Leah gawked at Lindsey before landing on the bed causing the springs of the old bed to moan.
‘You’ve got to be kidding me.’ Leah groaned.
‘No, this is insane. Or I’m dreaming but this isn’t happening. Where’s the other girl that’s supposed to be Leah, who is she?’ Lindsey blasted.
‘Oh Libby’s probably washing up.’ Cami said.
‘Libby?’ Lindsey asked.
The door opposite the room opened and a tall slender girl walked out. There was no remnant of the girl with matted hair and jaded eyes. Her ugly cardigan was gone probably never to be worn again. Her curls had bounced back from their terrible matted state and had been tamed into a wet bun on top of her head. Her long legs showed memories of old scars and pictures of new ones. She walked the s

‘Dinner’s almost ready. You’ll have to eat in your room tonight girls. Just for today, don’t worry.’ Cami said, as she stood. She caressed Libby’s arm on her way out. Libby turned to leave but Lindsey called her back. ‘Libby, you can’t seriously be okay with this.’ Lindsey hissed. Libby dipped her head and rolled her eyes, her eyes livelier than they’ve ever been since Lindsey met her. ‘Home, family? I don’t see what’s so bad about it.’ ‘Kidnapping, criminals, jail! Everything that is horrible!’ Leah burst out. Libby scrawled, ‘No one’s going to jail. Mom isn’t doing anything wrong.’ Lindsey cringed at the word mom. How long had they been together to be so close for Libby to even be calling Cami mom? ‘She’s locked us up. People are going to come looking…’ ‘You’re the ones that are going to ruin everything.’ Libby snapped, cutting Lindsey off. Lindsey shrunk back. Libby scrawled at them before she slammed the doo

‘Does it look like there’s any indentations?’ Serge asked Marco.The drone had just finished surveying the entire forest which took it a good thirty minutes.‘Yeah, bro looks like some underground shafts.’ Marco said.‘They couldn’t be living underground.’ Clem said.‘Totally possible. There are just too many of them.’ Marco said.‘We’ll need a massive search party,’ Jordan sighed. Jordan peered over Marco’s screen and saw the entire forest mapped out.‘So, we have a chance?’ Jordan asked, hope burned in her soul for the first time in months.‘Yeah, but we better act quickly in case they move on.’ Serge said.‘You want a copy to give to the police?’ Marco asked.Serge nodded. ‘Yes, and a personal one. I want to explore the woods too.’Marco pulled out a flash drive and handed it out to his cousin. ‘Good luck bro.’***‘A new day girls. It’ll be a long day of driving too.’ Cami said from outside the door.Lindsey stared at Leah who stared back.‘It’ll be okay.’ Lindsey said.‘I hope so

“What were you thinking?!” Leah blasted.“I froze.” Libby said.“Ugh, clearly.” Leah snapped.“Come on guys, we have to find a way out of here. They’re right behind us.” Lindsey stood, her hand still gripping Libby’s wrist.It felt worse than a maze at night.Leah swallowed, “How? We’re trapped by a bunch of trees.”“Libby… you’ve been in these woods the longest. Where do we go.”“I-I… I think we follow the little footpath. Yes, we have to find it. It’s almost invisible we have to be careful.”“Are you sure?” Leah asked.Libby nodded, “Yes, Frank told me so.”“Girls! What the hell are you doing!” Cami blasted.“We’ll find them.” Frank said.“Come on guys, we have to hurry.” Leah hissed.“We don’t know if they have any weapons.” Lindsey said, hauling Libby along.“Frank has a shot gun.” Libby said.Leah groaned, “This keeps getting better and better.” Cami and Frank’s voices got closer, but there was nowhere to hide. The boney stems on the thousand trees holding them hostage were bar

After calling the police, Leah was rushed straight to the hospital. Lindsey had been checked out too, but it was Leah in the more concerning condition. Lindsey hadn’t stopped shaking despite Serge’s embrace keeping her warm.Her parents, Jordan, Clem, Dylan and Leah’s parents were all in the waiting room at the hospital while Detective Luther and his squad searched for the third girl who had her face.“We should go honey, you should rest.” Margaret rubbed her daughter’s back.Lindsey shook her head, “No, I need to make sure Leah’s okay.”“She’ll be fine baby. She’s in good hands.” Trey said.Lindsey looked across the room where Serge stood next to Dylan. The outcast boyfriends. Serge offered her a small smile and little nod.Even if she went home she wouldn’t be able to sleep because she lost her other sister. Gosh, what would Cami do to Libby? She felt horrible, she was the one who convinced Libby to run, but there was no way she was going to leave her with Cami and her latest boyfri

Lindsey stayed with her sister while she ate until she fell asleep. She excused herself from the room, telling Leah’s parents she would be back in a couple of hours. In actual fact Lindsey was going to cook up her plan to save Libby which meant she would be gone a lot longer.“Oh, there you are. Want to get a bite to eat?” Lindsey’s mom asked.Lindsey stopped in her tracked. Shoot, she thought to herself. She needed to ditch her parents if her plan was going to go anywhere. There was no way they were going to let her do anything alone after what happened especially since Cami and her partner were still in the wind.Trey and Margaret booth stood from the waiting chairs. The wheels in Lindsey’s head quickly turned. She was hoping to meet Cami while it was still day light.“Why don’t you guys go ahead, I’ll grab something from the cafeteria and come back here.”Her parents shared a look. In true fashion her parents reacted the way she expected them to.“Oh, honey we don’t need to go anyw

After an awkward yet delicious meal with her family, Lindsey was glad to whisk her boyfriend away. With her disturbing phone call with Cami Lindsey couldn’t even concentrate on the food. Marg was an amazing cook and thank goodness too that’s why Clem didn’t contribute to making things more awkward for Lindsey.Her mom loved Serge and he was quite the charmer, but Trey wasn’t having any of it. He especially didn’t like to hear that Serge and his cousin lived alone most of the time. When they went upstairs so they could talk Trey blasted that he wanted all doors and windows open.“Listen, I don’t like your plan babe.” Serge said.Lindsey sat on her bench by the window. She stared out at the massive black forest that spread out for miles. All she could think about were those hollow trees and how her sister was somewhere in them.“I didn’t expect you too.”Serge groaned. He got up from the edged of her bed and sat down beside her on the bed. Her grabbed her hands and gripped them, but in

“So no one has one of those tiny recording devices? Or ear pieces. Those could come in handy right now.” Jordan asked from the back seat of Serge’s car.They were in the hospital parking lot trying to figure out how their plan was going to pan out.“Well, we don’t have any of those.” Clem grumbled.“We still need to communicate. Does anyone know where we can get walkie-talkies?”The boys groaned.“She’s right we need gadgets. At least to help us communicate. Walkie-talkies wouldn’t be so bad.” Lindsey beamed as if her heart wasn’t racing from what she was about to do.“The police would have been better equipped.” Serge mumbled.Lindsey frowned at him, “Serge.”He raised his hands, “Yes, I know. Sorry.”Lindsey said then looked at her friend then brother. A thought came to mind. “I don’t think we should tell Leah about this.”“I second that.” Jordan said.“Why not? Doesn’t she want to be in on her sister’s rescue mission. Still can’t believe there’s three of you.” Clem grumbled. “One w

“I don’t understand. You know I’m Lindsey. I thought you were here for Leah.” Lindsey yelled from the back seat of the junk infested backseat.“You girls so predictable. Your mama was right.”Lindsey scrawled. If it weren’t for the knife she would have bolted out of the parking lot. But Frank forced her into the car and bound her hands with a pair of old pantyhose. Why did he even have these?! They made Lindsey recoil.At least she was on her way to Libby. They could come up with a plan together. Now that she was in the car driving towards the cabin she could see the route they took. Only they weren’t going to the forest. Frank left the opening to Hollow Cove woods behind and kept driving.“Where are we going?” Lindsey asked.He wasn’t going rogue, was he? He chuckled and it didn’t give her a nice feeling.“You’ll see. Just sit tight.”That was hard to do. The town kept moving, waving goodbye. Fear swelled up inside her chest more than regret. She meant to save Libby and if it meant g

Six months later. Libby and Lindsey were found in the morning. Leah burst through the attic door and found her other halves sound asleep in a wardrobe like little kids hiding after a bad dream. She couldn’t resist but join them. “Can’t believe you guys had a sleep over without me.” Leah said. They giggled until silence came over them. “I think Cami’s dead.” Lindsey confessed. “No, the police grabbed her about a mile from here. She’s beaten up but she’ll live.” The girls embraced just as they embraced each other in their lives. Lindsey managed to convince her parents not to leave Hollow Cove because there was a lot worth fighting for there. Libby moved in with Marg and Trey who were undergoing the process to legally adopt her, but she committed herself into rehab where she got the help she needed. Cami was locked up and was going to stay hidden away for a very long time. “Our six month anniversary is coming up.” Serge said to Lindsey. Lindsey and Serge, Dylan and Leah were on a

Lindsey, Libby and Cami watched as Frank’s junk filled car disappeared into the distance. It was sometime in the afternoon and the sun was slowly leaving them. It would be dark soon.“Mind untying us so we can go home?” Lindsey held out her wrists.Cami sneered at her. “You may have a place to go Lindsey, but Libby here doesn’t have a place to on this earth.”“That’s not true! Libby has me and Leah and my mom Margaret who would love to have another daughter.”Cami rolled her eyes, “Marg isn’t all that. I was the popular one, the pretty one. Everyone wanted to be my friend not hers. I don’t see why you like her so much.”“For one she never abandoned me!”Cami waved her away, looking at the road for which way to go next. “You think if I had been right I would have abandoned you girls?”“I don’t think you remember what it means to be right.” Libby muttered.Cami glared at her, “Remember who’s side your own baby girl. Because in a few hours you’re going to need your fix and only I can giv

She just couldn’t catch a break could she? At six in the morning Jordan got a call from Celeste asking her if Leah was at her place. Leah had been discharged yesterday morning. The day after Lindsey had gone missing. They still had no clue where she was, but the phones at the station was ringing off the hook with sightings and tips all leading to trails gone cold.Now Leah was missing again? Jordan couldn’t go back to sleep after that call. Even though Celeste told her not to worry and that Leah would turn up. How had she left the house without anyone noticing? There were cops outside her house and no one saw her leave?She hadn’t told her parents where she was going when she left the house. In fact, they were both asleep when she walked out the front door at seven in the morning. Leah was still hurting about Lindsey running off to save Libby then getting caught. She felt like Lindsey had abandoned her. Jordan was there when Luther asked her a bunch of question, plenty which she could

Vanished again. Now it was like Camille was taunting him, telling him that he would never catch her. She’d been under his nose this whole time. Keeping her secrets like treasure to her chest. She’d sprung a surprise on the sleepy town. Not one girl, not even two, but three girls who shared the same face and Luther Montgomery hadn’t been able to bring them all home. There was always one left. Now he had one of them safe in the hospital when two of them were in the wind. He didn’t know what to think, but his mission would remain the same he had to bring them home. He wasn’t sure how much he could trust the third girl in all this. From what Lindsey told him she had aided their birth mother in luring Lindsey in, what if she did the same this time? His men scooped out the hospital, questioning staff members and those visiting the hospital. His partner was asking to see the camera footage. He’d be damned his they weren’t working. He spoke to the kids he was pissed to say the least, but at
