-Fifth chapter-

Krev got the message. He knew that whatever happened to Karen, it wasn't good. He rang Kerri up while rushing off a place he knew she'd walk along. From StarBucks, to school.

"Kerri, Karen's in trouble. Meet at StarBucks in 5." He hung up before a response could be given from the other line.

Krev walked as fast as his legs could go. Soon, he reached StarBucks. He walked towards the direction of school. Halfway, he saw Karen's StarBucks cup and bag. Oh shit. She's in trouble for sure. He thought. Just then, his phone rang incessantly. He picked the line up while running his hand through his hair.

"Hello? Krev. I'm at StarBucks. Where are you?"

"Kerri, walk to the direction of school. Now."

"Alright. I'll be there ASAP."

They knew they were late for school already. But when friends are involved, nothing, absolutely nothing, will get in their way. Soon, Kerri found Krev. She looked at the concrete floor. She saw Karen's belongings and the worst thoughts came to her mind. Tears filled her eyes, threatening to spill. But she can't cry, and she won't cry. They have to find Karen. Meanwhile, Karen awoke. She looked around, observing her surroundings. She was tied to a chair. It was a cellar. She tried breaking free from the rough ropes, but all they did was cut her skin. She couldn't speak, a tape was placed over her mouth. She gave out muffled groans, in hope of someone with strong hearing senses to come save her. Yeah, she knows it will not happen. That's when she saw something move. But it was on the wall, and it seemed like a shadow. But no one was in the room.

Karen heard footsteps. She heard the stairs creaking. She knew, it had to be the guy who got her here. And whatever he wanted, she won't like it. She turned to the end of the stairs. First, a leg can be seen, then the arms, following by the whole person standing in front of her. Her eyes widened in sheer horror. The guy gave her a smirk and ripped the tape off.

"Lucas?"

"Hi, Karen. Long time no see. Just a...short visit. You'll no longer be here to chat after this."

"What do you mean? I've done nothing to you! And I'm only 13! You should spare me for God's sake! Have a conscious!"

"Karen, Karen, Karen. You're 13, and I'm 18. So YOU should listen to ME. I do have a conscious. And it's telling me to end you. I loved your sister, Keva. And you caused her death. How can I forgive you for that?"

Karen shook her head vigorously. No, no, I didn't.

"I DID NOT CAUSE HER DEATH! Stop it. I didn't, I didn't. It was an accident."

"No it wasn't, Karen. And you know it. I'll see you later. Re-mem-ber. Then you'll want to die."

Karen shook her head as tears spilled. That day...

Can one flashback kill Karen? Can one mistake do so? Or will someone save her?

QOTC: What are your thoughts on school?
AOTC: I like school. It helps me gain knowledge. I've got pretty cool friends too. But school is strict. There are lots of rules. Other than that, school has made a huge impact on me.
