to stare at Nina as she kept looking down to the footprint and then back up at me.
"This, this can't be happening. How did the police not pick up on this?" Nina touched her palm to her forehead and looked at me with wide eyes.
"They were looking when the sun was setting, they probably couldn't see it! Now when false trails are placed, the culprit doesn't go straight back the other way," I pointed to fingers towards the opposite direction. "They usually pick another direction to make it harder to trace."
Nina looked at me with one eyebrow raised. "How do you know that?"
I felt my face get hot and I looked down to the ground. "Boy scouts." I looked back up at Nina who gave a little chuckle.
"You are too cute."
She came closer to me and the footprint as we examined the path that led into the taller grass. I'm not really sure what we were looking at on account that there were only a few footprints and no leads what-so-ever. I began to think that we were at another dead end when I realized something.
"Wait! Okay, so like I said, the person who made the false trail most likely didn't just go in the opposite direction. We're at the very edge of campus which is fenced off. And right there," I pointed east. "Is the other end. Right behind those trees, is the fence that connects to this one. This side of campus is pretty much rock and fence. So that means that whoever it was went west!"
Nina looked at me taking in everything I had just blurted out. After a few seconds, I could tell Nina was thinking. She was squinting and kind of pointed with her hands like she had a map on her eyeballs. All of a sudden, Nina looked at me with scared eyes. "West. Fabian, west is the house."
I immediately stiffened. I groaned slightly and ran my hand through my hair. "Please don't tell me you think that's where Amber is."
Nina looked at me and nodded sadly. "I didn't think I'd be going back to hell this soon. Let's go, I guess."
I grabbed Nina's wrist as she began to walk in the direction of the house. The house where she was forced to forget all about me. The house where I saved her. "Nina, we don't have to do this. We can just call the police and tell them."
She looked up at me with the most emotional eyes I had ever seen. It was like she was mentally preparing herself. "We have to do this on our own. Amber would do the exact same thing for me or you."
I looked her in the eye one more time. "Okay."
I grabbed Nina's hand and gave it a tight squeeze as we walked towards the direction of the house.
I could tell we were getting closer by the way the trees started looking. It was almost as if the forest knew what was going on beneath its tallest branches. There were no longer birds chirping and the sun made a hasty exit. A cold chill ran down my spine.
Nina, who had been quiet almost the entire time, spoke up. "We're here."
Just beyond the next row of trees stood the house. It looked just as it had the last time I saw it. Cold and uninviting.
Before we walked any farther, I looked at Nina. She nodded signifying she wasn't backing down. I could tell, even from the silence, that this was something she had to do.
"I need you to know that I am here for you one hundred and ten percent. If Amber is in there, we're getting her back. If Jason is with her, I've got that covered." I felt the inside of my jacket where I had been hiding something the entire time.
"I love you, Fabian." She reached for my face and kissed me.
"I love you too. Ready?"
A sturdy nod answered my question as we broke into a light jog towards the entrance. I reached for the handle and peered down the hallway. All clear. I signaled Nina to follow me into the house. I heard her whimper but then give me another nod.
I then walked towards the door where Nina had been on the table. Each step I took towards it felt like a million years. I couldn't reach it. Was it out of fear? Was it out of anxiety? Probably little of both. This was it. There was no turning back now.
I reached out for the door handle. It was like an icicle grasped in my hand. I turned it so slow that it wasn't moving at all. I heard ferocious typing coming from somewhere before I even had a chance to look through the crack. Low and behold, there was Amber, unconscious, laying on the exact same table as Nina had.
I immediately closed the door as quietly as I could, and looked at Nina.
"So?" She leaned towards me willing me to tell her.
My voice was nothing more than a whisper. "Amber is in there. She's unconscious and has a bunch of wires attached to her. And someone is typing on a computer in the corner. It has to be Jason."
Before she could say anything, I pulled my concealed surprise from my jacket. When I had the gun completely exposed, Nina gasped. I still didn't let her speak.
"Nina, listen to me very carefully. I'm going to open the door. You have to go directly to the machine and cut the power. Then I need you to come directly back to me and stand behind me. Okay?"
"Okay, are you rea-"
Before she had a chance to finish, I heard a voice from inside the room.
"Goodbye, Amber Millington."
At that moment, I bust open the door and cocked the gun, pointing it at Jason Winkler. The monitors went dead, and Jason went ballistic.
Oh no.
There it is! Look out for Chapter 22! (And I promise there will be a really cute proposal soooooon!)
