chapter three

Three days after Zac's nightmare, Jordan, Lara, and Noelle picked the guys up at their hotel. It was 11:00 when Lara's brother's car pulled up. He had been nice enough to "offer" the girls a ride. (Lara had actually convinced her brother to take them around the city by guarenteeing that he would see lots of girls.) Once the three guys climbed into the car and everyone had been introduced, the seven teens (Including Lara's brother Jacen) decided where to go. (AN: I apalogize, but I've never really been to LA so I don't know any of the sights.) It was six by the time they finished. Jordan, Noelle, Lara, Isaac, Taylor, Zac, and Jacen made their way to Taco Bell for a nutricious dinner of tacos, burritos, and nachos. Once, after Zac cracked a joke, he spotted the girl that was in his dream. He shook his head, then she was gone. Confused, he just ignored it and went back to eating and talking with his new found friends.

Taylor collapsed on his bed, thinking of how much fun he'd had with the girls. They were so nice to him and his brothers, and actually treated them like normal people. Jordan even started flirting with him. And apparently, Lara was doing the same thing to Ike. "Hey Tay, whaddya think of Noelle?" Zac intrrupted his brother's thoughts. "Hmmm, what? Oh, she's cool." He paused, then a sly grin spread over his face. "You like her, don't ya?" he said. "No! I just asked what you thought of her!" Zac said defensivly, yet he looked a little guilty. Taylor started laughing. "No, you like her!" "I do NOT!" Zac yelled playfully as he smacked his brother in the face with his pillow. "Hey, hey, watch it guys." Isaac said. "Awwwww, Ike, our little brother is falling in love!" Taylor said laughing, just before he was hit dead in the face with a pillow. "I'm NOT falling in love with her!" Zac yelled as he started to beat up Taylor with the pillow. Isaac just looked over and laughed. Soon enough, they calmed down, and soon went to sleep.

The next morning, after the familiy had had breakfast, Ike decided to go for a walk by himself. In the back of the hotel was a little courtyard, so he decided to go there. He had been walking around for about half an hour, letting his mind wander, when he noticed a girl was following him around. He looked behind him a few times, and sure enough, she was following him, keeping her distance. She had dark black hair and eyes, but she was wearing a greet fitted shirt and baggy jeans. Weird Ike thought. He started waliing a bit faster. So did the girl. Ike started walking even faster, and soon he was running with the girl close behind. After running for about ten minutes, twisting and turning around every corner, looking behind him every few seconds to see if the girl was still there, he slowed down. The girl was no where to be seen. He looked all around, trying to find her. Then he noticed his surroundings. Somehow he'd wound up running into a forest. A dark one. Ike looked around, trying to figure out where he was, though he was totally confused. "Hello?" he shouted. "Anyone here?" No answer came. "Hello?" he shouted even louder. He had no idea where he was, and it was scaring him.
