Summary: Austin and Ally take a trip to Ally's aunt's cabin during spring break thinking they'd have a typical break with a few friends, a little booze and lots of alone time. Little did they know what was ahead for them and that, that included someone trying to sabotage it all. Stranded with nowhere to go and someone trying to make sure they're never seen again isn't exactly the kind of break they were thinking of.
A/N: I'm honestly so sorry? I didn't know it had been almost a week since I updated. Time flies when you're not doing anything and just procastinsting. I'm so sorry again, haha. Let me shut up...and just let you enjoy!
"Kira!" Ally screams. She runs back into the darkness of the woods. The faster she runs the more she realizes it's all no use.
She calls out her friend's name continuously, silently praying that this is all some sick joke or that Kira is just lost and she'll somehow find her.
"Kira!" She tries yelling again because it's all she's got. Her luck is running out. (Not that she really had any to begin with.)
"Somebody help me!" Ally suddenly hears Kira's pleading call as she runs in the direction of her voice but it's like she's running in circles.
She's out of breath and panic mode is gradually starting to set in. She stops, placing her hands on knees and bending them to catch her breath.
When she lifts her head, the last thing she hears is a scream so high it nearly gives her chills then there's silence. Ally doesn't like the feeling she gets from the sudden quietness.
She tries to move but it's like she's glued to the spot. She's trembling and she covers her mouth with her hand to stop her sobs from escaping her mouth.
Ally wants to move but she's frightened at the sight of blood on the ground before her. She wants to throw up and she's slowly getting dizzy.
She bends down, picking up Kira's broken sandal, her hands getting covered in - what she can only assume is Kira's blood - in the process.
The blood has a trail and she's not sure how long it goes or that she wants to find out. So when someone grabs her from behind, she screams as loud as her lungs will allow until she collapses to the ground. Her body shaking involuntarily, tears falling freely.
The arms that capture her small frame and hold her tightly belong to Austin. They both fall to the ground.
Her tears fall down like a waterfall and she hopelessly clings to the blonde trying to find some kind of comfort.
Jace and Dez are kneeled down beside them both within the next amount of seconds.
Dez is the first to notice the blood. His eyes widen as he looks in the direction of the trail. He elbows Jace in the side as Austin continues to console Ally, his fingers rubbing her shoulders.
"You guys okay?" Jace asks, looking over at Dez before he glances back to the couple, obviously still worried.
Austin looks up to the boy, nodding. He looks towards the same direction Dez is walking and looks up at Jace. "Go." He mouths.
Jace hesitates but then gets up and catches up with Dez, disappearing into the woods with the ginger.
Once they're out of sight, Austin whispers to Ally. "Ally, you have to tell me. What happened?"
"K-Kira," She begins, stuttering only slightly. "I couldn't find her. I looked everywhere. I retraced my steps but I couldn't. I kept calling out her name but she wouldn't answer and then I heard her."
"Did you find her? How did you even lose her?" Austin asks.
"I don't know!" She yells. "She was right behind me, I swear. She was calling my name," She sobs into his shirt.
"Saying someone help me and I tried and then suddenly there was silence and I saw the blood everywhere and her shoes. I couldn't move. Austin, the blood. It was everywhere."
Austin looks into her eyes, grabbing her chin by the tip of his finger. "We're gonna find her okay? And she's gonna be fine."
"No," Ally shakes her head. "You don't understand, she was taken."
Austin furrows his eyebrows up at his girlfriend's accusation. "What?"
"She was taken." Ally repeats, wiping her tears.
He sighs, pulling her up with him as he stood. He cups her face in his hands. "Ally. She was not taken. She probably hurt herself. We're gonna find her and she'll be okay."
"Austin," Ally says, with a little more boldness, tears still running down her face. "She did not fucking hurt herself. Someone took her, I'm not crazy. I know what I fucking heard!" She pries his hands off her face.
Austin frowns at Ally. He reaches for her but she backs away. "Ally," He pleads.
"No, Austin." Ally rejects. "I wanna find my friend because someone is trying to hurt her and either you're in or you're out."
"You need sleep." Austin walks towards the brunette but doesn't touch her. "You're clearly unstable right now."
"I am not!" She yells at the blonde. Her eyes blistering red. "I'm just scared for her, okay? I don't..I.." She shakes her head, at a loss for words.
"Baby," He takes a step closer and then another daringly until she goes into his arms. "Jace and Dez are gonna find her. I promise you. We will not leave without her."
"You promise?" Ally questions, her voice cracking. Silent tears still fall from her fragile face as he kisses her hair.
"I promise." He whispers but for both of them it feels like an empty promise.
"You okay?" Austin asks her as he leads her up the porch stairs of the cabin.
Ally nods, walking through the front door where Cassidy and Trish stand with worried looks on their faces.
"You okay?" The two girls ask their friend in unison. "Is that blood?! Ally oh my god, are you okay?!" They both spot the blood splattered all over her hands.
Ally sighs, turning around. "I'm fine." She swallows the lump in her throat.
"I'll let you guys in on everything later. I-I just really need to clean up."
"Are you sure you're fine? You need any help?" Austin asks, right behind her. The look on his face is pained. You can tell he doesn't wanna leave her alone.
"I'm going to shower. Gotta get this blood off of me some way." She sniffles, holding up her hands.
He frowns.
"I'll be fine, Austin." She answers. Ally gives him a sad smile, walking into the bathroom but before she can even close the door; he stops her by grabbing the door.
Ally groans internally but steps aside anyways to let him in.
As he steps inside, she's sliding down against the sink to the floor and for the first time since they've made it back to the cabin, she allows herself to cry for her friend.
Austin's there beside her in the next millisecond but this time he doesn't try to hold her. This time he let's her cry because he knows she needs to let it out.
He just sits there patiently waiting for her permission to pull her into his arms but for now he'll wait.
Fifteen minutes later and the water's running. Not too hot and not too cold.
She's somewhat calmed down and he's helping her pull her shirt over her head in a gradual manner. He drops the shirt to the floor and moves to the button of her jeans, unbuttoning them.
She pulls on the hem of his shirt and he helps her pull it over his own head.
Soon they're both bare and she's breathing in as his fingers skim her arms and they reach her own. He entwines their fingers, gently kissing her temple and pulls her towards the shower.
Before Ally knows it, water's falling down on her face and her body. She feels somewhat normal again. The blood is gone from her hands and all that remains are the visions of what could've happen to Kira and if she's okay. She can't help but cry. Ally feels so weak because it's all she's been able to do now.
She feels guilty. She should've stayed by her side. It's all she can think of.
Then she's crying uncontrollably and she can't stop. The warm shower water getting mixed in with her salty tears. Her sobs are more frequent and louder.
Austin pulls her close to him, praying that she'll be okay and that they'll find Kira. He rubs the soap down her back and scrubs it all off as if he's trying to remove and wash away the pain she's enduring but he knows there's no way he can.
He hates that there's only so little he can do in this situation.
They're all back at the house now and Ally's curled up on the couch with a blanket around her beside Austin and Trish, both of them not daring to leave her alone.
"Did you guys find anything?" Cassidy asks, standing up when Jace and Dez walk into the front room.
Dez gives everyone a sad look, not able to bare the thoughts going through his head at the moment.
"Nope." Jace shrugs in defeat. "We looked as far as we could and it's too dark out to see anything."
"There was no way we'd be able to find her. I'm sorry." Dez says.
"Guys we can't think too negative of this. She's probably off somewhere hurt and we're gonna find her." Carries speaks up.
"She's not hurt." Ally tries to tell them once again. "Someone took her."
Cassidy rolls her eyes. "So what, you think there's someone else out here with us? There's no town for miles."
"Someone could've followed us? I don't fucking know but I know that she was taken. She was screaming like she was being attacked." Ally adds in.
"Ally, you're being delusional." Trent says. "We're gonna find her and she'll be alive. That's my little sister out there and I'm not about to start thinking the worst, okay?"
"Yeah, well you weren't being much of a big brother when we had to stop in the first place." Ally defends her friend.
"How the hell was I supposed to know?" Trent glares at her, his voice getting higher.
"Well guess what, you know now and she's missing and we need to fucking find her." Ally tells him but her eyes show she's really telling everyone in the room.
"There's nothing we can do right now." Dallas tries to inform her. "We all need sleep especially you, Ally."
Ally sighs, nodding in agreement. "But what if she isn't okay? We all saw the blood. Something isn't right."
"We've locked all the doors and windows. We'll be okay if something is wrong." Trish rubs the brunette's shoulder in comfort. "You need sleep."
"We'll go looking for her first thing in the morning?" Ally bites her lip eagerly.
They all nod.
"First thing in the morning." Austin kisses her knuckles, holding her hands in his. "We'll all meet here and head out to look for her. All day if we have to."
"Yeah, Alls. We're not leaving her here."
