Bradin looked at Kaitlin and saw her crying. "Don't," he said wrapping his arms around her, "Don't. If you cry, you're giving up hope on finding her. That is the last thing that you want to do, knowing you."
She looked up at him and wiped her eyes. She pulled away and walked away not knowing where she was going. Bradin sighed.
"For the first time, she doesn't know what to do," Calvin said.
"What do you mean?" Bradin asked.
"Shit always happens to her and she always finds a way to either stop it or prevent it from getting worse. Right now, she doesn't know how to do any of it. I could tell by the way she's acting."
Bradin looked at the direction that Kaitlin walked in. "Is there any way we can help her?" he asked Calvin.
"Not really."
LUCAS
Lucas was in a strange room looking around for Omayra. As he finished looking through the room, he leaned on a wall and sighed. He didn't want to believe what was happening.
"Are they together yet?" he heard.
KAITLIN
She sat on the stairs not knowing what to do. She stared at her arms thinking about it but debating if she should do it. She went into her pocket and pulled out a pocket knife. She opened it and looked at the blade as she ran her finger over the edge.
"What are you doing?" she heard.
She looked behind her and saw Lucas with Omayra on the stairs. Omayra ran up to her and grabbed the knife. Kaitlin stared at her not knowing what to say.
"Kait?" Bradin asked walking up to her. He froze when he saw Lucas standing with Omayra. "Where did you come from?" he asked Omayra.
"Um," she said looking at Lucas.
"She was in the attic the entire time," Lucas said.
"What do you mean the entire time?" Kaitlin yelled standing up, "ANSWER ME!"
"Omayra and I made a plan that could get you two together. We thought that if Omayra went missing, you would have to talk to Bradin and get to know each other or maybe even together."
"You bitch!" Kaitlin yelled. "Do you know how I was feeling? I don't think you dont one goddamn bit!"
"Katie," Omayra said.
"NO!" Kaitlin shouted as everyone came and surrounded them, "You had me putting a knife to my wrist! How could you?"
"I didn't mean to," Omayra said, "I was trying to get you to be happy."
"Well I'm not happy," Kaitlin said. She shook her head and walked off not wanting to hear anything else from anyone.
"What was that about?" Calvin asked. Omayra and Lucas sighed.
KAITLIN
She walked back into the library and pounded her fist on the table. She looked around for the book that she has looked at almost the entire time something bad has happened int he house since they've been in there. She searched the floor and couldn't find it anywhere. She stood up and looked on the book shelf where it always was. There is was, still standing looking like it was never touched. She reached for it and grabbed the spine. She slowly brought it in front of her and flipped through it. So many of the pages were filled in. She went towards the beginning to find if the book contained the plan that Omayra and Lucas had made. She couldn't find anything. She was either stupid and couldn't find it or the book didn't have it, which would seem awkward.
She dropped the book as she gave up looking for it. She looked at the empty shelves on the book case. She ran her hand over the shelf and found nothing but dust until she moved her hand to the back. There was no back to the case. She took her hand out of the case and walked to the side. She reached her hand back there and found no wall. She looked at the case and then tried pushing it out of the way so she could see what it was that the case was hiding.
After minutes of pushing the book case, she finally got it completely out of the way. There, in front of her, was passage way.
"Kaitlin!" she heard.
She looked behind her and took a deep breath before walking down the passage.
