Chapter 23

Warning! Some parts of this chapter contain mild violence.

Scully's POV

It was already 8 in the morning when all of us were awake. The newlyweds were ready to go on their honeymoon.

Mulder and I were helping Monica and John put their bags into their car. While Aira was chasing butterflies nearby.

I took a glance at my daughter as she was laughing when the butterfly landed on her nose. Then I continued putting bags in the car.

It took us 20 minutes to walk back and forth carrying things. When it was time to say goodbye to the newlyweds, I looked for Aira.

"Aira! Aira baby, Aunt Monica, and Uncle John will go now. Come on baby let's say goodbye!" I called out. But when she didn't answer. I walked a little farther and called her out. Still no answer. Then I started to get worried. I looked left and right. "Aira! Aira honey! Please come out! This is not funny anymore! Baby..." then I stepped on something soft. When I looked down I saw my baby's stuffed toy fox. I picked it up and my heart beat fast, as tears came rushing down my face "Aira! Aira!" I walked a little closer to the woods and I saw Aira's hair clip stuck in the bush.

"No...no..." I stepped back, I kept on pushing my thoughts away that Aira was kidnapped. No. She...she's just here...no...

I still called her out but it was just silence. And I ran back to Mulder and the others.

Mulder's POV

We were talking and laughing when Scully came running and it sounded like she was crying as she called out my name.

"Scully? Are you okay.?" I asked.

She was indeed crying, hysterical to be exact. And I started to get worried.

"Dana?" Monica asked worriedly.

"Aira! Aira is missing! I...I can't find her..." She looked at me her soft blue eyes were now filled with fear and tears.

"What?!" I can't believe what I heard.

"I found this in the woods.." she showed us Aira's stuffed toy and hairclip. " I can't find her! Mulder! We have to find her!"

My heart beat so fast so I ran and went to the woods. John followed me while Monica stayed and comforted Scully who was shouting Aira's name.

"Aira!" I called.

"Aira!" John called.

"Aira!!!!"

After two hours of searching, we can't find her. I put both of my hands in each side of my head, I was so desperate to find her that I was about to enter deeper into the woods but John stopped me.

"Fox!" he said as he gripped my arm

"Let go of me, John! I need to find her! She's out there!" I shouted.

"I called the police they will be here. They know the woods more than us" he said

"No... I will find her John! Scully is out there waiting for her baby....my baby" Tears started falling from my eyes.

John worriedly said "I know man but it's dangerous out there..."

"And Aira is there! In danger!" I shouted. "She is just a 5-year-old little girl, John... She can't... She can't..." I couldn't even finish talking because I was sobbing. I can't take it if something bad happens to her. Oh God please no!

Then the police came. Some of them went deeper into the woods and the sheriff talked to John. As I looked around with desperation. Then John told me to go back to Scully and let the police handle the situation.
