Chapter 2: Daniel

Pearl's POV

It’s been three days since that unnatural day occurred. No signs of Noctis and Yujin since then. Both Jade and I are worried sick because we haven’t received any replies from all the text we sent.

So, we decided to go back to the park…

“Do you think this will work?” Jade is standing right beside me, looking around as if she’s afraid. I admit, we don’t know anything to how and why we got to that ghost town version of our city. It just occurred in that spur of a moment.

“I don’t know. But it might somehow.” I sighed in frustration as we walk around the usual crowded park. We halted to the same spot where we got transported to the other dimension or whatever that place was, trying to figure out how to get back there.

“But what if it doesn’t work? We have no idea how in the world we even got into that place.” Jade made a defeated sigh, slumping on the ground while tracing the concrete with her index finger. Yes, it’s exactly as I thought. But I know, if we went there once, there can always be a next time. Could it be that it was only activated when Noctis and Yujin are there? But what makes them so different from us?

A sudden vibration was felt in my skirt pocket which made me instantly grab my phone. My eyes widened as soon as I saw the name of my caller. Bae
