Chapter 12

"Stories have good endings, but not all does Ray..." A voice muttered to a young dog, He whined staring down to a old book. "But thats okay... Its just make believe bud." The young dog paw presses down onto the page, 

Red

Red was all he saw before he snapped up, Ray was frazzled his mind a mess he looks around, wait... This isn't where he- His eyes stop at a figure low to the floor, a strong scent of lavender strung around the room. His eyes start to adjust to the darkness, 

...

Nova, Ray stared blankly, then slowly pushed himself towards Nova, his mind yelling at him to stay away from the traitor... He couldn't, it was his friend... No, no he cared so much more then a friend... But what? He shook his head his hand placing on the cat, he didn't move. Soft breathing did come from him though, he was asleep. Ray sighed, 

his hand moved away. "Why couldn't you just of stayed... I- i wanted you to stay.. I care about you more then you will ever realize..." Ray whispered, his eyes filled with tears, he closes his eyes. 

"I-i... I care about you too.." A voice startled Ray making him look towards it, Nova was staring at him. He squinted his eyes and tackled Nova hugging him tightly.

Nova started to cry too he finally hugs Ray back his tail wrapping weakly around Ray. 

"Come on Nova.. P-please, w-we can go home.." Ray muttered his hand makes it way towards Nova's face, Nova leans into his hand his eyes staring back into Ray's. Ray moves his hand away pushing himself up with both hands he looks towards the vent then towards Nova.

"Come on.." He said holding out his hand for Nova. Nova smiles weakly and takes Ray's hand, Ray pulls Nova up Nova wobbly to stand. Ray takes a moment watching Nova regained his footing, Ray leads the way while Nova is behind, the two go into the vent...

Rose was pacing back and fourth anxiously waiting for someone, Ella walks down the stairs to see Rose worried sick. "Rose, hun are you alright?" Ella goes into the living room to stop Rose from her pacing. Rose shakes her head, A her hands lift up to sign.

 (No Ray hasn't returned in hours, im worried sick.) She explained, Ella takes Rose's hands, intertwining them with her own. "Hey... It will be alright, im sure the others will go out to find him.." Ella tried to reassure Rose, Rose looked away still not convinced. Ella sighs, "We could go talk to the others about it, will that make you feel better?"

Ella asks, Rose finally glances back at Ella and finally gives her a weak but warm smile. Ella smiles back taking one of her hands and leading her out of the house, the dome felt empty without the moon, but without the sun it made that emptiness even worse... 

Ella sees a very panicked Elliot, she glances down at Rose then back towards Elliot. She begins to walk towards him, "Elliot?" She muttered catching Elliot's attention, "Huh?- oh, hello you two.." He said, Rose glances at Ella. She sighs, "Whats wrong? Have you guys found Ray?" She asked, Elliot took a moment before shaking his head.

"No, he hasn't. Were planning on going out to find him." Elliot explained, 

thump

The critters froze, where did that sound come from?

Rose glances around seeing, nothing Ella was beginning to panic. "It probably was nothing." Elliot muttered,
