An hour after the whole rudeness of the two ladies, me and the girls went shopping along with Michael. You'd think Michael would be third wheeling us girls but nope, he was helping us by telling us his opinion on clothes and other necessities.

So far I haven't gotten much. Just a pair of boots and another rose necklace I really liked. We also went into Victoria's Secret and got some lingerie, not my idea though. None of us saw each other in anything because the couple wanted it to be a surprise for ' later ' and then I'm just not comfortable with my body. The only one who's seen me naked is Kylie and that was only cause we are just so comfortable with each other, we could change in front of each other. She says I have nothing to be ashamed of cause I have a great body, but I still am. Anxiety is great.

I bought about three pairs of lingerie and I don't know about the girls. Michael didn't come in the store saying the store was gross. He just said he was going to wait outside and to mindlink him if anything went wrong. I can't mindlink, but I understood he wasn't talking to me. Now we are roaming the mall looking for another store to go in.

I gotta say, being without your mate has it's downfalls. I have him in my mind 24/7 and being without him sucks. I just want to hug him forever...

" Omg Jessica! It's Hot Topic! " Kylie yells and pulls me towards the store, making me snap back to reality.

" Omg come on come on! " Me and her ran into the store with a stunned Maddie behind us, " Wait up! " she yelled while we were already in the store.

We looked around at all of the posters on the walls while I could hear the song " Beachboy " by McCafferty playing throughout the store. I start singing along and go to the hats to try some on.

I pick a hat up that is light pink with a white peace sign on the front and immediately thought of Kylie.

" Kylie get over here! " I yell and continue looking at the hats. She doesn't immediately come over so I pick up a hat I found and went to a mirror nearby.

I examine myself and then just think... eh. I go back to the rack of hats and gasp when I find one I like. It's a Twenty One Pilots hat that's mostly black but then red in places. It has its logo on the front and on the side a TØP skull with a line through it. I look at the price and cringe, $20+ for a hat just seems crazy.

I shrug as Kylie walks over to me and looks at the two hats in my hand, " I didn't think you were into hats. "

" I'm not, but I'm into TØP. " I show her the hat and she smiles and nods. She looks at the other hat and her mouth flies open, " I love this hat. "

She takes the hat and goes over to the mirror, with me following behind, and we both pose in the mirror in our new hats.

Madison comes over and laughs at our weirdness, " You guys are embarrassing me. "

" Whatever. " Kylie turns around and crosses her arms. Michael walks into the store with a panicked expression on his face until he sees us and he relaxes a little.

" What the fuck guys. " he walks over to us and runs his hands through his hair.

" What? You were too slow. " Kylie laughs at his state and takes off her hat.

" You guys ran away so fast, I went to go throw away my cup and y'all were gone. " he frowns.

" Nice hats by the way. I would've gotten this one though. " he goes over to the rack and then chooses a hat and comes back over to us.

He holds out the hat so we all can see and it read on the front " Fuck everyone ".

" Sameee. " Maddie says and laughs while Kylie beside her growls.

" You better not be fucking anyone but me. " Kylie raises her eyebrow, but this doesn't effect Madison as she gets a mischievous glint in her eye.

" Who says I haven't. " she struts away with a smirk and if we didn't have to pay for the hats, Kylie would've been fuming after her.

" We should head home. " Michael says looking at his watch, it's 3:30 and I kinda agree. I miss Sean and we have to get back soon before he realizes we were ever gone. Well, that I was gone. The others are free to leave whenever they want. Lucky ducks.

" Yeah, let me use the bathroom though. " says Madison, " Anyone know where it is? "

I sigh and Kylie looks around to find a sign, but no luck. This mall needs better signs and stuff to know where we are going.

" Come on I'll help you find a sign. Jessica we'll be back. " Kylie takes Maddie by her hand and walks towards a store.

" Okay. " I say and turn to Michael, but he wasn't there. I could've sworn he was right there.

I walk not far to a massage chair and sit down in the nice, comfy chair.

I sit back and relax for a few minutes and look around to see if I could see Michael or the girls but still nothing. I guess bathrooms are not close by. I just wonder where Michael is. When they come back, he better be here cause I don't want to leave without him.

I sit back again and feel someone sitting next to me. I think they're alone because I don't hear anyone talking to them. Must be alone too, I feel ya pal. I was left to fend for myself.

I open my eyes and as soon as I do, the person next to me leans to me and whispers in my ear, " If you want your friends to live, I suggest you come with me. "

Come on guys where are you...?

~~

*surprise*

For a few hours I've locked myself in my office trying to figure out who this mystery person who is trying to hurt my mate is.

I've kept every single note trying to get a scent, a fingerprint, anything to help me. I always find nothing. It's stressful knowing there's nothing I can do at the moment.

I run my hands through my hair and lean against my chair, I need Michael to help me with all this for a while. My brains gonna explode.

" Michael. " I say through the mindlink.

" Yes? " He replies almost instantly.

" Where are you? I need help with the case. "

" I'm uh.. I'm in the bathroom. "

" Dude, just come to my office when your done. "

" Okay. " he says and closes his mindlink. That's odd, he never closes it.

I shuffle through a few papers and doodle on the sides. I don't draw like Jessica because there's a major difference, she actually knows how to draw. Me on the other hand, I draw stick figures.

I smile to myself and daydream about my mate. God, it's only been a few hours and I miss her a lot. I'll go check on her, I haven't heard anything from her for a couple hours.

I didn't want to let her go to the mall without knowing who this guy is that I'm looking for. Keeping her here with me and people who can protect her is where she's safe. Millions of people are at the mall, who knows what'll happen there.

I get up out of my chair and close the office door behind me. I walk to our room and notice it's closed, she might be taking a shower. I smell the air and I don't smell anything. I don't even smell her scent...

" Jessica..? " I open the door and look around the room, no sign of my mate.

" Jess... " I look into the bathroom and the lights off with no sign of her still.

I run out of the room into the hall, " Jessica where are you?? " I yell.

I run all around the house and check in every bedroom just in case she was hanging out with Madison, but there's no sign of her either.

" Madison. " I growl through the mindlink but no reply.

" Michael where are you and where is my mate. " I growl through his mindlink but no reply either.

I realize no ones here in the house and my blood boils. They knew she wasn't allowed to leave the house, and why she wasn't either. They need to keep her safe even when I can't.

I run my hands through my hair and punch the wall so hard it makes a hole. Why aren't they answering me??

The door opens and I hear three pairs of footsteps enter the doorway. I take my hand out of the hole and turn towards the three of them.

A frightened Michael, Kylie, and Madison stand in shock at the hole in the wall and about something else, probably about my mate.

" Where is my mate? " My wolfs comes to the surface and Michael gulps, Kylie stands there fidgeting with her fingers, and my sister just stands there staring at me.

" Someone answer my question. "

" She's missing. " Michael finally speaks up and my eyes widened. My mates missing...

" What do you mean she's missing? " I fume and he looks down, ashamed.

" We left her for a few minutes and when we came back we couldn't find her anywhere. Someone took her. "

That's all it took. I stormed out of the living room and went outside and shifted midair. I ran, anywhere, I ran till my legs felt tired and I couldn't run anymore. My mate is missing, and it's my fault.
