Chapter 9
I had felt bad about the way I snapped at Simon but he couldn't blame me right now. I was so worried about Chloe that I could think straight. Later I went back to find him; when I did find him I realized he was already back at the hotel; he was also ignoring me. We all sat down to grab a bite to eat and discuss how we were going to find Chloe. At first there was an annoying silence between everyone including Simon and Tori who were usually arguing, without Chloe here everybody just seamed kind of depressed.
I know they could tell that I was depressed, moping around in what Simon called as my 'lost puppy' state. Dad finely got the discussion by saying we would fallow Chloe's sent north and see where that leads us. I had barely touched my pizza and I could see the others giving me symptomatic looks as I lightly picked at a piece of pepperoni. Chloe; my Chloe was out there all alone.
I buried my face in my hands, then slowly got up from the table and went back outside. I leaned up against the railing overlooking the parking lot and breathed out a sigh. I heard the door open and close behind me, and then Simon came up and stood beside me also leaning against the railing. "Bro don't worry we will find her," I gave a half-hearted shrug and found something really interesting to pick at on the railing.
Simon sighed and turned to go back inside. "Hey Simon," I called. He snapped his attention to me with a questioning look. "Yeah," He said. I struggled to find the right words, "Uh, about earlier when I…um snapped at you I erm-." He cut me off, "D don't worry about it. I know that you didn't mean it your just worried about Chloe." I gave him a fake smile which I know he saw right through it. He went back inside leaving me alone with my thoughts.

I ducked behind an old junk yard car; in the distance I could see a group of men sitting around a fire pit in the middle of the trailer park. Liz was scouting for me again she had came back a few minutes ago saying that there was no sign of Rae or her mom anywhere I sent her back just to make sure. Turns out I didn't need Liz to find Rae and her mom because one of the men stood up and said, "Well what do we have here."
A tall slim African American woman was led into the circle with two werewolves on each side. "There was a younger girl but she got away, probably a supernatural," one of the men on her left grunted. Out of the corner of my eye I could see the outline of a person in the distance; peering out behind a trailer. I watched the figure trying to decide if it was a ghost or a real person. "Chloe," a voice hissed in my ear.
I let out a small screech and fell backwards. Liz leaned over me her expression clouded with worry. I sat up rubbing my head, "Thanks," I said sarcastically. I glanced at the pack of werewolves and gasped, some were coming this way. Liz turned to see what I was looking at a hissed, "Hide." I ducked under a set of porch steps. I watched the boots of two men that where circling we're I had been moments ago.
"Another one," one grunted. "She could have gone far; you stay here and search I go tell the rest of the guys and they'll search around the park." I heard a grunted response and footsteps walking in the other direction. The other footsteps however stopped right in front of the spot where I was hiding, and I knew I was in for it.
