chapter 63

N/A: Well, nothing goes as planned, so this chapter will be about Elsie.

Elsie, who had seen everything that had just happened in the village, wanted to rest in her new home, which formerly belonged to Alan and Ethan with their daughter.

Haci went after talking to the villagers to rest with his daughter, to free his mind that has been working to understand everything that had happened.

When Elsie returned to the village leader's house, she did not find what she expected to find...her daughter was not in the house.

Abie...! ... where are you daughter?

Elsie said over and over again, as she searched for her daughter, every moment that passed without finding her daughter, anxieties flooded the desperate mother's mind.

I searched the kitchen and even Alan's rooms and other rooms I hadn't entered, but nothing.

Stop playing Abie...I'm not playing hide and seek!

There was no chance of anyone taking her away since everyone was at the meeting place, no one was missing...

That's when a thought came to Elsie's mind... Could the one who caused the anomaly be the one who took her daughter?

Although that thought terrified Elsie, she didn't give up and kept looking, so she decided to go as a last resort to the place where her last hopes of finding her daughter were...her home.

Elsie's legs were shaking with anxiety and fear of not finding her daughter at home, after all, if she didn't find her daughter at home all hope would go down the drain.

Sound

The squeak of the door was heard, once Elsie started to open the door, the house is somewhat dirty and the door had traces of not having been maintained, which caused it to start rattling.

There was no chance that Abie was in the house...after all, the door had apparently not been open, which caused all hope for Elsie to fade.

Like a soul in pain, Elsie entered the house with a completely dead expression.

Sound

No!

She couldn't give up hope, it was her daughter and as long as she didn't find her, she would always look for her.

But as if it was a gift from the heavens, Abie was in Elsie's husband's room...the window was open and the sun's rays were beginning to stream in through the open window.

When Elsie saw her daughter, she couldn't hold back the tears, when she went to hug her daughter, who was still looking at something outside the window, at first Elsie put it aside, since Abie in almost all her life had never seen anything but snow and seeing such a beautiful landscape had surely surprised her.

Dad... there!

That word surprised Elsie, it was a bombshell that was dropped at that moment, which left her stunned for a few seconds.

What did you say, daughter...? said Elsie, not believing what Abie had said.

This time Abie apparently did not respond, when he decided to point to a place where there was nothing in plain sight but a large mountain full of vegetation.

Elsie, confused as to what her daughter was talking about, decided to go to her husband's binoculars, which were in the drawer next to her bed, to see what her daughter was pointing at, but that's when a big surprise hit her.

Once he put on the binoculars, he could see what his daughter pointed out, a hooded man standing on the mountain pointed out by Abie, who was apparently watching them, something impossible since they were too far away to be seen without binoculars.

But his daughter could see that person, something that should not be possible so that impossible Azaña could apparently be true.

"You mean him with daddy "Elsie said to her daughter when she found her smiling as she nodded.

It was impossible for Abie to have known her father, after all, he had left before the birth of her daughter.

Minutes seemed like hours as the man was finally leaving before waving his hand in farewell.

"Mommy...here, daddy gave it to me for you... "Said little Abie, as she caught her mother's attention, with a letter she held in her hand.

Letter: to my dear wife

I really don't know what to say, I know you will be hating me for the years I was absent from our daughter, but the truth is that I was always with you, I knew my daughter and spent time with her even if you didn't know I did...I'm sorry for not telling you, but I hope it will take away some of the resentment you have for me.

But let's leave that for when we meet again and receive what I know I will get once you see me, dear Elsie you are in grave danger I had to appear because I really don't want you and Abie to be trapped in the disaster that will happen to the village...so I ask you to flee with the instructions that are attached to the letter, there is a secret passage that is below the village in case of danger, we built it when we created the village for this moment, I hope you escape and get to safety with our daughter.

"It's true that you ran into your father all the time "Elsie said as she turned to look at her daughter, who was avoiding her gaze.

"Well mom...if my dad told me not to tell you... "Abie replied.

(Elsie) "I see..."

"But still I can't leave the villagers suffering in the village...I'm not really so cruel to let whatever is going to happen happen to the people who always supported me in everything "Elsie said to herself as she remembered the people in the village, who helped her when she gave birth to her daughter and needed help more than ever.

After all a single mother, she does not have an easy life, being on the contrary a very difficult life, that without the support of the people Elsie would surely have had to suffer.

[Well, I knew you would say that, so turn the letter over].

I catch a glimpse of Elsie's last words, after refusing to escape alone from whatever would happen to the village.

On the back of the letter, more text was seen, so Elsie read it.

Well I knew you wouldn't leave the people...since you were fond of them for sure, well the truth is that I was also fond of them and I wasn't thinking of leaving them to die, I knew you would choose to save them, after all, you are my dear wife for nothing....well the truth is that on the back of the map of the subway escape zone, there are the names of the people who are spies of the organization that captured Alan, don't worry, he is fine with the others so there is nothing to worry about, I hope you listen to me and don't take the people named in the letter...see you wife].

"Well let the plan begin "Elsie said to herself, as she prepared to leave.

While the letter might sound suspicious since she had not seen her husband, there were two things that assured Elsie that the one who wrote the letter was her husband, the first was the feeling in Elsie's chest that told her it was her husband, and the number written on the sheet, something only the two of them knew, the number of stories her husband told Elsie that was the number that was written as a signature.

N/A: Well, that ends the Elsie chapters, now start the Ethan chapters.
