Searching for Lillian

Recap

" I must find my way back home"

That's when she noticed that she had begun to cry... not wailing... but silent crying. She hated it when she cried, she had always thought of herself as a strong person who would be invincible to anything... but now she's crying because she's home sick..

" I'm pathetic "

7:33 Am. That's when the last of the group of friends decided to get their butt out of bed * cough * Palm * cough * that's when Aria and Marcus decided to share their info on Lillian, Aria had barely remembered what she looked like or her age, the only thing that Aria had totally forgotten was her personality and why they know her. Teara had suggested that they would split up into teams, one goes out to find Lillian, and the other team gathers information on her. They settled on that idea, and thanks to Palm it was called " Operation Lillian ". The first team contained Teara, Palm, and Sparky, it was called " Team Cool Kid XD " while the second team, Aria and Marcus was called "Team Arcus " ( combination of Aria and Marcus ). Team Arcus was sent out to find Lillian or at least clues about her while Team Cool Kid XD searched for pictures, notebooks, or really anything that could help them figure out who she really was.

With Aria and Marcus

The duo walked down the long hallway in silence, hearing the rain pour from the sky, that's when Marcus decided to spark a conversation." How long has it been raining? " he asked. Aria continued to face forward " I dunno... a long time. I'm suprised it's still pouring since it rained so hard last night " she said. " Hmm " Marcus took his eyes off the window and observed the long hallway, the wallpaper was faded and almost dusty looking, the carpet was a rich red despite it being so musty and old, there was a old wooden table that lined up against the wall with a vase on it, that's when Marcus realized.

" um Aria? "

" Yeah Marcus? "

" do you know why everything seems so big? It's like we're ants! "

Aria looked up at the table in confusion.

" what the hell?! " she exclaimed " That's weird... " She looked at it for a minute and decided that they should keep going. Not long after they reached the stairs, they looked down the steps realizing that everything was huge compared to them. How did they not notice before?! Then, one step at a time, they made their way down the velvet steps. When they reached the bottom of the stairs they began searching for Lillian. A few minutes later, Marcus looks over to one of the dark corners and sees a brown, medium sized, dog bed.

" Aria, look! A dog bed " said the boy

" what's so important about it? "

" nothing I guess, but I want to see if there's something inside it! "

" go ahead then "

" come here then! "

Aria sighs as she walks over to the boy. He grins at her, grabs her wrist, and starts making his way to the dog bed. Aria holds her breath as they walk.

Marcus jumps to the edge of the bed and looks in. He looks around until he finds something... a person (?)! Marcus backs up to the edge of the bed, terrified of what he saw. " Marcus? You ok? " said the blonde as she jumped up to the edge to check on the boy. She saw Marcus standing there, looking like he had seen a ghost. " Marcus? What's the matter? " Aria said, Marcus just pointed in the direction of the figure. Aria looked over to see someone laying on their side with loose patches and string keeping them together, they were very beat up. Maybe Lillian had a puppy that took a toy from her and chewed it all up? Aria slowly walked over to the figure and touched their shoulder. To her suprise, they turned over and started to open their eyes a bit. They yawned " morningggg " they said as they stretched out their raggedy arms.

This shook the duo to their core
