CHAPTER-7

Runo glanced at Lara, her gaze slowly shifted towards her hand clutching Dan's slightly. She wondered if the guy was Dan. Everything about him was different, except for his face but then her eyes fell on Drago, tears surfaced her eyes.

"It really is you." She wanted to hold him, kiss him but she felt hurt. Who was the girl? Instead she turned back and fled.

"Wait!" Dan yelled at her. "Please! Don't go." but Runo was already out of sight.

Dan collapsed into a nearby bench, his head buried in his hands. "What's wrong?" Drago asked him, Lara was still in shock to even say anything.

"We HAVE to find her Drago!"

"You know her?" Lara asked, finally able to speak.

"No" Dan replied, "but I have had visions about her, as if we both were really close while I was on Earth, we will HAVE to find her again. She might help me remember more."

Drago looked at Dan stunned. He wanted to ask Dan why he hadn't said anything but then Dan had been particularly distant after he learned the truth. "So you are sure this girl was a part of your life here?"

"Yes, I am sure she was really important Drago but why did she run away?" Dan asked.

Drago knew the answer. He knew Runo, he was sure she must've made some assumptions; he knew she must be hurt. However he agreed with Dan, they had to find her. He could then explain everything to everybody, he was sure they would understand.

"Drago, can I ask you something?" Dan asked. "Do you really have no idea about my life here?"

"No," Drago lied "you didn't even talk about it"

Dan frowned; he was so sure his life here was lovely, why didn't he talk about it then. "Come on then" he said, "we have to get going if we have to find this blue headed girl."

LATER

Runo slammed the café door.

"Runo what's wrong?" Alice asked certainly worried.

"Dan's here Alice, I saw him! Drago was there too" Runo's voice thickened, "he was with a girl Alice! He had his hand around her shoulder."

Alice shuddered, what the hell was Runo saying? It didn't make sense at all. "Runo you must've…"

"Been mistaken?" Runo completed Alice's sentence for her. "There was an engagement ring Alice! He is engaged to her.

Alice still couldn't believe Runo. Dan had fallen in a dimension gap, how he could be here on Earth. Plus above all Dan had loved Runo, why would he cheat on her? Nothing fit, it seemed like many pieces of the puzzle were missing.

"Runo," Alice said gently taking her by shoulders, "I am sure there was an explanation, you tell me the whole story quietly while I inform the others, ok?"

Runo nodded as tears surfaced again, she hoped there was an explanation, as she felt her engagement ring in her hand.
