Sandra walked down the stairs. Everyone had headed off to bed but Sandra needed something to drink. She went to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water for her, and one for Madoka. She had offered before she headed down. She was about to start back up the stairs when she heard her parents talking in the bedroom.

"Don't you think we should tell them?" her dad asked. Sandra blinked in confusion and silently approached their bedroom door.

"I want to, but we've kept this a secret for so long. Matt will probably just shrug it off, but Sandra will be crushed," her mom protested. What are they talking about?

"I know, and the last thing I want to do is hurt either of them, but they deserve to know the truth," her dad persisted. Truth about what?

"I know, but how are we supposed to tell them that you're not their real father?" her mom asked, making Sandra freeze. "Their real father doesn't even know about them."

Sandra didn't wait to hear anymore. She turned around and headed back toward the stairs. She stopped at the bottom, not believing what she heard, but she knew that they weren't lying. If he's not my real dad, who is?

Sandra didn't have time for another thought before somebody grabbed her from behind. She tried to scream but a hand covered her mouth as her captor dragged her out of the house to his vehicle.

Kyoya's POV

Kyoya was just beginning to doze off when he heard banging on Matt's bedroom door. All three boys got up and Matt opened the door to reveal a panic-stricken Madoka. "Have any of you seen Sandra? Please say you have!" she begged.

"No, why?" Matt asked, concern rising in his eyes.

"She went to get us both some water but she never came back. I went to find her but she wasn't in the house and the front door was open," Madoka explained.

"What?!" Kyoya exclaimed, pushing his way out of the room, quickly running down the stairs and outside. Like Madoka said, the door was wide open. "Sandra!" he called, but he got no answer. His panic grew and he did his best to control himself. "Sandra! Answer me!" Still no answer.

"You don't think…" Benkei trailed off, unable to finish his sentence. They all knew what he was holding back.

"Oh no!" Madoka covered her mouth in shock and worry.

"Matt, go get your parents," Kyoya ordered. Matt nodded. He headed inside so quickly he almost tripped.

"Do you think the guy broke into the house?" Benkei asked.

Kyoya looked back at the door. "I don't see any sign of that. The doors were locked, right?" When Benkei nodded, Kyoya continued, "Then how did he get into the house? It doesn't make sense. There's nothing broken to show that somebody forced their way in."

"Then how did they get in? Picked the lock?" Benkei suggested.

Kyoya looked at him then back at the house and the wide open door. He saw Matt running back with his parents. They looked horrified and Sandra's mom was crying into her dad's shoulder. Kyoya looked at the ground before looking out toward the trees that surrounded the house. "I'm going to go search the area," he said. "Benkei, stay here."

"I'm going with you," Matt rasped, coming up beside him. Kyoya wanted to tell him to stay too but he just nodded, knowing that he was just as worried about Sandra as he was. They then headed off into the woods. Kyoya took a quick glance behind him to make sure Benkei hadn't followed. He kept his hands near his bey and launcher at all times. Matt was doing the same, but he could tell that he was having a much harder time holding in his feelings than Kyoya was.

"Don't worry, Matt. We'll find her," Kyoya assured him.

"But what if we don't? What if…" he trailed off, not needing to say what they both already knew. "I've known her all my life and we were always there for each other. I can't lose her now."

Kyoya nodded. "I know. I'm not about to lose her either. If I have to, I'll spend the rest of my life hunting down the guy who took her."

Matt nodded, saying he would do the same. They kept searching but didn't find anything. They headed back, sadly with nothing.

Please R&R :)
