Gianna's POV:

So far keeping Mackenzie away from Brynn and Jojo has been easy because either she has been with me or with Maddie, and when Maddie is practising a dance and Kenzie isn't, she is in the studio that Maddie is in, stretching and practising in the corner.

Today, however was different.

When Maddie, Chloe and Paige came in to practice their trio, I asked "Where's Kenzie?"

Maddie said "I thought she was in here with you already! She wasn't in the den!"

I asked "Were Brynn and Jojo in the den?"

Chloe said "No they weren't."

Then Maddie started crying saying "They've got her!" "They are going to hurt her!" "Why did to make sure that I was with her?" "It's all my fault!" Chloe was trying to comfort her while Me and Paige went and started to search the studio with all the other girls.

Maddie's POV:

Mackenzie is missing! Nobody knows where she is! We also don't know where Brynn and Jojo are. We have looked everywhere. Me and Chloe were walking past the store when we heard an ear-piercing scream. I know that scream. That's Mackenzie! I screamed "Mackenzie!" "Kenz, where's are you?"

Then we heard the scream again and I heard a voice saying "You don't like us and we don't like you. Well, now nobody will like you again because you will be gone!" That made me scared. Then I heard Mackenzie say "Please. Put down the knife! Please. Don't do this!"

Then I heard "Shut up! This is hard enough as it is! Don't make this any harder! We have to do this before anyone realises where we are!"

I had had enough! I ran into the store and searched everywhere, then I saw a door, hidden by some clothes. I didn't know that was there! I went towards it and the voices got louder so I opened it and with Chloe right by my side. We walked through and saw Mackenzie tied to a chair with Brynn and Jojo both holding knifes to her. They hadn't seen us but Mackenzie did. I put my finger to my lips, telling her to be quiet. Then I whispered to Chloe " Go and get Gianna. Be quick!" She ran to Gianna, being very quiet as she did so. Meanwhile I just stayed hidden, figuring out what to do. When suddenly I heard Jojo say "Brynn, let's just kill her now. Then we can be the favourites!"

Brynn replied "No! Not yet. Let's wait until they are looking for us and then we can do it and then quickly run away, before they find us!"

I had my phone on record, I was recording their whole conversation, then I heard Chloe come back to me and she told me that Gia and all the other girls are waiting in the store. So we went to them and I played the recording of what Brynn and Jojo were saying and Lilliana started crying and I comforted her and then Gianna said "So, I will go in there with Brooke and Kalani. Chloe, Paige, Maddie, Peyton and Lilly. I want you 5 to stay in my office with the door locked. Nia, Kendall, Alexus, Elliana you are going to be ready to catch Brynn and Jojo if they try and get away. Okay?"

Everyone nodded and Maddie and the other 4 went to my office and I went with them and locked the door, then I went with Brooke and Kalani through the door and we saw Mackenzie tied to a chair and Brynn and Jojo were there with their backs to us, so we quietly went in, Brooke went to Jojo mad Kalani went to Brynn and they got the knives out of their hands, before I went and got Mackenzie untied. She was crying and shaking so badly! I said to her that it will be alright. I told Brooke and Kalani to take the girls to the Den. And they did then I picked Kenzie up and carried her to my office, unlocked my door and then said "Come on, let's go to the den."

Once all 14 girls and I were in the den, I said "So, Brynn, Jojo. You are no longer apart of The GMDC. You will go home with Christi and Kelly to get all your stuf and then you will go to the airport to go back to Pittsburg. Kelly and Christi are going to go with you and Abby will meet you at Pittsburg Airport."

They started crying but no one comforted them, then Kelly and Christi came in and said "Come on then let's get you 2 out of the state!"

Then they left and I had 12 girls left and I said "Now, I still only want 10 of you on the team, so I am going to eliminate the 2 people who are not keeping up with the choreography and they are Alexus and Peyton. So I'm sorry but you 2 are not on the team anymore. Your moms should be here soon to collect you. You are welcome to come to watch the competition but you are not to take classes here anymore."

They nodded and left. Then I said "Juniors, go into Studio B and work on your group. Minis, you are now doing a trio, come into Studio A with me so we can re-block the group to make it a trio."

We all left and went through the dance and it looks great.

So I let them leave early!

Mackenzie's POV:

I now have a bedroom to myself and there is an empty bedroom as well. So I went to Gianna, and asked "Gia, what are we doing about the empty bedroom and the other bed in my bedroom?"

She replied with "I have talked to Lilliana and Elliana's moms and they do not like being away from their husbands and other children, so I am becoming the legal guardian for Lilliana and Elliana. So, Elliana will move into Jojo's old room and Lilly can share a room with you. Does that sound okay?"

I nodded really excited!

Then I went to bed happy.
