Jinx searched the school twice and found no sight of Chia. Glancing up in the sky she saw a few people flying, but he was not one of them. Jinx came to the second floor where the water was just below ankle depth. Sliding down to the ground she sat and cried. Hanging her head down she had lost all hope.
Thoughts ran through her mind. Thoughts about her parents coming back so sudden, then her thoughts switched to Chia. Rollin had interfered because Chia forgot to tell Jinx about him. Jinx hated reliving through that moment of hate again. Rollin told her that Chia had cheated on her with some other girl, but when she asked who he did not reply. This gave Jinx some hope. Jinx had cried until she could cry no more. As she got up a voice behind her called.
"Whatever Rollin said was wrong," Chia said. Jinx slowly turned around and gazed at Chia who was now walking closer to her. "I forgot to tell you about Lanta's plan with Rollin and you," he confessed. "I don't see how you would ever forgive me."
Jinx smiled. "I don't know how I could, but I do."
"Thank you so much, you mean more to me than an earthly thing. I didn't know if-what?"
"Just shut up and kiss me already," Jinx said. Chia smiled as he pulled Jinx closer and softly caressed her lips with a smooth kiss.
Jake heard a scream but ignored it, everyone was screaming. He looked for Natalie and her friends but could not find them. He ran into Layla and asked if she had seen Marissa. She had said no and they began to search for Marissa. Along the way Natalie and Jane joined them.
"We've looked everywhere," a tired Nat said.
"Yeah, where could she be?" Jane sighed.
"I can only think of one place," Lauren said sneaking up behind them with Kevin and Varjo.
"Where's that?" Varjo asked.
"The basement," Kevin said, leading them down towards there. Once inside Jake shut the door. Layla screamed at the pitch black but she was the only one. Kevin and Lauren led the group through a series of tunnels silently. Nat, Jane, and Varjo made silent remarks like "I never knew this was here". Once they reached their destined door Jake felt like barging in, but Kevin held him back.
"Not yet," he whispered as they listened in on the conversation inside.
"I can't believe you," Marissa said to Stefan in disbelief.
"Yes, you have said that a thousand times, what's new?"
"Is that Stefan?" Layla asked. Lauren and Kevin nodded.
"Now, back to business, what do you know about Lauren and Kevin?"
"Nothing," Marissa lied.
"I can tell from the look in your eyes you're lying, now tell me the truth, where are they?"
"I don't know."
"Well, what are they doing?"
"I have no idea," Marissa sighed.
"She's not telling the truth," Rollin said reading her mind. Stefan looked over to his older brother.
"Thank you," he said.
"Hey, what are brother's for?"
"Now, tell us the truth," Stefan said to Marissa.
"Or what?"
"We'll kill you," Stefan said, his face serious.
