-Ahri POV-

Right after Asriel and 2B left to find a quest on the guild, Marie suggested to pay a visit to Horace and Adelyn since they told us that her daughter would be on the city. I was curious too, so I went with them. We were on the streets almost on the edge of the urban zone, while we were walking a food stand called my attention, it was little and sell various snacks, specifically the chocolates called my attention, I was a huge fan of it after all, I call it my little addiction. Curiously enough I gave some chocolate to Asriel some weeks ago and he simply loved it, I think he loved that first chocolate more than he loved me back then. However, I stopped for a moment to buy a couple of them, I paid them and looked back to the others, but they weren't there anymore, and when I looked to the food stand, it wasn't there either.

The entire street became empty all of a sudden. I looked everywhere searching for an explanation, but there wasn't anyone around; at least that's what I thought, but then a voice called me, a voice that I never imagined that I would hear on this world.

???: Soon my little fox, you'll be broken as I promised, and then, you'll be my precious doll. Emotionless, unwilling, perfect.

After that I felt a hand grabbing my shoulder, I turned instantly with a fire orb ready on my hand, but the only one there was Blake. The people returned without me even noticing it, I looked everywhere confused and scared. The bag of chocolates were still on my hand, but I didn't care on that moment. I dispersed the fire.

Blake: Ahri, are you ok? Did something happen?

Me: I-I'm not sure, I guess it was my imagination. Don't worry.

As I kept walking through the street I was paying completely attention to my surroundings, looking for anything suspicious. But nothing came to my eyes, or my ears, just the usual city noises.

Soon after we reached the rural area, however I was still aware of everything round me. The others noticed this and asked with concerned expressions.

Weiss: Are you feeling alright Ahri?

Me: Huh?

Blake: Yeah, you seem distant since you bought those chocolates.

Yang: Maybe they have a little bit of alcohol?

Me: N-no, I don't like that kind of chocolates, is just that I thought of something and it has been nailed to my head.

Marie looked at me with a serious look, Renard too, they probably noticed that I'm nervous. But that's only natural, I hoped to never hear that voice again, if it was really him, then I'm going to kill him once and for all.

However, I didn't pay more attention to that and kept walking. Thinking it well, we could use a taxi or something, there were vehicles on this world, but honestly, I prefer to walk, I never liked the individual vehicles idea.

When we finally reached the house, we didn't saw anyone out, but I can feel three souls inside the house, I knew well Horace and Adelyn's souls, but the third one was someone I've never meet, but since it had the same essence that the married couple I assumed it was their daughter.

They were walking towards the principal door for our luck, moments after they opened the principal door and saw us, the usual couple greeted us with warm smiles.

Horace: Jojojo! What a great surprise!

Adelyn: You came to meet our daughter, isn't it?

Marie: Indeed! We are exited to meet the daughter of gentle and cute people like you!
