"What? A man is following us? Why?"
Zann asked Darb. He was confused by Darb's sudden words. He looked at Perda and Gliss, who seemed confused too. Not knowing what to do, he turned back.
A tall, thin man was running fast toward him, Perda, Gliss, and Darb.
"Who is that guy?"
Zann whispered. His friends looked behind too, and noticed the man.
"I don't know. Let's zap."
Perda said anxiously. She took Zann's hand with his right hand, and reached for Gliss. But before that, Zann suggested.
"No, guys. Let's go to MY house. We'd better talk to Boz."
"Good idea."
Gliss mumbled, who seemed scared as the man got closer and closer. The four children run to Zann's house.
The man ran faster when he realized the kids were running toward Zann's home. Then, he had a better idea. The man stopped running and zapped out of sight.
"Boz! We have to-"
Zann flew opened his house's front door, looking for Boz. But soon, he knew his grandfather wasn't there.
"Boz?"
He called several more, but Boz didn't appear. The house was quiet.
"Where is Boz?"
Gliss asked, her voice was trembling. She grabbed Darb's arm tightly.
"It's okay, Gliss."
Darb assured her, and turned his attention back to Zann's empty house. And suddenly, he let out a loud gasp.
"Oh my! Zing! Where is Zing? He's missing too."
"This is weird. Maybe Boz went out."
Perda said, not looking sure about the situation.
"With Zing? No. Boz never goes outside with Zing."
Zann shook his head. He was feeling more and more uncomfortable. Boz didn't tell anything about his outing! At that moment, Zann had a great pain in his head and fell down to the floor. He closed his eyes tight. His head was dizzy and painful. It was Red share. A strong one. Zann saw Boz through the share.
Boz looked terrified. He was calling Zann's name.
"No! Boz!"
Zann's eyes popped open. Then he saw Perda, Gliss, and Darb kneeling beside him.
"Zann! Are you okay?"
Perda asked.
"Was it a red share? From Boz?"
Darb asked. Zann nodded. He started to explain.
"It was really vivid. He was calling my name. And Boz looked so..."
"So terrified, ey?"
A voice said behind them. The kids instantly looked behind, and there was the man!
"You!"
Zann shouted. He stood up so abruptly, that he almost fell down again. The man chuckled.
"Good evening, kids. Do you want to see Boz? I can show you if you want."
With that, he pointed his finger to the kids, not even creating friction.
"Immoblize!"
A large bolt of energy went directly at them.
"Everyone, let's zap!"
Zann quickly grabbed Perda and Darb. Gliss was still clinging to Darb.
"ZAP!"
Zann and Perda shouted.
