NICOLE'S POV

After Beth left the room, the man turned around and looked at me. Beads of cold sweat dripped down my forehead as he walked towards me.

When his skin came in contact with mine, I shivered and felt goosebumps.

Without saying anything, he untied my ropes and I felt really confused.

What did he want to do now?

Does he want to hurt me?

"Come with me." He said.

Without a second thought, I shouted,"No!"

I gasped and covered my mouth but it was too late.

He charged towards me and pushed me against the wall. He whipped a knife out of his back pocket and placed it against my neck. "Come with me."he demanded, before grabbing my hair and pulling me.

"OUCH!" I yelled in pain as he continued pulling my hair.

He led me into what looked like the dining room. Two plates and two glasses were placed on the table and a candle was placed in the middle. "Sit." He ordered me. I sat on a chair and he sat opposite me. ''Please enjoy your meal.'' A middle-aged man, who I think is the man's servant, said. He then poured Coke onto our cups, before lifting the lid of the plates. I felt as though I was in heaven! IT WAS STEAK!! Before the man could say anything, I quickly wolfed down the steak. I sighed and enjoyed the steak. Then, I quickly drank the Coke. It tasted a bit weird...but I quickly drank it. ''It's probably less sweet or something,''I thought.

However, the man hasn't even started eating his steak. Instead, he smirked at me. ''Why aren't you eating?'' I asked him. He remained silent and slowly took his utencils and cutting it.

Then,suddenly, I felt giddy. My vision blurred and I had no idea what my body was doing.

JOSH'S (THE MAN)POV

I grinned when I saw her getting high.The drugs in the Coke was supposed to do this to her. She climbed onto the table and singing at the top of her lungs. I quickly wolfed down my steak. Just then, she got tired,just like what I had predicted, and eventually climbed back down and sat on the chair. She grinned at me and started laughing.

''Nicole!'' I said. She looked at me and said,''Yes?''

''I am going to ask you a few questions.''

''Sure!'' she smiled sweetly. I smirked. My plan was going well.

"You know Alison, right?''

She nodded and said, ''YAR,CLASSMATE."

''Where does she study at? ''

She started laughing and said,'' We study in the same school yo! WE GO STAR'S ACADEMY YOOO!''

Star's Academy?

I quickly whipped out my phone and searched the location. Great! It was only an hour's drive away.

''HELLOO?! ASK ME MORE QUESTIONS!!'' she yelled. Then the events from the past week came flooding back to me. Beth and Nicole seemed to have a connection. When Beth came into the room to kill Caity, they seemed to recognised each other.

'' Do u know Beth?'' I finally asked.

'' SERIOUSLY?! SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND! DUH! I THOUGHT YOU COULD HAVE ASKED A BETTER QUESTION.'' She glared at me. I looked at her in shock. Best friends??

I was about to ask her another question, but she lay her head on the table, unconscious.

I quickly ran out of the lab and got into my car, before driving to Star's Academy.

The bell rang. Students streamed out of the school. I stood at the gates, trying to catch sight of Alison. After waiting for 10 minutes, Alison finally showed up, with her group of friends. They were chatting happily and were laughing. I followed to where they were going. Finally, they parted ways and I quickly ran up to Alison. She quickly looked back and I placed the cloth around her nose and mouth. As she sniffed in the chemicals, she became weak and eventually passed out. Since we were now in a remote area, not many people were here. I quickly carried Alison back to the car, before driving back to the lab.

Nicole's POV

I gently opened my eyes. My head was hurting and my vision was blurry. "What's happening to me?" I thought to myself. Then, I looked beside me and I screamed at the top of my lungs. Beside me was Caity. She was looking at me. Her lips were swollen and they was blood on her forehead. "C..Caity?" I stammered. "Nicole?I'm Alison"she replied and I could see a tear run down her face. I heaved a sigh of relief and asked,"Why are you here?""He captured me." She said, before sobbing.

"Shh, shh." I tried to comfort her, but my hands were tied up. Then, suddenly, the events of that dinner ran through my mind.

"You know Alison,right?"

''YAR,CLASSMATE."

''Where does she study at? ''

'' We study in the same school yo! WE GO STAR'S ACADEMY YOOO!'

Regret rushed through my veins. Alison was here because of me...
