Chapter 1 - Missing Childern

It was a dark night nothing could be seen, there were no stars in the sky. There was just silence on the road but the silence was broken by a screaming of a little boy.

"help.... help.... someone please help!"

As he turned while running a white light swallowed him.

Before anyone could hear the voice the boy disappear in thin air. The next day, as usual everyone got up and started going to their work.

Like any other early morning, Misty got ready for her school.

(She was a very simple girl who was in high school and soon was going to get graduated. Misty was an introvert girl in whose life there was nothing other than homework, projects and studies, she didn't have friends. But in contrast her sister May was totaly different form her who was an extrovert and had plenty of friends and loves going outside, she loves exploring the world and liked capturing beautiful things in her camera.)

Misty left for school with her sister as she reached her school, she noticed that everyone in her class were behaving strangely.

She asked her fellow classmate Ryan, "What happened, why there are very few students present in the class today?"

Ryan, "Don't you know that plenty of children went missing from their home and no one knows that where these children are. So, parents are scared now, so they are not letting their kids to go outside."

Misty, "Wait, what!? When children are disappearing from their own house then what's the point of caging them in the house?

Ryan, "God knows, who is behind all this."

Before Misty could ask anything else the class got started and Ryan got back to his set.

For the whole day Misty kept on thinking about the missing children, after the departure Misty and her sister were walking on the road and suddenly Misty saw something strange in the sky before she could tell May that thing disappear.

But all of sudden, the bright and sunny weather got changed into thunder and stormy weather.

Misty, "It look like it is going to rain I think we should go home fast otherwise we might get wet".

May, "Yeah, I think we should better run."

After reaching home their mother asked them to wash their hands and get to the table for launch. Misty and May changed their clothes and after washing their hands they got to the table, they were about to sit but suddenly they heard a sound of a crying lady.

When they saw the outside the house they saw that a woman was crying and asking people to find her daughter.

After hearing this Misty was got very scared.

"Mom, what's going on? Today even in class there were plenty of students who were absent, and now all this."

May angrily, "You don't know but because of all this all these incidents, some of my friends are locked by their parents."

Misty's mother got angry and said, "Don't worry about others, worry about yourself and right now go to the table come and eat the lunch."

May, "Why are you getting angry? We didn't say anything wrong."

Misty felt like her mother don't want to talk on this topic, so she stopped May from saying anything further and send her to her room.

After sending May to her room, Misty asked her mother very calmly, "What's the matter mother, why are you getting angry? Is there anything disturbing you?"

For a moment there was only silence in the house and then her mother told her that one of her friend daughter also got missing, and from then she is scared if one day Misty and May will disappear than what is she going to do, so she wants Misty and May to stay at home.

Misty wanted to go against her mother and wants to continue to go to school but judging from the situation she remained silent and send her mother in her room.

After coming to May room, she saw that May was really angry.

"What's the matter, now why you are angry?" Misty asked.

May become angrier, "Wow! I mean, without any reason I got scolded by mother and now you are asking me what's the matter?

Misty, "I know you are angry but do you know why you got scolded. Did you see how tense mama was, no you didn't."

May started sobbing, "Yeah, I...I... do...don't know anything I...I... am just a self-centred person who don't care about anyone…"

After seeing May crying Misty stopped scolding her, "Ah... now stop crying and this is not the first time that you have been scolded by mother. What's the matter with you, did something happen?

May started wiping her tears, "You don't know but my best friend Iara was not coming school when I went to her home, then I came to know that she too has disappeared."

After hearing such a thing, Misty was stunned and she left May alone.
