Chapter 16

Gustav POV

"Err… Hello, do you speak English?" I asked but there was no respond. I thought she couldn't understand us.

"..Down?" I said while doing hand motions. Seriously, I looked like a douchebag. I heard her mumble and giggles. She crouched down and took something out from her bag and there was a snap.

Immediately we fell to the ground and landed with a grunt. Well, at least I was. Bill somehow managed to land on me again. As skinny as he is, he is actually really heavy.

"Bill, get off…" I pushed him away. "Ouch, meanie…" he said but I ignored it.

I got up to my feet and dusted myself. Then I saw a wave of water headed towards me. The next thing I knew, my face was all wet! I wiped my face with my arms. "Bill…" I blindly accused.

"It wasn't me!" he shrugged. Then the same thing happened to him. "Hey!"

"What was that for?" Bill said.

"Feeling better now?" we heard a woman's voice. We turned around and saw her fiddling with her bag pack. "Thanks…" I mumbled.

"Excuse me?" she said looking straight at me. She had these big blue eyes that sort of caught me off guard.

"..Else?" she said with hand motions which I figured that she was teasing me earlier.

"Uh- Yes" I answered. "Could you help us find our friends-" before I could finish talking, she walked off.

"Hey wait!" I called out chasing after her and Bill trailing behind me.

"Excuse me," I patted her shoulder.

"Yes?" she turned around. Her black hair had a tint of blue that distracted me and I forgot what I wanted to say. I ended complimenting about her hair instead "Cool hair"

She rolled her eyes and walked off again. I caught up to her "I thought you said you were gonna help us,"

"I didn't say I was going to help you. I only asked if you needed anything"

"Well I WAS about to say something then you just walked off"

"That's because you said it already"

"I did?"

"Yes, Gustav. Now let's go" she urged.

"You know me?" she rolled her eyes again like it was a stupid question.

"I don't live under a rock you know" she said with one eyebrow raised.

"Oh, and this is Bill… Wait, you already know"

"Okay fine since I know you already it's not fair for me to not introduce myself. Hi, I'm Casey" she put her hand out.

As I was about to reach it, Bill beat me to it. "Nice to meet you" he said with his signature smile.

"Um, unless you haven't notice Bill, you're lost" Casey said sarcastically.

"I guess you're right. So, let's go?" Casey and I nodded.

Georg POV

I felt my body tumble and roll a few times and there was this pressured pain against my body. I couldn't do anything because I knew I was blocked out from the world.

Everything was pitch black. I couldn't sense anything that was going on. All I felt was pain and as if I was floating in an empty and endless world of darkness but somehow I knew, something was DEADLY wrong. After a while the feeling just disappeared.

My body started to feel a little more relaxed. The next thing I knew, I was dreaming and it was kind of a relief for me (I knew I wasn't dead). I felt my body was shaken numerous times. I heard someone calling for me…

I slowly regained consciousness. I opened my eyes and tried to focus on my vision. Slowly, I could see what was in front of me. I saw a figure of a person's face. She had a smile plastered on her face. I thought it was mum, but it wasn't, stupid illusions.

"Are you okay?" I heard her say. She had a sweet voice. I responded with an "uhhh…" groan.

She helped me sit up and leaned me against a tree. I took in a deep breath and let it out. I saw the girl doing something to my leg. She was wrapping a bandage around it.

"Uh, excuse me," I cleared my throat. "Who are you?" okay I know it sounds a little rude but well, it was the first thing that popped into my head.

"Noelle" she said without looking up. "I'm Georg" I said. She looked at me and smiled then she continued her work.

My thoughts were relaxed until I remembered what happened before and I cursed in my head. My friends were in danger and I don't know where they are. Heck, I don't even know where I am.

A feeling of worry struck me. You could say that I was worried about a lot of things. This was somehow weird of me because I don't usually worry at ALL. But I guess since you're lost in the middle of nowhere, you are bound to get all these feelings.

Noelle sensed something was wrong with me. After she had finished, she gave me some water. At the sight of it, I got extremely thirsty and chugged down the whole bottle. Man it was refreshing.

After getting refreshed, and was supplied a little energy, I wanted to know if Noelle knew what happened or at least saw anything that happened.

"Its Noelle right?" I asked. She looked at me and nodded. "Did you see anything that happened to me?"She paused for a moment and thought. Then she shook he head. I was disappointed and I got worried all over again.

"Well, I didn't see anything but I heard noises" that lifted my mood a bit.

"What sort of noises?"

"Well, there was definitely screaming and there was this loud splash. I was camping around here when I heard it so I checked it out. I saw a car slowly sinking and after a while the headlights went off and that was it" she told me and gave an energy bar she took from her bag.

"Did you see anyone besides me?"

"I didn't find you until I accidently tripped over you. That explains the ankle. Sorry 'bout that. But besides you, no one" I felt disappointed.

I knew something was bound to go wrong. I needed to get to them. But with an aching body and a sprinted ankle there's no way I could go anywhere. As I was munching the yummy, yummy bar (man, it's as if I have eaten since forever) eh… I got nothin'

Darn it! This is hopeless! I just hung my head and sighed.

Noelle must have heard me because she gave me this curious look. I tried to ignore it but she kept on staring which was slightly uncomfortable.

She broke the silence by saying "Dude, don't worry. We'll find Gustav and the others"

I lifted up my head "Huh?"

She rolled her eyes and took out a newspaper cutting and handed it over to me. I looked at the tabloids that said "Tokio Hotel's disappearance remains a mystery" and read the whole article trough.

"Ah man" I whined. I gave Noelle a glance.

"Dude, you don't know how fast the news went. In over 24 hours it spread all over the world. The police are looking everywhere for you guys. Your fans are making up crap in the internet. Your relatives are worried sick and David, he is being the crap that he is sometimes"

I listened in, well, let's just say I listened. "How do you know all of these?"

She gave me this 'duh' look and said "A fan, duh". I just said "oh" and wondered how wrong this would turn out.

"Dude, relax. I'm not a fan, fan" she said.

I gave her the 'yeah right' look and crossed my arms.

"Okay so I have a few of your albums but seriously, I was sent out here to look for you guys" she admitted.

"Uh-huh" I said, still not satisfied.

"Look, the only reason why the police haven't been able to trace you guys yet it's because all source of evidence was destroyed. Every possible information that they get leads them to failure. I would love to save your asses and get paid for my job but unfortunately, you don't seem like you need any help!"

Noelle suddenly got mad. Hey don't blame me. She certainly sounded like she was lying about the whole thing. And I hate liars (who doesn't?) but then, she looked kind of insulted by my 'uh-huh' comment. It wasn't even a comment! I think…

So, she packed her stuff and went away. I struggled while getting on to my feet. It hurt.

I slow-chased her. It wasn't working well so I called out. "Hey, Noelle! Come on, I didn't meant it that way! Although, I didn't know that uh-huh meant anything…"

"Come on please, I'm sorry!" I yelled. I dragged my leg while walking. This unleveled ground is making it hard to move.

"Please, can you help me?" I pleaded. Seriously admitting, I feel like a slave begging or pleading for mercy in the middle of the Sahara.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around. It was Noelle, she had a serious look on her face or was it an annoyed look.

"There you are-" I didn't finish what I was about to say because the woman shushed me.

She made a signal to follow her. I was confused but I followed anyway. Keeping up with her was hard. She's fast and is often out of my sight but somehow I managed.

The noises of me grunting in pain were getting a little too loud for Noelle. She turned around and gave me a frown. "Sorry" I whispered.

We continued walking for a few minutes. Does she even know where we're going? I thought. She suddenly stopped; oops I think she read my mind.

She pushed the leaves that was covering her view and had a good look. She turned to me and gave a sly smile. She signaled me to come closer, so I did.

A few miles in front of us were two people. Yes! Help! I cheered in my head. But when I looked carefully, I saw two familiar people.

One is shaking the other vigorously who was lying on the ground. I heard a voice calling out a name. The sound was so distant I couldn't make out what he was saying.

It took me quite a while to realize who they were. It was Tom and Cloe! I wanted to get to them but Noelle pulled me back.

"What?"

"What are you doing?"

"Umm, going to my friends" as if it didn't look that obvious, sheesh.

"I don't think so" she said disapprovingly.

"What are you blind? Can't you see? They need help" I debated.

"I am not blind! And if you go out there you might get captured, they might be a trap"

"What crap are you talking about? They're my friends. Like or not I'm going to them" with that said, I just went off. I heard her mumbling and her footsteps trailing behind me. Hah, I won this round.

"Tom!" I called out as I neared him.

"Georg!" Tom looked up and smiled as he saw me. Then his smile turned into a frown.

"Georg, get outta here Georg!" he yelled.

"What?"

"Go back! Go! You shouldn't be here!"

"What are you saying?"

"They'll just do what they did to Cloe. Go NOW!" he stressed.

When I saw him being scared, I was scared too. With no further arguments I turned around and walked away. Something went wrong, I knew it did. Whatever happened while I was unconscious must've been something really bad.

I had this really strong feeling of worry suffocating my chest. I was tearing up. Mainly because I was scared.

"GEORG!" I heard Tom calling my name. I turned around and saw something coming my way.

Okay, so, I'm sorry this chapter took so so so long to write. I kept on changing and changing the plot until I got bored and decided to leave it until some kind of spark would come. Luckily, it did! Yay me!

Review please =D
