"Hello? Mister? What happened?" The person from the other line asked.
"L-Lucy?" Friela's eyes widened.
"S-she's gone?" Yui whispered.
"W-what happened to her? What's the meaning of this?" Canum asked, his hands are shaking. He accidentally dropped his phone on the ground while the line is still on-going.
They tried to dig the spot where Lucy disappeared, but there is nothing. There is no trace of Lucy, and all of them were shocked about what had just happened.
Vaness on the other hand didn't know what to say. The heat that they felt a while ago was gone after Lucy disappeared. The four of them didn't know what to do.
"D-did she die? Is she d-dead?" Friela asked while her hands are shaking.
"No! I don't believe she's dead." Yui shouted.
"Yes. She won't disappear and be dead just like that!" Canum said as well.
"W-what are we going to do?" Vaness finally asked. Her palms and her face was full of sweat because of fear and confusion.
All of them stood there with no idea. None of them knew what is the right thing to do. Silence kept them all intact. The breeze of the air became stronger as the dusk finally approached.
"W-why don't we go in a room or an indoor place, first?" Friela suggested.
"Yes. I think so, too. It's getting colder." Vaness agreed.
"How about Lucy? We're not gonna find her?" Yui asked.
"Let's try to search this hill first for a few minutes before going down, shall we?" Canum asked. All of them agreed.
"It's getting dark, ready your phone for a flashlight." Vaness said. They nodded.
After a few discussion, they decided to split into two groups. First group was Vaness and Friela while the second group was Canum and Yui.
"Me and Friela will go here at the left, you two go at the right. Is it clear?" Vaness instructed.
"All right." Canum and Yui answered in unison.
Their cries can be heard from a distant.
"Lucy!"
"Lucy!"
"Can you hear us?! Where are you?"
"Please answer us, Lucy!"
"Lucy!"
After 30 minutes of searching, the sun really went down, and no trace of Lucy was found. The four of them met at their picnic area.
"Any news?" Yui asked while panting.
"She's not here, how about on your side?" Friela replied. Canum shook his head.
"Lucy we have pizza. Can you hear us?!" Canum shouted for the last time. Only the sound of the crickets can be heard.
"She really disappeared just like that?" Yui asked them.
The air becomes more and more powerful. The city lights can now be seen from the top of the hill.
"This view is beautiful, but not now." Vaness whispered.
"Let's get our things and go somewhere else to discuss this matter." Canum decided to pack their things.
They got their own cars parked at the bottom of the hill.
"Let's discuss this at my house." Friela suggested.
"Okay. Let's go. We'll follow you." Vaness said.
--
They all drove their cars and went to Friela's house. It was a mansion full of cute decorations. There are statue of different cartoon characters. The center of the fountain had the statue of Hello Kitty.
"Seriously, Friela? I didn't knew you were into this kind of stuff." Canum said while roaming his eyes around her garden.
"Shut up, this was all my mom and dad's idea. Not mine." She replied.
"Oh. They must love them, then." He laughed.
"Why are you laughing? It's cute." Yui defied him.
"Nothing. I just didn't realize it on Friela's bones." Canum said.
"I said iā" Friela was about to repeat what she had just said, but Canum interrupted her.
"Yes, yes. I understand." He still laugh a little.
They went inside an empty room with a big bed and lie in there.
Vaness sighed, "Just what the hell happened today?" she asked as she put her arms on her forehead.
"I don't know." Yui sighed as well.
"What do you guys want? Coffee or Tea?" Friela asked.
"Coffee." Canum replied.
"Tea" Yui and Vaness replied.
Friela called their maid and asked her to bring them coffee and tea.
"Some biscuits as well Friela, please?" Canum requested.
Friela sighed, "You hear him." The maid nodded, and Friela thanked her.
Silence linger at the room. No one wants to speak. All of them are tired from searching when Yui broke the silence.
"What now? What am I gonna do?" she asked.
"Do about what?" Canum answered her with a question.
Their orders came while Yui was talking, "Tomorrow is Lucy's taping." She replied and Friela handed her a small cup of tea.
"Can't you just postpone it?" Vaness asked.
"No, I can't. They will be mad for sure. But I guess I have no choice but to do something about it." Yui looked distressed.
"Why don't you say that Lucy was sick?" Friela suggested.
"Stupid. Even if she say that, they will try to find her or reschedule the taping. Lucy disappeared and we do not know where the hell she is or if she's still alive." Vaness answered her.
"Oh, I'm so sorry about that." Friela frowned.
The silence came back. Only the chewing of biscuits can be heard. Yui's phone suddenly rang.
"Excuse me, guys."
--
"Hello?" Yui asked.
"Yui, where are you?" The person from the other line asked. She didn't turn on the loudspeaker, but they can hear it because of the silence.
"I'm at a friend's house, why?" Yui replied.
"What are you doing? Haven't you seen the live video yet?"
"Live what?" Yui was confused.
"It's Lucy. They found her lying in the middle of the road just now!"
"What?!" Yui asked.
"Yes, at first they thought she was dead, but it looks like she was sleeping. No one dared to touch her, and they went live on facebook. I think their purpose is for you or her friends to see."
All of their eyes met.
"Can you tell me where that is?"
"Let me check the live." She became silent for a second, all of them are silent but Canum decided to get his phone and checked it as well.
"Feidr Street. Near the post office beside the fast food chain."
"This. This." Canum searched for the live, and they saw where she is. Lucy.
"Let's go now." Vaness stood up from the bed.
"Okay, thank you. We got to go!" Yui said to the other line and suddenly hung up.
They were in the third floor, so they ran as fast as they could to go to the carpark.
"Let's just use two car." Friela suggested.
"Yui, hop on my car." Canum said.
Yui got on Canum's car, while Vaness hopped on Friela's.
"It's a 10 minutes ride." Canum said. Friela called Canum so they could get in-touch with each other.
"You guys open the live to see what's going on." Canum suggested.
"All right." Vaness said.
"Let's go?" Yui asked.
"Let's go." Canum and Friela replied.
