Chapter 13

"...Sebastian?" The old man's gaze mirrored Jay's. 

It seemed as if the old man thought Jay was Sebastian. Dang.

" Uhm , may we please enter? We are shivering out here in the cold. Please."

The old man then made a way for us into the house with a shocked expression on his face.

When everybody was in , the old man led us to a sitting room which was so warm. I wanted to stay there forever.

" How are you...Sebastian?"

The gang's eyes landed on Jay's form.

" Uhm , Sir. I actually need your help. I know this may sound confusing but...I'm not Sebastian. "

The old man furrowed his brows.

" What do you mean? "

" I'm his twin brother. "

Everybody's eyes then landed on the old man , eager to see his reaction.

" ...is that so? Sebastian always talked about his brother but he never said he had a twin. "

Mr Meyers then gave him a warm smile.

" Nice to meet you-" The man urged Jay to continue his sentence with his name.

" Jay. My name is Jay. " Jay smiled back warmly.

I've never seen Jay smile that warmly. Sebastian does a lot but not Jay. It looks good on him though.

" Well , Jay what do you and your dear friends need help with?"

Jay averted his gaze to the carpet.

" Sebastian is...missing. "

Mr Meyers's smile then faltered away.

" How is that possible?"

" We don't know. We went to your neighbour and she said it has what we are dealing with is extraordinary. "

Mr Meyers then nodded.

" Well , I'm sure you guys figured out that you're in the extraordinary , right?"

We all hesitantly nodded in agreement.

" People don't randomly just get sucked into this world. "

We all payed close attention.

" The person is either yearning for something that they lost or is actually , the missing item to this world. "

I really needed 2 minutes to process what he had just said.

" Dad , do you wan-" A lady at the door of what looked like a kitchen I guess , stopped midway in her sentence when she saw us.

" Oh , I didn't know we had visitors. Hello." The lady bowed respectfully with a smile matching Mr Meyers's.

" Oh yes! Uhm kids , this is my daughter , Anastasia. "

We all waved awakwardly at her while sitted on one couch that we all decided to squish into.

" Do you guys want some tea? It's a bit chilly outside. " She chuckled.

" Uh...uh...sure. "

" Coming up." She said turning back into the kitchen.

" I thought...your daughter died?" Jay asked.

What...did he just say?

" Ah , you and Sebastian surely talk alot. Yes , she actually died. "

Say what now? She's a walking corpse.
