It was nighttime on the island. The sky looked like porridge as the stars aligned is a mashed up way. The centurion house was particularly ambient as half of the student body was asleep and the other half was awake but most likely studying.

Me and kerry were in the main foyer of the main house of centurion formulating a plan to find their friends. Cleo could unfortunately not be with us because The room is uncomfortably large. It reminds me of a hotel foyer, not just in the space but in the artwork too. I scan for a personal touch, something that doesn't suggest a hired designer chose it. Nothing. The floor is polished concrete, the walls white and the furniture I'm sure is from a high-end Scandinavian designer, but the name escapes me for the moment. There is room in here for dozens of children, though I doubt even one would be welcome. It is a perfect place, but cold in its tranquility.
"Okay Kerry. Since you know wyatt the best, You can go look for him" I explained to her. "ok…" She agreed. "I'll go upstairs and look for haydn." I said. Kerry's face was still fraught with worry though. "Don't worry i'm sure those bums are just asleep in their rooms somewhere." I joked. Kerry let out a slight giggle and cheered up. "Alright let's meet back here in half an hour." she said. "Right."

We split up and headed our separate ways.


I went upstairs to see if haydn was in his room. Normally the 2nd hallway on the centurion house is for boys only but I managed to sneak in. The hallway was eerie and really quiet as I approached haydn's room. From my pocket I took out a hairpin to pick the lock. I fiddled it within the lock hole and the door swung open.

*Meow*
Ruby, Haydn's cat came from underneath the bed. She looked like she hadn't been fed in a while and was burying at my feet for food. "Poor girl… Here ya go." i took out some trail mix i had and fed it to ruby. She ate it up happily and rubbed her face on my leg.

"I guess haydn hasn't been in here for awhile huh?" I said to her.
*Meow* She meowed back.
"That's really worrying….. I know haydn wouldn't leave you alone in his room with no food" I said to myself. It is made me worry, Haydn cared for ruby like she was his own sibling and would never leave her alone in his room with no food. I don't want to assume the worst but….
"No… I must stay positive." I relented yo myself and formed a new plan in my head. " I guess I'll see if joyce knows where haydn or wyatt is." I agreed. I picked up ruby and prepared to go to the third floor where joyce's room is.

I took ruby up the stairs she was meowing and licking me the whole time.
Joyce's room was the second room to the the right as soon as came from the stairs.

I knocked on the door and called for joyce. "Joyce! Can I come in." I yelled.
"..." there was no answer. "Joyce! Wake up!" I screeched. Again, There was no answer. I grabbed the doorknob and twisted it, Surprisingly the door wasn't locked and it opened with ease.

"Ugh."
Joyce's room was to put it lightly "untidy." The bed sheets were unkept and sliding off the bed. There were dirty clothes on the floor, A half eaten hot dog on the desk. It was a mess. "Christ,Joyce. We've only been here two days and you've already turned this place into a pig sty…" I said.
*Meow* Ruby also meowed in disgust, I put her down and scanned the room.
"She isn't here…. Just like wyatt." joyce wasn't the kind of girl to be out this late. This made me really worry about her and Her well-being. I sighed and went out of the room and back to the foyer to meet back with kerry.

Back in the foyer, Kerry was sitting down on a pristine couch at the end of the room. Her head hanging low. I approached her with caution but reverence.
"No Luck, Either?"
"..." She shook her head. "I Couldn't find haydn anywhere. To make it worse ruby was left in his room alone, Which meant something is really wrong." I stated.
"Poor cleo… She's not gonna like that news." Kerry replied. "Joyce, Is also missing too." I stated.
"Oh god…. I hope nothing bad has happened to her." She said with her eyes closed. "I'm S-Sure she's fine." I uttered. To be honest, Their was only so many times I could reassure her.

"Listen, We'll look again tomorrow, Ok? It's getting late."
"Ok…." Kerry agreed. I then escorted her to her own room and took haydn's cat ruby with me back to mine then went to bed.

I hope my friends are alright….
