A/N: OK, so I've just come back from Ibiza; which is where I went on holiday! And this Idea just hit me like a sack of Spanish potatoes. This story is alot more morbid then I would usually do, but YOLO right? (You Only Live Once) ENJOY!
Children being taken from public places is relatively common, them being found again is 1 in 100 chance, but a teenager being taken from off a Bus is unheard of and the chances of finding her? Well, that's left up to the people in charge.
A year ago, on July 21st 2011, Caterina Hannah Valentine was taken off Bus 112, when she went to go meet her friends at Venice beach; it was a mile walk from the bus stop, and the man who took her- A stranger. People had warned her about men in white vans, indeed. But no one had thought about people offering to walk her somewhere at ten past nine at night. Ad when she didn't turn up for the beach sleepover, everyone; including her best friend Jadelyn West, had thought nothing of it, only that she had no cell service and that she was too scared to get the bus alone.
7 months ago: The Police gave up looking for her.
6 Months ago: Jade fell deeper into her bottomless pit of depression, but still never gave up hope.
5 Months ago: Robbie got of rid of Rex, he had no need for him, he had no need for anything anymore.
4 Months ago: Beck and Andre almost got arrested for threatening to assault a police officer after their anger got the best of them after overhearing Cat's case was a 'Cold One'.
3 Months ago: Tori's dad told her there was no hope.
2 Months ago: Cat's dad left, unable to deal with it anymore.
1 Month ago: They all received a note, with a picture of Cat in a small room. No windows. No door. No clothes.
The note read;
Dear Tori/Jade/Andre/Beck/Robbie.
First of all; you go to the police: You die, she dies, your friends die.
Secondly; Caterina is alive and it's your task to find her before I sell her out of the country as either a prostitute or sex slave.
You have precisely 3 months to find her, every other week you will receive a clue or picture.
You can have NO outside help; that includes your father Tori Vega.
Once you have figured it out; you may not tell the police, you will come to the location and get her and take her yourself.
Do NOT try and outsmart me; fore there is no point. I am a genius; smarter than all of you put together.
And remember; me taking Caterina, was ALL of your faults.
Jadelyn West: You were her best friend; you're all she ever talks about. You let her down that night, she needed you, and you left her to get hurt. I guess I should thank you really; if you weren't so careless, I would never even have Caterina now, so thank you. You got her taken.
Beckett Oliver: She loves you; maybe you can't see it, since you're so in love with Tori Vega.
Speaking of whom, steals everything from the incredibly talented Caterina; the leads, the solos, Daniel and now Beck.
Andre Harris: Not giving Caterina a lead singing role when you were infatuated with Jade was a mistake! Caterina would've sung that perfectly yet you gave it to Tori.
Robbie Shapiro: Why do people compare Cat to you? She's not weird or crazy, like you are! She's unique, funny, and beautiful! Hell; she's even nice to me and I 'took' her, as the police so brutally put it!
I never took her! I unburdened from that hell she called life; constantly fading into the background.
Good Luck.
A Stranger On A Bus.
