New possibility

ZENITH FORESTS

7:00 AM

Lily continued performing her routine errands, trying not to notice the unfair things befalling around. she glanced about the soulless house she lived in, where the newly found family was fragmented into nonexistence. it had been almost a week since Aura had been stolen apart from them, and the time seemed to never pass.

"When will Aura come home?" Daisy had asked the same question, which nobody had the answers to, almost 10 times a day and all Lily had was a smile, reassuring her.

Kazuo had been restless the day Aurora was taken away, he still hadn't got the answers for his "why", and "where" except "who", whom he knew was the same corporation who had stone heartedly took away their healthy lives and destroyed their loved ones.

He was perching in the same spot where Qwezyl was found hurt a week ago when Shirly found him.

"We'll find her" she assured him, and that wasn't new to him, almost everyone he meets tells him the same thing.

"All I want to know is whether she's safe, secure, provided food, only that Shirly, least where and how she is " he held back his tears and looked at her face.

"This ain't a kidnapping, we know it, there were no demands, and Aura is just like any one of us according to them, " Shirley affirmed him, she had come up with this theory the day after Aura was gone, they had been thinking about the several possibilities about her whereabouts.

"We have to do something regarding this, I just can't relax here, laying thinking, I need to get down, do some fieldwork and find her!!" he was on the verge of a breakdown when he noticed a piece of white cloth, a very small one sticking on to the tree bark.

He stood up and removed it slowly and examined it, for the past few days, he suspected everything around him, checked every inch of the place.

"You really should stop getting this paranoid" Shirley was really worried about him.

"Okay, let me ask you something, have we found out why they had bombed yet?" he asked her

"No"

"Have we haven't tried to rebuild our city?"

"No"

"Why haven't we yet raged down that stupid corporation, burnt it down to the ground?"

"And everything is because we are so less in count!! we can't do anything against such a big corporation with only hundreds of people" she answered.

"Yeah, it all comes down to the term that we gave up!! loss doesn't seem to be affecting anyone anymore!!" he shouted.

"Maybe" it was hard to accept the truth when laid out like this.

"Do you think only Aura was taken away?" he looked at and she gave a confused expression.

"Do you remember Andrian? whom we all thought had run away, only because no one was there to confirm he hadn't?" Kaz looked at her and she still hasn't understood what was he up to.

"Maybe he was also taken away!! why run away from a camp with gives you food, water, and shelter? why run away from a newfound family?" he asked her, she looked dumbfounded.

Nobody had second thoughts about this guy, who had neither family nor friends. but now it gave a weird reason for people disappearing suddenly, and It was only noticed when they had loved ones.

Now that they had a possibility, they decided to investigate everyone who had gone missing.
