TOMORROW MORNING
(STILL IN THE CURRENT SITUATION)
I can't believe it happened... Spencer got shot in his left shoulder and Sam got in her back
"Do you think that's a good idea?" Alex said.
"We're going to come up with something okay?" I said.
"Hey, remember it's us we're going to save here! So stop acting like you don't care at all!" Elle said.
"And since when do you care for someone?" Alex asked.
"Since, I met Sam, Alex!" Elle replied.
"Hey, I know what happened to Sam really breaks your heart, but we're saving our lives here... this must be dangerous but if you want them or us to live then stop thinking it's not gonna help us," Shayne said.
"Fine! Then where should we start?" Alex replied.
"Let's ask the people around here, maybe they saw something suspicious," I said.
"Yeah, they should be," Alex said
OUTSIDE THE MANSION
"Hello, sir!" I greeted the guard.
"Hi, I'm Holly, you must be one of Sam's friends. How can I help you?" Holly said.
"So, you don't call Sam, some fancy blah blah?" Elle asked
"Oh, we used to call her madam, miss, but she just wants us to call her Sam" Holly replied.
"So, when Sam arrived here, do you see something suspicious around the house?" I asked.
...
"Okay, Elle come with me, Alex, Amber, you stay here," Shayne said.
"So, we're splitting up?" I asked.
"Yeah, it would take the asking faster if we split up" Shayne replied.
"Okay, sure! Make sure you inform us where you two are and how are you doing, okay?" I said.
Shayne nodded.
They continued asking Holly some questions about outside the house where the incident happened. But they didn't find anything to help them.
AT SAM'S PLAYROOM
(Amber and Alex)
Amber's POV
"For all the people we asked around, nothing, no answers... are helpful," I said.
"What's your plan, Amber?" Alex asked.
I shrugged.
"What about the others? Do you have some backup plans? Or any ideas there that can or can't help?" I added.
...
*opens fridge*
"What are you doing, Amber?" Alex asked.
I looked back and got a box with a note saying, "Amber it's for you, keep smiling! -Sammy XO".
I said, "It's a box *shakes the box* with something in it and it has a note that says it's for me"
"Who is it from?" Alex asked. Instead of answering Alex's question, I gave the note that is attached to the box.
"Okay, then open it" Alex replied.
As I opened the box we found a...
AT THE HOSPITAL
ANDRE'S POV
Spencer just got out from surgery, he should wake up later but it seems he woke up early...
"Spence!" Beck said.
"Where am I?" Spencer asked.
"You're at the hospital, Spencer" Beck replied.
"Hospital? Who are you?" Spencer asked.
"Spencer, this is me! Beck!" Beck replied
"Beck? I don't remember I have someone - are we related?" Spencer asked.
"I'm your twin brother!" Beck replied.
"Spencer... Is he forgetting everything?" Andre asked.
"It looks like, it is..." Beck replied.
AT SAM'S PLAYROOM
Alex's POV
...Key.
"It's a key, with a letter S carved on it," Amber said.
"Where does that belong?" I asked.
"I don't know..." Amber replied.
"Maybe there's a guide or something with it"
"There's a paper"
"What does it say?"
"Hi, Amber. I guess you found the box in my playroom's fridge, you must be hungry. Okay, you can have my snacks and don't touch the blue and gold shelf! That's all mine, and also, clean this room... jk I didn't ask you to be here and haven't told you to be here, but you intend to be here inside... Don't move anywhere as you say this out loud to Alex and the others, the key in your hand is a-"
"Wait, that's all?" Amber added.
"The key must mean something to her, it has a carved S on it and you know what S means..."
"It means, Samantha... or Shut up!"
"There's no U but hey! and why's there a key? Can we-"
"A clue!"
"A what?"
"A clue! This key is a clue!"
"Why?"
"I don't know, but it just popped up in my head"
"Well, then keep that key"
"Detective Amber, at your service!"
"And Detective Alex, at your service!"
*laughs*
"Where's Elle and Shayne?"
"I have no idea..."
"Alex, can you call them?"
"Okay,"
"Hi, this is Elle Valentine. I'm not available please leave a voice message and I will get back to you"
"Elle's not answering..." I said.
Strange...
"Try calling Shayne," Amber said.
"Hi, this is Shayne Davis, sorry I'm not available, please leave a voice message and I will get back to you"
"It's also a voice message..." I said...
"Oh no, this is bad..." Amber said and ran away...
"Amber, wait!" I yelled.
AT THE VILLAGE
(Elle, Shayne, and Shayne's childhood friend, Luna)
SHAYNE'S POV
"Shayne?!" Luna said.
"Luna!" I replied
"Hi, you must be Elle, I'm Luna Moreno," Luna said.
"Hi, Luna... I'm Elle Valentine" Elle replied.
"Elle, this is Luna my childhood best friend, Luna, this is Elle, my girlfriend," I said.
"Hey..." Elle greeted.
Elle: *Fakely chuckled and added a fake smile*
"So, Shayne welcome to LA! What brings you here?" Luna asked.
"An injured friend," Elle replied.
"Elle! Sorry, it's my best friend's birthday and we planned a surprise party... and about my other friend, she just got shot yesterday..." Shayne replied.
ELLE'S POV
And they talked a lot.
I secretly left Shayne with Luna to see if he noticed that I'm gone, and I arrived at Sam's house and he still didn't notice yet. And from where we met Luna we were 5 mansions away...
So, you've chosen war...
I watched Shayne and Luna talk and he just noticed that I'm gone... it took him nearly an hour to notice...
I saw Luna holding her phone and looks like someone's asking for numbers...
And Shayne just started to pat his pockets, he forgot he gave me his phone. He looked behind him and he noticed I wasn't there, and he ran towards me.
"Hey, babe... you got my phone, right?" He asked.
"It took you nearly an hour to notice, you know what will happen, do you?" I replied.
"Uh... sorry, I just haven't seen her in 7 years" He replied.
"7 years, and you still recognized her and mine's an hour, and you didn't, *sigh* woooow, unbelievable," I said.
"Look, I'm sorry..." he said.
"Here's your phone, I won't be surprised if e-mail's next," I said.
As I gave him his phone his smile went from ear to ear, and he happily ran to Luna and switched their phones...
2 hours later...
AT A CAFE
"Excuse me, guys... I'm going to the restroom" Luna said.
"Sure, make sure you come back, completely," I said.
"Elle..." Shayne said.
*DING!
He smiled.
*DING!
He smiled again.
"Happiness and War just started."
"What?"
"Luna Moreno..."
"Yeah, what's wrong with Luna," Shayne asked.
"You know what happens, do you?" Elle asked.
"To what?" Shayne asked.
"You two are talking there, happily while I'm here in front of you and I look like a third party here. That girl is so close to you and you didn't even bother, or think to adjust your position and you just let her nearly climb to you" I said.
"You're jealous, aren't you?" Shayne asked.
"Do I have to answer your question? Of course, I'm jealous, I'm your girlfriend, Shayne! We've been dating for nearly 2 years!" I said.
"You really are crazy, I don't know why I'm your boyfriend... I guess that's why nobody likes you! And also I can't help it with your attitude" He said.
"Sam and Amber love me!" I said.
"So, I can't be friends with beautiful girls?" He asked.
"You can be friends with ugly girls" I replied.
"Sam and Amber are beautiful," he said.
"Except them!" I said.
"She's just a friend!" He said.
"A friend who stares at you like she saw the limited-edition Gucci bag, and sends you 2 texts while she's in the restroom," I said.
*DING!
"Three," I added.
"It's not her!" He said.
"Well, then check it out!" I said.
"It is her..." Shayne said.
"You've been like this since we met Sam!" I said.
"And also to other girls!" I added.
...
"Fine, you know what?" I said.
"What?"
Elle Valentine, don't ever tell him what
I stood up and said, "We're done!"
"Wait, what?" He said.
"I'm going back there and help Amber and Alex, have fun with your childhood best friend," I said.
"Wait, Elle! Come back!" He yelled.
"Why do you care? I'm not your girlfriend, anymore!" I replied.
Luna's POV
"Where's Elle?" I asked.
"Go away!" Shayne said.
He stood up and walked away, leaving me alone at the table and I paid our check.
AT SAM'S PLAYROOM
ELLE'S POV
"Hi, guys!" I said like nothing happened.
Why are they not here?
ON FACETIME (Calling Amber)
Elle: "Guys! Where are you?"
Amber: "Where have you been?"
Alex: "Hey, Elle! Where are you now?"
Amber: "Are you okay? Where's Shayne?"
Elle: "Oh, he's at the - he's here!"
Shayne: "Hi, guys!"
Amber: "Okay, we're coming there, We'll see you both later"
- End Facetime -
LATER...
*KNOCK! KNOCK*
"Come in!" I said.
"Hello, guys!" Amber said
"Where are you guys been?" She asked.
"Oh, just circling the neighborhood" I replied.
"Oh, I'm hungry, you find anything?" Alex asked.
"Nope, Oh! Amber, I found a chocolate room and it's for Sam, and I saw a chef, walking back and forth in front of the room, he seems suspicious..." I said.
"Wait, I guess that's what the key is for!" Amber said.
"A key?" I asked.
"Yes, we found a box for Amber, and it got a key inside, I guess that room is what the key is for" Alex replied.
"Can you tell us where that room is? It looks like we're finding a treasure..." Amber said.
"Okay, follow me!" I replied.
On the 4th floor
"Wait, this is the last floor isn't it?" Amber asked.
"Looks like an attic to me," Alex said.
"There are three doors, Elle, do you remember where that chocolate room is?" Amber asked.
"Third door, beside that window" I replied.
"You said, there was a note that says this is the chocolate room, but it's a capital S," Amber said.
"I know, I didn't see this before," I said.
"Amber, the key has a carved S and that door has the same letter, don't you guys get it?" Alex said.
"Alex, I know, just playing," Amber said.
*door opens*
"It's heaven," Amber said.
"Chocolates!!!" Amber added happily and quickly ran inside.
"Amber, easy on the chocolates, that's for Sam!" Elle said.
...
"Amber!" The three of us yelled.
