It was hours later as Dakota and Rhea were in the kitchen, fixing some breakfast for themselves. Dakota didn't know where Y/N was, but she figured he would turn up again either at lunch or in the afternoon. It was weird that he left his phone there, but even that wasn't a sign of danger to her, so she sat down with a bowl of cereal as Rhea prepared some coffee.

Rhea:" So how was the trip here with him?"

Dakota:" It was nice. I had to laugh when he told me that you spilled tea all over him. That's so ridiculous."

Rhea:" I'm never going to live this down, am I? Yes, I did that, but it was worth it in the end."

Dakota:" Oh trust me, I know. And now that he's staying with us, I can't even begin to think of ways to tease him."

Rhea:" Knowing your new attitude, I know this won't be too hard."

Dakota:" But he will be."

Rhea:" What?"

Dakota:" Nothing!"

She quickly got back to eating her cereal, not even daring to look at her housemate. It was unnatural to see Dakota get intimidated so easily, but if everyone thinks about how Rhea is in the ring, they could understand that feeling.

Rhea:" Anyways, where is Y/N actually? I thought he would be here with us this morning."

Dakota:" I don't know. He said he would look around the city for any open jobs to see what he can find. But leaving his phone and also his clothes, I'm not so sure that he's safe."

Rhea:" You don't think something happened to him?"

Dakota:" Of course I think that. Someone must've kidnapped him. This isn't the usual way I go about things, but we should go into the city and ask around, if anyone has seen him."

Rhea:" Please tell me you have a normal picture of him on your phone."

Dakota:" Of course I have. I'm not a horny teen or something. Let's finish up, get dressed and then go out there."

Rhea:" Alright. That man couldn't have gone far. He doesn't know his way around Orlando after all."

Dakota:" Right."

So without wasting any time, the two gulped down their remaining food, got dressed in more casual clothes and took their essentials with them. This situation worried them greatly because Y/N isn't only their friend, they also want payback on whoever was responsible for this mess. Rhea got into her car first to get it started while Dakota hopped in a moment later and fastened her seatbelt.

This was a Mercedes CLK 500, nothing too fancy. It got the job done everytime and it would today. Rhea put the engine in reverse, got out of her parking spot and quickly drove towards the city. Dakota was fumbling  around on her phone, preparing the most normal picture she had of Y/N to show around. Someone at least had to give them any clues at some point, so when they got to a quite populated area, they both called for attention and showed the image to everyone, asking if they have seen the man in question. Unfortunately there was little to no help, but a few people started flirting with both Rhea and Dakota. A few slaps later, they drove to another well populated area and started the same procedure. But the results were the same. No clues, but comments both positive and negative, so they went to the local performance center to ask anyone that was available. This search was gonna be hard, but they needed to save Y/N, no matter what.
---------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile in the old warehouse, Y/N was still chained to the altar. He closed his eyes and took deep breaths over and over again until Asuka and Kairi came back to him. Kairi held a small bowl in her hand with the mixture that was created before. It was a dark paste that contained several different things. Asuka turned to Kairi and dipped her fingers into the mixture to paint something onto Y/N. She took great care, yet her nails still dug slightly into his skin. This process was going to take a lot of time and the smell of alk the different ingrediants used for this mixture was dazing Y/N already. Whatever they put together, it was working. The thing Asuka was painting was also in the book.

Of course did her best while Kairi looked on and made sure every line was placed where it belonged. This stuff was drying quickly, but everything had to be connected properly in the end. Y/N wasn't too aware of what was happening anymore, he just tried to keep his eyes open. It was hard enough to get to this part of the US, how could he have expected something like this to happen? Nobody could prepare for a kidnapping of any kind. He hoped that Dakota or Rhea or even both were on their way.

Kairi:" Stay calm, martyr. It will be over before you know it...And we will become the goddesses of this world."

Asuka:" You should feel honored. We specifically chose you for the best possible result."

But Y/N didn't hear much of it. His consciousness was slowly drifting away and he didn't like that one bit. Asuka and Kairi were smiling though since this was all part of the ritual. A few more preperations had to be done, but everything worked out for them so far.
---------------------------------------------------------

Rhea and Dakota were in the performance center now and confronted everyone that was there at the moment. Everyone looked at each other before Rhea got a word in.

Rhea:" Okay listen here, everyone. We all know this doesn't happen very often, but we're looking for someone."

Dakota:" A friend of us by the name of Y/N L/N. He just got to the city yesterday and he was with me and Rhea until a few hours ago."

Rhea:" We both know what you're all thinking and yes, it seems like someone kidnapped the poor bastard."

Dakota:" Take a look at the pictures and tell us, if you know anything."

Two lines had been build now. One on Dakota's side, the other on Rhea's side as they showed the picture of Y/N. This was really turning into a goose chase. Every lead they had was washed away like sand. It seemed like the ones responsible were dead-set on not being found, but there was one crucial thing both women completely missed. Back at the house, there was a letter sticking out of the mailbox. It was in a black envelope that actually would call easily for attention, but not for them yet. So as the questioning went on, their worries grew because they didn't get anything.
--------------------------------------------------------

When Asuka finished the first crow, she took a tissue and clean her hands while Kairi looked at the sky to see from which direction the wind blows. The clouds were moving west and that was exactly what the ritual needed. They would also need the moon to line up with the hole in the roof that was right above Y/N, who was missing everything that was going due to the smell of the paint mixture. Images did flash in front of his closed eyes.

---------------- Visions -----------------
Y/N was on a field in all his naked glory, a river was flowing a few feet away. A light breeze hit his skin as pale flower petals flew through the air. He didn't know how he got there or why this was going on, but it was much nicer than what has been going on in the real world. Y/N walked forward and took in the scenery, picking up a dry tree branch. There were a few scratch marks on it, but nothing else, so Y/N continued walking. The field was so peaceful, it looked like it was from a movie with the sun shining and birds chirping. When he reached the river, he was spotted by a young doe. The two looked at each other for a while until the animal took off into the wild. Y/N smiled slightly, but shivered when cold water hit his feet.
---------------------------------------------------------

In reality, Kairi put her cold hands on Y/N's temples to massage his head. This step was also necessary to induce an ellusive state of awareness. Asuka was reading things from another page in the book as this went on. She smiled at first, but then broke into a fit of concentrated mumbling. The words she read were in latin, but they reeled her in so much that almost nothing could break her out of this state. It has also been about three hours by now and the early afternoon was coming which meant there was a weather change to expected. They knew about it and took necessary preperations by starting a camp fire. Kairi piled up some wood and a few leafs for a base and Asuka lit a match and threw it in there to light it. Since it was winter, the wind was much colder and the sky was much darker than it normally is. The fire was starting quickly, doing its best to warm up everyone near it. If this was actually working out in the end, the world could be doomed when Asuka and Kairi take it over. It all seemed too well coordinated to just bring something for two people. The two must've gotten orders from someone else and that was going to be the downfall of the majority of humanity.

Asuka:" Remember what was said, Kairi. We have to do it right at midnight. All the candles must be lit, the moon must shine on our sacrificial lamb and we need to have his seed in us. Do you understand?"

Kairi:" I do. Everything we need is stored under the floorboards and will be used accordingly."

Asuka:" Good. Now we wait."

They sat next to each other and looked into the fire with a distant look. The two were completely sure there was nothing interfering with their ritual.

If they only knew...
---------------------------------------------------------

Rhea and Dakota were back on the street after asking everyone at the performance center about Y/N. It took a lot of time and nerves for both of them to stay calm and collected in this situation.

Dakota:" It can't be that nobody knows where he is."

Rhea:" I know. It worries me as much as it worries you. Maybe there's something we missed. We should go home again and look at everything there."

Dakota:" Okay...We have to find him."

Rhea:" We will. He's a strong guy."

Rhea then took a turn and drove back towards the house again while Dakota looked out of the car window, thinking about possible solutions to this problem. She looked through the Master bedroom because that was where Y/N last was. Her eyes narrowed when she saw the building they were living in getting closer. When Rhea got the car parked, Dakota immediatly got out and  checked the windows, seeing quite a few scratches on the rim and the wall. That meant someone broke in over night. Rhea casually looked into the mailbox until she found the black envelope. It wasn't made out of typical paper, it felt rough to touch and had a smell to it. A smell of...

Rhea:" Why would anyone sprinkle rose water on a letter?"

Dakota:" Hmm? Oh, you found something. Let's get in and see what the letter is about."

Dakota quickly unlocked the door and let Rhea and herself in. They sat down on the sofa, not knowing what to expect as Rhea unfolded the paper.

Rhea:" Okay, it says:

Dear recipiants of this letter,

life is full of mysteries. Do you know why the moon is important to us? Do you know why we need the right lambs to bring to the slaughter? This...world is nothing, but fake. Illusions of power in the brains of senseless fools. We are so sick of the fake heroism, the wrong leaders making the wrong decisions and, to change the face of this very earth, we will harness the power of the lunar gods to bring this illusion to its knees. We will shape a new world from the fires of war and we will eradicate all who oppose our will.

So cast the first stone,
Stand in our way.
It's vengeance you owe,
With blood you will pay.

I don't know what to think of this. It sounds crazy."

Dakota:" It is crazy. These people wanna start a revolution by themselves? And they need Y/N for it? I highly doubt they're any threat, but to be safe, we should prepare ourselves."

Rhea:" Yes. Something else I saw were marks on the path that leads through the small forrest near us. Maybe they took Y/N there."

Dakota:" That's possible. We should get ourselves ready and use the cover of the night to free him. Those assholes are gonna get it."

That was definitly something they could agree on, so Rhea put the letter away and walked into her room to look for something to arm herself with. Dakota did the same shortly after and also made sure every lock in the house was working as intended in case someone else tried to break in. This night wasn't going to end pretty at all. Nobody messes with Dakota or Rhea and gets out unharmed.
