Chapter one.
Devi woke up earlier, as the sun has already raised and was shining through the window of her room.
"It's my birthday!", - she whispered, to Kobu, her dog, but then remembered: nobody, not even her parents or brother remember about it. Everyone was too busy.
Her father was travelling through the books, writing review on each of them. Devi couldn't blame him; he didn't even know what time is he in now. He was stuck in Sherlock Holmes for a month and only returned few days ago. Probably he thought it's somewhere around Christmas.
Mother was currently outside of the country, nobody knew when will she return, or will she.
Valentin, Devi's younger brother never remembered anything about Devi. Since the day they moved into the new house, the siblings had separated rooms and did not interact so much.
Well, there was always Gaston, her best friend. But no, he never remembered anything. Even his best friend's birthday.
However, Devi's day seemed to start better than she expected. It was only 27th of march, but the weather reminded more of June. Devi loved this weather. Nothing can be better than some roller-skating in the morning, she thought, took her skates and went outside.
That was Devi's hobby. When roller-skating, she could feel the wind in her face, without caring. She could jump, roll and go so much faster! It was a passion; she didn't know what would she do if Gaston never taught her to skate properly.
So far away from her house, Devi decided to turn around and skate back home. Luckily no problems there: London wasn't a dangerous place for teenagers, ever.
By eleven o'clock in the morning, Devi was back home. Of course, her father hasn't even noticed her absence, however Valentin did. By few next seconds she understood that something happened.
"They found mom!", - said Valentin. Devi was so happy, she couldn't even say a word, so sister simply ran towards to Valentin and gave him a huge hug.
"Where?", - asked Devi, really preferring to hear "In UK", or "In Ireland", not "In Australia".
"She is…. well… I don't know how to say that not to scare you…", -Valentin mumbled.
"Valentin?!"
"She is in London",-Devi smiled at this words,-"But… Underground…"
"What? Are you saying she is dead?" , -Devi was half crying now. They haven't heard anything about mom for almost a year.
"No, she is alive, just underground",-Valentin seemed scared,-"She was taken to the base. Should be back by 12:00. Something happened there, she has news. I guess they chose the new "Traveller". As far as we know, it's somebody from our family…".
"Kobu maybe?",-asked Devi. Kobu heard his name and came over. The dog sat near Devi's legs.
"Devi, It's true. They made new choice."-siblings heard their fathers voice,-"Happy birthday, my dear."
