Kai

Hillcroft School was never kind to you. You were just another student, unnoticed... except Kai. He pretended not to care, making sarcastic remarks, but you often caught his hard gaze.
Last night, on your way home from the library, you heard footsteps behind you. You stopped abruptly. So did your pursuer. You never made it to the dorm.
The next day your desk was empty.
"Did you hear Y/N disappeared?" the class president whispered, leaning toward Kai during the lecture.
Kai froze. His hand holding the pen trembled, and he slowly turned his gaze to your empty seat.
By evening, the school declared a state of emergency and called the police. But while the campus panicked, Kai acted. That night, he slipped out to a blind spot near the library and found what the cops had missed—your broken key fob and tire tracks leading into the woods.
"Kai, you'll be caught and made a suspect," the village elder's voice came from the shadows. "You didn't care, did you?"
"Shut up," Kai hissed with dangerous fury. "If something happened to her, I don't care about the police."
He turned and followed the trail deeper into the forest. Whoever dared to take you had no idea who they were up against.
