Hey, guys. Sorry for not updating sooner, but I have now started three new stories (one on another account: Dragonnerd4ever), and sadly won't be able to update quite as much as I used to. I'm sorry that it's so short this time, and I promise I'll update more as soon as I can. Enjoy this chapter!

Hiro's P.O.V.

After we got done with the movie called Rise of the Guardians and How to Train Your Dragon again, it was almost two in the morning. Erika's mom was already in bed, and so was Aaron. Man, that kid was out like a light as soon as his head hit the pillow. I was there. I saw it with my own two eyes.

After Erika was done putting him down, we distributed into our own rooms, and quickly got into bed. We could barely keep our eyes open.

Well, that is, everyone except me.

I had learned my lesson about walking around town without anyone there with me, so I decided to stay in the house. Instead, I found a small laptop in one of Erika's drawers. I silently took it out, and ventured into the living room so I wouldn't disturb her. Or not get caught. Either one works.

I turned it on, and, being Erika, she didn't have a password. If I were her, I'd put a password on it just so it was safe. But I can't tell her that. Then she'd know I'd been snooping. And that's not going to get me any brownie points with her if she knows that.

I logged on, and immediately a bunch of pictures came up. Some were weird, like, sayings and lyrics and stuff like that. I obviously didn't listen to the same music she did, so I didn't know who this 'Taylor Swift' or 'Fall Out Boy' was, so I just scrolled past. After I did, something caught my eye. I scrolled back to the top, and there it was.

Me.

Me. Wasabi. Honey. Gogo. Fred . . . Tadashi?

Our pictures, lined in a perfect vertical line, were on this page. Tumblr. What kind of name is that?

I kept scrolling. Was she a stalker or something? She certainly didn't act like one. Especially the way she criticized herself.

He kept scrolling, and eventually relented. He didn't even find anything interesting. It was all just pictures, weird and not, to him. He didn't even know what he was looking for in the first place.

He slowly turned off the computer, and as his eyes got used to the darkness, he saw a figure. The same figure.

"Hello, Hiro. Are you happy to see me yet again?"

Erika's P.O.V.

I was in a dead sleep when I heard a scream. I woke with a start, chilled to the bone, even if it was almost 80 degrees in my room. No matter what I did, that's what it was always at. I couldn't get the temperature to change, but I guess I didn't have to. I was already chilled.

Apparently I got out to the room first, because no one else was there. I figured that Hiro would've been there with me, but as everyone else joined me, there only one person missing. Hiro.

I looked around, and noticed a small light from the corner of the room. I reached it, and held up my computer. On it, was by far the creepiest picture I'd ever seen.

It was a picture of Hiro, his (best-looking) official photo, and it had two red lines across it, forming an X right over his face.

I handed the computer to my mother, of which had decided to join us, too.

I turned on the lights, letting everyone else see what evidence had been left. Pillows were littered everywhere, and there was something red on the floor in a puddle, and I hate to say that it looked like blood. I ran back to my room to get my camera from the same drawer my laptop was in, and came back out. I snapped pictures of everything; the puddle, the laptop picture, the pillows, and just the room in general. I wasn't going to take any chances when it came to saving Hiro.

After I was done, we all went back to bed, since it was almost four in the morning now, deciding to sleep until ten. I didn't protest, and they didn't question my strange behavior. After everyone had gone back to bed, and I heard snoring coming from every room that was occupied, I sighed. We were never going to find Hiro if we slept right through his kidnapping.

I opened the glass door that was attached the mess to the outside. I stepped out into the cool spring air. I needed a walk around my yard to think of a plan. I couldn't sleep, anyways, knowing that Hiro was somewhere unsafe with no one there to help him.

I had walked around half of my huge backyard, and stopped only when I came back to the door. Something glistened from underneath the deck, catching my eye.

I leaned down, and as I did, the moonlight spread even farther under the deck, revealing something I was NEVER expecting.

"Hiro?"
