Library of Ruina 'We stand again'

Chapter 11: The floor of technological sciences

Lily's POV

Right now I was sitting in the dining room of the library eating breakfast with Ms. Petra, she was looking after me while Daddy and Mr. Roland went to fight some Hook office.

Petra: So Lily, how've you been handling all of this?

Lily: Um, well this library and the people that keep coming here are scary but I know my daddy won't let anything bad happen to us.

Petra: Yeah...he really is a good man...(Sigh) you don't see that much these days (She said resting her chin on her hand and looking up at the ceiling)

Lily: Yeah, but I still wanna go home, I miss mommy and grandma and everyone else back home...do you think we'll ever make it home again Ms Petra.

Petra: Of course we will, your dad promised that we would all make it back and he never breaks a promise...I say that from experience.

Sarah's POV

Currently I was just sitting at home by myself, I'm pretty sure that I've been going through depression ever since my husband and daughter went missing, and even though I'm not working as a fixer I have heard from Nathan about the kind of things he has to deal with on a daily basis.

All the horrible things that began to happen ever since 'the city' was built, it's almost as if this whole place is just some gigantic prison just waiting to kill of some poor unsuspecting soul while the people are forced into a system where they believe that the only way they can make a living is by putting others down.

But back to the issue involving Nathan and Lily, I'm trying to stay hopeful but...I think deep down I know that I might never see them again, and no matter how much it tears my heart apart I might have to come to terms with the fact that they- that their-

Knock knock

Sarah: Huh?

Who could that be?

I got up out of my chair before making my way towards the the front door, I looked out the peephole and saw that it was Parker and he was carrying some sort of metal case.

I opened up the door and said.

Sarah: Hello Mr Johnson, what brings you here?

Parker: Um Sarah listen...this is...well it's about Nathan and Lily.

Sarah: What's wrong? Did you find them? Do you know where they are?

Parker: No but...can I come in first?

Sarah: Of course (I said stepping aside and letting Parker in)

We both walked over to the dining room where he set the case down on the table.

Parker: So...I don't know where they are but...I have an idea as to what happened to them (He said before opening the case and letting me look inside it)

Sarah: (Gasp) I- is that- (I asked in disbelief)

Parker: Yes...it is

It was Nathan's sword Twilight...but-

It was broken in half.

Nathan's POV

Ok so me as Roland managed to deal with that Hook office, they were a decent challenge but ultimately they were just a bunch of low ranked fixers, just goes to show that not everyone is meant for this profession but in this day and age it's the thing that's really paying, sure you can get a job for a corporation but those are really difficult to get into and unless you have a lot of money or good connections then working for a corporation is practically impossible...makes me wonder how Tony managed to nail a job with W Corp.
