Chapter 17 : Pretty Little Liar

~ P.O.V Ally ~

It was hot, extremely hot. Sweat dripped from my forehead as I walked through the many galleries of Angkor Wat. She could be anywhere. The complex was enormous, and just with the four of us we wouldn't have enough men to cover every single square meter. Whatever it was, Dave and Jennifer were worried, and thus I was determined to find her.

I climed up a steep staircase to the top of a small temple. It would be a great look out point, as you would have a wide view of the whole property. As I reached the top the phone I had gotten started to ring.

"Yes? What's up?" I answered.

"Have you found her yet?" The voice of Jennifer squeaked. The connection was bad, but thankfully we could communicate.

"No, I'm sorry. I will though, I promise." After my last word I hung up. I sat down on the top and started to look for a blonde wandering alone through the old bricks. It was a bit naïve, thinking that Sarah would be the only blonde around here. Luckily I knew what she wore. How would I forget actually. A short red dress with brown sandels. She had prepared her clothes the night before, and I saw her placing them down on the nightstand next to her bed. From my first impression I had never thought that she was a dress person, but it fitted her perfectly fine.

Why am I thinking about clothes as I need to find the person who wears them.

I shook my head and kept searching, hoping that I would spot the red dress in the sea of people. After ten minutes of looking I gave up. I sauntered down the steep stairs and made my way to another small building. My eyes flickered from left to right. I reacted every time I thought I saw something red, but most times it was just a fat western tourist.

"Jennifer? Dave?"

I jumped when I heard the familiar voice. It sounded not so far away from me, but she didn't sound strong, either more weak.

"Ally?"

"Sarah! Where the fuck are you?" I yelled. I was standing on green grass, a forest on my left side, a temple on my right side. I didn't hear the voice again, but I figured that Sarah wouldn't play a bushman today, so I ran towards the temple.

"Jennifer?!"

The same voice yelled. She sounded afraid, anxious even.

"Sarah, it's me, Ally. Where are you?"

I found myself in a long gallery. On each side of me were columns made out of the same old grey stone the whole temple was made of. And there I saw her, head down, body almost lifelesly. Sarah sat down against a column, not making any movements. I ran towards her and kneeled down.

"Hey. Sarah? Answer me." I said while I grabbed her head with both hands. I flicked my finger against her cheek, but there was no reaction. She was extremely pale, her chest raising slowly.

"Oi, Sarah wake up." I flicked again, this time a lot harder. Her eyelids trembled and after a few second her eyes slowly opened. She blinked a few times, but her glance remained one gigantic blur.

"Thank god you're awake." I sighed in relief. I looked at her face, but she tried to avoid my glance.

"Sarah, what the fuck happend?"
