"Where the hell is Maya?" Zig thought, after he had tried to call her, but of course got no answer.
"We don't have time to wait for her!" Grace snapped. "We're going to find Frankie and kick some ass so come on!"
"What if something happened to her!?" Zig replied, now looking rather pissed off.
"It isn't like her to not answer her phone or not reply to texts like this," Tiny added.
"Okay fine!" Grace said. "We'll stop by her place on the way,"
And so the friends ran to Maya's house, but when they got to the front door... Well the knew something was up.
"He-Her purse..." Jenna managed to choke out, picking it up and opening it up. "Look her phone!" The 12th grader said, taking it out of the purse.
"Oh no..." Zig mumbled. "No..."
"Something happened to her," Grace growled.
"And the front door isn't locked..." Zig replied, as he opened it. "She always locks it,"
The group ran into the house, called out for Maya and looked everywhere.
"Damn it! She's not here," Dallas said.
"Zoe and the others... They must've gotten her! This is all my fault!" Zig muttered.
"No! This isn't your fault, Zig," Tiny said. "We had no idea they'd go after Maya!" Tiny responded.
"Tiny's right! But come on. Let's go find her and Frankie, before they do something horrible to them," Grace said, racing for the front door.
The others followed Grace, but this time Zig used his key to lock the door just to make sure...
It was dark now the nighttime sky had taken over. The group had no intentions of stopping their search until it was finished.
Miles, Hunter, and Frankie's parents were also out on the search, but in a different part of the city.
And of course the group of friends had no idea that they were out too.
"This is the corner where they dragged her off," Grace explained, pointing to the spot. "Let's see where this street leads us then," Clare squeaked.
After that the friends ran around the corner only to stop dead in their tracks... Within five miles the street came to a dead end. Then there was a huge gruegue sitting on a hill.
The lights were on inside and surrounding the rather creepy look building, was nothing but green grass. Lighting Bugs lit up ans danced in it.
"You don't think... That they took them in there do you?" Alli questioned.
"I have a feeling that they might've," Grace replied. "Come on we're going in!"
"No! Wait!" Clare said, jumping in front of Grace. "Even if this is where they are, how do we know that they don't have a weapon of some sort?"
"I think we've just gotta take our chances here!" Imogen chimed in.
"Yeah," Becky agreed.
"Besides we're strong!" Drew smirked.
"Okay, okay! Let's go," Grace said.
Then the group of friends quietly snuck up on the building. Once they got to the doors which were open, letting in the fresh air they listened beside them.
"Yep. No one is gonna find us here!"
"That's Zoe!" Zig snarled. "The are in there!"
"Well then... Let's give them the surprise of a life time. Ready? In three..."
"One..."
"Two..."
"Three!"
The friends. raced into the garage, taking the other group by surprise.
"HEY! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, HUH!?" Grace snapped, lunging for Zoe.
"MAYA! WHERE IS M-" Zig stopped dead in his tracks, when he saw Maya's dead body, he also saw how her skin had been sliced, her eyes had been removed, and how her fingers and thumbs had been cut off.
"NO! NO!" Zig screamed, catching everyone's atteion.
"THEY KILLED MAYA!"
"More like I killed Maya! And Jack cut off her fingers and thumbs! Oh also, Grace. Jack raped Frankie," Zoe said, grinning from ear to ear.
"THAT'S IT!" Imogen snarled, charging towards Jack.
Becky joined Imogen in the fight. After all two had a better chance of taking one down... Then just one.
"YOU'RE SICK!" Grace yelled, pining Zoe down to the floor.
"Indeed," Zoe laughed.
"THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" Grace screamed.
"HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU!" Zig added in, coming over towards Zoe and Grace, with Tiny following him. While the others cornered the rest of Zoe and Jack's friends.
"How dare I? Oh please! I enjoyed killing Matlin!" Zoe giggled.
"SOMEONE! CALL THE POLICE! WE NEED THEM HERE!" Grace yelled out.
Clare darted out of the building at Grace's demand and took her phone out. She called the police, before going back in and helped Alli back Lola into a corner, as the others did the same with Zoe and Jack's other friends.
Frankie watched as the conteration went on, but hoped that nothing bad would happen.
And nothing really did happen. There were ice cold stares, but the police finally arrived and took things from there.
Zoe and Jack were the only ones arrested. Due to Zoe killing Maya, and Jack being the one to rape Frankie and did harm Maya by cutting off her fingers and thumbs.
Frankie was broken free from the chains and finally was able to put her underwear and pants back on. Grace gave her the hug of a lifetime. "I'm never letting go," Grace whispered.
"I don't ever want you to," Frankie replied, hugging Grace back.
Frankie's family arrived at the scene a few minutes later. They thanked Grace and the rest of Frankie's friends for helping.
"You are really good for our daughter," Frankie's mom said, smiling at Grace.
"Thank you," Grace responded.
"No thank you," Frankie's dad said, stepping forward. "Thanks to you she's found love and protection,"
Grace blushed lightly at the compliment.
"Well we did lose a friend..." Frankie sighed, glancing over towards the others who were currently joined in a hug, sobbing due to Maya's death.
"I-I'm gonna miss her..." Frankie managed to choke out, as tears began to stream down her face.
"Me too," Grace responded, as tears also slipped from her eyes.
Maya's mom soon drove up to the building, along with the parents of the others.
"Oh there's my parents," Grace said, seeing her mom and dad racing over.
"GRACE!" They cheered in unison, happy to see their daughter was unharmed.
"Mom, Dad!" Grace squeaked, running to them for a hug.
"Thank goodness you're alright," Jewel said.
"Yep!" Willam agreed.
"Yeah. I'm fine," Grace said, as they broke the tight embrace. "Well physically fine... Not emotionally,"
"We heard that someone died here," Willam responded.
"She was a real close friend," Grace replied.
"Aw, Hun," Jewel said. "I'm so sorry,"
"It'll be alright..." Grace sighed, thinking about how they'd fend without Maya. It would be hard, but they'd find a way...
Later that night Frankie was taken to the hospital. She was treated for her injuries, and was checked over with a rape kit.
Frankie had to stay in the hospital for a three days, but after that she was given the okay to go back to school.
Classes soon ended for the year. Prom was held. So was graduation. Then as the summer began it was time for Maya's funeral.
The friends were all in attendance. They looked over Maya's grave after everyone else had left.
"Bye, Maya. We'll miss you," Frankie chirped.
"Yeah, Matlin. You were like my little sister," Grace said, wishing that she could've had a chance to have said that her.
"Love you sis," Zig added. "Forever,"
"Love you, Maya!" Everyone said in unison.
Then the friends left the graveyard and went on to their homes.
Some would be going off to college that next year, some would be staying and going back to Degrassi for a few more years. Soon after the funeral Clare had her baby. Eli and Clare were now proud parents. And they named their son Adam.
Frankie took counseling during break to deal with what had taken place, and went to court for the trails of Maya's murder, and being raped.
Zoe and Jack were found guilty of what they had done, and were sentenced to life in prison.
And when the next school year began, Grace and Frankie walked up the steps together holding hands.
"Ready for another year at Degrassi?" Grace questioned.
"Ready as I'll ever be," Frankie responded. The two girls shared a kiss and then went into school together.
"Oh and Frankie?" Grace added in question.
"Yeah?" Frankie asked in reply.
"I was wondering if..." Grace asked, as she gulped upon seeing Tiny, and Zig nodding at her with approval and smiles on their faces.
"Huh?" Frankie asked, looking at Grace with confusion.
"I know we're both still real young. You're just starting grade 10 and I'm starting grade 11, but... Will you marry me?" Grace finally managed to ask, as she got down on one knee and took out a black box, that when Grace opened revealed a silver engagement ring with a diamond in the middle.
"YES GRACE! YES!" Frankie yelled in a cheerful tone.
Grace grinned as she took the ring out of the box and slipped it onto Frankie's ring finger.
"Congrats!" Zig and Tiny cheered in unison.
"Thanks, guys," Grace and Frankie responded together.
"Now come on let's get going," Zig said. "New classes to find!"
"Yeah. Yeah," Tiny smirked.
Then the four friends walked along through Degrassi to find their first hour class of the new school year.
-The End-
