Episode 5 Part 3
The sorrow still clung heavily to Kalina's heart as she walked. The sight of her brother and mother figure fighting tore at her, left her feeling dismayed. But she couldn't just leave it.
'Why can't they just get along, it's not fair?' She wondered sadly. 'I need to try and fix things, I need them to see.'
So it was she approached Katia, biting her lip.
"Katia?"
The woman turned and smiled, kneeling down to her level. "Hi Kalina, are you alright? I'm sorry you had to see that."
"Please don't hate Grozdan, he doesn't mean it." She burst out.
Katia smiled softly, gently putting a hand on Kalina's shoulder. "I could never hate Grozdan, Kalina and I know he doesn't. It's just...it's hard for him right now, and he's struggling to adjust. He's not really angry, he's sad, upset and lashing out. But don't worry; we'll find a way to help him through this."
Kalina nodded. "I just want us all to be happy together, ever since...ever since mommy and daddy..."
"I know, sweetie, I know. We'll find a way." She explained.
She then hugged Kalina who felt some measure of hope returning. A short while later, she approached Grozdan, who looked up, the angry look on his face melting away when he saw it was his sister.
"Kalina..."
She bit her lip. "Please Grozdan, can you stop fighting with Katia?"
He flinched at that. "Kalina, I...it's just..."
"I know you don't hate her, you're sad." Kalina reasoned. "But she just wants to help us."
"Mom and dad are gone and no one can replace them, Kalina." Grozdan remarked softly. "But Katia is-"
"Katia just wants to help us, to keep us safe." She continued.
Grozdan sighed but said nothing else, he wasn't sure how to explain to his sister after all.
Meanwhile, the others were gathered around the map again, all of them desperate, hope fading fast.
"We can't give up yet, there has to be somewhere." Niko was saying. "Let's look over this again, carefully, think...where have we not looked yet, not searched thoroughly."
The others all looked carefully, trying to think, examining the map and the points Niko had marked as having been searched, comparing it to an identical map that hadn't been marked, so as to help with their bearings.
Mara was the most frantic. "Please, there must be something, somewhere..."
"When we are gonna accept it." Eli cut in. "We're not gonna find him, and even if we do, it's already too late. Just-"
"We are not giving up." Mara insisted. "How can you say that, Misha is out there, kidnapped and..."
Eli glared. 'Kidnapped my ass, little brat is dead, he was never kidnapped, the Walkers got them. When are they just gonna accept the truth.'
"Wait, the boy you're looking for is kidnapped?"
They turned to see Sergei standing there, staring wide-eyed. They nodded and Sergei bit his lip.
"How...how old is he?"
"He's ten, why?" Mara asked.
Sergei trembled and suddenly looked even more anxious, haunted even.
"You should...you should try looking for Florian." He said shakily. "He lives in a shack out in the woods not too far from here."
They all shared a look at that, wondering just who this Florian was, and why Sergei seemed so freaked out.
Seeing their faces Sergei shuddered again and then explained.
"He's one of those men, you used hear about them on the news, creeps who would go after children." He began.
Mara felt as if her heart had dropped into her stomach. 'Oh God no, Misha...in the hands of a paedophile?'
"He...he tried to get me once, drag me to his home. I got away however and just ran...until I got here." Sergei explained. "That's...that's it there, I'm sure of it. I learned where it was so I'd know to stay well away. I thought the boy you were looking for was just missing, that's why I didn't say anything at first."
He pointed to a location on the map before looking up at them, biting his lip, worried.
Sensing the impending judgement he was about to get, Eli spoke up. "Funny, I searched that area, saw that shack, looked in but there was nothing there."
"Which means there has to be a basement." Niko reasoned. "Alright, thank you Sergei. Everybody else do what you can to help here. Mara, Roman and I are going there."
The others all nodded, except Eli who glared but knew it would be useless to protest. So as they all got ready to settle in on the farm, Niko, Mara and Roman got ready and headed for their car, driving off towards the location given, praying they would find Misha at last.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
