Upon reaching the central town, Aria's eyes scanned the horizon, searching for any sign of Ryan and Samuel. She had expected to see both of them waiting for her, but as she looked around, she could only see Samuel standing by the old hall office. Aria's mind raced as she realized that Ryan was nowhere to be seen.
The worst-case scenarios, were beginning to build up on her head. Where was Ryan? Had something happened to him? Had he been injured? Aria's panic grew with each passing moment and she quickened her pace towards Samuel.
Sarah followed close behind her and as Aria approached Samuel, she could see a look of concern on his face. "Aria, where have you been?" he asked, looking towards the lady at her back before taking his attention back to Aria "We were starting to get worried."
