Raising Hope

"Hey."

Oxy turned her head. Selena and Hydro joined Oxy on the balcony. The two of them climbed over the railing, then sat there beside Oxy.

"The fog is thinning," said Hydro, observing around.

"That means it will be soon nighttime," Oxy said. "When night falls, the fog disappears."

"Sounds terrible," Selena pressed her knees to her chest, hugging them. "How can we get out of here?"

"Your father said we were lost here," Hydro said. "Ahh... I hadn't even said goodbye to my adoptive parents yet." he sighed.

Hydro's words reminded Oxy of Grace and Darren in their real world. Grace might have been worried when she find Oxy had not come home yesterday night.

But Darren might have been glad for her disappearance, because there was no Oxy anymore, the adopted children who always distracted his parents.

And Bill... Oxy's an adoptive father... He was one of the people who opened the gate of dimension.
