“Yes,” I said, standing up. I walked over to her as she led me out.


    She led me into her office, which is really big and tall. It has an indoor waterfall which roars loudly, a bunch of machines and electronic parts for the school work and herself. It smelt of metal and also plants.


    “Lillianna, you might wonder why you are here.  First, sit down and I’ll explain the situation. I’m afraid your parents have been reported missing by the Magic Hunters. Any ideas why?”


    I frowned in surprise. I’d just seen them this morning! “Really? Are you sure about that?” I asked, not believing Ms. Shark.


    My parents were some of the most important people in the government. If the Magic Hunters couldn’t find them, that was worrying. The Magic Hunters were the most important police force in the world: elite wizards and witches sent on the most important missions for the government.


    “Yes. According to the Magic Hunters, they saw the security camera record. Here it is!” she said, holding up a remote control.


    I gasped! The video showed some black cloaked figures sneaking behind my parents in the kitchen, silently shooting them with some kind of magic from their hands, knocking them unconscious, abducting my parents. From another camera, I saw them throwing them into a car and driving off.This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.


    “Lillianna, in case you’re wondering, they sent 5 witches to find them, and you will NOT go looking for your parents on your own! The government will find them, and you will be safe here,” said Ms. Shark. She was psychic and could read minds. She knew what I was thinking.


    “What!? Only 5 people? You have no idea how important my parents are! And if the Magic Hunters cannot find them, then who will?” I said, almost losing my wits.


    “Lillianna, they will find them! Trust me!” she replied.


    “FINE!” I shouted, storming out the office, adding more darkness to the office on my way out.


    “Woah, Lillianna, what happened?” asked Maddie.


    “Seriously? That’s what I get when my parents are kidnapped!” I shouted.


    “WHAT! Are you sure about that?" she said, worry forming across her face.


    I sank to the ground and muttered, “yes.” I walked glumly back to my dorm. I bolted my doors with high-tech security and grabbed my backpack. I threw open my fridge and grabbed as much food as I could such as trail mix, granola or protein bars, apple slices, cubed cheese, salami and many kinds of jerky. I also grabbed my first aid kit and my flashlight, small hammer, gloves and ropes from under my bed. Yeah, under my bed. And most importantly, my clothes, tents, and sleeping bags from my closet.


    “Lillianna! Let me in!" yelled Maddie from outside my dorm.
