The loud explosion caught everyone's attention. Dexter froze as Josh and the others approached him. Their faces filled with questions and worry. "What the hell was that noise?" He asked as he turned to see Shayne and Ace carrying Mr king. He was too weak and badly hurt to walk on his own. " I have to go….I need to find her." Josh said to the others as he got into the car and was about to drive off but was stopped by Dexter and Chase. " there's no way we are letting you go alone, besides we all have to go and find liz, there's noway of knowing what to expect...so I say we all go together.
So they all decided to leave together to find liz. On their way down they noticed water covering the road and Mr Cruz and Donald were both struggling against the water to get to the land their car was seen floating away as the water began to move at a faster rate gushing about. Josh, Chase, Ace,Lance and Shayne all rushed over to capture both of the men before they could escape. When they finally did, the bound and gaged them and took them to their cars putting both men into the trunk of different cars. They then started to search for liz, but to no avail, she could not be found. Angry and upset Josh walked over to Ace's car and opened the trunk pulling of the cloth from Mr Cruz's mouth. The man coughed and he looked up squinting his eyes. "Where is she?" Josh asked angrily as Mr Cruz let out a laugh. "Well she is not with us...im sure of that...she is gone...gone to be with her parents...haha." He said laughing. Josh clenched his fist and punched him. " I'm not playing games, tell me what happened to her, where is she?" Josh demanded. Mr Cruz laughed again and spoke. "I told you she is gone...we saw here car hit the other side of the damp...she was blown to bits and so was her car. I'm telling you the truth." The man said as Josh began to step backwards. At that moment he felt his heart stop beating."no...this isn't happening...she can't be dead...she can't be." He cried falling to his knees as Ace knealt beside him with his hand on his shoulder. "Dont listen to a word he said, my sister is alive...I know it...she is a fighter,she can get through anything...come on let's try searching around where the explosion happen, maybe she is there."
They searched for hours but could not find liz anywhere. Everyone just sat in silence and cried and sobbed. They couldn't believe she was gone. It was too much for them to handle. Not sure with they should do they all left and headed to hospital. Shayne and Chase joined Josh and Ace as they went to the police station to hand over Mr Cruz and Donald. After filling out much paper work they all headed back to the hospital where they met the doctors and got treated. Mr king was close to dying the doctors warned the others not to put any stress on him or he could slip into a coma the next time he falls unconscious. Meanwhile Dexter was in a critical state so they kept him in the hospital. The others went home with Josh and Ace.
On the way back to kings Mansion the ride was a quiet one. Everyone sat in silence except for Courtney who couldn't stop crying. "I'm sorry you guys, I miss her....I miss her so much." She said bursting into tears the others tried to comfort her, eventually succeeding. She fell asleep on Natalie's lap. "I don't think she should be alone... so I will stay with her tonight." Natalie said wiping the stained tears from Courtney's cheek. Josh Said nothing he just kept his eyes on the road as they crossed the big bridge, then they passed the cherry blossoms. "I love the cherry blossoms🌸." He heard liz say in his head. As tears flowed from his eye he took on hand of the wheel and placed it on his chest. The pain he felt was so heartbreaking 💔the others started to cry when they saw him wiping his eyes 😢
He soon pulled into the driveway and everyone got out of the car. He said nothing to anyone but rushed pass them and headed to his room shutting the door."I won't give up searching for you liz...I know, I feel it, your alive...whatever I have to do and however long it takes...I promise I will find you my love."❤
Meanwhile not far away from Mr Cruz's mansion, across a ravine filled with water,on the otherside on the bank lay liz's bruised helpless unconscious body. A short distance away was a huge stable and there was a mansion on the otherside of it. At that same time a young newly wed couple was out for a moonlight stroll when they found liz lying face down on the ground. They quickly rushed to her aid."is she okay?" The woman asked kneeling beside her husband as he checked for liz's pulse. He places his hand on her neck then her forehead. "She's alive but she has a fever, we need to get her inside quickly." He said as he lifted liz of the ground and carried her to the mansion with the woman following behind. She quickly walks past him and reaches for the front door opening it. When they were both in side she shuts the door and heads to another room opening the door. The man walks in and quickly places liz on the bed. Turning to his wife he wipes his face with a handkerchief. "Get me the first aid box and some towels...hurry back I will need your help." The woman nods and leaves the room. She quickly comes back with the towels and the first aid box and gives them to her husband. Let me help get her out of these clothes. The woman then takes of liz's clothes and puts on a robe for her she then wets a rag and wrings it halfway dry and sits at the bedside then places the rag on liz's forehead. The man also sits at the other side of the bed and gives liz an injection. Together he and his wife clean her wounds and dress them with medicines ointments and bandages. "She will regain consciousness by morning...come on dear we should let her rest." He told his wife and they both leave the room shutting the door behind them.
Back at kings Mansion it was indeed a long horrific night. No one slept they all stayed up mourning the loss of liz. Josh laid on his bed looking at pictures of her over and over until he began to miss her so much he ached for her to be in his arms. The girls all sat in silence as tears streamed down their faces and the other guys left them alone and kept awake outside of the mansion. Everyone was a wreck. No one seemed to care about eating or resting. What was the point. They all struggled with themselves to be strong for eachother. But it was all in vain because everytime they saw eachother everyone would remain silent an not say a word. This was going to be a really tough time for all of them.
Morning came quickly.the sun rose over the mountain tops and shun in all its glory as its beams touched the trees and streams,hills and valleys. It was indeed a beautiful sight to behold.
Back at the mansion where liz was brought to there was alot of commotion. The maids all wanted to see who this mysterious girl was and why did their master and his wife save her. It didn't take very long for word to spread. everyone in the mansion was curious. The master and his wife soon put a stop to all the questions by sending everyone out for the day. He too was about to leave the room when he heard a soft voice behind him.
"Where-where am I?" The man turned around in surprise to see liz wide awake sitting up on the bed staring at him. With a smile on his face he closes the door and walks over to the bed and was about to put his hand on her forehead. She swats it away and tries to get out of the bed only to realize she's wearing nothing but a robe. "What am I wearing?" She asks herself looking at the robe. The man chuckles at her reaction. 'Your clothes were wet so we put dis on for you." He said. "I'm sorry...we?" Liz questioned tilting her head to the side. "What are you talking about...who are you?" She asks puzzled looking around at the room she was in. "Where am I?" She asked again. The man was about to answer wen the door opened and a woman walked in carrying a tray which she placed on a table. She then walks over to the bed and stands next to her husband. "Good morning, are you feeling any better?" She asked with a smile. Liz was confused. She have never seen these people before. "Who are you people?" She asks. The man walks over to the table and opens the first aid box again and the woman goes to the other table and pours some tea into a cup and walks over to liz. "Drink this it will help you to relax...we will answer your questions when you calm down." She said handing liz the cup of tea. She takes it and sips it then looks at the woman. "Thank you,your very kind." Liz says with a smile.
The man walks over with a needle and looks at liz who is terrified. "Dont be afraid this injection will help you feel better." The man said as he takes her hand and sticks the needle pressing down and then pulls the needle out. He looks at liz as she puts her cup on the nightstand and rubs the spot. "My name is Dr Ryan Evans and this is my wife Gina....we found you lastnight on the bank behind our stable...you were unconscious and bruised up pretty badly." He said looking down at liz who was confused. "Do you remember anything that happened to you yesterday?" His wife asked as she sits at the edge of the bed. Liz closes her eyes and tries to recall yesterday's events but nothing came to mind. She opens her eyes and stars at them blankly. "I-i don't remember she said placing a hand on the side of her head where she felt a huge bump. "Ow...that hurts." She cried. The man looks at her and chuckles. "It's just a bump...when we found you that bump was there....can you tell us ur name?" He asked walking to his wife's side. Liz looks at the bed then closes her eyes again trying to Remember. "I don't know...I can't remember...why can't I remember who I am?" She asked herself as tears flowed from her eyes. "It okay...dont rush to remember...you will...but for now don't push yourself okay...what you have is a case of amnesia. I will help you try to get your memories back, then we will know what really happend to you." He said picking up her cup and handing it to her. "So you don't remember anything at all." The woman asked. Liz drinks the tea then looks at them with a smile. "No I don't im sorry...I don't know who I am or what happened to me...but for now you guys can call me Sara....I don't know if that's my name or not but I like that name." Liz says with a smile looking at the couple infront if her.
"Very well then thats what we will call you." The man said smiling back at her and his wife as she takes liz's hand in hers. "We will help you get better,don't you worry...everything will be alright...okay miss Sara Evans." Gina said with a warm smile. "Sara Evans...that sounds really nice...thank you both for all you've done for me." Liz said wiping a tear from her eye. "Now, now there us no need to thank us...your apart if our family now." Ryan said. They all sat and talked for a while then had breakfast. Liz sat quietly and enjoyed their company although she didn't know who she was or where she came from. She was happy with these people.they made her feel safe. And she felt she could trust them with her life.
