The New Light of Hope: Books I to VI.

Chapter XXIV: Missing.

Aurora:

Two days had passed after we escaped the cave and we still continued with our duties regardless of what had happened. We would make sure to tell the leaders about what had happened that night and about the cave we fell into.
But as we were walking towards the forest, we heard a voice yell: "Heroes!" It was the sound of Chief CrimsonPelt's voice as he ran towards us and once he was close enough where we could here him, he stopped and took a moment to catch his breath. "What's wrong, Chief CrimsonPelt? What happened?" I asked; Chief CrimsonPelt, in a hurrying and panicked manner answered with: "It's BlueFire! He's missing!"

Amethyst: "Missing?! How is he missing?"

Chief CrimsonPelt: "I don't know! The only thing that I know is that when I woke up this morning, me or any of my members couldn't find him anywhere. I was going to send him on a patrol first thing this morning but I didn't see him and when I asked one of my fighters including General WidowPelt, they said they didn't know."

Aurora: "Slow down, Chief CrimsonPelt, you're going too fast."

Chief CrimsonPelt: "My apologies, I'm just so worried."

Aurora: "We know how worried you are, but just please take it slow. Now, did you ask anyone else about his last whereabouts?"

Chief CrimsonPelt: "No, that's why I need all of you to help send out a search party to go and find him and I want all of you to be part of it. Please!"

Amethyst: "Okay, look. We'll organize four patrols; one will look north while one will look south and the other two will look east and west. Once we get to the Forest Spirits, will split up into four and two of us will search with one of the patrols. But two have to stay in the Forest Spirits Division until we come back, but one of us will have to stay behind but also be in charge of notifying Chief CrimsonPelt which patrol comes back. Does that sound like a plan?"

Chief CrimsonPelt: "Yes, it does. Thank you! Follow me!"

He then spun around and led of to the Forest Spirits Division. We could not believe it ourselves; BlueFire, Chief CrimsonPelt's most leal co-leader and his brother, just mysteriously somehow disappeared without reason. He always carried out his duties as usual whenever we were around or not. How could he have gone missing all of a sudden? Well, we would later get out answers.

Amethyst:

Once we made it to the Forest Spirits Division, we did not delay and we quickly began to organize the patrols, once that was all done, Aurora called us. "We're about to leave and I've already decided which one of us are going with who; Me and Milly will be going with the North search party; Amethyst, you and Jemma will take the South; Sadie and Bella will take the East and Abigail will go West. Summer, you are to stay here and inform Chief CrimsonPelt on which patrol comes back." She instructed. "Now, if we're all ready, let's get to searching."
And so we headed off. Now Aurora may have been fourteen at the time when all of this happened, but she was already showing the personality traits of a leader and that is what a leader must always do: To think and plan ahead of time.

Abigail:

I went with the West patrol to help with the search for BlueFire. I remember when hearing about missing persons reports and how with most people who went missing, they were unfortunately found deceased. That is why my parents worried for me and my siblings' safety, because nowadays, people are just unpredictable.
We had a tracker with us during the search to help and try and find or even pick up his scent. During the search, we were at first unsuccessful until the tracker began to pick up something, I picked up the scent too. They followed us and our noses led to wherever the scent was coming from. As we got closer, the scent grew stronger and it became clearer as well. BlueFire! It was BlueFire's scent. That meant we found him! But there was another smell that mixed in with his scent–the smell of blood. If blood was mixed in with his scent then that meant he could have been injured. But we did not hear him let out a cry for help. Oh, something was definitely wrong. And so I moved the bushes and we all walked to the other side. And what we saw was the most gruesome sight ever saw; it was the body of BlueFire.
