Lena: Takes off mask slowly Wh-what happened? Why do they look so... scared?
narrows her eyes, looking at the three masked figures Who are these people? Are they...are they the ones who did something to my sisters?
Looks at the masked figures
steps forward, voice shaking with anger Answer me! What did you do to my sisters? Did you hurt them? Why are they scared? Masked Figure 1: stutters nervously W-we...we didn't mean any harm. They...they started asking questions...questions that...that we couldn't answer.
Hey, man, calm down. Let's talk this out. Looks at Masked Figure 1
grabs a nearby chair, holding it tightly Talk this out? You think you can just walk away after traumatizing my sisters?! points at the masked figures No!
Calm down, okay? I'll handle this. Steps in front of Lena
voice trembling with rage Handle this? You think you can just "handle" what these monsters did to my sisters? throws the chair across the room You don't understand! They...
Puts his hands up I get it, alright? They're scared and confused. But we can work through this. Just...just calm down.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Okay...okay. We need to find out what happened. We need answers. starts pacing back and forth And we need to make sure my sisters are safe.
Nods We'll make sure they're safe. But let's start with you. How about you tell me what happened tonight? Everything you know, no matter how small it seems.
stops pacing, takes a deep breath Okay...I'll tell you everything I know. But promise me you won't hurt my sisters. I...I just want them to be safe.
I promise, Lena. Just speak up.
takes a deep breath and begins speaking, her voice shaky at first but gradually gaining strength Okay...here's what happened. My sisters and I were invited to this party by some kids from school.
gulps W-we arrived at the party, and everything seemed normal at first. But then...then these masked figures showed up.
Yeah, I saw them. What did they do?
pauses, her voice quivering They...they started watching my sisters closely. One of them even approached my sisters and started asking strange questions.
clenches her fists Like...like what kind of creatures we were, if we had any powers, if we could see the future or something like that! It was creepy...
Jeez, that's messed up. Did they say anything else?
takes a deep breath, her voice still trembling They...they started laughing...mockingly. And then...then one of them grabbed my sister's arm tightly.
Damn that's fucked up. How did you get away?
grits her teeth We managed to escape...we ran away from the party, not knowing what these masked figures would do next.
Shit, Lena. That's rough. But hey, you're here now. Safe. And we'll figure this shit out together, alright?
nods, trying to steady her trembling hands Okay...okay. We'll figure this out. But first, we need to make sure my sisters are safe.
Yeah, we'll get on that. But right now, why don't you try to calm down? You're shaking like a leaf. Here, have some water.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down Th-thank you... I n-need to be strong for my sisters.
Yeah, you're pretty tough, Lena. Now, tell me more about these creeps. Did they say anything about where they're from or what they want?
takes another deep breath, trying to steady herself They...they said something strange. They mentioned a place...a place called "The Shadow Realm".
The Shadow Realm? That sounds like some kind of myth or legend. You sure that wasn't just bullshit to scare you?
shakes her head, determination in her eyes No...no, it wasn't just bullshit. They believed it was real.
Real or not, we should be fucking terrified. Alright, Lena, I think we should go to the police station and report this. Get some help.
nods, her voice filled with urgency Yes, we need to go to the police right away! My sisters are still in danger, and I can't bear the thought of them being hurt!
Alright, let's go. But remember, try to keep it cool, alright? We don't want to freak out the officers. Just tell them the facts.
grabs her phone and starts searching frantically We need to find out more about The Shadow Realm. There has to be something online...some information that can help us understand what we're dealing with.
Alright, search all you want. But remember, take it easy. A panicked rabbit's not gonna help anyone. Find out what we can, and then let's go to the cops. Got it?
frantically typing on her phone, her voice filled with determination Okay...okay, I'll find something. Just...just be patient, SizzlinThief. We need to figure this out.
