Chapter 102 1 love you, Rosalie
**Rosalie‘s POV
A phone was ringing.
It had been ringing for several minutes, and it woke‘me from my sleep.
Theard it from my bedroom, even though I was fast asleep, and even though it sounded like it was coming from far away.
Thinking it was Soren‘s phone, and he would eventually wake up and answer it, I tried to ignore it, but eventually, when he didn‘t, I sat up and rubbed my eyes, deciding I‘d go investigate.
Pushing my feet into my slippers, I put my robe on and headed into the other room.
Soren wasn‘t on the couch. The kitchen clock showed it was already past midnight.
That was weird.
“Soren?” I called, not loud enough for the guards outside to hear and know that there was a problem, but loud enough that he should‘ve been able to hear me if he was in the house.
There was no answer.
“Soren?” I called, a bit louder.
I went and looked in the bathroom, but he wasn‘t there either.
He didn‘t seem to be anywhere.
I decided to follow the sound of the ringing phone, and as I followed it to the study, I noticed that the floor looked odd here.
Strange marks marred the clean floor. They looked like… drag marks.
“What happened?” I whispered.
I got an awful feeling that something bad had occurred, and it was unsettling at the very least.
O
Soren‘s phone was on the top shelf of the closet. I remembered he had been hanging up some clothes for me earlier. He must have accidentally set it up there. I picked it up and looked at the caller ID. 4
It was Thomas calling, and he‘d phoned eight times.
Taking a deep breath, I thought about whether or not I should answer.
If I didn‘t, they‘d come in looking for Soren and realize he wasn‘t here.
My eyes went to the trap door. It was partially open. I knew where Soren had to be. I just didn‘t know why.
Drag marks..
