H A R R Y-

Anne sat very still on the couch as I stirred my coffee. She looked pale, tired, as if sleep hadn't come easy to her. I could understand. Ever since Elena disappeared, I really couldn't sleep. I didn't want to. I felt like if I did, I'd miss Elena knocking at my door and telling me she wanted to be with me. That we could be together with no problems, that this was all a nightmare.

But it fucking wasn't.

After my encounter with Zayn, I decided to take matters into my own hands. It was unbelievable that someone could be so careless and unaffected by her disappearance. It was like he seemed more relaxed now, like she was finally out of the way.

My thoughts went back to the party. How upset she had been when he yelled at her, how he had just dragged her out of there like it was no big deal. Why was it so easy for him to belittle her and humiliate her?

No one could convince me that she wasn't drugged. Something very bad happened that night.

I had been able to hire a private investigator and was hoping it would move things right along. Zayn would be the first person that the PI would try to dig up information on.

"I know about you and my sister," Anne spoke softly, her eyes hurt. "She told me a few days ago over the phone."

I took a deep breath. "What did she say?"

Anne sniffled. "That you two were going to run off somewhere, that you wanted to be together."

"I've always loved Elena..."

Anne interjected. "I know, Harry. But i'm scared that someone else knew that too, and took her. She wouldn't just run away."

"I've hired a private investigator, I want to find her."

"It drives me crazy not knowing what happened to Elena. It's like the earth swallowed her whole. There is nothing. There is nothing on her phone records. Nothing on traffic cameras. Where is she?"

I want to find words to comfort her, to make the pain her family feels subside. But Elena was the only one who could do that. She had been missing for 3 days and there was no leads yet.

Everything looked so gray without her. There was no point in going to the library and sitting on the other side of the bookshelf she looked through just so we could see each other but not be seen. No point in walking through the path she loved so much, that lead to the heart of the forest, if she would not be there waiting for me. I was so torn. If she didn't come back... Fuck. I didn't even know what i'd do.

"Have they questioned Zayn?" Anne asked me, taking a small sip of coffee.

"Not yet. I doubt they will. As much as I hate to admit it, Zayn's family is more powerful than the police department. If there is something shady going on, it will never be uncovered."

"That's what I fear the most. You don't know how it was, Harry, the day she left with him. She didn't want to go, but she's terrified of him."

Anne was crying now, shaking her head as she remembered some distant memory. "We didn't know it was like this. She told us she was just nervous lately and we believed her, I mean it's Zayn. We thought the world of him."

I suspected there was something she wasn't telling me. "Anne... does Zayn know something I don't?"

"W-what do you mean?" Anne appears anxious, still very upset.

"Elena and I... you know about our affair. So does Mina, which is why she agreed to be my girlfriend to put up a front. Does he know?"

"No, he has no idea. There's no one that could have told him. Harry, I think if anyone knows, its you. Elena only had you."

I think about the note and I decide it's time to talk. Something bad is clearly happening and maybe that note could shed some light.

"Elena gave me a note, a few weeks, almost a month ago. We thought we wouldnt be able to see each other for a while. So she told me to open it if something bad happened."

Anne gasped softly. "She knew... Jesus Christ."

I took the cigarette pack out of my hoodie pocket and pulled the note out from it. It was a neatly folded piece of notebook paper.

Anne watched as I carefully unfolded it and read it, not even sure what it was supposed to be. The words were obviously easy to read, but not the map.

"Every tuesday, heart of the forest. 3am."

"What is it supposed to be?" Anne sounds defeated. She was expecting more.

"A map? Coordinates?"

I don't understand anything. Was she here?

"Whatever this is, we need to figure it out quick. The sun is setting already, so we have a few hours to get moving and figure it out."

"I'm scared, Harry. I'm not sure what we're going to find."

I looked at her and back at the coordinates. "If we find anything at all."
