Chapter 4

Alusia

There was a knock on my door. I didn't get up knowing it was my sister Autumn. Then it knock again so I've no choice but to open the door but Autumn wasn't there instead I frowned as I stare at my former Professor. She's now my sister-in-law.

"Miss Davidson?" I wonder what she need. It was so awkward that we live in the same apartment.

"Cut it out, Alusia. Call me Harper." There's something odd about her.

"Ok?" I was unsure. "No. I'll call you big sister. So, how can I help you with?"

I saw how she tense with my question. Something is wrong. Did she and my sister argue? But Miss Davidson isn't that kind of woman and it was late already for her to bug me if it wasn't something important. I saw how she seem to cry without knowing and for what reason I didn't know. She touch her lower abdomen as if she's getting her strength in there.

Weird.

"Alusia. Autumn went out to buy a pizza. She's not back .. yet. She was suppose to be here half an hour ago."

Fear immediately registered on my face. The scenario of us running away from the hunters who wanted to kill us seemed to return. What if they hunt my sister down? I honestly dont like what Im thinking but I cant help it.

"Are you sure Autumn didn't go anywhere else Miss?" I know I sounded so anxious but I just wanted to be sure.

She shook her head. "Autumn doesn't like staying out so late."

That's true. Autumn and Miss Davidson were inseparable. Then where did my sister went to? I didn't come home last night so I dont have any idea where would she might be.

I suddenly felt different.

I help her sat on the couch in our living room and I quickly took a glass of water and gave it to her. I could see that she's stressed and it was really uncomfortable for me. She was even restless. I wonder wheres my stupid sister.

I place the glass on the center table after she drank.

"Autumn doesn't like pizza." I said. Why would she eat that garbage? And it was not typical of my sister Autumn to leave the house this long.

I saw Miss Davidson bit her lower lip and instantly I felt guilty about asking her too much questions. It's really hard for her. I feel sorry for her now. Where is she? Her wife's really worried and I couldnt help myself not to.

"I'm .." She caress her lower abdomen. "I'm pregnant."

She's what?

My lips parted before my eyes widened upon realization hit me. I look at Miss Davidson in awe. Does that mean Im gonna have a nephew? Our small family will have an addition.

"Yes!" I shouted and even punch the air. "You're great Autumn! Ouch!" I said as she hit the back of my head.

"Help me find her!"

I scratch my head as I remember our situation. It's just that I really cant stop myself not to feel excited. "I'm sorry big sis. I can't do anything. Accalia's smarter and it'll be easier to find Autumn if she's here."

Why didn't that one came home? We need her now.

"Why can't you?" She asked me unaware of my own situation.

"I guess I'm still young? You see, I'm the weakest of them."

Miss Davidson just didn’t know how different I am from my siblings.

"No, you're not. Dont say that Alusia." She disagree. "What time Accalia would be here?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know."

I close my eyes and try to concentrate.

Autumn, where are you? Speak up. I mind link her but after a while there's no answer from her. I opened my eyes and look at my sister in law before I shook my head.

"I can't reach her through mind link. It's either she blocked me or she's sleeping so I can't get into her mind."

But Autumn wouldn't sleep somewhere else! I sounded so stupid. I dont make any sense. Her wife said she just went out to buy pizza and never came back anymore.

Miss Davidson wipe her face. I could see the desperation and worried on her face. We couldn't do anything but to wait for Accalia. If I go out, no one will be with Miss Davidson and she's pregnant as well as restless. An hour had passed. The two of us were just thinking while sitting on the couch. Also, I can't tell her something that can ease the burden she's feeling because I know there's no way I can do that. An hour became two until it was seven o'clock in the morning.

Miss Davidson couldn't stop herself from crying and I just comfort her. Where's Autumn? She's been missing for nine hours! And my other sister Accalia didn't come home too! She's with that Dinosaur! But ok, we didn't know this would happen today. We were fine, just fine. Until this thing came up.

"She's fine. Autumn will come home." But she cried even more. I bit my lower lip for making the situation worst. I didn't want to think the worse possible things that might happen but I know Miss Davidson's thinking the same thing right now. My sister and she have this special connection so she could tell me things better than I do because when we're in danger. Our mates could feel it too.

The door opened. It was Accalia, my sister's smile faded instantly when she saw our state. She hurriedly came and I sigh from relief but I want to choke her for being so late.

"What happened here Alusia? Miss Davidson, why are you crying?!" It was obvious she's worried and confuse as well. "Where's Autumn?!"

Miss Davidson cried again and her eyes were puffy. She quickly stood up and hug Accalia knowing that my sister's still wondering but I know how hard it was for Miss Davidson right now. She just want to see Autumn and show up so we don't need to look for an answer where could she be at this moment.

"Accalia." Miss Davidson sobbed. My sister hug her too.

"Whats wrong Miss Davidson?" Accalia asked the same question I fired last night.

I rolled my eyes. I dont want to point out but it was her Dinosaur's fault why we waited so long.

Damn.
