SHE HAS TO SAVE HIM

Ashley watched him go, feeling a mix of emotions. She was angry with Xander for getting himself into this mess, but she was also worried about Chris. She knew he was putting himself in danger, but she also admired his loyalty.

“Stupid boy,” she muttered under her breath. She knew she had to go after him. She started running down the street, her heart racing. She caught up with Chris at the corner, both of them panting and out of breath.

“Are you crazy?” Ashley said, grabbing Chris’ arm.

“We have to save him,” Chris said, his eyes wild.

Ashley took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She knew Chris was right. They couldn’t just leave Xander to his fate.

“Okay,” she said. “Let’s do this.”

Ashley stopped a bike in the middle of the road, Chris got in behind her, sitting extremely close. She looked around, trying to catch sight of the van that had just abducted Xander. The street was deserted except for a few parked cars. The sun had just set, casting an orange glow on the horizon
