*** Lilia's POV**

I walk back home after bidding a goodbye to everyone, hand in hand with Ingrid.

The moon in its peak, and the moonlight gleaming. We reach home to see our dad waiting for us in the living room.

Oh no, we forgot to tell dad!

"Finally, you guys decide to grace me with your presence," dad says, standing up from the sofa.

"Ermm. Dad - - uh..." I stutter, thinking of an excuse. I turn my head, signaling Ingrid to come up with an excuse.

Ingrid is the better liar.

"Dad. Mrs. Potts is missing," she says, shocking both of us.

"What? How? Wasn't she here in the morning?" he asks, completely taken aback. He picks up his phone ready to make some phone calls. 

"Yeah, but we haven't seen her since they, so we assumed she is missing and went searching for her," Ingrid says. 

What is she doing?

"Wait, let me try checking with the sheriff, if they have any idea about this," he says, ringing up the sheriff. 

"Hello, Shelly?", he says, addressing Mrs. Rose, the sheriff, with her maiden name. 

But, that is Em's mother and if she knows what is going on everyone would know. 

They were busy talking and I nudge Ingrid in the side, asking her what is she up to.

She whispers a low "Shush!" and silences me.

"Kids, no one has seen her! A complaint has been filed. The police are on the lookout.," he says in a slightly panicking tone. 

"It looks like the bad times are here, something terrible lurks outside. From today you are to come straight home from school. No arguing as it is for your safety," he says, in a firm tone. But there seems to be an undertone of hesitation and panic. 

We just nod along to his statement. 

"Now go on, it's late. Eat something before you go to bed, " he says and leaves us.

I make my way to the kitchen and see a shadowy figure lurking outside by the window. I turn on the lights and the shadow disappears. Maybe I'm overimagining again. 

I was setting the table when I feel a hand on my waist. From the corner of my eyes I see Ingrid still by the refrigerator.  

Oh, my god! Who could it be?

My instant reaction was to shout, I try yelling but not a single word comes out. I feel suffocated, that was when I realize, someone has a hand on my mouth. The hold on my waist slowly releases and whoever it is, turns me around. I stumble on the way and my head collides with a strong chest. I look up to see the most beautiful pair of blue eyes. 

Kylian !?

"Ouch!" I yell in pain. 

"Shush, it's me," he says.
