Mandi wasn't sure what woke her up. She had been lying on her bedside mattress, that Tyler had given her after the four girls went to bed, earlier.

Something was wrong. Okay, so that much she knew. What was wrong though, was something she couldn't quite figure out. She was still lying down, Brittany to one side of her, April to the other. So, that was okay. And she could see Karina's curly hair poking out from the other side of Brittany.

She sat up, to look over at Tyler's bed. The blanket, Tyler had been laying under was gone.

And so was Tyler.

Don't panic. she told herself, sternly. Tyler probably went up to get a glass of water. And it's cold so she probably took her blanket with her.

But nearly a half hour passed, and Tyler didn't come back. Nor, did Mandi hear any sounds coming from upstairs. And a glance to her phone, showed that it was way too early for anyone to be getting up.

She sat up, and glanced around the room, just to make sure that Tyler hadn't crawled onto the floor to sleep. She hadn't.

"Brittany!" she whispered, shaking the blonde, next to her. Brittany moaned, and slapped her hands away. "Brittany! It's an emergancy!"

She heard Brittany sigh, and then, the girl turned to face her friend. "What's wrong?" she asked, rubbing her eyes.

Karina arroused, as well, sat up, and looked at Mandi a bit worridly. Both had irritaion in their eyes, obviously not being morning people. Which wasn't surprising considering that they had always been people of the night.

"Tyler isn't here!" Mandi whispered, hurridly.

Brittany moaned, and pulled the covers over her head. "That's what you woke me up for? She's probably going to the bathroom."

"But, Brittany, she hasn't been back in over thirty minutes! And... it smells funky in here."

Brittany sniffed the air, softly, as if just to humor her, then sat up, panic replacing everything in her eyes. "Get me my phone." she held out her hand.

"Who're you gonna call?"

"Fern. Give it to me, and wake April. Whoever took her, might still be here."

Mandi did as she was told, then her, April, and Karina huddled in a corner as Brittany hurridly talked to her boyfriend over the phone.

She turned to face the three girls. "Him, and Robin will be here in a few." she said. "Listen, girls, Tyler's parents can't know what's happened until after they leave."

There was such a comanding aura around her, that none of the girls dared to ask why. All Mandi knew was, was that Brittany knew what she was doing.

And, that if she was right, Tyler may be in grave danger.
