Alyssa's eyes fluttered open and she sighed since she felt sick.
The cold room made Alyssa shiver as she turned around to hug Juliet because Luna didn't like it when people hugged her.
Alyssa noticed Juliet wasn't on the bed, so she carefully sat up to look around, only to discover Juliet was nowhere to be found.
Alyssa struggled to stand up because she was still cold, but she eventually did and looked around for Juliet.
Alyssa's eyes widened when she noticed that most of Juliet's belongings were missing from the wardrobe, and her trolley bags were also missing.
Alyssa's eyes welled up with tears as she hurriedly exited the walk-in closet to wake Luna up.
Luna was a heavy sleeper, and Alyssa shook her and called her name several times before she finally woke up.
“What is it?” Luna asked, irritably, in her hoarse sleeping voice, and Alyssa replied, "Juliet isn't around, and all her things are gone," as Luna sat up quickly.
“H-Have you tried asking Jace and Alexander?” Luna's voice cracked as she kept her hand on her brow because she was dizzy.
Alyssa replied, "No, I haven't asked them yet or left this room." As Luna hummed standing up, they both quickly went to Jace and Alexander's room.
Luna knocked on the door, hoping that Jace or Alexander would open it quickly.
The door opened, revealing Jace, who was shirtless, and Alexander sitting on the bed.
“Juliet is missing,” Luna explained as Jace stepped aside to let the girls in.
Alyssa and Luna walked into the room and sat on the sofa as Jace saw Alyssa crying so he glanced at Alexander who nodded.
“Are you sure she isn't here?” Alexander questioned as he stood up stretching while he kneeled in front of Alyssa and Luna.
Alexander wiped Alyssa's tears away as he held her hand and said, "Don't worry, just tell us everything, and we will find her," as Alyssa nodded quickly.
“I will notify the guards to look around the castle and inside as well, just in case,” Jace said as Alexander nodded and Jace walked out of the room, leaving Luna, Alyssa, and Alexander behind.
Alyssa stated, "I... I wasn't feeling well and I was cold, so I turned around to hug Juliet when I noticed she wasn't on the bed,” she sniffed as she continued, “but when I entered the walk-in-closet, I noticed her things were gone, including her favorite trolley bags,” which worried Alexander.
“I informed all of the guards, so they are aware.” As Jace entered the room, Alexander said, "Jace, first call the family doctor."
Jace inquired, concerned, "Is everything okay?" Alexander shook his head and replied, "No, Alyssa isn't feeling well, so we need to make sure she is okay."
“All right, I'll call the doctor, and then we'll look for Juliet.” Jace said as he picked up his phone from the dressing table and exited the room.
Alyssa sighed and asked, "What if Juliet is in trouble?" before adding, "We need to find her first."
“We'll find her, so you should relax and let us do our job.” Alexander said as Luna nodded while she added "Juliet would want you to feel better." As Alyssa sighed and nodded in agreement.
“Alyssa, you lay down while we look for Juliet,” Alexander said, as Alyssa stuttered, “B-But I want to help.”
Alexander said, "You need to rest until the doctor arrives," because he was worried about Alyssa and knew she hadn't been feeling well for a long time.
Alexander had previously asked Alyssa if she was feeling okay, but Alyssa simply dismissed the question, claiming that it was just because of stress but Alexander had seen her vomit once, but he thought she was fine later, but to his surprise, Alyssa was still sick.
“When is the doctor going to arrive?” Luna inquired, concerned, as Alexander replied, "I don't know," as they held Alyssa's hand to assist her in standing.
Jace returned to the room as he noticed Alexander and Luna assisting Alyssa in standing up.
“We need to take her back to her room so she can lay down and rest,” Alexander said, as Jace responded, “Okay, the doctor should be here in 10 minutes” he walked up to them and said, “Move aside.”
Jace easily picked up Alyssa's bridal style as he walked back to the room that belonged to Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna.
“Stop worrying and rest,” Jace said as he placed Alyssa on the bed, while Alyssa sighed and nodded.
Alyssa said, "She was worried and didn't want to go to the ceremony, so maybe something happened that's why she went." As Jace hummed in agreement.
“She ran away from this because she knew she couldn't see anyone with Ronin,” Luna sighed, continuing, “It's all my fault; if I hadn't forced her, nothing would have happened” as Alexander hugged Luna and shook his head.
Alexander said, "She will be safe, and she will return home soon." As Luna nodded and tried not to cry.
Everyone was concerned about Juliet's whereabouts, and they had no idea where she was, which Luna blamed on herself.
It had already been 15 minutes when the doctor entered the room, and Jace left, leaving Alyssa with Alexander because he didn't want Alyssa to feel uncomfortable.
Luna walked out of the room a few minutes later, and when she saw Jace sitting on a sofa, she sat next to him.
“Has the checkup been completed?” Jace inquired, and Luna replied, "No, Alex is still with Alyssa because she asked him to be," as Jace nodded his head.
Jace said, "Yeah, Alex knows a lot about everything, so it's better if he stays with her unless she's feeling uncomfortable." As Luna nodded.
Luna fiddled with her thumb as she stared at her hand, feeling guilty for what had happened.
“I am sorry,” Luna said quietly as Jace shifted his gaze to Luna since he wasn't sure why she apologized.
“Why are you apologizing?” Jace inquired, to which Luna replied, "Because I know Juliet ran away because I was being so forceful towards the part where we all should attend the ceremony," while wiping away her tears.
“It's the best opportunity to find out what Kim, Amy, and Sam are up to,” Jace said, as Luna sighed and nodded, knowing Jace was correct.
Luna rubbed her face as she turned and stared at Jace, saying, "Yes, but if Juliet is feeling uneasy..." She paused for a moment before adding, "...I will back away from this plan as well."
