Borra sadly reached his bedroom and closed the door behind him. He couldn't believe what he heard from his friends. This is the reason why he couldn't tell anyone his true identity. He will be abandon or fear by small animals around him, like Basil and Dawson. And since they already know who he is, there's no reason to keep it from them anymore.

He was so afraid to face them if they want to talk to him about it. There will be anger and betrayal on their faces if he talks to them and explains everything. Probably they'll state 'We don't need you anymore' or they'll kick him out of his lies and identity as a human with wings. He couldn't do it. He has to get away from them as soon as possible.

After everything Borra did for them by protecting them, they just want to kick him away, as he thought. He sadness turned to anger in betrayal, "If they don't want me anymore, then I'll leave." He said in his thoughts. He took out his bag from his closet and started packing.

Borra grabbed all of his clothes and put them on the bag. He gathered some papers and other things, like pens and magnifying glass. He wore his jacket to keep his wings from revealing in public. Before finish packing, he noticed the deerstalker cap that Basil gave to him as a Christmas gift. Borra started to cry when he looked at the hat. This hat reminded him the good times he had with Basil and Dawson, but it also reminded of what Basil said about him when he discovered his secret. Borra was completely hurt that when his friends discovered his secret, Basil called him 'a monster', 'a liar', and 'a traitor'. Borra wanted to get away from this hurt and pain.

Before leaving, Borra shrank the book of spells to fit in his bag, and, the worst thing he ever did, he threw the small picture of him, Basil and Dawson together on the garbage can. He opened the window, climbed on it, and jumped down on the streets, quickly ran away before anyone notice him

It's been over three hours they waited for Borra to come out from his room. Basil grew impatient of waiting. He still stick with the plan of talking to Borra about his true identity.

"How Borra took it so long?" Basil asked, "It's been hours!"

"Maybe he still arranging something in his room," Dawson said. "You know that kid likes organaizing."

"It's true, but it's been hours. I better go check on him, see if he's okay."

"Be gentle with him, Basil." The doctor warned.

Basil walked up the stairs to check on Borra. He saw the door was close, so he knocked on it.

"Young Borra, are you okay in there? You've been in there for three hours." There's no signs of answer when Basil knocked on the door. "Borra, is everything alright in there?" Still no answer. When Basil turned the knob, he noticed the door was unlocked. He opened the door and noticed the room is empty, except there was a bed, an empty closet and a desk, but no signs of Borra.

"Borra? Borra! Hermogenes, are you here?!" Basil called, searching around the room for Borra. He then discovered the closet is empty and no small things were left in the room. He also noticed a small photo of him, Dawson and Borra was in a garbage can. He took it out, and realized Borra is gone.

Dawson and Mrs. Judson heard Basil's voice from upstairs and they rushed to see what's happening.

"Mr. Basil, what is going on here?" Mrs. Judson asked.

"This is serious, Borra's gone!" Basil said.

"Gone? What do you mean' gone'?" Dawson questioned.

"He's not here. He's things and clothes are gone. The closet and his desk is empty." Basil replied.

"Why could he be gone this Christmas day?" Mrs. Judson believe it. She knew Borra was not that kind of person that leaving them for Christmas.

"The question is: Where is he and how did he got out without seeing him gone?" Basil said.

Then Dawson noticed an open window, "He probably snuck out of the window."

"You two stay here and find Borra. He should be here. I'll look for Borra outside. I'll bring Toby with me." Basil said.

"Where are you going, Basil?" Dawson asked.

"Borra might still be in London. He won't be far. I'll be back soon." Basil rushed downstairs, wore his brown jacket and his hat, and ran out from the door.

Basil rode on Toby's back to look for Borra all over London. He kept looking and looking, but he didn't find him. He searched high and low and near and far, but no signs of Borra. He kept looking for him all day, despite everyone celebrating Christmas happily.

That night, Basil and Toby returned home with snow on their heads. When the dog lowered his head to help the detective mouse to hop off of him, Basil shivered as he entered the room. He discovered Dawson and Mrs. Judson weren't the only mice in the room, Olivia and Hiram were there two, waiting for Basil if he found Borra.

"So, have you found Borra?" Dawson asked.

Basil hung his head down sadly and shook his head, "No. I haven't found him. What about you?"

"No, he's not here. That's why we called Olivia and Mr. Flaversham for help, but they haven't Borra either." Mrs. Judson explained.

"Oh, where could that boy be?" Hiram was also worried.

Basil looked at the photo of the three them together and very happy together. How can they be happy now that one of them is missing? Borra's sudden disappearance happened after Basil and Dawson discovered Borra's true identity. Could that be the reason Borra's gone? Basil realized Borra heard what he said after he discovered his secret. He probably heard him saying horrible things about him. Basil felt so guilty. He realized it was all his fault Borra ran away.

"This is all my fault." Borra said softly. Only Dawson heard him. "I shouldn't say those things about him." He then stared at the photo, "Hermogenes, where are you?"

Somewhere, Borra was way too far from Baker Street, so it's his chance to escape this world. He read a spell from his the spell book, and used his wandstaff to open a green portal that lead to another world. Before stepping through the portal, he looked back at this world. He knew there's nothing for him to do in this world anymore as he swore not to return in the world again. Borra stepped through the portal and entered another world as the portal closed.

I know the ending was so sad, but it's just the middle of adventure of Hermogenes Borra. Sorry to spoil this, but Borra came to the world of Sherlock Holmes (from the show, 'Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd century' but it took place in 19th century). See you next time. Bye :)
