Shane's POV
By 1am police arrived and the whole camp was awake. We were all gathered inside the mess hall to let the campers know what is happening, but I couldn't listen to that. I could only think about Mitchie and how she is feeling right now. Is she safe and alright or is she...dead? My heart ached at the thought of Mitchie not being alive, I didn't want her last thoughts to have been that I hated her. I know I didn't want to talk to her then but that didn't mean I hate her. Right? I just hope she comes back so I can tell her how I really feel.
Brown and the police started walking through the woods surrounding the camp. I really wish I could go with them but on Brown's orders I had to stay on camp which I find extremely difficult. I just want to talk to Mitchie and I can't until the police find her. I just really hope she is safe, in the meantime I guess I'll just focus on my classes and finding the girl with the voice.
Mitchie's POV
I've been lost for a few hours now, I don't know how much time has past and I wonder if anyone has even noticed that I have gone. I bet nobody besides my mother have noticed. I lied about who I was so no one would care. Especially Shane.
I decide that I'm too tired to continue on so I sit down on the ground next to a tree and cuddle up to it to try and get comfortable. Soon I'm asleep and all I can hear is the rustle of the trees, no lake, no camp fires and no campers.
Shane's POV
I'm sitting on my bed, wide awake. I can't help sleep because for some reason my mind won't stop worrying about Mitchie. It's only been an hour since the police started and the police and Brown came back because it's too dark to go through the bush and that they'll continue in the morning. I didn't care about that, I just felt so bad for Mitchie and how she must be so frightened and cold. Even though she lied to the camp about who she is doesn't mean she deserves to be lost in the woods.
Maybe in the afternoon I can convince Brown to let me help because I have no classes (I only teach a class during the morning and just after lunch, never after that.). For the meantime I need to sleep to be able to teach said classes, so I put my music on softly, so not to disturb the campers, and slowly but surely I drift off to sleep.
I know that was a bit short but I promise the next chapter will be longer. I hope you are enjoying it so far and please remember to share and to follow me in case you aren't already. :) thank you again for reading you guys are the BEST!
