Ray thought for a second. He looked at Sierra and saw the determination in her eyes. He smiled and nodded. "We leave tomorrow." Sierra squealed and hugged Ray. "We can make it! I promise," Sierra said, excited. Ray nodded again. "It will be well worth the journey. I will finally reunite with my father." Sierra could tell Ray was looking forward to the long journey to House Sotharan.
She stayed for a few more minutes where Ray and she discussed what happened earlier that day. She said her goodbyes and walked out the door. "Sierra! Wait!" Ray ran outside after her. "Use all tomorrow to pack. We will leave at midnight." Sierra nodded. "My father will be asleep by then." "Good, he will be our only problem. Make sure he doesn't follow you this time."
"Will do." Ray turned and ran into his house. Sierra smiled. "What would I do without you, Ray" She whispered to the dark house. She walked silently back to her house. "Dad?" No answer. He probably when to the inn. He has some friends there, Sierra thought to herself. She walked into her room and sat down on her bed. "Tomorrow night, Ray and I will start on her long journey."
She decided to go outside and look for her dad. First stop, her dad's favorite place in town, Shinra Mansion. She ran through the huge black gates that kept the old mansion from the rest of the world. Sometimes her dad spent days down in the old library and basement. He said it reminded him of all the days he used to travel, trying to save the planet. Inside, it was getting dark. She ran upstairs going room to room looking for her dad. She went through the secret passage and down the winding stairs to the basement. She looked around the library. No one there. "Dad?" No answer. She turned and went back upstairs. She ran down the stairs and out the door.
The sun was getting low in the sky. An hour passed and Sierra had checked every store and house in Nibelheim. He father was nowhere. Sierra walked into her house. No one was there. Tears streamed down her face. Her father was missing. Sierra sat down and thought of any places out of Nibelheim her father would go. One idea stuck, the reactor. Sierra ran as fast as she could until she got there. It was now dark and cold. Sierra was scared of the dark, forbidding mountains surrounding her.
