Chapter 2 - Ruri

Zhuang had just started preschool, when Alashbah ran away from home at the age of seventeen.

Me, and Zhuang were walking home, when we saw a police car outside our house. I picked Zhuang up and ran into the living room, only to find our mother crying into an officer's shoulder.

'Mum, what happened?' I hugged Zhuang into my chest tightly, I didn't want him to see our mother in this state.

my mother lifted her head from the man's shoulder and gave me her twisted smile. 'Nothing sweety go up stairs, and I'll tell you later.'

Alashbah's Francesca is what we call "ghost" he can become invisable, read people's thoughts, and "posses" people by entering their body, his Francesca is the strongest. He can create mental group chats of people, he has one for Zhuang, himself and I.

...An hour later the police car reversed off the driveway, and our mother came into my room.

Zhuang was asleep on my bed, whilst I sat at my desk doing my homework from the week before.

'Mother, what's going on?'

'Come here first!' I walked out into the hallway, closing the door behind me. 'Your brothers run away from home.'

'What do you mean?'

'I mean he's not coming back!' she stormed off, I didn't see her until the next day, after I had spoken with Al'. He has offered Hua, Zhuang and myself a place to stay, but I refuse to leave until I have finished my project.

...I have now witness the work of our project, it has taken two years since I last updated, to complete my serum. I am now on my way to Hua's house, we are going to go find my brother.

Zhuang is six years old, I am worried for his future, but Alashbah has promised to come back for him, once he is older.
