The small alley was dark and dirty but Violet doesn't have any option but to run through it. She took a bag that was inside their old house, put it safely inside her jacket and now she's being chased by a group of men who were trying to go after what she is carrying. Violet ran as fast as she can and she can almost see the bustling road at the end of the alley. One of the men chasing her almost grabbed her jacket but Violet was faster. Reaching the busy road, she ran through the cars coming and faded into the busy road.

Since her mother was missing, Violet's smile was gone. She became a silent person and always on the edge. She rarely goes out and her wardrobe seemed to change from the flowery and bright colors to black and from dresses to black hoodies and pants.

Violet was said to be outgoing and a happy friendly person but now, she never spoke much and had cut off friends from her circle. The house was always dark and curtains were down and every night not a single light can be seen through the windows. 

Violet mostly kept inside her room, writing nonstop as to what happened. She tried to recall the events that took place and what she missed. She couldn't speak to her friends as they too wouldn't be able to help. However, from time to time she was chatting with someone online, a person who she asks for help or gather advices but the identity of this person is also unknown to Violet herself.

/*Going back to the past*/
Violet was an orphan raised by her adoptive mom. She knew her mom was married but Violet rarely sees the man. They weren't well off but Violet's mom always made sure that she gave Violet the best life she could possibly give. 

One day, Violet woke up with her mom missing. She tries to recollect the events that happened in the past and the crumbs that were left unnoticed. 

What happened? Who took her mother?
Who were the people that were chasing her?

So many questions that aren't answered. One by one will be unraveled while searching the mist.
