Moon's POV

Something felt wrong today, but I wasn't sure what exactly it was.

"Moon, have you seen Stella?" Rain asked. 

Oh, that's the reason.

"No," I said. "Why?"

"Nobody has seen her today," Rain told me. "She's not in her room or anywhere in Dreadfort. DO YOU THINK SHE WAS KIDNAPPED?"

"Uh, no? I don't really think so..." I said. "Ember? What do you think? Ember?"

Ember looked upset and guilty. "This is all my fault," he sighed.

Ember told us the whole story about the previous night about how the two got in a fight and Ember had said something that caused Stella to leave. As he explained, he stared at the ground like it was the most interesting thing that ever existed, he wouldn't lift his head up to meet our eyes.

"I'm so sorry," he said, sadly.

Rain didn't yell at him or anything... he just looked... miserable.

"She said it would of hurt less if I had just told her," Ember said.

"She's right, Ember," I told him. "You should never talk behind someone's back."

"Now you sound like my mother," he grumbled and I had to smile despite the situation.

"Should we go after her?" I asked. 

"No," Patrick said, and I have no idea how the hell he got here. "We'll send search parties, but you are not chasing after another girlfriend, RAIN." 

Rain rolled his eyes and looked away with a huff.

Yeah, I seriously have no idea what he means. I thought.

Rain took a deep breath and said to Ember in a firm voice. "I am very pissed off right now, and I think I have every right to, don't you?"

Ember nodded, then whispered fearfully. "Are you going to kill me?"

Rain looked quite surprised to hear this. "No, I might not like you right now, but I'm not a murderer," he said. "And neither is Stella."

Ember looked away, and a silence fell on the three on us.

"Hey guys!" Razer said. "Daryll—" He trailed off once he saw our expressions. "What is it? What did I miss? Hey, where's Stella?"

The rest of the day, Rain sulked around and avoided the rest of us, he seemed focused on something but I didn't dare ask what it was.

But something told me it was something irrational and quite stupid.
