Chapter one: The brothers find out their sister's gone.

Near's P.O.V.

I am inside the house cooking dinner for all of us. I know it'll be ready when Rai gets home and that's what I always do on school days. I stir in the meat over our stove.

While this town does have technology it doesn't have cell phones or cordless phones but it does have phones with cords and to hang up you have to put it on the receiver so it pushes down a button.

Silver is in the living room most likely reading or taking a nap. He hunts for meat out in the woods, we sell the meat for money and we also use the meat for ourselves.

Selling meat is right now the only way to make money for us and the kill of animals that aren't rare plus the selling of the meat/bodies of said animals is legal in this town.

Our mother is in the medical center that's the second biggest building in town.

The doctors and nurses there are trained with the use of a ton of electronics but they are very skill full. They are like the doctors with all that technology I hear about once in a while from people passing by or the every now and then person that comes from outside into our village.

Theres a knock on the door and I am about to put the spoon down to go get but Silver's voice stops me.

"I got it!" He calls and I hear him getting up and going to answer the door.

I concentrate on finishing the meat and veggies stew so it'll be ready when Rai gets home and still warm if shes a little late.

"N-Nate!" My brothers upset voice gets my attention.

I put the spoon I was stirring with down and I go over to the front door.

Standing there is Miss Mayhama she is holding Rais backpack. "I found this laying on the ground in some grass beside a side walk. Rai wasn't anywhere to be seen." She explains. "I looked for a little bit but I couldn't find her so I cam straight here. To tell you guys first. I'll get everyone to tell everyone and we will look everywhere for her." She tells us. But her voice sounds kind of distant to me.

"Rai…." I say softly in fear of what could have happened to her.

Silver growls snapping me back to reality and he rushes past Miss Mayhama calling back over his shoulder. "I'm going to go look!"

I take Rai's backpack from Miss Mayhama being gentle when I take it from her. "Thank you. I'm going to go notify the sheriff." I say hugging her backpack close to my chest as I rush off down the street to where the sheriffs office is. I hear Miss Mayhama yelling to me as I go that she'll get the town search started. I try to hold in my tears of fear for Rai's safety as I run into the sheriff's office slamming open the door and still holding the backpack closely to my chest. "Sheriff!" I say scared, a little panicked and a little shaky. "You have to help its an emergency!"

The sheriff was having a nice conversation with one of Maxine, who is a black haired woman that is a part of this town as a villager, but when I come in they both stop talking and look to me. He often gets village visitors since normally he doesn't usually need to do anything to protect the law but is there just in case. Hearing the condition of my voice and seeing my scared and slightly panicked look he jumps from his chair ready to help. "Whats wrong? What happened!" He demands. His short strawberry blonde hair is a little spikey that stands up looking like all his hair is on the top of his head, his sapphire blue eyes change from calm to worried and his sheriff uniform is clean of any stains but is a little baggy on him. His silver star that's pinned onto his jacket where his right nipple would be shows that he is the law protector or also known as the sheriff. He's taller than me but the height of an average woman just don't underestimate him due to height cause he's really strong. He was found as a child outside the city and he didn't remember his name but he wanted to grow up into a sheriff so the sheriff of that time took him in and called him Sheriff.

Maxine takes a step forward, since she was already standing, and stares at me worriedly the backpack catching her dark pink eyes. Maxine is almost the same height as the sheriff but a centimetre shorter. She has long black hair that reaches just past her shoulders. She's wearing a blue strapless dress that reaches to just past her knees and she has on wooden colored sandal's with pink ribbon tied around her ankles the bows facing outward. She also has a red ribbon in her hair making her hair be tied back into a ponytail with a big bow on the top part of the ribbon.

I look pleadingly at him. "It's Rai. Miss Mayhama found her backpack laying on the ground but Rai wasn't anywhere to be seen. Please! You have to help find her!"

"We will find her and if someone kidnapped her or hurt her they are going to wish they'd never even set foot here." Sheriff says patting me on the shoulder before racing out past me out of the building.

Maxine comes over and hugs me for a second. "She'll be okay." She says. "I have some friends that can come over from out of town. They are lie the sheriff over there but they are a much bigger team because of the bigger city. I'll give them a call and ask them to come help us because I have a feeling we need all the help we can get." She gives me an attempt of a comforting smile. "Now go and start looking with the others."

I nod. "Thank you." I then put my arms through the straps of the back pack and I race out of the building to go help look for Rai. "Please be okay and safe." I say under my breath.
