March 7th || Location: The Robinson's House || Time: 6:30 pm

It's March now. Yes! March...and no, time didn't skip. But the time between the real world and Ekardian is different. And by different, I mean a lot different. The last time that we saw the characters was in November, in Ekardian.

But here we are again, this time we are with their parents on a sunny, warm day of March.

Basically, the time change between the two worlds is four months different. Not quite a lot but it's still very important in our character's life. Let's go back to the parents now, shall we?

Samantha and Tom Robinson couldn't accept this change in their lives. They couldn't believe that their kids were gone, for good. They were never the same people after that night, the night that their kids went missing.

It was a horrible thing that happened to them. It was like they were...cursed? No, it can't be. They were not the cursed ones here. The cursed ones were their own kids.

Of course, they went to the police but as usual, the police takes quite a long time to find people. Especially when they are not in the same world as them. But they don't know that. Even if they try too hard to find them, they will never succeed. That's because they are not in the same world as them, of course.

Samantha was sitting on the sofa, holding two photographs of her kids and Roxanne's necklace that she gave it to her.

She really misses them. Every parent misses their kids and she was one of them. Her puffy, red eyes couldn't hold the pressure and tears were running on her cheeks.

Her husband was at work. She told him before he left to not go to work, at least for today. But no, he ignored her, as always.

They were not so close as before. That's because Samantha was always locked inside the bathroom and never going out. She was always crying.

It's been four months but she still couldn't believe it. She always thinks that their kids will open the door and hug her. But no. This never came. And probably won't come for four more months.

Suddenly she thought about the woman that she met when she went to the market. Apparently she lost her daughter too. She was the only family member she had. When her husband died she decided to move out with her daughter Sophie to a new country. But two months later her daughter went missing.

The exact day that Samantha's kids went missing too. And what about the other pear of couple that she met the day later? That couple met her to the police station when she went to tell the police about her missing kids. Apparently the couple had two kids. But one of the kids went missing. The boy's name was Aaron, right?

What if they are all together? Clearly this means something. Something that me and the other parents don't know. They must be together. It can't be a coincidence. Samantha was thinking all this crazy stuff. She got lost in her thoughts. She didn't even realized her husband coming inside.

He got back from work, exhausted and tired. "I'm home." She brushed off her thoughts.

"Hey, dear." Her cracked voice finally spoke. He sat next to her on the sofa and grabbed her hand.

"You miss them don't you?" He said. Samantha gave him a warning look.

"Of course I do. But apparently you don't." She got mad.

"I do, but we need to accept that they are gone and they won't come back."

"You promised me that we will find them! That they are not dead and they will come back home!" She yelled at him, who was trying to calm her down.

"I know, but it's been four months. That's way too long to think that they are not dead."

"Don't say that they are dead! They are not! I'm sure they are alive! The police it's just too stupid to find them!" Her husband thought that she was getting slowly crazy. The fact that her kids died made her depressed and crazy.

He was trying so hard to make her feel better and happy but he was always failing. "What now?" She asked.

"I don't know. We just have to wait more I guess." Samantha gave him an angry look.

"I'm sorry." He finally said. Samantha looked up at him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a hug. "I'm sorry for not being the perfect husband that you always wanted." He burst into tears.

"You are an amazing husband and father. We all love you so much. It's not your fault." She said and kissed his forehead. He then hugged her back, still tears were running on his cheeks. Samantha tried to brushed off some of them but the tears were coming fast and hard.

Eventually he fell asleep in her arms. Samantha thought of her kids one more time until she fell asleep too.

This was always happening. They would always cry and then fell asleep right after. This was their routine. Only crying, sleeping, thinking about their kids and the memories they had together.

I need to talk to that woman again and that couple. I need to learn more information. There has to be something with these people. They might now where my kids went, right? Samantha was thinking all of this stuff that did not make her sleep.

She hardly had any sleep. Her doctor was worried for her. She didn't eat and she wasn't getting her medicine as often as she needed. This would only got worst so she needed to be careful. But she wasn't worried about her health now. She was only worried about her kid's health. She wanted to hope and feel that her kids were okay and didn't need their parents help.

That's what a true mother does at least...

Yes.

A true mother...
