Waiting To Bloom (BL)

chapter 19

Sebastian brought Shawn to me, and from the look on his face, it was clear that he was already mortified. I could feel my patience waver as I searched his eyes for answers. My heart raced, my mind struggling to comprehend what Sebastian was about to tell me.

"Shawn, where is my baby sister, Risha?" The words tumbled out of my mouth, mixed with a mix of anger and desperation. The air in the room grew heavy as I tried to suppress the overwhelming urge to harm someone.

Shawn's face paled as he stammered, "I... I don't know. I was supposed to keep track of Risha while everyone else dealt with the bomb in the backyard... But somehow, she got misplaced."

I could feel my blood boiling as the fury surged through my veins. How could he have let something like this happen? Risha was my responsibility, and I trusted Shawn to take care of her. But now, she was gone, and I struggled to contain the thoughts of ending Shawn's life for failing me.

Time seemed to freeze as I stood there, paralyzed by the weight of the situation. But deep down, I knew that finding Risha was my only objective. I had to push aside the anger, the thoughts of revenge, and focus on bringing my sister back safely.

Shawn, realizing the gravity of his mistake, pleaded, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen. We need to find Risha, she's just a child..."

His words snapped me back to reality. Anger could wait; Risha needed me now more than ever. I took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm raging inside me. "You're right, Shawn. We need to find her, now."

Together, Shawn and I retraced our steps, searching every corner of the house. The fear in Shawn's eyes mirrored my own as we collectively moved room to room, calling out Risha's name. Panic threatened to consume me, but I fought against its suffocating grip.

Hours turned into eternity as we combed through every inch of the house, our hope waning with each passing minute.

Once Shawn, Sebastian, and I searched the entire mansion, it became horrifyingly true that Risha was nowhere to be found. Panic bubbled up inside me as I realized my baby sister and Takeru were missing. It was clear that they must have been taken, and I knew I had to act fast.

Determined to find them, I called on the Gemini Twins, notorious for their unparalleled tracking skills. These skilled assassins were known for their ability to locate anyone, even those who were presumed dead. I gathered my trusted team, knowing that only their expertise could help in this desperate situation.

We wasted no time, mobilizing ourselves to scour every camera and trail that might lead us to Risha and Takeru. The clock was ticking, and I knew that every second counted. As we embarked on our mission, fear gripped my heart, but I pushed it aside, focusing on the task at hand. Failure was not an option.

The Gemini Twins led the way, following their instincts and years of experience. With determination coursing through our veins, we combed through every inch of the mansion. Room by room, corridor by corridor, we left no stone unturned.

As we pieced together clues and gathered information, a terrifying reality began to take shape. It seemed that Risha and Takeru had indeed been taken, but the magnitude of the situation remained unknown. Unsettling thoughts clouded my mind, and I feared the worst.

Hours turned into days as our search stretched on. Exhaustion weighed heavily on each member of the team, but none of us were willing to give up. We relied on our unwavering determination and the unwavering expertise of the Gemini Twins.

As days passed, our search for Risha and Takeru never stopped. Every moment that ticked away brought a gnawing fear to my heart, intensifying the terror that I would find one of them lying lifeless. The thought of losing Risha, a young and kind soul, seemed unbearable. I had devoted five precious years to raising her, doing my best to shield her from a society that sought to annihilate her for the simple reason of being born an Omega rather than a Beta. And now, someone had snatched her away from my protective embrace.
