Fooling.

'Still cannot believe I am doing this...' I thought as I was getting ready to become a true actor.

"We already searched everyplace on the village and we still couldn't find any traces of Nash!" My wife said crying. At the time for the birthday person to come and celebrate, the person who is Nash went missing!

I can understand why she would cry, it's already night and nothing... not just our kid is lost from sight, all the other kids are missing, the older ones from the village.

"It's okay Beth... we'll find them, and Nash is a smart kid, I'm sure he's fine." I spoke to Bettany trying to ease her worries.

As I was talking to my wife, the father of Juro arrived at our side and said - "We still didn't look at the shack, it should be closed, but we have to look there..." It was possible indeed, the kids wouldn't go away from the village, to the forest.

"You're right... let's go." As Juro had finished his phrase, Bettany received hope in her eyes and so agreed with going there.

With a little hope that I too attained, we quickened our pace towards Juro's house as beside it was his shack.

...

When we arrived there Juro wasn't with us as he went to get the keys on his house. It was only my wife and I. The other families proceeded the search on their own.

The first one to yell and bang on the locked door was my wife - "Nash! Nash! You there?!" As she shouted expecting someone to answer, we heard something.

"Mom! Open please, mom!" It was Nash's voice, even if his voice was a little faraway we still undertood him.

As soon as we heard him, Bettany tried kicking the door open and surprisingly it didn't open even with the rotten wood - "Calm down Beth, give me some space I'll open for us." I said getting ready to kick the door open using my energy on my body.

With a loud sound the door was ripped open from the middle, giving us a space to pass through.

As expected he was not in this room but underground, at the library.

"Nash get out from under the trapdoor, I'll break it!"

Without wasting time I prepared again my energy and stomped my foot at the trapdoor breaking it making wood fly everywhere inside the library.

I didn't have time to move as Bettany flew by me like a arrow descending the stairs and looking for our son.

As both of them found each other, both started to shed tears and share a hug - "Sorry mom... t-they locked me in here!"
