Our Other Place In The Sun

Chapter 2 (Far From Lugnica)

"Both Barusu and my sister are missing!" Ram said. Her patience finally running out

"Wait Subaru, and Rem Rem are missing?" Petra said in a worried tone. The children loved Subaru, and were worried that something happened to him.

Ram, sensing the children didn't have any idea where they were, took off back to the mansion not saying another word to the children. Leaving them all frightened at Ram's small outburst.

"I hope they find Subaru" One of the children said, breaking the minute long silence.

"Don't worry, Subaru will come back. He loves to spend time with us. I am sure he would not leave us out of the blue" Petra said. All the children cheered up a bit as they went to playing around,

Ram arrived back at the gates of the mansion and collapsed to her knees and started to sob. She was exhausted from all the running around she was doing. A couple minutes later Rosswal approached behind her.

"What seems to be the matter, deer, I heard you running around the mansion." Rosswal said. Ram looked at Rosswal with tears rolling down her cheeks

"That idiot Barusu, took Rem away from me!" She shouted her sobs growing louder as she covered her face

"What makes you say that?" Rosswal said as a confused and concerned look came across his face. Subaru never came across to him as a kidnapper, or member of the witches cult

"I went to both of their rooms this morning, and did not find either of them. So I checked the kitchen, and they were still not there. I went to Emilia and she said she didn't know either. I then ran to the village, and asked the locals and they didn't know either" Ram cried out

"Well it seems to me Ram your drawing conclusions too early. None of this is direct evidence that Subaru kidnapped her" Rosswal said, putting a hand on her shoulder. Ram stood up wiping her tears from her face

"Why don't you take me to their rooms, so we can investigate" Rosswal said walking back towards the mansion. Ram nodded and the two made their way to Rem's room. They both entered. Nothing seemed to be out of place. The bed was a little bit messy, but other than that the room seemed fine.

"I don't see anything that could tell us where they went. Why would Rem leave me like this? She wouldn't, I know she wouldn't" Ram said. Ram collapsed to the floor as she started sobbing again

"Hmmm lets us see here Ram I do sense so-" Rosswal was interrupted

"I'm sorry I suppose" Ram and Rosswal turned to the doorway to see Beatrice with her signature blank facial expression

"Ahh Beatrice glad you could join us. Me and Ram are trying to find Rem and Subaru. They have gone missing it seems." Rosswal said

"I am aware" Beatrice said still with a blank look on her face Ram stood up and approached Beatrice hastily

"You know where my sister is!" Ram asked with desperation in her voice. Beatrice looked up at Ram before sighing heavily

"Yes and no I suppose. Last night I was testing some rather unstable and unfamiliar ancient magic. I have been researching this magic for the past three months. I had never attempted it until last night. The intended effect was to create a portal leading to another world. But I lost control over the spell, and it became unstable. A small dimensional explosion occurred. Somewhere in the mansion. In a panicked state I directed the dimensional bomb away from the forbidden library. Hoping to redirect it somewhere in the woods. But It went off before I was able to do so, and it seems like Rem and Subaru were the only ones in the blast radius. Transporting them to a different world. I suppose" Beatrice said her expression not changing through out her lecture
