We Are on the Same Boat

“Cj!”

Cj is interrupted by the loud voice coming from the opposite side of the door. One loud and harsh opening of it disturbed the room’s calmness.

Sebastian and Sophia appeared before their eyes, both are gasping for air.

“Cj—!” Sebastian stopped midway when he met Cheska’s confused, sitting on her bed, wide awake. “You’re…”

Even Sophia is surprised. They didn’t know Cheska is already awake. But to what she looks like now, she doubts she just woke up.

Their eyes went to Cj, about to ask Cheska’s current state when they saw something strange from it.

It’s shaking. He’s looking at them with surprise. Is he surprised with their arrival?

But that’s an absurd reason.

Something is up.

“What’s wrong?” Cj asked breaking the silence.

Sebastian took a deep breath first before answering, “Alexandra is missing. She’s not in her room.”

Both of the siblings’ foreheads creased. Cj stopped looking at them sideways and faced them properly.
