The woman had long, fluffy bunny ears just like Evelise, the same snow white skin, and blood red ruby eyes. Her short silver hair gleamed in the sunlight.
There was no mistaking it.
It was Evelise's mother.
She was pacing wildly, turning in circles as she kept calling.
"Evelise! Where are you? Evelise!"
Her voice cracked with worry. When her eyes finally landed on Sid peeking from the window, her expression twisted sharply.
"What the hell are you doing!?"
She screamed, pointing at him.
"Don't just stand there! It's your responsibility to keep Evelise at home!"
"Me? Keep Evelise at hom—"
Sid blurted, caught completely off guard.
"Yes, YOU!"
She snapped.
"Don't 'me?' me! Get out there and check the woods! She better not have run off again— now MOVE!"
Sid felt a jolt of pressure hit him, the kind only an angry mother could deliver. He didn't even understand this place or this timeline, but the force of her shouting pushed him into motion before he could think.
