-.--.-..-.-...-The sound of the car door slamming open woke Chand up, who's been napping at the back of the van during the whole short ride.
As he looked around, he was left confused as to why they were back at the villa.
He followed the others and went out of the van. Seeing as how his friends were left completely confused at what was going on, Chand decided not to ask them.
"You're finally here," A man, who looked a little older than them, greeted the group as soon as they came back.
A man whom no one knows of except for Pierre.
"Seb?" Pierre didn't expect to see Avery's older brother, much more so in front of Zaxton's villa.
Do they know each other?, Pierre thought. He was sure that he was the only one among their friends who had met him since he frequents Avery's place.
However, Seb only nod his head in recognition and immediately went to Avery. "No one's home, but the gate's open," Seb's statement was loud enough for everyone to hear which caused them to become worried.
"What?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Did something bad happened?" Voices full of worries were heard from the group.
Chand, who heard it as well, felt himself becoming agitated. Something's wrong, he thought and directly went inside the villa without wasting any second. The others also followed him to without any hesitation.
As soon as everyone were inside, they immediately looked for the two. Avery went directly to Kali's room as Seb followed her, while the others looked in other places.
The empty vials caught the youngest' eyes as she went inside Kali's room. The heavy feeling in her heart that had been weighing her down, worsened.
And as she neared Kali's bed, she could see the few droplets of blood on some of her pillows. "Shit," a curse escaped her mouth when she saw it.
Seb, who also saw what his sister had seen, knew that he was too late. "We need to go. Tell me where the nearest hospital is," Seb took a hold of Avery, effectively pulling her with him out from the room.
He had to act swiftly for he knew that any minute now, Avery might actually just lose it—her sanity.
When the two sibling went down to the living room, the others met them. "We've searched the whole property but there's really no sign of them," Ellis spoke.
"Where could they have went to?"
"Maybe they went for a walk?" Phoebe suggested.
"This early?" Xena was skeptical at her friend's statement.
"Kali usually goes for a walk as early as now though," Chand commented. And they immediately remembered how just a few days ago, he and Kali went for a morning walk and left the others behind in the villa. They only came to know after Zaxton had told them that he saw the two that same morning.
Seb cleared his throat which gained everyone's attention. "I have a feeling of where she could be. Avi and I will head there. You guys are free to follow if you want," he stated.
"Wait, who are you, by the way? If you don't mind me asking," Chantal had been curious ever since she saw him. It was the first time they had met him and they weren't even sure if he was a friend of Kali's.
Seb was about to introduced himself to the others but Avery didn't allowed him to, she was afraid of what he'll tell them. After all, their friends still didn't know that Kali's sick.
"This is Seb, he's my brother."
Seb greeted the others but the introduction didn't went on for long as they had a more pressing matter to look into. So, without wasting any more minute, the group headed towards a place where they hope Kali and Zaxton were.
Although what the others didn't expect was for the place to be a hospital.
