Aiden's Mark

Chapter 1

Aiden struggled against the hands of the strange boy who held him down in the backseat of his car. His head throbbed where Lolly had hit him, and he glared at her when she climbed in next to him. “Wait! We can’t leave yet. What about Dee?”

“Sit down, Aiden,” Eliza said from her seat behind the wheel. “Dee’s gone. She’s not here.”

“No, she has to be. I told her to wait.” Aiden continued to fight, but the combined efforts of the stranger and Lolly was enough to keep him pinned in place long enough for Eliza to start the engine and drive off.

“Dee!”

“Forget her, Aiden,” Eliza said with a sharp note in her voice. “She left you. Can’t you see that? She probably got scared and decided to make a run for it.”

“No, she’d never do that. She wouldn’t leave me,” Aiden insisted, sitting upright. He brushed Lolly and the other boy off with brisk impatience and leaned forward in his seat. “Turn around, Eliza.”

“No, it’s too dangerous.” She met his gaze in the rearview mirror with a mutinous glare, her mouth set in that stubborn line he knew so well from childhood.

“I said, turn around,” he shouted, his hands gripping the backrests of the front seats until his knuckles turned paper white.

Eliza appeared to soften and sighed. “Aiden, please. Be rational. Dee’s gone, and if we go back to look for her, you’ll put everyone in this car in danger. Do you really want to do that?”

Aiden pressed his lips together. She had him there, and she knew it. His twin knew precisely which buttons to push and was well aware that he’d never willingly endanger anyone. He was too noble for that.

“Come on, bro. Let’s just go back to my dorm for now. It’ll be safe there, and we can come up with a plan to find her. I’m sure she’s fine. In fact, why don’t you call her?”

“My battery’s dead,” he said as frustration filled him. Why did everything have to go wrong tonight? First, he forgot to charge his phone, then he invited Eliza and her stupid friend along, and now he’d lost Dee. Still, blood was blood, and he could never have abandoned his sister at that nightclub. The guilt alone would’ve killed him, not to mention his mum and dad when they found out.

“You can charge it at my dorm room. It’ll only take a few minutes, then you can call her,” Eliza replied in soothing tones.

Aiden forced himself through the gap between the two front seats and dropped into the passenger side with a grunt. “Fine, but the moment I hear from her, I’m taking the car and fetching her.” He threw Lolly and her unknown friend a nasty look. “And this time, no one will stop me.”

The strange boy raised his hands, and said, “No problem, trust me. I was just helping Lolly back there. It wasn’t safe, and you weren’t listening.”

“Whatever,” Aiden grumbled as he settled into his seat. The rest of the drive passed in silence as he ignored them all while brooding over Dee.
