Shattered Pieces of The Tipton

Chapter Seven

Zack woke opened his eyes to be staring into darkness. He had had a horrible dream and couldn't shake it from his mind. It kept replaying over and over in his head, like a movie that kept rewinding.

Zack was walking down a long hallway. He came to a door and opened it. He walked down some stairs and ended up in a large room. It was the warehouse he had found Maddie in before. The only difference now was that the party was over, no one was there. Yet, the guard stood at the door. Zack walked up to him and he immediately stepped aside and let Zack into the room. When he entered the room, he saw a circle of kids. They were all talking and laughing and having a good time. Everything looked normal until Zack realized that they were looking at something in the middle of the circle. He stepped closer and saw Maddie, lying on the floor. She was bleeding. She had slit her wrists and was just lying there. Dead.

Zack shook his head, trying to erase the memory of his morbid dream but it wouldn't leave him. He decided to go check on Maddie. Maybe seeing her alive and okay would help him forget about his dream. It didn't. When he got to his room where Maddie had fallen asleep, he stopped in his tracks. Maddie was gone.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Zack stared at the empty bed. She must have snuck out while he was asleep. Zack didn't know what to do but then realized the only thing he could do: go find her. He even knew where she was; she had gone back to the warehouse.

Zack pounded on the door and London opened it. "What are you doing banging on the door to my suite at this hour of the night?" She asked sleepily.

"Maddie's gone." He said. She was suddenly wide-awake.

"How?"

"She snuck out while I was sleeping." Zack replied, disappointed in himself. London grabbed his hand and began running down the hall.

"I think I know where she is." London said as the pair stepped into the elevator.

"I think I do, too." Zack said. "I just hope I'm wrong."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

London and Zack were standing outside the warehouse, staring at it. "Should we go check for her?" Zack asked. London nodded and they headed towards it.

They walked down the long hallway. When they reached the door, they opened it and walked down the stairs and ended up in the large room. It was empty now; the party was over. Oddly enough, though, the guard was still at the door at the far end of the room. Zack and London started towards the door but were stopped by a piercing scream. They looked at each other and raced towards the door. The guard jumped out of the way and let them through. Zack saw a group of kids, sitting in a circle, looking at something in the center of their circle. Zack's dream came flooding back to him. He raced towards the circle of teenagers and saw….
