Nathan flew over the town and into the forest. As he looked below him, he could see a flash of purple underneath. He shook his head in dismissal and kept flying. In the distance he saw the stones, large and towering over the trees. He started to fly faster to try and reach the stones before it grew dark.
The area around the stones was strewn with flowers and small bushes. It was a peaceful place. It was far from the bustling village. Nathan landed in the middle of the stones and sighed. He sat down in the grass and ran his fingers through the grass. He could see the edge of the forest, dark and empty. He turned his head to look behind him. "Sophie, how did you get here?" He asked, startled that Sophie stood behind him.
"I, um, rode a deer..." She said sitting down.
"How did you ride a deer?"
"It just kinda let me climb on and knew exactly where to take me. I still am a little surprised," Sophie replied, smiling. Nathan stood up and looked down at Sophie.
"Why are you here? You shouldn't be anywhere near me. I don't want to hurt you," Nathan said, frowning, "Leave." He started to walk off. Sophie stood up and grabbed Nathan's wrist. She pulled him back and engulfed him in a hug.
"I will never leave you alone until you feel better," Sophie said. Nathan sighed and pushed Sophie away. He started to walk off again and stopped.
"Sophie, look," Nathan pointed at the sky as a dark, flying figure hovered over the village. In one moment the entire village ll engulfed in flames. Sophie gasped and started running back to the village. "Sophie!"
"What?!"
Nathan held out his arm, "Grab on!" Sophie looked at him and realized what he meant. She grabbed his arm and Nathan shot up into the sky. Nathan flew as fast as he could without dropping Sophie. The fire grew in front of them as it engulfed the village. There was no screams as the entire fire started spontaneously. Nathan landed at the edge of the village and started running into the fire. As he reached the inferno, it started to shrink. Nathan stopped and watched as the flames shrunk to just a small spark, then dissapeared. The village, in perfect state sat before them.
"What..." Sophie said walking to stand beside Nathan. "Mom!" Sophie started running to her home. Nathan looked on for a moment and satrted running to his house.
Sophie threw opened the door and ran inside. The remnants of the ruined party were left behind. sophie ran through the house and into every room calling her parents name. She searched through every room, but to no avail. Her parents were nowhere. They had dissapeared. She ran back out of the house and into the town square where people were collecting.
Nathan opened the door to his home and ran through the house. He searched and searched, but nothing. He ran out of his house and went to find Sophie.
As Sophie observed the people she saw Nathan running. She started running to catch up to him. Tears started to well in her eyes. "Nathan! They're gone!" Nathan ran up to her and hugged her.
"It'll be okay. My parents are missing too. We'll find them, okay?" Nathan said holding Sophie in his arms, "We'll find them."
