"Blake where is Layla's swimsuit? I've been looking for it everywhere but I can't find it." I sighed. I have been looking throughout the big closet Blake, Layla and I share for almost 15 minutes now. My bikini top was a bit too tight so I tried to loosen it a bit. When I heard a soft chuckle from behind me I turned around and there was Blake, holding up a small purple swimsuit.

"Looking for this?" I growled in annoyance when he threw it at me.

"You could have said so earlier when I told you I was going to get Layla's stuff." I put the small swimsuit on the bed so I could change Layla later.

I was still with my back turned to Blake when I felt his hands on my bare waist. Not a moment later Blake's lips find my neck and eventually I turned around to properly kiss him on the lips. I went with my hands through his hair and tugged a bit. Blake then decided it was a good idea to pick me op and lay me on the bed.

As I fall on the bed I hear someone get through the front door. I jumped up and ran to where I had left Layla with Ethan, the living room. When I came into the room I saw Mark, Addison and Clara sitting on the couch, laughing at something that was happening behind the couch. I walked towards it and I saw Ethan on his back, holding Layla up as if she was flying. Layla giggled loudly and clearly was having a good time. Ethan is so good with kids.

Addison looked at me and blushed a bit. "Kathy, you're eh bikini top. It's a bit too exciting don't you think?" She added a soft giggle and I looked down. Apparently my bikini top had moved slightly so that now my boob was litteraly almost falling out. Thanks a lot Blake.

"Let's just go to the beach okay? I will text both Liam and Chantal right now. Where are those two?" I looked around and everyone just simply nodded or shrugged. Nobody knew where Liam and Chantal were.

Odd...

I decided to text Chantal first.

Chantal Gray [11:32 a.m.] Where the fuck are you? We're all going to the beach, the one you showed me pictures of.

Liam Banks [11:35 a.m.] Tell your mate to look at her damn phone. We're going to the beach, ask Chan which one.

"You ready?" Addison asked throwing a simple sundress my way.

I catched it easily. "Let's go!"

Arrived at the beach we saw that we waves were high. I personally love it when that happens. I used to swim in the sea with Asher and my dad all the time when we were younger. My mom hated the sea but she still came along. I always ended up playing volleybal in the water with my dad and Asher. We also did small games with who was the best swimmer and was the first one to get to the shore. When I was 16 I managed to win from my dad and brother, that made me feel so powerful.

I smiled thinking about the memories I had with my dad on the beach.

"This is one of the first times you smiled when you thought of your father. I feel progress coming up." I heard Starlett say with a proud voice.

"Those were good memories though."

"We totally kicked their asses that time you won." She laughed which made me laugh along.

"What are you smiling about?" Mark asked with a laugh. He looked in my eyes as if he was searching for something.

I shrugged, the smile never leaving my face. "Just good memories."

We found eventually found a good place to sit and I took Layla in my arms. "I wonder where Chantal and Liam are." I looked at Blake who was talking to Jennifer about how we were going to stay here as long as possible since Jennifer wants to see the sunset. There was this feeling inside me that told me something wasn't okay and with Chantal and Liam being gone I'm only more worried.

"Don't worry, they're safe." Addison tried to assure me, placing a big blanket on the sand. She took the bag from my hand and I sat down, still with Layla in my arms.

"How would you know that for sure?" I almost whispered. I was looking at Layla, she's the out come of what Scott and whoever is helping him could do.

Ethan sighed. "Because they're right there. Stop moping around and let's swim!" He took Layla out of my arms, gave her to a confused looking Chantal and practically dragged me to the water.

Let's have some fun.

After Ethan and I swam in the water and ended up playing beach volleyball with Mark and Blake, I was exhausted. I laid down on the big comfy towel and closed my eyes. The sound of the waves being the most calming sound I had heard in months. I felt carefree and safe, something Scott had slowly taken away.

Just as I slowly drifted away to a deep sleep.

"Katharina..." I softly heard someone say. It kind of echoed through my mind. I recognised the gentle female voice but I just couldn't seem to know who it is right this second. I opened my eyes and sat up.

I was still at the beach, the only difference now was that I was all alone.

Or so I thought as I looked to the ocean. A girl with long beautiful red hair was standing in the water. She was wearing a short white dress and the water came till her knees. The high waves from earlier were gone and it seemed like the sun was about to go down.

I recognised her. "Abby?" I softly said. "Is this a dream?"

She turned around and started walking towards me, slowly. "You could say this is a dream, yeah." She said with a soft smile. I felt incredibly confused, why couldn't she just get straight to the point?

"Why so vague? You must be here for a reason, right?" I laughed. "Never mind, you're Abby, of course you are here for a reason. Care to tell me what it is though?"

She stood in front of me now. "You and your friends are in danger, you have to get back to the apartment. I can't tell you any more than that, they would notice."

I looked at her as she sat down. "Why are we in danger? Is Scott here? Did he find us? Nobody is hurt, right? What if he hurts someone again?" I started showering her with questions but she seemed to be in some sort of daze. I touched her shoulders and I felt a small tingle. It was like I just touched Blake but more weakly.

Abby also seemed to notice as her head shot to the side, looking at me with a shocked expression. The same expression my face probably had. It was as if she was my mate but there was a distance between us. It remembers me of the day before my birthday, where I met Blake. The tingles and the sparks and everything were also weak but yet strong at the same time.

I was the first to say anything. "What the fuck was that?!" I exclaimed loudly. Abby flinched a bit at the sound of my loud voice and my harsh choice of words.

"I don't know?" She whispered. "I always imagined to feel that whenever I meet my mate, but I know for sure it's not you since you have Blake. I made sure of that." She softly laughed at the last part.

"So what does this mean?" I asked curiously.

Abby thought for a moment. Then it her eyes lit up with happines. "Maybe my mate is around you right now?"

"I'm at a public beach. There could be so many people there." I laughed softly. "When I'm back I'll try to find out who your mate is."

"I wish I already knew." She sighed.

"But wait, you told me I'm in danger." I looked around the beach, the sun was almost fully dissapearing into the ocean. "That means I have to go back! I have to tell my friends! I have to make sure they're okay."

"You will go back to your body when the sun will completely go down." She said. "We only have a few minutes left."

"Where do I have to go when I'm back at the apartment?" I quickly ask. It would be stupid to not know what to look for when I'm back at the beach later and wake up.

"Go to the kitchen, you'll find a note there. Make sure everyone is in that apartment with you."

"When will I see you again?" I softly asked her. I started to like Abby, she was like a long lost friend you started talking to again.

"For your sake I hope never." She said and everything around me started to dissapear, the last thing I saw was the orange coloured sky.

I jumped up. I was in the apartment, laying on the couch. I sat up and looked over my shoulder. Blake was looking at me with a shocked expression and something unexplainable and unknown. I looked around the room and saw that everyone was here. Just like Abby wanted.

I couldn't help but feel a bit sad. Abby told me it was better to not see her. What does she mean with that? It's not like she's a bad person or brings danger with her. She helps us.

Then I remembered something. "We were at the beach?" I said and everyone slowly nodded, looking at me with confused expressions. "How did we come here? Was I asleep? How come I didn't wake up?" I looked out of the window and saw that it was dark outside, which means I must have been asleep for at least 4 hours straight.

Did I really see the sun go down at the beach when it's dark here?

The confused expressions still remained with everyone, but Addison was the first to recover. "After you fell asleep, some strange unexplainable things happened and before you start demanding to know what it is, we'll tell you later." She looked at Ethan and Blake who were trying to cover that they weren't glaring at each other.

What's up with those two?

Ethan came closer to me and Blake growled. "If you touch her I'll rip your head of your body." His voice was so demanding and angry that it made me shiver. I had never seen Blake like this towards Ethan. Sure he was a bit jealous this morning. Oh shit and of course the part where I was in heat.

Let's forget about the last part.

Ethan surprisingly didn't back down and growled back, taking a step towards me. "I have to know Blake, I just want to know if there's something wrong." It seemed that Blake still wasn't impressed with what Ethan said. My confusion just grew by the seconds. "It's not like I'm going to have sex with her right now." Ethan added.

"Damn right we are not! I'd rather eat my own vomit!" I said raising my voice. Blake laughed while Ethan snorted. "Now tell me what the hell this is about." I said putting Blake's hand in mine. The usual sparks we have while we touch was intensified. Blake sighed with relief while I just frowned. Is this because I touched Abby?

"Weird question Kate, but can you touch my hand, like you're doing with Blake now." Ethan asked with a nervous voice.

I nodded and let go of Blake's hand to touch Ethan's. When our hands touched I saw Abby in a split second, sitting on the beach in her beautiful white dress. When I saw Ethan again he looked dissapointed.

"What's wrong?" I asked him through mind-link

"When you had your dream, I accidently touched your hand. I felt sparks like how you feel them with Blake. So I thought you were my mate for a moment. That didn't excite Blake that much and that's kind of how we got in a fight." He said back through our link.

He's Abby's mate, I thought to myself. I touched Abby with my hand while he accidentally touched my hand.

That reminded me of what Abby had told me on the beach. "Guys we have to go to the kitchen right now! I know it's weird and I can't explain now why but we really have to go to the kitchen."

"I'm in the kitchen, what do you need Kate." Jennifer yelled from the kitchen.

I ran with a supernatural speed to the kitchen. Everyone followed me. In the kitchen I saw Jennifer with a glass of water and a banana. I noticed a note on the kitchentable.

"Jen, can you hand me that note please?" I asked. Jennifer put her glass down and handed me the note.

On the note was written: For Katharina

"I recognize that handwriting, I just don't know where from." Blake said from behind me.

I opened the card.

Dear Kathy,

I have to say, I thought you were smarter than this. You really thought I would just give up? I took someone with me and you will never find her again. She also goes by the name Abby sometimes. For me she's just an object that stands in the way of what I want. And what I want, is you my sweetest Kathy.

Xo Scott

You will want to help Abby because I cured her. She has aged now. You're probably the only person that knows who her mate is, since Abby is only able to contact you and Blake because of your gifts.

"Fuck." I whispered.

"What's wrong?" Mark asked.

"Scott took Abby." I looked at Ethan, looking at what his reaction is. His face turned sad but then angry.

"There's also something else isn't there." Addison asked her eyes scanning my face, immediately seeing something else was still bothering me.

I turned to Ethan. "Abby is your mate."

Soo... I'm in my graduation year. I thought I had more time for writing but I found out I have zero time for writing. I love writing and I love wattpad but I hate that I can't update regularly.

On top of having no time I'm also stressed about school, I just had my first exam week and I feel like (sorry for my language) I fucked up reaaaal bad.

I'm trying to stay positive. And I'll try to update more regularly because after this book I want to write more books.

I'm sorry that you had to wait extremely long for this chapter. I'm going to try to update more often but it's literally impossible.

I'm going to try though☺

I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
