Reunion

Bianca frowned when she heard her telewand twinkle. Who could that be? She took her telewand out of her pocket and checked who was the caller. She pressed a couple of buttons and Duke Skrik’s face appeared on the screen.

“Hello, Bianca. Thank goodness you answered,” Duke Skrik sighed in relief. She noticed heard voices of a man, a woman and a child chatting with one another in the background.

“Hello, Duke Skrik,” she greeted, “What’s goin’ on?”

“This morning someone came in looking for you and someone called Estella.”

“Oh? Who is it? It better not be a bounty hunter, or else I’ll–”

Bianca stopped when Duke Skrik handed his telewand to someone and their face filled the screen. It was a young belle. Behind her was an optican couple.

“Mom? Is that you?”

“Lyra? Great Guardian Delle!” Bianca covered her mouth. Tears started to form from the corner of her eyes.

“Yes, it’s me,” Lyra nodded as she wiped the tears away from her eyes with one hand, “I am so happy I finally found you. How’s Ma?”

“I am not sure. I haven’t found her yet,” Bianca’s lip quivered, “I will come and pick you up now and we can talk more.”

“Thank you! I will wait here with this nice gentleman. Bye, Mom.” Lyra waved. Duke Skrik leaned closer and waved as well.

“You better. See ya.”

Bianca wiped her tears as she quickly got ready to fetch her daughter.

“We will find you, Estella,” the bounty hunter stated as she climbed into her astro-ship, “No matter how long it will take.”
