Vanish into Thin Air

Lesley

I got up early in the morning.The Mansion was restored and Its seems like a normal day after the incident. My injury was healed but I lost my eye and covered it with an eyepatch. The Vance family adopted me since my father passed away and I'm now living as Harley's older sister.

*-------

I headed for the kitchen and cooked a meal for the four of us. The cook was unfortunately caught in the gunfire and it might take some time to find another one so I took on this task of preparing the meals for the family ,even if there were maids.

As I cooked, Harley appeared. He was still sleepy and was rubbing his eyes.

*yawn* "What are you cooking?"

"Just the usual ham and egg"

*pout*

He sat down and I put the ham and egg in his plate. He just looked at it. There were black circles below his eyes and he looked so tired.

I laughed.

"What's so funny?!" He furiously asked

"Oh nothing. You looked so stressed out that I don't even recognize you."

*Hmph* "I just slept late, that's all"

"You slept late again? for what? You know it's gonna affect your height,right?"

"Like you care!" he slammed his hands on the table. He seemed angry but he still looks cute.

*giggle* "Of course,I do. Most girls don't like short boys"

*grrr* he grinned his teeth and crossed his arms.

"All right, just finish your breakfast"

He ate his breakfast while still mad at me. Then he went into his room. Mother and Father ate their breakfast and went on to do their own work. I left the cleanup of the table to the maids and started practicing my rifle.

*-----

I was out in the forest with some butlers to help me carry my hunts. Mother and Father actually wanted to buy livestock for me to hunt with in the garden but I said I would just use the nearby forest. I left the butlers in front the forest and hunted on my own. As I continued walking,I saw a lone deer nearby the stream. I stood by and waited for the right moment to strike. I was able to kill it with just one hit and then continued. Using my stealth ability and my accuracy,I was able to hunt 5 rabbits and 2 deers.

"That should be enough for now."

I was about to go back to call the butlers when I sensed the presence of someone who was watching me. I looked around and saw no one. I was very sure someone is watching me. Out of habit,I used my stealth ability to escape. As I did so,I saw a faint silhouette that was following me,but I couldn't make a figure of it. It was so fast,my eyes can't catch up. When I was near the entrance to the forest ,It suddenly changed direction and stopped following me. In a second, all could see was a purple cloth in the air then it disappeared.

I met up with the butlers and instucted them to bring my hunt back home. I went on ahead of them and went straight to my room. I slept for a while then got up to make lunch.

*---------

We had our lunch, the four of us, then went on to do our own businesses. Since,I had already practiced my rifle,I spent the whole afternoon sleeping.

"Lesley! Lesley!"

I woke up.

"Yes?"

I opened my eyes and saw Mother looking nervous.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"It's Harley. He...He's Gone!"

"What?"

"After we had finished our work, we decided to go to Harley to see what he was up to. When we got inside of his room,He looked at us and smiled then simple vanished. We had all Butlers and Maids look for him but he is nowhere to be found!. Please Lesley find your brother."

She was very scared. Who wouldn't? Their son just vanished then wasn't found.

"Normally ,he would just be around the Mansion but now he's not."

"I will find him,Mother. I promise,I will"

Since he's not in the mansion,I thought to look into his room for clues of his location. I found countless books and spells on the floor. Most of the books were for short distance teleportation.

'So he teleported? No wonder he stayed up all night. He was practicing his Magic for teleportation'

I looked around more and saw a pin board. There was a map and there were arrows all over. There was one location where there's a small red pin. It blended perfectly with the arrows that you will be able to only see it up close. That pin was in the center of the map.

'So that is where you're going?'

I packed my needed things then asked to leave the mansion to look for Harley. They both bid me good luck then I went on my way.

I walked out of the mansion at Dusk. Heading to the so called 'Land of Dawn'.
