Ruby went into the attic.

A place she had never been before.

She dug through the various trunks that were up there.  Most of the things belonged to a man named Mint Songs, a man she had never heard of before.  Some of them were singed.  She continued to dig through the items.  

Ruby pulled out a picture.  She dusted the dust off and coughed a slight cough.  No one had looked at this photo in forever.  ”Wow…”  She mumbled to herself.  It was a photo of Azul and Rouge.  They were in Paris.  ”These are my parents?”  She looked at it closely.  Her eyes matched those of Rouge.

Ruby sat on her bottom and thought for a second.  She felt the ominous feeling that the attic gave her.  The death of her parents sank in, but she eventually began to think that she had no memory of them.  She didn’t remember her father’s sculptures or her mother’s warm embrace.

Eventually, through much thought and contemplation, she realized that Lilac had something to do with the disappearance of her parents and she would have to confront her.

And so she did.

And the look on Lilac’s face changed into something she had never seen before.
