"Stonelight?"

"Can you hear me? Skylar?"

"Reply to me, please? Jenilee?"

"Skylar Jenilee Ashleaf Stonelight?"

"Argh." Lonan sighed. He couldn't contact Sky through mind-link... and it was really frustrating him.

Where could she be?

Bigla na lamang kasing nawalang parang bula ang dalaga. Nang mag-angat ng tingin ang binata mula sa pagkakayuko na tanda ng pagbibigay galang sa prinsesa ng kahariang kasalukuyan nilang kinaroroonan, wala na ito sa kaniyang tabi.

Weird.

Hindi man lang naramdaman ng binata ang pag-alis nito...

How could I not sense it?

If she walked or ran away, I'm sure I won't be the only one who will be able to sense her, but too, Lunaless. Meanwhile, if she used teleportation and vanished on the spot, I still will be able to sense her.

But how come I wasn't able to?

"Am I getting weak?"

Iro's attention went to Lonan, who looked like he was losing his composure... which was so unusual.

...and weird.

...and scary.

"Bro?"

Lonan looked at Iro. He blinked several times.

Tumikhim siya. "What?"

Nag-iwas ng tingin si Iro at lihim na napangisi. "Nothing," He replied, turning back his gaze to Lonan. Tinaasan lang siya ng isang kilay ng huli, halatang hindi naniniwala sa kaniyang sinabi.

Lonan let out a sigh and shook his head. He must focus and not let his emotions rule over him. "I can't reach your cousin," He told Iro, who then had a worried look.

"Let's just look for her. She maybe distracted." Kibit-balikat na aniya.

But, in all honesty, he, too, was worried. Severely worried.

But also, upset.

Where could that brat have gone too? Argh. She always give me headache—scratch that—she gives everyone headaches... All. The. Time. Really such a brat. Punishments do nothing to her at all. In fact, she just gets worse.

His gaze landed on Iro. He shrugged his shoulders as he remembers something.

I guess it's in the blood? The Lunaless' are known to be all stubborn, the headmaster included... Speaking of which, where could the headmaster and Miss Cloudbrand be?

Napahinga siya nang malalim.

I just hope they're safe.

The brat included.

"Are you still the Law?" Ang kaniyang atensyon ay napunta kay Iro na noon ay iiling-iling at ngingisi-ngisi. "Hay. Bakit pa ba ako magtataka? Love changes people, they say." Kumibit-balikat ito, ngunit ang ngisi sa mga labi ay hindi nawala. Maya-maya, bumuntong-hininga ito sa ginhawa. "Now that we're talking about love, I miss my darling Violet! Ano kayang pinagkakaabalahan niya ngayon? Let me make a guess... She could be thinking of me!" Napahalakhak ito.

Napailing siya. "You're crazy."

"Nah, I'm just in love." Ang tugon lamang nito na nagpaangat ng isang kilay niya.
