Chapter 4

Lina is walking back from class when she hears someone shout her name behind her. She turns around and sees her friend running towards her. Lina smiles instinctively and waves her hand. Her friendly greeting immediately freezes though when she sees tears streaming down her friend's face.

"Rachel, what's wrong!?" Lina screams. She quickly changes direction and runs towards her friend.

"Oh Lina," Rachel whimpers as she collapses in her arms, "They found her. They found Denise."

Lina's throat immediately constricts and she has a hard time forming words.

"W-what happened? Where's Denise?" Lina barely whispers.

Rachel remains silent and only clings tighter to Lina in response.

"Rachel?" Lina chokes as she feels a tear escape her eye.

Rachel shakes her head against Lina's shoulder. Lina hugs her trembling friend tighter as the truth becomes apparent. Denise is gone.
