"Ace, let's see who will reach mom and dad first!" Atlas yelled over his shoulder at his brother who had his head buried in a book.
Ace scrunched his face and shook his head, "I'm not running, mom said we will fall and get hurt if we run remember?" Ace said calmly.
"Just admit you're scared to lose to me." Atlas stuck his tongue at his brother before he ran towards the house leaving Ace under the tree.
His brother was such a bookworm, he knew he would probably be a doctor when he grows up due to how he always had his nose buried in science books.
"Mom! Dad!" Atlas said excitedly as he opened the door, running towards the kitchen. His mom had promised to bake them cookies so he was sure she was there.
He heard voices and paused as his heart slammed in his chest. Who was there? Why did he hear fear in his mom's voice?
"Where is she? We know you took her" Atlas heard a dark husky voice.
"No-no I didn't. I don't know…"
