"What?" Zayn exclaimed.
" This necklace was on Alyssa's neck when I saw her earlier today, now I saw this necklace on the floor and it had blood stains on it," she said.
Zayn took the necklace and furrowed his brows, "who could have taken Alyssa?" He thought.
"We should check her room for more evidence, " Kylie said as she ran to the inn.
Alyssa's belongings were intact, nothing was missing.
"It seems like she didn't make it back to her room," Kylie said.
"She was attacked on her way here and she lost her necklace in the brawl," Zayn said. "We should get back now," he added.
"Shouldn't we inform the police?" Kylie asked, confused.
"Your parents wouldn't like you getting involved in such cases, Kyle," he said. "Let me handle this one, I'd go to the station and file a complaint, " he added.
"You should inform your brother about this as well, " she said.
"Definitely "
Kylie didn't allow Zayn to drive her home, she got home, all tired. She was worried sick about Alyssa.
"I should call Zayn and ask for the latest development about the case," she said as she picked up her phone to call him. "No, I shouldn't. I can't keep throwing myself at him" she said throwing her phone to the table before laying on the bed tired.

Raymon was feeling uneasy as he paced around his room. Something felt off and he couldn't point his fingers on it. He sat on his bed, staring into the space until he saw the portrait of Alyssa move.
"Huh? What the… arrgh" Raymon groaned in pain as he tightly held his chest as he watched Alyssa's portrait shake violently.
"What? She's here?" Raymon said as he remembered his dream.
"The day you feel extreme pain in your chest and one of my belongings shakes violently, just know I'm here with you, " Alyssa said in his dreams.
After some minutes, the pain stopped and Raymon could breathe easily again. He looked at the portrait that was now standing still, and he reasoned at the event that just happened.
"This means Alyssa just got here, does it m...."
"Brother, there's trouble, " Zayn said as he barged into Raymon's chamber.
"You? Why are you here?" Raymon asked, shocked.
"Alyssa, She is missing," Zayn said hurriedly.
"Missing?" Raymon asked, extremely shocked.
"Alyssa was in the human world, she's friends with Kyle" Zayn replied.
"Kyle? You mean your human girl?" Raymon asked.
"Hum, Alyssa went missing today and all we found was this" Zayn said handing the necklace Kylie found over to Raymon.
"So she was in the human world and then she chose to come here?" Raymon thought.
"Come here? What do you mean by that?" Zayn asked. Raymon explained all that happened to Zayn.
"So you think she came here by herself?" Zayn asked.
"Yeah," Raymon replied.
"No, I think someone brought her here for a reason, she won't be able to find her way here all by herself" Zayn reasoned.
**Somewhere in Daichi kingdom
"Wake up, you sleepy head," Prime Minister David said, kicking Alyssa.
She opened her sleepy eyes and noticed the room was unfamiliar.
"Where am I ?" She asked, frightened. " Where did you bring me to?" She asked again.
"To him," Prime Minister David said, stretching his hands to Raymon's portrait.
"Him? Who is he?" She asked again.
"He is your friend," he answered. "A friend you have to find a secret about him"
"What are you even talking about? I don't know this guy, how is he then my friend?" She asked again.
"Just shut up!" Prime Minister David scolded her. "Just do as we say and then you can return to your normal life " he added as he closed the door.
Prime Minister David smiled wickedly, Raymon's walls were becoming smaller day by day and with Alyssa in the picture, they could finish him off easily.
Raymon kept feeling uneasy, his foot started moving involuntarily to the woods where he saw a cave that was emitting an eerie feeling. He walked into the cave but saw nothing special, there was no one there, just as he was about to leave, he heard a sound from the cave.
"Is someone here?" Raymon thought to himself as he trailed the repeated banging to a rock. He pushed it away and saw a door. He slowly walked in and he saw a figure whose hands were tied.
"Hello!" He said to the person tied up. Alyssa looked up and they both exclaimed in shock.
"You?" They said simultaneously.
"How come…?" Raymon stopped talking as he quickly ran to untie Alyssa. He was very happy to see her after all the years he had to wait. As soon as he untied her, Alyssa jumped at him, tearing his chest and shoulder with a sharp rock piece.
"Go to hell, you bastard!" She yelled. "You're the cause of my misfortune, why are you here? Huh, tell me?" Alyssa yelled.
"Alyssa…Alyssa, let me help you " Raymon said but Alyssa pushed him away aggressively as she ran out of the cave. Raymon ran after her and immediately they were rounded by armed guards, who shot an arrow at Alyssa.
"Alyssa!" Raymon said as he held her tightly.
"I'm fine, this is nothing, it's just a scratch," Alyssa said as he held her bleeding arm.
"Close your eyes Alyssa" He used his fingers to close her eyes and said, "Don't open it even if you hear horrifying screams, okay?". Alyssa could only nod, she felt confident with Raymon's words and soon she started hearing screams, she got tempted to open her eyes to take a look at the scene but she kept hearing Raymon's words in her head, so she didn't open her eyes, then suddenly she felt someone closely approach her, and when she was about to open her eyes she felt someone's hands close her eyes.
"I told you not to open your eyes," Raymon whispered to Alyssa's ear as he turned her around and said, "We might not get along right now, but trust me okay?". Raymon kept leading Alyssa till they were far away from the field where he killed all the guards.
