Chapter Six

Amber's POV

"Nina, shut your phone off…" I murmured, throwing the covers back over me. My phone was dead, so it had to be hers.

That's when I remembered she wasmissing; she couldn't pick up the phone. So I slowly moved the covers away, and sat up, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. Who would be calling her so late at night? I knew that her American friends knew she was here, so they wouldn't call this late. And none of us here would call her. Her Gran also knew better.

I leaped to my feet, and bounced over to Nina's desk, taking a peek at her phone. It began to blink on and off, and a static noise started, becoming louder and louder with each passing second.

What the heck was wrong with her phone? This couldn't be a call; I knew Nina's buzz tone! And it definitely did not sound like a broken television, or anything else! Was it maybe a clue towards her disappearance?

I decided it was best to show Fabian, so I grabbed the phone;andput my hand over the speaker so the noise died down. If I was going to get past Victor's office unnoticed, I was going to have to be super quiet. I swore he had ears like a hawk, he could sense things from a mile away.

After glancing left and right, I entered the hallway. I knew nobody was up, it was way too early. I should be asleep too, but Nina's stupid phone decided to have a seizure. It was still making the static noise, as well as blinking. What was it, hexed?

That automatically reminded of when Nina hexed everyone. Fabian lost his memory, Alfie became a baby, Patricia lost her voice, and I became old. That was a nightmare; there were so many crinkles on my face! A gallon of moisturizer wasn't enough to fix it!

When I got towards Victor's office, I was glad he was asleep. I easily slipped past his office unnoticed, and glided down the stairs. It only took me about twelve seconds to get to Fabian's door. Perfect, unnoticed! Amber, you are a genius!

I brought Nina's phone up to my eyes, it was continuing to have its seizure. I pounded my fist on Fabian's door, and waited for one of the three boys to come out. I just hoped Fabian was the one that came to the door, so I wouldn't have to explain what was going on to Mick and Eddie. Neither of them knew about Sibuna, despite Eddie being the Osirian. He was focusing more on his relationship with Patricia. I thought that was so sweet, this is why I shipped Peddie!

Okay Amber, focus.

After waiting about a minute, I brought my fist back to the door, and knocked loudly.

"Coming!" A voice mumbled from the other side, sleepiness obviously coaxing their voice. I wasn't sure which of the boys had said it, they were too quiet.

The phone suddenly let out a soft scream, and I screamed with it, dropping it. The door immediately swung open, and someone's hand grabbed the phone.

To my luck, it was Fabian.

"Amber? What's going on?" Fabian whispered tiredly, before gazing at the phone. He closed the door gently behind him, making sure not to make any noise.

I handed him the phone, and his face turned to one of confusion when he took it, trying to figure out what was wrong with it. He then nearly dropped it himself when it screamed again. I covered my ears- how was nobody else hearing this? It was so loud!

Well, nobody heard Nina's scream either. Maybe we were all just heavy-sleepers.

"What the heck, Amber? Is this Nina's phone?" Fabian questioned, once it went back to the static noise. I nodded, slowly moving my hands from my ears. I hope it doesn'tscream again, it was beginning to give me a headache!

Suddenly, the phone screenwent completely black,andthen flickered on, and a loud laugh came from it. Soon, a hooded man was visible. You couldn't see anything on his face, other than his mouth. You could see a smirk forming, and he stepped back. It was a video feed.

I could see Fabian starting to glare at the screen.

Was that the man who took Nina? She said it was "Ahooded man,"maybe this was the guy!

"What do you want? Where is Nina?" Fabian sneered, tightening his grip on the phone. The man on the other end only snickered, and moved his camera, revealing Nina lying on the floor. She was sound asleep, but there was a pile of blood on the floor, near her head.

What was this creep doing to my best friend?

"Let her go!" Fabian yelled harshly, but he managed to keep his voice down. His face was twisted with dark anger, as if he was ready to stick his hand into the phone, and strangle the man holding Nina captive. It scared me a bit, he never looked so… Threatening.

The man didn't say a single word yet, only laughing at Fabian's angry pleads.

How did he even manage to hack Nina's phone? Did he do it when he took her?

"I don't think you're in any place to boss me around, Rutter." The man finally spoke, his voice as sinister as Fabian's expression. How did he know Fabian's last name? Did he know all of us already? If he really was stalking Nina like she thought, did he stalk us as well?

"How do you know my name?" Fabian barked, still trying to manage his voice volume. I couldn't understand how he was dealing with this, I couldn't bare it if Alfie was taken. He had become my everything; I wouldn't stand to see him gone.

"It's not that hard to figure out," The man stated coldly, fixing the camera back so it was completely on him. "This video is just to tell you, the worst hasn't even begun."

The video began to start fading out, and I could tell Fabian was ready to smash the phone against the wall. What did he mean, 'The worst hasn't even begun'? What was this to him, a game?

"What is your name? Why are you doing this?" I shouted, ready for answers. He wasn't giving us anything, but yet I could tell he wanted us to bea part of this!

"Mr. A." He whispered, before the video vanished completely, leaving us with nearly nothing.


You just imagine the frustration of this, being able to see everything, but not do anything. I would be so mad, all the fury that I never showed, just bursting out of me. I don't get angry very much, like Fabian, but if I do, I get the feeling to punch the wall. It's just how I work. I imagine Fabian sometimes works that way as well.
