Hi guys! I'm so , so, so, so, so sorry for not updating in a while. I've been having to get tons of school stuff done, and I wanted to make sure I wrote this when I had a fully functioning brain. I know I say I will update soon, but with school and stuff going on at home, it is sometimes harder to make time to write. Because this chapter took a while to write, I'll see if I can post another tomorrow, or maybe even today. Thanks for reading!

Enjoy!

Luke's POV

As Flynn walked out I swear I saw tears in her eyes. I could tell she desperately wanted Julie back as much as the rest of us.

First things first, we need to narrow down on where Caleb took Julie. We have a small list of possible places, but we only get one shot, so I'm going to do this right. What Alex, Reg, and I came up with included; The Hollywood Ghostclub, but the closed off parts, a few abandoned buildings around the area, and then there was this one place that seemed pretty sketch, it was an old factory for metal manufacturing.

Second, we need to finalize our back up plan. So far it was just to wing it because no one ever really knows what to expect when taking on an evil magician ghost.

Third, now this was the hard part, contacting Willie. Ever since we played the Orpheum, Alex would go out at night in search of his crush. Sadly, every night he came back with the same thing, nothing.

But then Reggie came up with the idea of waiting for Willie to come to them. I'll admit it surprised me at first, but then I understood where he was coming from. When we had Caleb's stamp and tried looking for Willie, nothing happened. But when we just waited, he finally showed up, we just have to be able to catch him at the right time (before he can get away on his skateboard).

So that's what we did. We waited.

Julie's POV

I've lost complete track of time, and I couldn't care less. I mean, why would I? My newfound family is now dead, and it is all my fault. Clearly, everyone, who I grow to love and care about, leaves me, sooner rather than later.

Caleb still forces me to eat, and when I refuse, he just shows me the existence of Alex, Reggie, and Luke, being taken from them again.

Each time I see it, I break a little more. Maybe it's best if I don't go home. That way I can ensure the safety of Flynn, and the rest of my friends and family.

When Caleb seems pretty tired, he'll just form these tricks, where (after)life-like versions of Alex, Reggie, and Luke come into my room, saying they're here to save me, until the cruel punishment is revealed, and they are still gone.

I think that has been tried at least thirteen times, but after the third try, I've completely lost hope.

No one can save me, and I'm no longer sure if I want to be saved anyway.

Luke's POV

It feels like the boys and I have been waiting forever for Willie to show up, yet our time has not gone to waste. We've been able to zero in on where Caleb is at, and we actually have a reasonable back up plan. Turns out that when Caleb kidnapped Julie, he took her to the old metal manufacturing place.

Now Alex, Reggie, and I are just going over the finer details. Until we hear the distinct sound of a poof. Which was weird, since Reggie and Alex are both already here, so who could the ghost be? Unless…

"Willie! You're here! You're okay! Where were you? You had me worried sick! You know I have anxiety, how could you do this to me? Come here!" Alex ran up to Willie and hugged him as if he were going to die again.

"Alex- ca-can't brea-breathe!"

"Oh! Sorry."

"It's fine. Now to answer your questions. I was hiding from Caleb obviously. And I'm truly sorry I had to put you through that Alex, but you may or may not have known, but people were following you so I had to wait until they were gone."

"That makes sense."

I'm happy that Alex finally gets to reunite with his ghost crush, but we still need to discuss the other matter at hand.

"Hey Willie?"

"Yeah Luke?"

"I know you like just got here, but it's kind of a matter of life and death, and we were wondering if you had any intel on-"

"Julie?"

"Yeah how'd you know that?"

"Well Caleb always has a back up plan, and as much as I hate it, he treated me like his second in command, and discussed this plan for Julie with me."

"You knew! And you didn't think to tell us?"

"I couldn't! Remember? The whole soul owning thing?"

"Oh yeah… sorry about that. Carry on."

"Okay. Well he told me that his back up plan involved his personal assassin, that he would use to get answers out of Julie. His main goal was to just break her emotionally, so there was no way she would be able to play again. And the way he said he planned on doing it, is just plain evil."

"No kidding! He's a psychopath! I don't even care about the twins anymore!"

"Good to know Reg, but Willie? How was he planning on breaking her?"

"Well, he knew how the loss of her mother made it impossible for Julie to play music for a whole year. So he thought, what would happen if she had to go through the loss of three ghosts who brought music back into her life, and completely impacted her perspective of music."

"You don't mean he's going to erase us from existence again, right?"

"Yes and no."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, Caleb is a very powerful magician. He can make very strong hallucinations seem like they are real. So he was going to make her watch him erase you three from existence, and then convince her that it was her fault."

"I'm going to kill Caleb! Well not kill cause he's already dead, but you get the point!"

"I know Reg. I feel the same way as you. Lucky for us, we know where he is, how to get in, and bring Julie home with us."

"That's good. And I would love to help you guys, it's just-"

"Don't worry about it Willie. We understand."

"Thanks guys. Well I better get going."

"Wait! Will I ever see you again?"

"I hope so Alex."

And then there was another one of Alex's award winning hugs. I hated that he and Willie couldn't be together, but I need to get Julie first, and then we can work on a plan to get Willie free from Caleb's grasp.

"See you later hot dog."

"Bye Willie."

Willie poofed out.

"Alright guys." I got Alex and Reggie's attention, "I think it's time we go get our girl back, before Caleb can do anymore damage than I can imagine he has already done."

I hope you guys liked it. Sorry, I know I always leave cliff hangers, but don't worry because the rescue is in the next chapter. How did you guys like seeing Willie? And how do you think Julie's rescue will go? Please leave a review!

Oh and side note, I now have an ao3 account, with my this story as well as my "Food Poisoning" Oneshot, so feel free to check it out.

I'll be back soon, and thanks again for reading!
