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.

"You sure there's no spares in the house or the other cars?" Austin asks Dez, he leans against the hood of his car.
"Nah, man. I didn't think we'd need spares. We weren't going anywhere for the next six days, so." Dez shrugs, an apologetic look on his face.
"Yeah and I was gonna replace my spares when I got back home." Dallas adds in. "Sorry, man."
"Who the hell would do something like this?" Austin crouches down to the front of the car. Both of the front tires were completely slashed.
"Whoever took Kira, maybe?" Ally suggests, walking up to his car and stopping right beside him.
Austin sighs in annoyance, looking up. His girlfriend's accusations slowly starting to irritate him. "Can you drop the whole someone took Kira thing for just a second?"
"Austin, no." She retorts. "Someone took her, you know it and you saw the ice pick." She crosses her arms.
"I don't know a thing," He states. "For all we know she could just be lost." He stands up, the ice pick in his hand.
"I guess I'm just crazy? I don't know what I'm talking about? There was fucking blood for heaven's sake. You all saw it." Ally reminds them.
"I know what we saw but no one took her." Austin shakes his head. "We're out here alone."
"Oh what so now you don't believe me?" Ally furrows her eyebrows up in disbelief.
"Alls, it's not that. It's just that-" Austin begins but he's cut off.
"You told me you believed me." Ally bites down on her bottom lip to stop herself from crying. Her lip quivers slightly but she doesn't allow a tear to fall. She doesn't wanna give her emotions the satisfaction.
Austin gives her a sad look and reaches for her but Ally backs away.
She takes a few more steps back. "I'll be in the house." And before he can even think of what to say to her, she's turning around and walking back into the cabin.
Austin stands there and groans inaudibly at how insensitive he was being to her feelings but he couldn't help it. Everything that was going on, it was all happening so fast. He couldn't keep up.
"I'll call you a tow truck later but right now we need to head out to start looking for Kira." Trent says.
Austin nods. "Let's go."
"She could be anywhere out here. It'll take us forever to find her." Cassidy looks around.
"She's right. We have all day but there's no way we'll find her if we're all together." Dez points out.
Ally is quick to oppose. "No, we are not splitting up just for another one of us to go missing." She tries to get the idea out of their heads.
"Ally, we have to." Austin looks over at the petite girl. "It's the only way." His eyes bore into hers.
Ally stares right back at him but her face shows a deathly glare towards her boyfriend. "We shouldn't."
Austin's gaze fixates on hers for a few more seconds before he turns away from her. "Trent, Cassidy and Jace, you're all together. Carrie, Trish and Dallas you're all together."
Everyone nods and seven minutes later everyone starts to head off in different directions. They plan to meet back at the same exact spot they left in exactly four hours.
Ally gapes, as her, Dez and Austin begin to venture off. "You can't be serious? This isn't safe, Austin."
Austin rolls his eyes, stopping and looks back. He takes careful steps closer to the brunette and cups her small face in his calloused palms. "Trust me on this okay?"
Ally hesitates for a second before finally giving in. She closes her eyes, breathing in for a second and then she pries his hands off of her face. "Fine."
"Guys come on! You can be all touchy feely later." Dez yells to his friends, already ahead of the couple.
Soon they're both behind him and they're all screaming Kira's name in hopes of finding something.

"Kira?" Trent yells as loud as he can, his hope for finding his sister slowly fading.
They've been out here for nearly three hours (although it feels like days in his mind) and the thoughts going through his head at the moment aren't exactly his favorite.
"Fuck!" He screams, stopping and banging his hand against the bark of a nearby tree. "Fuck, fuck, fuck!"
Cassidy's by his side within the next second followed by Jace. "We're gonna find her, I promise."
Trent shakes his head in denial. "No, we're not gonna find her because she's gone."
Jace sighs and grabs Trent's arm pulling him away from the tree. "Stop fucking thinking like that, Trent. You said it yourself you weren't going to."
"We've been out here for hours. If she was out here we would've found her by now. I can't help but think the worse." Trent says, tears falling from his eyes.
"You think she's hurt?" Cassidy asks.
"I know she is. It's like I can feel it. I don't know it sounds crazy but I feel like she's hurt really bad." Trent shakes his head, as he paces gradually.
"We need to keep walking so we can head back to meet up with everyone." Jace says.
"Yeah, c'mon Trent. I promise you we're gonna file a missing person's report." Cassidy agrees, as she tugs on Trent but he's too focused on something in the bushes of trees ahead of him.
Jace stops walking to look back at what's stopping his friends from following behind him. "What's wrong?"
Cassidy looks back at Jace. "I don't know. He's looking at something."
He takes a few steps forward closer to get a closer look at what's so interesting that it's caught their undivided attention.
"Tell me I'm not the only who sees the puddle of blood." Trent questions, breaking the short silence.
"No...I see it too." Cassidy lets go of his arm. "But where is it coming from?" The girl looks around but there's no hint of blood anywhere else.
"Uh guys..." Jace suddenly speaks up. Trent and Cassidy look back and arch their eyebrows at their friend and he points upward towards the limb of the tree above their heads.
What they all see nearly makes their hearts drop but it succeeds in making their skin crawl.
"No, no, no." Trent whispers to himself. "This can't be real."
"Oh my god." Cassidy says, looking up - covering her mouth. Her eyes wide and her body trembling. "Oh my god.."
"Wait guys," Ally throws her hands up in defeat. "There's no way she can be out here. We've looked literally everywhere."
"What happened to staying positive?" Dez arches an eyebrow.
"I know I'm sorry but I can't. There's only one explanation.." She shrugs.
Austin walks up behind Dez. "You still think someone took her." He finishes her statement.
Ally rolls her eyes looking over at the blonde. "No. I know someone took her. I thought you knew the same thing too. Guess not."
Austin scoffs. "I did but after everything that's happened, I don't know what the hell to believe."
Dez quickly senses the sudden tension in the air between the two and steps back. "Yeah I'll be over there."
"No Dez, don't. We're finish here." She looks away from Austin and towards the ginger. "It's about time we headed back."
Dez nods. "Yeah, let's go." His gaze moves over to his other best friend. Austin nods his head for him to go ahead without them.
Dez gets the hint and begins to walk off. Ally tries to follows suit but before she can even make a simple step, Austin grabs her hand and pulls her to him.
He then slowly backs her up against a tree causing her to gasp.
"I really don't like you being mad at me.." Austin places his hands above her head onto the tree and leans his forehead against her own.
"It's not my fault you're being an ass." She grumbles, pouting.
"Stop it," Austin kisses her on the lips lightly, playfully tugging on her pouty lip. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said what I said."
Ally sighs and presses her hands to his chest. "It's okay,"
Austin smiles and rubs her cheek. "I love you."
Ally laughs lightly and he kisses her nose gently before grabbing her hand. He entwines their fingers and they start to walk off in order to catch up with Dez.
Before they can even make it there the ginger is running towards them and they hear screaming. Really loud screaming.
"Guys..I think you need to see this.." He tells the couple and their eyes widen.
Ally lets go of her boyfriend's hand for a second. "What's wrong?"
"I think it's better if you see it for yourself." Dez informs them before turning around and directing them in the direction of the screams.
Ally starts to run ahead of them both. Her heart racing, hoping that this isn't about what she thinks it's about.
She suddenly halts. Her friends are all there and she's looking around completely confused by the traumatized like looks on their faces.
When she finally looks up, she understands the horror she saw in their eyes. Why they wouldn't face forward.
No. No. No.
Ally screams almost immediately. Her worst nightmares coming true.
She turns and falls into whoever arms are nearby, not being able to bare the sight any longer.
The tears that burn her eyes can't be stopped and they stain the blonde('s) holding her shirt.
Austin's bewildered by the girl's sudden actions until he looks up himself.
What he sees...it's vile.
It's Kira. Well at least part of her. She's completely decapitated.
Her head hangs from a rope tied to the limb of the tall tree. The uneasy feeling Austin gets in his stomach makes him wanna vomit but he can't stop staring.
It's like his eyes are frozen on the ungodly sight. Who would do something like this to someone so innocent he doesn't understand himself.
All he can think is someone's out here with them. And they're here with a purpose.
So Kira's dead...and her body parts are missing. That's really fucked up, right? Austin finally believes Ally. Too bad it's kinda too late for that now because someone just killed their friend. If it was me, I wouldn't have gone out into the woods in the first place. I don't fuck with scary stuff... (Yes I do.) Give me your thoughts and ha, reviews would be really great!
