The air in the living room was overwhelmingly tense and cold.

"Justin! Calm down!" Asher, as the eldest brother, forced himself to stay composed. Even though he was terrified that his sister had gone missing, he took a deep breath and stepped forward to support Justin, steadying him. "Don't lose control! None of us can afford to mess up now. Right now, the most important thing is to figure out where Bella went and find her as soon as possible!"

"Justin, Ash is right!" Ralph, though his own heart was aching, tried to offer reassurance. "Don't worry, we're all in this together..."

"All of you have your loved ones with you; they're safe... But my Bella is missing!" Justin's eyes were red with fear, his muscles tense and quivering as he lost control and shouted, "Bella is everything to me, my whole world! If anything happens to her... If anything happens..."

Before he could finish, a searing pain ripped through his head, as if it were shattering to pieces.

Just as he was about to take her hand, Bella was suddenly pulled into a dark, endless void, vanishing from his sight.
