I cried like the many people around me. The movie was over as the screen ran its ending credits. I wiped the tears coming out my eyes as I rose from my seat. Everything felt so real with all the realistic effects. I have never been to a movie theatre before in this life. I decided to sleep for tonight and begin my plans for tomorrow.
"There's the cave from that movie around here," a girl showed her partner.
Maybe I could visit that cave later. It was also a new experience to see how the filming set would be like. I was walking towards the gaming centre to see how virtual reality would feel like. I could finally experience what the protagonists felt inside the famous comic books based on virtual reality. I would have to take a bus to the nearest city from here.
I admired the view as the bus started to descend the mountain. The bus was almost empty as there was no one who got up this early. This was one of my habits from Luke waking me during the extreme early hours in the morning before class started. I took more pictures out the windows to keep as a souvenir.
Although it was early morning, there were many people who gamed until it was morning. I booked a room for myself as my eyes glittered at all the machines. When I was about to attach the cable on my head, I listened to a sudden news report that flashed on the screen. I froze as I pulled up my hood.
"The Roselia family is looking for a young girl around thirteen years of age. She possesses light silver hair and orange pupiled eyes. Here is a photo of her posted on social media," the news anchor showed a picture of me on the top floor of that tower.
I sighed as I needed to travel to a further place. Maybe I would have to leave this country altogether. This was no time to think about playing games. I would have to book a plane ticket out of here. Instead of using the machines for its initial purpose, I paid for some plane tickets. My shoulders became slumped as I left the room. It was more expensive to access tickets that didn't need your identity to be confirmed.
I ran to another bullet train leading to the airport. Thankfully, the cloak covered everywhere except for my face. I slipped onto the plane as it rose into the air. This country was located on the other side of the second district. I could continue my travels there. I hoped the people in the first district would have a harder time reaching that place.
With their exceptional technology, I walked out of the plane within a half a day. I had already booked my room inside the plane. I was starting to run out of money after all the extravagant purchases to continue my journey. As I rushed towards the exits of the airport, I ended up bumping into someone. My hair tumbled out of my hood and my entire identity was almost revealed. Unfortunately, it appeared that the same news spread to this country as well.
When the people had noticed I was the girl on the screen, they started to report me. This country wasn't safe as well! I turned to try to book another airplane ticket but was blocked by the staff. My appearance stood out from the crowd as the same news repeated over the screen again. I twisted and turned to escape from the staff. I would have to stay inside this country. At least I had the chance to escape to the opposite end of this country if I wasn't allowed to use a plane.
However, wherever I looked, there was the staff inspecting the people who left the airport at all the exits. I shivered as I could feel the power that their families possessed. I never felt it first-hand like today. It was a better option to dash to the roof and jump from there. I chose to climb the stairs as I panted after overexerting myself.

My eyes widened as I found a helicopter coming down from the sky. I hid behind the wall as I sneaked a peak on who could be inside the helicopter. I covered my mouth to prevent any sounds from coming out. Luke walked out of the helicopter as he walked towards where I stood. Alex followed after him with Shelly in tow. I couldn't believe they were able to get here so fast.
It could be only possible if they used the teleportation gates in hidden locations in the second district. Wait. Their families did have the power and connections to use those gates. They probably used a helicopter afterwards to not stand out as soon as they arrived in this country. I stopped breathing as the sounds could instantly reveal my location.
I lightly stepped around the walls as they walked closer to me. We were only a metre away from each other. When my running shoes squeaked as I took another step, they instantly spun from their spots. Maybe I shouldn't have worn those shoes. Luke instantly walked towards where I stood with his great hearing.
But there could be a chance he didn't notice it was me yet. I was covered by a long cloak that had helped me arrive here so far.
