Chapter 9
Stephanie sat outside on some steps looking into the forest, she squinted her eyes thinking she saw something or someone. She stood up following it into the forest. She continued into the forest it then turned into a jog and then a run not even caring about what her father had said to her about never making it. Where would she go anyway? She looked around in the dark forest looking up spotting a cliff. She continued to run up towards it.
Peter and David had all the cliffhangers looking for her, Sophie had called Scott and Shelby, and Scott was on his way.
"She's her father's daughter for sure. Fast runner." Peter commented to David and Sophie "Did you call Gracie?"
Sophie nodded "Yeah she's on her way to look for her."
David spoke up "Okay didn't Scott run into town the first time he ran? Maybe she's on her way there."
"I'm not sure but it wouldn't hurt to look everywhere." He rounded up a few groups. Scott showed up getting out of the car jogging over to Peter. "Where is she?"
"We don't know yet Scott, it's dark but Gracie has people out looking and I'm rounding up the cliffhangers to go look for her, even though I'm breaking my own rules." Even though it wasn't that dark out, it was getting there.
"I'm going too." He said Peter knew not to argue with him in this case. "Okay you take Jamal and Ryan." He told him.
Scott looked at whom he pointed to "Come on." They got their stuff and left with him flashlights in hands.
Peter watched them go looking back to the remaining "Okay Clyde and Wendy go with David, Rebecca you and Troy with me." They all headed out.
Stephanie saw a small clearing she was almost up to the cliff but wanted to rest a bit. She sat on a log looking around a bit she spotted someone across her in the middle of the clearing watching her. Squinting her eyes smiling and jumping up running into the clearing dancing around. She then finished dancing noticing no one there again she kneeled down and started sobbing.
Scott, Ryan and Jamal were looking around. Scott was screaming "Stephanie!" over and over. Jamal came walking up to him he looked at him "Any sign?"
Jamal just shook his head Ryan caught up with them "Nothing." They continued to look. Ryan spoke up,
"Is it true you used to go here?" he asked.
Scott nodded "Yeah, this is where I met Stephanie's mom too."
"So it's like a family thing, you guys came here you want your kids to come here." Ryan said Jamal butted in.
"Hey leave him alone man I don't think he wants to listen to your mouth right now." Ryan got up in his face.
"Make me." Scott turned around "Hey! That's enough both of you. Ryan it's not just some family tradition, Stephanie is sick and we brought her here to get her help." He said turning around walking again remembering something speaking up again. "Hey guys, do either of you know the difference between nature and human nature?" he glanced back at them.
They both shook their heads, he could help but chuckle slightly as they walked and looked around. They were so much like him and Auggie at one time.
"Nature goes on all around you, but human nature goes on within you…Peter taught me that once when I first came here. He also taught me that Horizon helps finds the lost kids out there, Stephanie is one of those kids, and she is on a suicide mission that's why it's so important we find her soon." The boys both nodded their heads letting it sink in while they continued looking.
Shelby couldn't handle just waiting at home in that case she got Sam in a taxi and drove up to Horizon as fast as she could. She got out of the cab with Sam paying the driver real quick and ran up to the school. "Come on hun."
Running over to where she saw Sophie standing and waiting "Sophie!" they hugged "What are you doing here? I thought only Scott was coming?"
"He doesn't know I came, where is he?"
'Almost there' she thought to herself. Steph had finally got to the top of the cliff and was just looking down, she was afraid to say the least. She leaned her foot out but then felt a breeze and stopped pulling her foot back. Her tears from earlier came back remembering the dreams of Billy. She spoke to herself softly "I'll try Billy!" She then turned and stepped back but the ground fell from under her, she screamed grabbing onto something.
~*~On the next 'For Dear Life'~*~
The three guys heard a scream and started running towards it...Stephanie was crying hysterically "Daddy, please help me!"
"What happened to my little girl Peter? I hate seeing how she hurts and I don't know what to do to help her." Shelby cried.
"What I've heard them say is that they think Stephanie is going to get extra special attention because of you. But that is going to be taken care of soon enough." David stated.
