Chapter Ten

It's Up To Us Now

Nya's Point of View:

"Is it just me, or is it always something with these guys?" I ask. It didn't make anyone laugh, but I'm pretty sure I caught a smile on Jay's face. "Should we just try and find this guy on our own?"

"Definitely," Kai adds. "I mean, they're practically family now and they seem to be trying to help us every time we meet, but I think it's time we help ourselves for once. Zane, read back the report."

We all turned to see Zane pull up his blue hologram screen again and scroll down hastily to locate and open the file containing his report.

"It was eight a.m. when we first woke up and spotted the glass. Dust was being settled down on the surface of it, which means that it was most likely broken five hours prior to when we woke up. There were no finger prints or any other DNA located on the glass and the only evidence we found was the green 'doll hair' strand that was plastered between the floor and a broken shard."

"Anything else?" I asked.

"No. Nothing else that could be useful."

"Well, we've got something at least." Kai noted. "Maybe we could get something out of the foot prints."

I could tell that everyone was in a state of some sort of realization judging by the expressions on their faces.

"Oh God," Kai said while pinching his eyebrows together. "Please tell me you guys did check for foot prints."

"What do you mean 'you guys'?" Jay asked. "You didn't check either."

"It doesn't matter who checked for what, we just need to find out who did this." Lloyd explained.

"Amari knows," I whispered. "Amari knows!" Everyone turned their attention towards me, giving me an 'Are You Going Crazy?' look.

"What are you talking about?" Kai asked.

"She knows! She got up before any of us and left to go find whoever threw the rock. Lexis was with her, too, and she was also sleeping in the kitchen when it happened, which means she could have seen it, too."

"Well that's great and all, but how are we going to go ask them? Amari is definitely pissed off and Lexis just left with her without saying anything."

"She went down the road towards the mountains, the ones where Blaire's waterfall is. If I go down there, maybe I can go talk to her and see what she knows."

"Are you sure you wanna go by yourself?" Jay asked.

"It would be easier," I responded. "I can move and come back quicker."

"So, what are we supposed to do?"

"You guys go back home and see if Megan or Rachel is there. If they're not, go try and find them. They all need to make up one way or another."

"I guess it's settled then. We'll go check." Lloyd assured.

"See you guys later!"

So we all took off in separate directions, hoping that my plan would work, yet I turned back around to grab Cole's arm before he could get farther away from me, "Cole."

He turns to me and looks me straight in the eye, "Yeah, what's up?"

"Look, I know you've known Rachel for a long time. You care about her and you know her well. When you find her, talk to her, okay?"

He looks down with a sigh, "Okay." Then he turns back around and leaves me to go and find Amari and Lexis. I hope things don't get too intense…
