Chapter 404: A Family Reunion (1/2)

”What about our car?” Adriana protested.

”Let's leave it. We'll buy a new one once all of this is over.” I convinced her and pulled her hand to make her stop her prolonged inaction.

I just sensed that this was not a good place to be right now. The atmosphere was hot and the temper of the people mirrored the temperature to a tee.

I wouldn't even be surprise if there would be a stampede in the following seconds judging by the frantic expressions of the multitudes.

”Okay.” Adriana finally muttered after we had distanced ourselves with that troubling scene. One car, even if it was lost, was not a big deal to her.

She could replace the piece of metal with but a flick of a finger. Thus, the two continued on their journey unhindered.

”Pheew! That was a good walk, right honey?” I joked when we finally arrived at the end of goal.

”One that I would not do anytime soon, honey.” Adriana complained. She was a mess.

Her makeup was gone along the lines of her sweat and her thin shirt was fully drenched that hugged her voluptuous womanly charms to its peak.

”HAHAHA! I reckon that we'd walk again later, honey.” I said and continued to enter the premises of the mansion before us.

”Mom! Dad!” Adriana strode past me and excitedly knocked on the doors of the house. She tried for five minutes but the entrance remained closed for her.

”What could have happened to them? Why are they not answering, Seth?!” my girlfriend asked in panic.

”Let me try and go towards the back of the house. I may find a way inside from there.” I offered but my action paused when I heard footsteps coming our way.

”Dad?” Adriana called hopefully as she too, noticed the particular sound.

”Miss Valeska?” a youthful voice queried behind the gate.

”Kelsey?! Is that you?! Where's mom and dad?” Adriana exclaimed after she gained a ray of hope come for her in the form of the newcomer.

The doors unlocked and we had been able to see the smiling face of Kelsey. There were beads of tears coming off her pretty eyes.

”I'm so glad to see you Miss Valeska! I could not imagine what I'd do if… if…” she wasn't able to continue what she was about to say as she had totally crumbled to the intense emotions of fear and uncertainty she felt.

”Hush! We're here now, Kelsey. Everything's going to be okay.” Adriana hugged the 16 year old girl in her arms and consoled her gently.

”I'm sorry, Miss. I…” Kelysey stuttered as she regained her composure after a minute in the embrace of my girlfriend.

”It's fine, Kelsey. You've been through a lot. Tell me, where's my parents? Are they alright?!” Adriana asked once more and a hint of dread came off her voice as she feared what she might hear from the teenager.
