Eliazer King's POV

the fact I got caught by the least expected person. I expected cops spitting out, and I quote, "You know that's illegal, right?".

"Wait, you didn't bring your car?" Bryn asked out of the blue.

"Is there a problem with walking?" I replied with a question.

"Nope, not a problem at all." She said slowly, hands up in surrender.

"Exactly," I added with a smirk.

"Okay okay, let's stop with being smart-" Bryn's words were cut off by her cell phone ringing. She excused herself, quick to answer. She mumbled something until tears pooled in her eyes. I felt my heart stop at her face, red and teary. My hand went to her shoulder as soon as she hung up on the phone.

"Wha-What happened? What's wrong?" I genuinely asked, furrowing my eyebrows.

"My brothers missing." She said, a crack in her voice. I felt my heart drop to the pit of my stomach. Of course, he's missing. I let my hand drop as I felt anger course through my veins.

"I-I need to go home." She quickly said.

"I'm coming with," I stated.

"But-"

"I'm not making any room for argument. I'm coming with and that's final." I grabbed her hand, leading her to her home. Her own hand tightened, around my own. She was in need of support, and I'm going to give it to her. We made it to her home in no time. The first thing she did was barge in through the double doors.

Wow, how comfy.

The big setting was unknown to me. I warily walked in through the doors, wiping the bottom of my boots, making sure not to drag in the dirt.

"Hello there, how can I help you?" My head snapped at the male voice. He's was surprisingly young for a butler, my main guess. He wore white gloves with a black suit. When I looked back at his face, it's showed some kind of expression.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not homosexual." He stated with a frown mixed smile.

"Oh my god, no."

"Yes, I'm really so-"

"No I mean, I'm not gay!" I exclaimed.

"Oh- well, that's good!" He said, relief written on his face.

This is what happens when you look at people for too long. But other than that, there was something that surprised me. I felt normal. He looked at me like I was a normal human being, like Bryn. And it felt great.

"Nikolai is at your service. Whom might you be?" He asked politely, hands folded together.

"Eliazer King," I replied. He stretched out his hand. I put our palms together in a handshake, a firm handshake may I add.

"Well, may I know your relationship to Ms.Atkinson?" He said.

"I'm a-a friend," I replied, pursing my lips.

"Ah, that's nice. Moving here was the right thing for Bryn." He said, probably telling himself the last part. And it makes sense, her little sister Charlie, passed away.

"Well, we're all going through a hard time right now. But I'm sure Bryn would love to have you here. Her room is on the second floor, third door to the left." He said, motioning up the stairs. I thanked him, running up the stairs, two steps at a time. I saw the door he was talking about, pretty hard to notice when it has Bryn's name written all over the door. I knocked on the door twice before opening it.

"What happened? Are you okay?" I asked slowly, entering the room upon seeing Bryn laying face down on her bed.

She lifted her head up, "They can't do anything until it's been twenty-four hours." She said, disappointed. "Ma-maybe Aspen is just out with Kacey, hanging out. After nine hours..."

Not quite.

"Listen, everything's going to be alright," I said.

I'll do everything I can.

"I think- I think I gotta go. I'll be back whenever I can." I said, getting up. Bryn said nothing, due to her state of denial. I walked out the door, and I had an intention of doing something.

~

I stayed in my room for two days. Sobbing. Aspen hasn't come home yet, which forced police to file a missing person report. The squad has come by, supporting me and staying by my side. But somebody I haven't seen was Eliazer. I was laying down on my bed until I received an urgent call.

Jared.

I was quick to answer. "Bryn, you need to come over. Now." He said, no room for discussion. And that's exactly what I did, I went over. Once I walked in through that apartment door, Jared jumped on me, asking questions.

"Eliazer's not with you?" He immediately asked.

"No? I thought he was... Where is he?" I asked.

"Oh my god, he's fucking stupid," Jared mumbled, sitting down on the kitchen chair while running his hand down his face. Tears whelmed in his eyes, "So so stupid."

Something was terribly wrong, and I felt it. "Jared, what aren't you telling me?"

"I think Eliazer knows who took Aspen." He said, biting the inside of his lip. I felt my heart stop as tears pooled my already swollen eyes.

"Who?" I said, a croak in my voice. "Who?!"

Jared stayed quiet at my outburst, running a hand through his hair.

"Now isn't the time to be hiding fucking secrets, Jared!" I yelled, desperate for answers.

"It's not that simple, you need to understand!" Jared yelled back.

"Jared. My brother is at stake, and possibly Eliazer. So we need to fucking find them right now." I said.

"No, we need to plan things out."

"Jared, there's nothing to plan! We go and we find them."

"Bryn, if that even happens. They probably won't make it." Jared sobbed, slumping back in his chair. I yelled, frustrated before barging inside Eliazer's room, desperate for answers. I rummaged through his dresser and bed, everywhere. That's until I stumbled upon his untidy corner.

"Oh god," I mumbled as a realization hit me. I took the newspapers, horror on my face. The murders, the killer. I looked down at his desk to see the withered rose that came from the man. The fucking withered rose.
