-Searching-
Bracken, Seth, and Warren landed in Italy to find Tanu and Vanessa waiting for them.
“Vanessa? What are you doing here?” Warren exclaimed as he ran to her, picking her up and spinning her around, only putting her down to kiss her. “I’m here too,” Tanu said lightheartedly.
“Well, I’m not engaged to you,” Warren said, still holding Vanessa.
‘We figured that we’ve all been searching for Kendra for so long, being this close called for the whole team.” Vanessa said, walking over to hug Seth. She skipped a hug with Bracken, not that he minded. He and Vanessa had been on okay terms for a few years but hugging was not in those terms. “So what’s the game plan?” Tanu asked, leading the way to the car. “Head to where Ronodin is supposed to be and wait for him or Kendra,” Seth said. Bracken just hoped that they would only find Kendra and not Ronodin. The group got in the car and headed to their destination.
On the car ride, Bracken tuned out the conversation while looking out the window. He took out the necklace he had found outside the bari. He felt certain it was Kendra’s, but the only proof was that it was shaped like a unicorn. Even though he didn’t know if it was Kendra’s having it made him feel close to her again. Bracken did cherish all of his friends and they had all helped each other through the past few years but that didn’t mean he didn’t wish Kendra was there every day. “Hey,” a voice said jarring Bracken from his thoughts, surprisingly it was Vanessa. “You know we’re going to find her right? Don’t look so worried,”
“Yeah, I know. I just hope she wants to be found.”
They were walking around the city when Bracken saw something shining from the corner of his eye. He looked over and saw Kendra walking away from them, but her glow was different somehow. Not any less bright but different. “There, I see her. She just went around the corner.” Bracken said taking off toward the same direction Kendra was going. When he turned the corner she was gone. “What?” He breathed out.
“She must have gone into a building we need to find where.” Warren said coming up from behind Bracken, “Look for a secret entrance or something. we’ll have someone stay here in case she comes back this way.”
“Okay, I’ll start looking.”
