Fighting Fate.

Morning.

Walking down the stairs sluggishly, his eyes moved about the living room catching sight of Titrus, Anina and Mrs Smith sitting not too far from each other. 

"Oh , you're up"

Anina said on seeing him with a smile. She had a cup of tea in her hand and had just taken a sip that had wet her lips. Stace walked towards them even when it seemed his initial intention was to head for the kitchen.

"Yea I'm."

He replied as soon as he was close enough. 

…"since we got back, I haven't set eyes on Elaina, yesterday I thought maybe she took a walk around but I'm just coming from her room and not a sign of her"

He added, fixing his eyes on Titrus.

"Yea the other girl.. that's true ..what about her?"

Mrs Smith asked, turning her head towards Titrus who heaved a sigh before lifting his face up to Stace.

"They came for her"

He said.

Everyone's face showed confusion.

"What do you mean?"
