Doll hunt

Seven months later....

Silence filled the air as blood swept the floor, the people hanging in mid air by chains moved back and forth their eyes losing it's shine.

"Who else?", A male voice echoed sending shivers down the prisoners spine.

"We have only two to transport now the others will be transferred to the Eyes for questioning".

"Okay keep me informed about the transfer and tell Zara about the upcoming update. We don't want her to come here and create trouble for us".

"Really?".

The two men turn to the direction of the voice, who knew that this woman will be here by this time.

"Zara long time no see, how are you?", Shade asked walking towards her, "Heard the hunt is still going on".

Zara smiled, "It is", She answered, "Who knew the Slayers are scaredy cats. I need my own set of prisoners, it is really getting lonely".

Shade smirked, "I afraid that's not possible now. The Eyes has already informed me the transport them to them and I guess you are not only here for that?".

Zara eyed the prisoners. She could recognise some while other not really, "I know you know something that I need. You know she is alive and I need to find her".

Shade narrowed his eyes, "And what do I get in return? You should know I eliminated those who figured out that she's alive... I have been doing your dirty work Zara protecting someone that should be dead and gone".

"I know, thank you for that. She still needs to come with me".

Shade nodded, "Okay".

"This is too small!!", Clara whined throwing the doll back its place, "Hanna I don't know what to choose!!".

Grace who is now Hanna stared at Clara confused, "Really? I think it's pretty".

"No it's not. I need something else".

"Something else? But you have more than enough back home just choose a smiple one so we can get back to mom okay?".

Clara pouted her lips staring at the line of dolls, she wants to buy one for Grace so should play with one, after all this months she noticed Grace doesn't play with her dolls maybe because it belongs to her... but she doesn't want Grace to feel left out.

"Okay. Choose for me".

"What?", Grace asked with a light frown, "You are buying it for yourself Clara not me, l think you should pick".

Clara gave up, 'What a boring person', She thought, "Fine if that is what you want. I choose this one", She took a smaller doll, "It looks like you".

Rolling her eyes Grace walked past her, "We need to head back. Mom might be looking for us, remember you are the one who dragged me here to look for dolls".

"So? It for you! You don't like to play with mine! So this is for you... play with it!", Clara said in a commanding tone, her green eyes looking fierce, "If you don't I will make sure you wear all my clothes for a week", She threatened.

Grace wanted to laugh but remembering the colours of Clara clothes she held her laugh taking the doll immediately, she can't imagine herself wearing pink.

"Good", Clara praised taking her hands, "Now let's find mom".

"Why are you this heartless when it comes to me? You know I don't like dolls".

"Yes I do. But you are going to play with it", She halt and turned around, "I really care for you Hanna. I want you to get your memories back so you can find your family and live with them....".

"Are you upset that Lillian isn't your real mom?", Grace asked cutting her off, Clara is an open book through her eyes she can tell her emotions. Three months ago Clara found out that the woman who is acted like her mother isn't really her mother, she was adopted when she was an infant," Are you mad at her or at yourself?".

Grace question made her freeze, that question... that same question that has been flashing in her head. She remained quiet as her grip on Grace hand loosen, was she angry?.

"I don't know", She answered sincerely, "I think I'm trying to adjust to the news even if it has been months".

"I'm sure you will see them again. We are even on this matter Clara, but think about it we have a step mother who loves us and feeds us and then clothes us. You even have a box of dolls, she cares for us. We are lucky".

That little statement made Clara smile with relief, "Thank you".

"No thank you. Come on, let's go mom might be worried".

The two girls ran to the where their step mother was only to find her talking to the security, Grace noticed her hands trembling.

"Mom!", Clara exclamed running to her, Lillian sighed with relief hugging Clara like her life depended on it, "Where did you go!?".

"We went to get a doll. I picked one for Hanna", She smiled.

"She forced me to take one threatening me", Grace pouted, "I don't want to wear her clothes!!".

"What's wrong with Clara clothes?".

"Pink?"

"Oh?", Lillian laugh at the two girls cuteness it was killing her, "Hanna, Clara clothes are cute. And Clara no threatening, that's bad", She scolded, "Okay since you two went for a doll hunt how about we go for ice-cream?".

"Okay!", They agreed.

When Lillian looked up she caught someone staring at the girls, she looked down at the girls the up the person wasn't staring at Clara... It was Grace!. Alarmed she grabbed the girl and payed for the goods hurrying out of the mall, that is not good, she told herself when they got into the car, it has been happening lately werid people walking past their house and watching them, she always tried to avoid the feeling that Grace is in danger but it was getting to much for her to handle.

Looking at the side mirror, it person didn't follow her.... but when she started the engine of the car the cars beside her started too, she halted, her heart was beating loud that she could hear it, her eyes moved to the left and right the driver's didn't look at her so she relaxed her muscles and her mind before driving off.

"Mom it looks like this cars are following us", Clara said looking at the black cars behind them, "Do you know them?".

"Clara sit down and fasten your seat belt, Hanna you too".

Grace frowned, why is her heart beating like this? Suddenly a flash of memory appeard.
