"Darius, where have you been? We've been worried sick about you. Be grateful that Ruby heard you and was able to find you when she did."
"Mom, Dad, Apple, we need to get out of here. Pack your things and wake. Braemos found me outside and let's just say when he gets here he won't be too happy to find us."
"Why? What did you find out?"
"I didn't find anything. It found me."
"Kodkod, are you ok? Your tail is singed."
"Just be thankful it was only her tail and nothing else."
"Where will we go, Darius?"
"Here, Ruby. These pearls are yours."
"These are my grandmothers. Where did you find them?"
"Come with me and I'll show you, but we have to move now."
*Knock, knock, knock*
"Before he gets here."
"Why….won't….this door….open?
*Knock, knock, knock.*
"HELLO?"
"You locked the door? Good thinking, but….."
*Knock, knock…Boom*
"You left the backdoor open."
"Shoot. Forgot houses had those."
"Ruby."
"I can't teleport you if I don't know where I am going."
"But I can't teleport at all."
"Guys, think of something. Here he comes."
*Knock, knock, knock.*
"I know you're in there......Ruby!!!!!!!"
"What do we do, what do we do?"
"I know. Everybody, hold on."
"One...…two....*Boom*
"THREE!!!!
Uhh…..where'd you go?
Maybe out the window? Nope.
"In the closet? Nope.
"In the master bedroom? Nope.
"Maybe this is the wrong one. Could've sworn though that this was her room.
Keep it together, Braemos. They couldn't have gotten far. We'll catch them in the Eve."
