"Something isn't right,"
"Do you know what I mean?"
"She would never leave without telling me."
"I know we need to work out where she went first, it might give us some clues to where she went."

*Rewind to Caleb's and Stella's talk (yesterday)*
"What was it you wanted to talk about Caleb?" Stella asked.
"I have a really weird feeling in my gut, something isn't right in the air." Caleb sighed.
"I am sure its nothing to worry about babe." Stella winked leading Caleb off into the distance.
"Your right Stella, I shouldn't worry about it." Caleb sighed stroking her cheek when she stood still for a second.
"Come on, Caleb at this rate we wont be able to get a coffee before next lesson." Stella hurried Caleb along.
"Alright I am coming. Honestly, remind me not to get in the way of you and your coffee. Its like Golem and the precious." Caleb joked while being dragged down the street.
"Very funny idiot." Stella sighed sarcastically.

*Colvin's flat on the morning of Lumi's disappearance*
"Colvin get up. Lazy bones! I'll send in a tsunami in 3.... 2....," Caspian shouted pounding on Colvin's door.
"I'm up!" Colvin shouted while falling onto the cold wooden floor as he rolled out of bed with a massive thump.
"You really need an alarm clock." Caspian laughed opening the door and giving Colvin his clean washing.
"I had one, and oh my what ever happened to it?" Colvin sarcastically laughed.
"Well apparently floor boards and water do not mix very well. And neither do electronics. You Peanut." Colvin continued.
"Alright someone got out of the wrong side of bed." Caspian backed away.
"Nope, I just fell out." Colvin crossed his arms angrily.
"Get ready and quickly, otherwise you can make your own breakfast." Caspian marched out into the kitchen and grabbed a frying pan. Then continued to commence his usual routine of singing loudly and vaguely out of pitch.
"I gotta feeling!" Caspian began to belt out.
"Next." Colvin marched out fully dressed and changed to the next track on the radio.
"She told me to Walk this way!!!!" Colvin sang swishing his whole body while doing so.
"Talk this way!" Caspian joined in sliding along the kitchen floor and starting to mix up pancakes with his powers.
The song continued until the pancakes were cooked and the gobbled down.
"Hey Caspian,"
"Yes Colvaroni?"
"Don't call me that jerk, but when you have dreams about someone what does it mean?"
"It depends on the dream and the person.  If its a girl and a date the chances are you might like her. If she seems out of the ordinary you feel you are becoming distanced from her.   And so on.." Caspian explained.
"Thanks." Colvin went red slowly.
"Anyway I better get going to um..." Colvin backed away, grabbed his bag and slid out of the front door.
"I bet he likes her." Caspian chuckled to himself.

*Lily's flat*
"Lumi? Wake up?" Lily poked the covers carefully.
"She already left?" Lily confusedly mumbled.
"Something isn't right. She never leaves without waking me first." Lily thought.
"I'll try calling Stella and see if she has heard anything." Lily muttered.
"Come on pick up Stella." Lily prayed.
"Hi Stella, have you seen Lumi this morning?" Lily asked.
"No I haven't, why?" Stella questioned.
"She left without a note and she didn't wake me." Lily worried.
"I'm sure she's just at form." Stella hoped.
"Something isn't right," Lily sighed "Do you know what I mean?" Lily asked. "She would never leave without telling me." Lily explained.
"I know we need to work out where she went first, it might give us some clues to where she went." Stella reasoned.
"Okay, you got to Wandering Wolves check there then meet me in the garden." Lily panicked.
"Alright see you soon." Stella hung up.
Stella bolted out the door leaving a cloud of stardust behind her out of panic. Non matching shoes, a half stained dress from the previous nights dinner. But she flew out of the door shinning like a shooting star.
"Lumi? Is Lumi in here?" Stella yelled slamming the door of the Wandering wolves into the wall with a loud crash. She then looked around and realised she wasn't then sprinted off again.
"Well?" Lily rushed over from the spot where her and Lily were sat just the other day.
"She isn't there." Stella panicked.
"We need to tell Colvin, he is the most rational out of all of us. And he needs to know." Lily sighed.
Lily then bowed to the ground and looked up slightly into the school. Then growled slightly. She saw Colvin sitting in the dark reading a book and knew where he was.
"Follow me Stella." Lily sprinted off like a raging wild fire, her hair was glowing a raging glowing red.
"But shouldn't we tell a teacher." Stella trotted after her.
"There is no time. Our last relative who had ice was murdered, I don't want Lumi to meet a similar fate." Lily raged on.

*SLAM*
"Colvin come quickly." Stella requested.
"Why? What is going-" Colvin was dragged into the secret library by Lily with Stella trotting in behind them.
"Lumi has gone missing." Lily explained.
"Are you sure?" Colvin gulped with his eyes turning white with worry.
"We have to find her." Colvin panicked as his hair turning white with fear.
"I know and we will. We need to work out what happened to her first." Stella reasoned.
"Alright well, she did say the other day she wanted to go to the ice library so we should check there." Colvin remembered.
"How will we get in?" Lily asked.
"Grab Adrien or Grace and I'll go in with their help." Colvin stated.
*A few minuets later when they were in place*
"Are you ready Colvin?" Grace asked getting into position.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Colvin gathered his confidence and strolled through the doors.
"Is he gone?" Lily muttered to herself.
A few minuets later Colvin returned, with a pale face he shook his head.
"She was here, she isn't anymore. We need to work out where she went next." Colvin suggested with his eyes glowing red with disappointment.
"Don't worry we'll find her." Stella reassured them.
"But how?" Lily asked with tears spilling out of her eyes and flooding the floor beneath her.
"We just need to work out who she spoke to before she left." Colvin smiled softly, as he handed Lily a box of tissues.
Stella hugged Lily tightly. "We'll find her Lil, I just know it." Stella smiled.

*preview lavenders perspective*
"Its started. The elemental wars I just know it." A quiet female voice sighed. I have to run, I have to get out now but how the guards if I study their routine I can find a point to escape.
