Chapter 3

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Maria said, referring to the sunset that she and nine of her companions were witnessing.

"It's probably the best part about living here." Punk replied, having purposely sat himself next to Maria.

"See, this place isn't so bad." Melina said with a know-it-all tone as John draped his arms across her shoulders. She looked at Torrie, who seemed to have completely zoned out, just staring out into the ocean. "You still spooked, Torrie?"

"What?" Torrie snapped out of her trance-like state. "Oh, no, um, I was just watching the sunset." She glanced around the beach, a cold shiver entering her spine as the pier came into sight.

"You cold?" Cody piped up.

"A little bit," Torrie half-lied. "I think I'm gonna go back to the hotel." She stood up, readying herself to go.

"I'll come with you." Maria said, leaving Punk looking slightly disappointed. Torrie and Maria strolled off, leaving the rest of them behind. "Are you ok?" Maria asked Torrie once they were out of ear shot.

"I guess. I dunno." She ran a hand through her hair nervously. They had to walk past the pier to get to the hotel.

"I wouldn't worry about ghost stories." Maria linked her arm through Torrie's comfortingly. "They're not true."

"I know, I know." They were just metres away from the pier. "It's just that JBL was so convincing and-" she stopped, apparently listening out for something.

"And what?" Maria wanted to know, before Torrie held up her hand to stop Maria from saying anything else. She was sure she could hear the opening lines to 'Amazing Grace'.

"Do you hear that?"

Maria listened, but could here nothing. "What am I listening out for?"

"I can hear a song." Torrie replied. "It's coming from under the pier."

"So someone's singing." Maria shrugged.

"But 'Ria, I just looked under the pier before we left, there was nobody there."

"Maybe they just got there after you looked."

Torrie was thinking of an answer when the singing stopped mid-line.

"I'll go check." Maria started towards the pier, but Torrie grabbed her arm.

"Can we just go back to the hotel? Please?"

Maria glanced over her shoulder at the pier, wanting to go and see who was supposedly singing, but reluctantly agreed to go back to the hotel.

"I'm just not enjoying it so far." Torrie admitted as she sipped her hot chocolate. She was back in the café of the hotel, and she had calmed down slightly.

"You've just had a bad start." Maria said, as she held a mug of tea in her hands. "I'm sure the rest of it will be really fun."

"I hope so." Torrie replied, unconvinced. She heard the door to the café open, and in walked JBL, who noticed them straight away. After all, there was no one else apart from Kristal in the café for him to notice.

"Where'd your friends go?" He asked them politely as he made his way over to his usual table, in the corner of the room next to the window.

"They're on the beach." Maria replied. Torrie was glad she was only with Maria - any of the others would have come back with a suspicious reply such as 'why do you care?'

"You girls haven't been near the pier have you?" JBL was now sat down and taking his jacket off.

"Yeah." Maria looked intrigued. "Why?"

"I'd better not say anything, Kristal might tell me off." He threw a dirty look at the waitress, who threw one straight back.

"Tell us." Torrie urged him. That song that she had heard earlier...

"Well," JBL began, "you remember I told you about Ashley Massaro, right?"

"Yeah." Torrie replied quickly, eager to hear what else he had to say.

"Well, she wasn't the only girl who went missing that year. It was only a few months later that Jillian Hall disappeared."

"I can't believe you're feeding them this crap!" Kristal interrupted.

"Let me finish." JBL demanded. "They asked to hear this." He turned his attention back to Maria and Torrie. "Anyway, Jillian was the complete opposite of Ashley, she was a good girl, and an aspiring singer. One of her favourite things to do was to sit under the pier at sunset and sing-"

"Amazing Grace." Torrie finished the sentence for him. She realised that it was probably not the best idea, as her interruption gained her strange looks from JBL and Kristal.

"How did you know that?" JBL asked, his eyebrows furrowed as he squinted at Torrie suspiciously.

"Lucky guess?" She responded lamely.

"Carry on with the story." Maria urged him, wanting to take the attention away from Torrie. She could help but worry about her.

"Like I said, Jillian was a good girl. She always let her mother know where she was going to be and what she was doing. One night she went out to watch the sunset from under the pier, and she just vanished."

"People do a lot of vanishing in your stories, don't they John?" Kristal glanced at JBL sideways. "Can't you come up with anything original?"

"I can't help it if all these girls vanished. I wouldn't be surprised if they were all linked somehow."

"You mean there's more?" Torrie asked. She automatically wished she hadn't, as she no longer wanted to know.

"Hey, Torrie, why don't we go back to our room?" Before Torrie could answer, Maria had grabbed her by the arm and started to drag her out of the café. Behind them, they could hear Kristal arguing with JBL.

"You're scaring customer away! Again!"

"They need to know the truth!"

"Oh my God!" Mickie cried in disbelief as she flopped onto her bed. Maria had just finished telling her, Melina and Candice what had happened in the café.

"It's funny how he tells a story about the pier the same day we actually went there." Melina spat venomously. "I wouldn't be surprised if he's stalking us and that's how he knew."

"He like the creepy guy who would do that sort of thing..." Candice added.

"But the song, I heard it before he told me about the girl." Torrie said, defending both herself and JBL.

"Maybe you just imagined it." Candice shrugged.

"Or if he was stalking us," started Maria, "he could have heard you telling me."

"But I didn't mention the name of the song."

"Yeah you did." Maria nodded in the air-headed way that she did. "You told me to listen so I did and I asked what we were listening out for and you said 'Amazing Grace'." Torrie thought for a moment. Did she say that to Maria?

"Either way, I think we should stay away from JBL," Mickie interrupted, "and talk about Melina and John."

"What about Melina and John?" Maria turned to Melina, her interest rising.

"I can't help it if he thinks I'm hot." Melina replied not-so-modestly.

Once again Torrie zoned out of the conversation. Out on the street below she could see the girl from the night before standing there alone in the dark, staring up at Torrie. She wore the same sombre look, and Torrie felt the same cold chill flow down her spine.
