Amidst the crowd of different races and colors finding a way to their various destinations stood a figure standing with his bag beside him.
He has a blank expression as he dipped his right hand into his pocket. He brought out his phone, scrolling through the contact list and was about calling a number when...
A figure rushed over to him and engulfed him in a hug.
"I've missed you so much, broto..!" Luna said excitedly.
"Brother.." Ethan corrected her whilst laughing.
"I've missed you too, sisto.." Roman said with a smile.
After exchanging of pleasantries, they left the airport with the car Ethan and Luna came with, driving back to the mansion.

~~ COUNTRY Z, H & K CONSTELLATIONS ~~
Camilla sat in her office with her face palmed. She has been feeling strange lately, like as if she'd go crazy any moment.
She sighed out and lifted her face...
"What's the weird feeling about?? What is happening to me..?" She thought inwardly.
~~ FLASHBACK ~~
"I've checked the records and everything is okay with the branding team.." Tiffany said handing some files to Camilla. As the latter stretched her hand to collect it, her hand brushed Tiffany's and instantly shreds of memories filled into her mind.
It wasn't her's... it was Tiffany's.
It was as if she was walking through her memories.
"I will give you 5 million, be my spy.."
Camilla heard in her head and her ears perked. Looking through Tiffany's memories, the person who said that was none other than Raymond.
"I can't trade my job for anything... I can't be your spy, sir.."
She heard Tiffany's voice in her head and she felt proud instantly..
"Miss, are you okay..?" Tiffany's voice snapped her back to reality and Camilla's body shook involuntary.
What was that?!
Camilla thought as she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
"Am fine.., you can go.."She said as swallow a lump down her throat.
~~ FLASHBACK ENDS ~~
"What in heavens name was that..?!" She screamed inwardly as she took her phone, scrolling through her contacts. She wanted to call Kimberly but sadly, she couldn't get through her. She's been missing her a lot and her parents have been asking of her.
Kimberly was like a sister she never had and not seeing and hearing from her for close to a month now made her worried. Tears slid down her face as she thought about Kimberly. She placed her hand on her chest, feeling the thudding sound and held it tightly.
"Please Kim, tell me you're fine....please" She sniffs,more tears rolling down her eyes.
"I miss you....so much...it hurts.." She said, her palm still placed on her chest as she kept on crying.
"Show me..., show me a sign that you are okay.. please... show me.." Camilla said amidst hiccups.
Suddenly, her heart began thudding loudly that she could see the tip of her shirt moving in unison with her heart beat and her eyes widened.
"Kim?!" She gasped as she blinked her eyes rapidly.
"Kim..? Is that you..?" She called hopefully but rhetorically but got no response.
Heaving a sigh, she blinking her swollen eyes.
"Kim.., I know it's you and I know you are okay.. you are the toughest person I know.."she muttered sadly and wiped her tears.
"But..Is this enough to know if she's fine??" Her subconscious queried and she sighed.
Grabbing her phone again, she scrolled through her contacts and dialed a number but the number was unreachable.
"No.., not now Grandpa.." she muttered dropping the phone roughly on her desk.
*****
~~ INSIDE THE FOREST ~~
Weak.... weakness could be seen written all over Kimberly face as she flickered her lashes open. Everywhere was blurry at first as the morning sun was too glaring. She had to blink her eyes repeatedly to get used to it.
"Urghh..." She released a groaned as a slight headache hit her.
As she woke up feeling like her head was now too heavy for her. She slowly struggled, lifting her upper body weakly. Her left hand moved to her forehead and she let out a moan. Scanning the hut, her eyes searched for only one thing.
Water...
"Wa.. water." She muttered. Her voice was hoarse as her throat was so dry and sore.
Finally she found it, on the bedside table.
Immediately, she took the jug of water on the drawer beside her. She gulped in enough water directly from the jug, finishing the entire water. She didn't bother looking for a cup.
She sighed weakly as she came down from the bed. Getting up from the bed, a pin drop silence ensued as she walked out of the hut.
Kimberly walked out of the hut, she's been feeling bored and she decided to take a walk. Her phone has been off for a while and she couldn't charge it yet because there's no where to. The forest is very far from the urban area.
She began walking till she got to the river where she usually take her bath. She walked to the river and stood two foots from it. She could see her reflection on the water surface and from what she's seeing, she's added a lot.
Old man Chen has been spoiling her a lot with fruits and food lately and she being a foodie, she couldn't resist it.
She smiled at the thought of how she'd usually finish those food and fruit and still ask for more. No one could blame her, old man Chen is a great cook, just like Camilla.
At the thought of Camilla, Kimberly sighed sadly. She's missing her and her parents so much and can't wait to see them again.
"Cam.., I.." she muttered softly as she smiled sadly.
"I.. miss you guys so much.." She said and didn't even realize when a tear slid down her cheek.
At that moment, she squatted to the river.
Wiping her tears, she stared at her face and instantly a silly thought hit her and she smirked naughtily.
Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes tightly.
After a while, her eyes began shaking lightly as if she is reluctant to open it, but nevertheless she did.
And when she looked at the river again, a satisfied grin spread on her face.
"Finally, I did it!" She squealed happily still staring at her reflection which was none other than Camilla's reflection.
She shape-shifted.
