Chapter Forty-Three: My Brave Girl
Mai pov
My body felt light oh so light, as though I'm floating into nothingness. I wanted to open my eyes, to go back, but I couldn't do anything.
Why, why did she do that?
"That man has defiled you. Now, come and turn pure. So Mama can protect you. You shall not remember anything that I will make sure. Mama won't let you be defiled by that man ever again." The lady words echo around the void I floated around.
No, I promise him, I promise him to stay with him. God, please help.
I prayed when all of the sudden felt a clammy cold hand wrap around my ankle and began to pull me down.
"No!" I yelled with all my might when suddenly felt my air has been knocked out of me causing me to blackout.
…
...
...
Sometimes life gives you unexpected surprises and at times they are blessings that show you the right way no matter how hard it is. All I could do, is, remember, remember that I am on a mission and that I will follow suit to reunite with my love. How long was I asleep? Maybe a day or a year? Not sure but it felt like an endless sleep. All I knew, my body felt heavy, that it was hard to lift myself.
Gently I open my eyes, everything is very blurry at first. Rubbing it harder my vision cleared up and I blinked rapidly to stare at a familiar place.
Where am I? Why does this look familiar?
Moving my aching body while rubbing my neck, I heard the door open on my left, feeling a crisp cold air rush in. I shivered from it and lifted my gaze. There, my eyes widen to see Lin, with Ayako, talking among each other.
"Yes, but now? Is that case so important, that we have to go in the middle of the night?" I heard Ayako complained, shaking her head in annoyance. Lin didn't say a word but begins to head in front of her. I felt my body pulse. Something feels off about this, but what?
"Poor girl, that boy has her working overtime again, I brought coffee and some donuts," Ayako hands me a brown bag of the donuts and the Styrofoam cup filled with coffee over the table and sat down, rubbing the bag between my fingers.
"Thanks," I whispered.
Something is not right. Something is off, I feel it in my guts. What? What is it?
My mind hammer on me as I heard the door open on my right. Turning my gaze, Naru comes out, adjusting his black jacket. My heart gave a painful leap as I watch him head our way my eyes tear up as though I wanted to cry as deep longing grips my heart.
Ayako takes notice and rushes to my side.
"Mai, what's wrong? Why are you crying? You had a nightmare?" she questions me. I rip my gaze away from Naru, to stare at her but shook my head. Slowly I stood up while she helps me by placing her hand on my arm. Naru stops in front of my desk and glances at me. I stare at Ayako, as more tears run down my cheeks.
"Ayako!" I cried, wrapping my arms around her midsection. She looks down at me but wraps her arms around me rubbing my back very gently.
"You had a nightmare?" she smoothly asks trying to be very gentle, like always. I glance up, crying harder, my chest hurts now.
Nightmare? I don't know. It feels more than just a nightmare.
I move away from her wiping my cheeks and I turned to stare at Naru, his eyes are cold. but his deep penetrating eyes look deep into my eyes causing my heart to leap.
Lin returns, holding something in hand which looks like a white bag but stops when he looks at the situation and glances over Ayako to question with his eyes what's happening, she just shrugs at him, as she goes up to him to grab the bag.
"Is it about the case?" Naru asks me as he moves closer. I hiccupped, trying to find a way to speak. My mind felt jumbled up.
"I... I need to go home." My voice is thick my hands now shook terribly.
Something is not right, why when I look at Naru, my heart breaks? Moving around the table, Ayako takes a hold of my arm, just in case I fall over.
"Can I go?" I asked Naru, he seems to think about it, but nods. Moving fast suddenly I don't know, but I lose my footing and almost fell face forward, but instead of meeting the floor, I felt two strong arms around me.
"Get up at five sharp, Lin will take you to our destination." His voice is soothing and deep causing chills to run down my spine. I slowly glance up to see that my hands are on his chest as his arms are around my waist and our eyes lock and my breath caught. My heart started to hammer hard, as a blush seeps into my cheeks.
Why does this feel right? Naru… The simple touch of you is making me go weak on my knees. I want to cry, I don't know why?
Raising my hand, I bend my fingers to caress the side of his jawline causing his eyes to narrow, while I ached to lean forward and kiss him.
"Are you going to stand there all day?" Ayako interrupts our moment as she pops to the side, I jump out of my trance as Naru straightens me and lets go of me as though he just touch fire. I frowned, feeling my heart ache a little from that. Naru turns around to touch his jawline with a complex confused look, but his cheeks turn to a tint of red.
"Thanks," I bowed down then turn to head out, my heart beating harder than ever. Grabbing my jacket, a sudden weird sensation pass my body making me stop in my tracks.
"Find me the head, and I will show you Alack's death. Remember your mission!" I heard a male voice scream in my head.
Who was that? What mission? What head?
Feeling a hand on my shoulder cause me to jump up in fright looking back, Lin gave me a concerned look.
"Are you okay Mai?" He asks as Ayako and Naru glance at us. I nervously laugh waving my hands.
"I am so tired, I didn't have a good sleep last night, I'll be up early… Err good night." I bowed, heading out not before placing the jacket around me, I glance up at the night sky, feeling the crisp air.
Why does this feel strange? What's happening to me?
...
...
...
Heading home felt strange to me, I don't know why but it felt foreign to me like I'm not used to it.
I can't sleep. I twist and turn in my bed, snatching the blankets away from my body, and turned to my right running my hand down the empty spot.
"It feels empty, something or someone is missing, this is strange, I never slept with anyone." I sat up, looking down at my right, bundling my legs up grasping my blanket.
This is not good, if I don't get to sleep, I'll be late and Naru will be mad.
"Come on Mai, you're nineteen, I have forgotten all about him. Even if he did return from England."
I pep talk to myself. Laying back down I glance at my right, running my hand up, and tighten my hold on the bed quilt.
'Then, why is my heartbreaking? Why do I feel so lonely?" a deep sorrow grip my heart that I ended up crying, it's unbearable the feeling.
I suddenly jumped when my cellphone rang, lighting up the darkroom. I wiped my eyes, trying to compose myself and I stretched my body to grab it from my nightstand and unplugged it out of the charger. Swapping the green button to pick up, I place the phone on my ear.
"Hello?"
"Mai, open the door," I heard a familiar male voice. I blinked confused by this... I lowered the phone and blinked a few times to read who is calling me. My eyes narrow.
"Naru," I spat out with disbelieve placing the phone back on my ear.
"You're here, at…" I glace over my digital clock (Which is on the nightstand,) which flashed midnight.
"At midnight?" I asked.
"Just open the door," he simply said and he hangs up. I rubbed my head and stood up not caring how I looked, and rushed out the bedroom heading of my living room, and opened the front door. There stood Naru looking at me with a rose brow, leaning his arm against the base of the wall.
My heart skips a beat as the suddenly deep ache of loneliness went away as this strange new emotion came over me.
"You know we have to get up early, right?" I asked him, but my heartfelt happy to have him here. Naru nods as he waited for me to invite him in. I took a step to the side and he enters while I closed the door behind me.
"Want some tea?" I asked as I gesture him to sit on my couch a few feet away from my door, but he looks a bit puzzled though as he steps into my apartment.
"I came to make sure you're packed," he simply said as he just stood.
"At this hour? You're crazy." I rolled my eyes at him, but deep down I was thankful for him for coming over.
"What's the real reason you're here at this late hour?" I asked him.
"Where's your room?" He ignores my question. I was taken aback but pointed on my right around the corner near the kitchen. He nods and began to head toward there.
"Wait, you can't just randomly go to my bedroom," I shout going after him, he first opens the bathroom door on his right, but then shuts it and turns to his left side and opens my bedroom door. Entering, I went inside behind him to see him look around my somewhat messy room after he turns on the lights. I bite my lower lip but took notice his eyes landed on the bed.
"I'm afraid that you won't make it, this is a last-minute thing as you know," he tells me. I shook my head as I walk around him.
"You have a point, I haven't packed yet," I stated and with that, I bend down to grab my small black suitcase which was under the bed, and flop it on top of my bed. Upon opening the suitcase, I glance down to see two old fashion white gloves. I arched a brow as Naru looks over my shoulder to look down at the suitcase.
"Particular taste you have," Naru said as I reach down to grab the gloves and arched a brow as I run my fingers through the fabric.
I have seen these before, where though?
"This looks familiar, they aren't mines," I whispered as I turned only to gasp at how close has gotten to me. His eyes searching mine making me be stuck while I held the gloves closer to my chest as my heart began to race.
"Then why are they in your suitcase?" he whispers.
"I...I don't….know," I said nervously. I look down at the gloves as something seems to flash my head…
These gloves on top of a bed, a bed that I have never seen before, and another one inside of a chest.
"We'll figure that out later, where you crying again?" he asks me, my eyes narrow as I took a step back.
"Err, No," I lied, but he didn't believe me at all. I sigh in defeat from his stoic look.
"I've been having a deep strange feeling of something seems off, like I'm missing someone," I admit to him. Naru listens carefully to my words.
"Must be the new case, you're normally highly sensitive with each case," he assures me. I nervously laugh and nodded.
"Maybe," I somewhat agree, as Naru frowns at me.
"It's getting late, let's go and grab your things," Naru stated, but his voice sounded strange, while he turns to head for my closet on my far left. I frowned looking back at Naru's broad back.
Why am I happy to have him here right now? But something is missing though. Naru, what's happening to me? What do these gloves mean? They feel important.
...
...
...
"Bou-san!" I called out running out of the building towards him as I took my small suitcase that Naru helped me pack, just in case we stay longer than normal. Bou-san is leaning against the van, cross arms smiling at me gently.
"About time, I thought we were going to be late." He smiles at me as I reach his side breathing a bit. He ruffles my hair and turns to open the door after he takes a hold of my suitcase and went behind the van. I blushed looking down, rubbing my eyes trying to take away the sleep. I went to sleep four hours ago, since Naru spent an hour helping me pack and he wanted some tea before he left, but I didn't care since I spent some time with him. Also, I was wondering about the gloves, which I had to leave behind.
"Ah, but there's where you're wrong, I didn't hear the alarm and almost got up late," I told him watching him come back with a medium box at hand and went inside the van. I go after him and close the door. Then I leaned forward to wave at Lin, which he's holding the steering wheel.
"Ohayo," I told him feeling a bit happy to see him. Lin nods and starts to drive off. Bou-san looks down at me with a strange look.
"Ayako told me about your little outburst last night, are you okay? Your eyes are so red," he leans closer to me and takes a hold of my chin to look over me. I shook my head, blushing slightly.
"I was emotional last night of lack of sleep, plus I'm still sleepy, overall, I'm better now, so where is this case? Naru wasn't specific with it," I asked rubbing my hands together. He lets go of me and glances out the glass.
"An old building, in Kyoto," he explains. I nodded leaning my head against the window, watching the scenery pass by.
I'm certain something will go wrong. I have that gut feeling, please, let me be wrong.
For the rest of the ride, we chatted and ate something on the way and I would take a small nap, but to wake up only to feel anxious as though something is missing and I couldn't point my finger on it. A few hours later, after the long ride and a few bathroom stops, we finally reach our destination. Lin parks in front of an old white washout building that looks like an old prison, than anything. It is large with bars in front. The brown, color almost disappearing.
"This is a prison," I shivered, looking up at Lin. He places his keys inside of his pants pockets and shook his head.
"This prison was first to open back during the second war world to put dangerous inmates then it closed about twenty years ago. It's been reported a ghostly apparition, mostly one with no head. It haunts the hall so they call us up, to get rid of it since they want to demolish this old prison, to put a hospital." Lin explains to me. My eyes widen at the mention of a headless ghost.
"So Naru accepted this case? No head… Creepy." I shivered at the thought-feeling Bou-san next to me, adjusting a box on top of his lap.
"Well, he's the boss and we have to follow what he gets, so no argument, let's go," he moves swiftly towards the front black doors. I shivered as soon as I step into the grounds, a sudden sensation pass by me. Like someone is watching me from the building itself. I glance up and for a brief second, on top of the roof, I swear, I saw a shadow of a wolf standing there and smirking.
A wolf? Wait, do wolves live in these parts of Kyoto? I watch the wolf disappear as I felt a hand on my shoulder causing me to jump in fright. I turned to see Masako giving me a strange look. I blinked rapidly.
"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you, but stop dozing off, help a bit, Naru is getting irritated," she removes her hand and covers her mouth with her kimono sleeve.
"Masako," I chirp out surprising even myself, I wrap my arms around her and gave her a soft hug.
"Mai, what in the world?" she snaps at me as I move away from her.
"Sorry." I blushed, looking down at the ground feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Oh right, have you felt anything in this place? You have been here longer." I asked her. She blinks but nods gently at me.
"It's strange, I feel only two strong presence here. Not sure where though but they are evil." She whispers, turning to our right to head towards the open gate that leads to the creepy building.
She can feel it as well? Is it the wolf? I'm already scared as it is. This is so nerve-wracking.
I headed in following Masako, going in the patio straight to the open doors of the prison. I rubbed my arms as this anxious feeling came over me.
While I followed her the atmosphere around the old prison seems to become thicker. The long creepy brown hallways seem to give that, 'It's very haunted.' Aura. Turning towards our right, I found myself staring at the monitors, where Naru sat in front, adjusting the screen. No one insight.
He must have come earlier than anyone else, it's a long ride. Did he come directly after he left my apartment?
"Where're the others?" I asked moving to his side. Masako goes over to the chair on her right and picks up a small pink bag and starts to look through it.
"We are stills settling things Mai, Ms. Hara, go with Lin and search the third floor. See if you sense anything more." Masako nods after picking out a pen and places her bag back down and turns to our right to head out and I arched a brow up.
"Hey, what about me? Don't I get a partner? And where's John and Yasu?" I asked looking around while Naru stands to head out. I hesitated on moving. Normally Naru doesn't let the base unintended. Well, at times.
"Brown can't come today, but he will later on tomorrow afternoon, as for Yasuhara, he'll be joining us tonight. And as for you, I need to show you around, since I was voted to be a tour guide." He simply says. I frowned, lowering my head, rubbing my arms.
"Dang, you sound thrilled by being picked to tour me." I rolled my eyes during my dry statement as Naru gave me a side glance placing his hands inside of his pockets.
"I'm glad you can sense it. Don't worry, your partner will be Houshou, later in the day," he assures me after that reply. I nodded, a sudden sadness pass by me.
I wanted you to be my partner, I don't know why, but when I'm near you I feel at ease, without you near me, I get so anxious.
Without realizing it myself, I move behind him grasping his jacket, as my bangs cover my eyes. Naru kept walking, but stop, due to my hold on him.
"Mai?" he turns, as I kept looking at his jacket.
I can't shake this feeling off. I need Naru by my side. Why? When he's with me, I feel so much peace.
How pathetic that sounds. I have forgotten about him, right? He rejected me so let it be like that. Then, why am I holding so tight? My heart beating hard. Why am I crying?
"What's wrong?" Naru turns, to bend down, placing his hands on my shoulders, I glance up, crying even harder.
"I didn't sleep well last night after you left." I felt like a lost child, as Naru frowns, giving me a strange look, hesitating to pat my shoulder.
"So your crying because of that?"
No, because I want you next to me. I don't know why, it's painful to be so far from you.
"No. I.." I stopped as an eerie feeling passed by me, and my eyes widen.
"Find the head, see how he died and start the fire my little fire starter." the same voice from last night echoes in my head. I hissed, taking hold of my head.
Firestarter? What does that mean?
"Mai?" Naru asks a little concern. I wave my hand, trying to avoid him.
"I'm okay, a headache," I lied moving away from him, Naru didn't look convinced but turns to head straight not catching his concerned look. I glance at his back.
Who is that? Why do I find that man's voice familiar? What's happening? Why do I long for Naru, not even when he went to England, I missed him this bad. Someone, please help me.
Taking a breath I follow him out. Slowly moving behind, he shows me the cells and the cafeteria. The cafeteria gave away a deep depression, it's a huge place, bigger than the lunchroom at my high school. Old, torn silver decaying seats, and tables, half-eaten by time itself. The walls are a pale brown with graffiti written on the walls.
Shivering, I move toward Naru, looking up at old metal stairs that lead to the second floor.
"Reports have it that there was a massacre here. One of the cell-mate beheaded a man, for an unknown reason, so our job is to get rid of this terrifying ghost, that roams the hallways." Naru explains, crossing his arms, looking straight ahead. I shivered, not liking this at all.
"I know this sounds odd, but are there wolves around this area? Or back then?" I asked him. Naru turns his gaze at me arching a brow, as though to say, 'Wolves?'
"Not from my acknowledgment, why?" he asks me. I rub my arms nervously, I told him about what I saw on top of the roof, while he takes hold of his chin, thinking deeply of what I told him.
"Interesting, there's no report of wolves, or phantom of it, just a headless phantom. I'll look into it, I'll continue to show your around in a bit, let's go back to base." he turns heading downstairs again and that eerie feeling cast over me once again while I watch Ayako and Bou-san appear at the end of the hallways, bickering about something.
Ayako rolled her eyes, watching them enter the base. Each step for me became agonizing as I began to breathe harder and harder. I took a hold of my chest.
Why is it so hard to breathe? These hallways are scary.
I move closer to Naru. Then I heard a footstep behind me. I stop raising my sight, as my body temperature drops making me cold and I breathed out as I can see my breath. The footsteps behind me started to get louder and louder, but they weren't footsteps, but...
A loud horse sneer behind me, and my eyes widen.
"Now, Isac sure loves to meddle with things, and the protector is sure pissing me off," a familiar voice echoed behind me, but not the same as the other voice. I slowly turned feeling my heart beating hard against my throat and a real fear shot through me as a horse stood at the cafeteria entrance and a shadow person sat on top of the horse. The horse is cover with fire and his red-shot eyes staring at me. My scream caught in my throat petrified to move.
The shadow guy pointed at me.
"This is no use, remember soon and return. I know my brother and the protectors plan all of these. Fine, if you want to see how I died, then I will show you how, but before that, I'm still furious that you burned my body, without my permission. That husband of yours never ceases to amaze me, sure is smart, now remember and get me my head, before you decide to burn it. I'm tired of these useless taunts."
I watch the horse and the rider disappears causing me to exhale out the breath I was holding. I felt a hand on my shoulder causing me to slightly turn to see Naru arching a brow but I swear I can see him a little concerned.
Did he see what I saw?
"Mai!" I heard behind me turning my gaze, Ayako rushed towards my side feeling Naru remove his hand away from my shoulder and Ayako wraps her arms around me. I shook, looking up at her.
"We saw you through the monitors, it looks like you saw a ghost, but we didn't catch anything on camera, what happened? Why are you shaken so badly?" I shook my head, moving away from her, rubbing my temples.
"I didn't see anything," I lied, not sure why though. Moving my steps, I pass Naru and Bou-san and headed for the base. Upon entering, I flop down into the first seat, and cover my face with my hands, trying to recall everything that just happened.
What's happening to me? From the moment I opened my eyes last night everything felt so strange. Who are those two men? Why am I anxious when Naru isn't near me? Why can't I sleep well?
I heard footsteps in front of me interrupting my thoughts. Lifting my gaze Naru grabs a chair that is in front of the monitor and rolls it in front of me, and sits down to face me head-on. I blinked, with a tint of blush.
"What did you see?" he simply asks, with a low voice so no one can hear us. I look around to see if Ayako and Bou-san could enter and save me, but nope, they weren't in sight.
"What made you say that?" I question him. He gives me a straight look, that causes me to feel small for some odd reason.
Wait, so he didn't see it? It was clear as day, scary.
"I know you too well, tell," is his plain answer. I gulped heavily but shook my head.
"A horse, a big horse, that look like it came straight out of hell, and there this rider its ghostly, with red eyes, it said, that I need to remember," I explain shaking all over again, Naru frowns, tilting back.
"Wolves, and horses? This is new, nor was it in the description. This case has turned even more interesting, but remember what?." He mumbles to himself. He turns around to face the monitors and starts to mess with the buttons on the monitors and rewinds what happened five minutes ago. I slowly stood up and went up to him and look over his shoulder to look at the monitor.
"It's clear that you can see something but the cameras didn't pick it up it just empty." Naru points at the opening of the cafeteria. Without a thought I extend my hand and place my hand over his, to move his finger, but the slight touch of my whole being jumps delightfully, as this strange electric shock goes through me. I felt Naru slightly jump, but doesn't remove it as he just turns his gaze to look at me with this deep look in his eyes for me.
"He was standing right here, there's nothing, strange," I whispered after I pointed at the spot near the cafeteria. Without removing my hand away from him, I turned to face Naru, but only to gasp as I took notice of how close we were. My heart beginning to race as his blue eyes penetrate deeply into my very soul. I suddenly licked my bottom lip, as my breathing becomes rigid, but I couldn't help but to look at him with longing again and love.
"Strange... Indeed," he whispers leaning closer to me. My heart racing so much as I move closer to him, our breathing mixing, almost shallow breaths.
Then everything around me disappears, and we now stand alone, in a dark room, Naru standing in front of me, and I can see him perfectly. My heart jumps with delight, as I finally remember the glass and the scary ghost lady.
"I miss you, please, wake me up," I pleaded with him cupping his warm cheek. He just stares, moving his hand and grasp my hand that cups his cheek. A red blush passes my cheek while my body feels tingly and warm from his touch.
"I'm trying, hold on okay. Stay strong be my brave girl." he whispers, moving closer to me, I inch closer to him as our lips were a few inches away from each other, almost touching and our breathes mixing.
My body seems to become alive once again and my heart warms up, into something that I couldn't explain. Our eyes kept locked as our longing for each other can be felt in my very soul. I felt a tear roll down my cheeks.
"I miss you terribly." I whispered, closing my eyes Naru presses his lips on my forehead giving me a soft kiss then leans his forehead against mine, and gave me a gentle smile.
"You are my brave girl, you can do it, so hold on for me, I'll protect you." and with that, he turns, as we let go of each other,
"I'll try Naru, but I don't remember anything," I told him honestly as Naru fist his hands, but doesn't say anything and my Naru disappears along with my memories.
I blinked rapidly to see Naru sitting once again, looking at me while everything comes back to normal, and I blinked, not sure what just happen.
What just happened?
I felt Naru rub my knuckles, but let's go of me.
I blushed hard as I lift my gaze to see Ayako and Lin walk in with Masako and Bou-san right behind them. Shaking my head, a sudden weird sensation passes my body, and I glance up to see my friends.
When my eyes lock with Naru, for a reason, I found myself turning red, and I avoided his gaze. I shyly look at my hands feeling my heart racing.
"What just happened?"
o.O
Deleted Scene, the fourth year in Black Lagoon:
"So you're going to build a boat?" I asked Naru as he looks at the book he's holding, I glance over his shoulder to see a diagram of a boat hand-drawn.
"John's hand has drawn the steps of how to make a boat, and since we have no other choice, and I have time in my hands, why not? If this keeps up, we will never leave this place. It's been four years Mai, I'm forgetting how the city life feels like." Naru said as he lifts his gaze at me. I clap my hands and pointed at him.
"I know, I feel the same, but I got an idea, those sharks that come seasonal, can't we train them and tied them so they can hitch us a ride to the nearest bay in Japan?" I asked him. Naru simply looks at me giving me a strange look.
"Sure," He said as he stood up from the ground and dusted his pants. I blinked surprised by this.
"I was only joking," I told him as he arched a brow.
"I wasn't," he replies seriously as I felt a sweat drop.
"Aren't you Mr. Fun," I said causing him to wrap his arm around my waist and began to sway us side to side, in a steady soft way. I place my hand on his arm looking up at him a bit startled.
"Ne, Naru, warn a girl before you swoon her." I giggle causing Naru to chuckle a bit. I smiled gently, loving this.
"Then there wouldn't be an element of surprise, would it?" He said. I shook my head as I smiled at him.
"Then are you serious about taking out my offer?" I asked him. Naru shook his head as he leans down and kiss my cheek causing me to smile. I just love his random kissing.
"No, I'm not crazy enough for a suicide mission like that," he said as he lifts himself to look at me. I nodded at him and cup his cheek.
"Good, too much trouble. oh Mr. Kazuya," I said seriously.
"Hmm?" I look up at him and capture his cheeks and kiss his forehead, his nose, both of his cheeks, and then mouth so gently feeling him smile gently. I began to caress his cheek using my knuckles as Naru leans into my touch.
"Mai?"
"I know you don't want to hear this, but Happy Birthday and to your brother Eugene," I told him since today is his birthday and he's turning twenty-four, and I turned twenty-three two months ago. Naru went still at my words, but then he relaxes as he wraps his arms around me.
"Thank you." he simply said as I wrap my arms around his shoulders, and rub his back, knowing that he wouldn't want to celebrate it, but a simple wish is enough.
"Happy Birthday, and I wish you all the happiness in this world."
Thank you for the reviews. Makes me happy, I will be adding more deleted scenes here and there, to make up for the six-year gap of how they survive during those missing days I didn't write. I hope you'll enjoy it.
