Missing

elara kein p.o.v

I clung to the letter from my aunt, I wanted to cry, but there are no tears. Why am I so selfish? Why dId leave in this hell apartment alone??.

i left here because I've had enough of my uncle's abusive side, i just left for 1 year to ease the pain and anger inside me but i came back with nothing?.

As I kept regretting my decision Cap. Cesar spoke, his voice are gentle with authority…

"Your aunt dies 3 months when you left, she came to me to give you the letter and her saved money, she wanted you to inherit everything" he looked at me with pity.

I smiled fake "thank you Cap. Cesar" I said shortly, he takes a deep breath," I want you to know something elara…"

I can feel his gaze like he's about to announce something serious.

"Your cousin Ron and Your uncle is missing" my eyes widened, what does he mean?.

"I-i thought they left!?" I stammered something inside me felt a relief?, Cap. Cesar shook his head like I said something wrong.

"No, elara, the time your aunt dies your cousin and uncle had gone missing…" he said as I was about to speak he cuts me off and pulls out a paper inside the cabinet.

"This is the things that are found in the woods to bus station bench" he said and handed the papers, my eyes widened, I saw the necklace that I gave to Ron before I left, his shoes that have some blood in it.

My hands trembled I was thinking the worst way possible, when cap. Cesar spoke again with his gentle voice.

"elara, don't worry the police are still moving until now to find any traces of your cousin and uncle.." i looked at him, Cap. cesar is really kind, he always helps us especially my aunt when uncle started to abused her.

I nodded and kept glancing at the papers."ah, there's something i want to add elara" cap. cesar spoke again but this time he seems hesitated.

"please tell me cap. cesar i pleaded, i wanted to know everything. he finally spoke in deep and authority voice.

"Your cousin and uncle's case wasn't the only one, there are few people in this town missing as well..."

What!? What does he mean by that!?.

I stammered "What D-do you mean cap?" I ask.

He takes a deep breath "you see elara, tHere's been many mIssing cases in this town every year..." I can hear his voice trembled like he was nervous to say.

"Why dIdn't i see it in the news?" the town never release any news about people that had gone missing for over a year!.

"Because it will only make the people in this town to leave, our mayor doesn't want that" he saId, i can feel my nerves getting a bit irritated at his statement.

So the mayor wanted the people here to live here without knowing those cases? that'ss insane!. I take a deep breath and looks at him, he speaks again.

"elara, we also find out that those cases are connected" he grab the papers that are now on the table and put it back to the cabinet.

He looks at me with fear "before those missing people had gone missing, they reach to us police to tell about a strange figure wearing a cloak that they saw in their house or any place they are staying..."

i froze, my heartbeat started to rise fast, then that sink in. I saw that figure as well......
