"She must be here. I know it. The angle trajectory matches the angle that Selena must have been thrown at. This.....this....is the only.....only....possible landing place, then where......is she?" Aurora whispered to herself, taking deep breaths and trying to stem the steady flow of tears running down her cheeks. "Where? Why did they have to throw her? Not fair.....doesn't make sense.....can't find her....I can't lose her.....where is she? Can't find.....not good.....losing time....too much time....must find her."

Christa walked out to the courtyard, her eyes taking in the whole scenery. She noticed someone pacing around and crying. She walked towards Aurora. "Aurora? Are you okay?" she asked quietly.

"No...no, it.....it has to be here....maths cannot lie...but where....I don't know......not good" Aurora replied, shaking her head and taking shallow, short breaths after almost every word.

Christa bit her lip and approached Aurora. "Aurora, it's Christa. Are you okay?" she asked.

Aurora didn't even register the question, all she did was crumple onto the ground and begin o hyperventilate. "I want her back! Where is she?!" She yelled to no one in particular, behaving like a pampered little girl throwing a tantrum because that was how she felt at the moment. Lost, unsure, unhappy.

Christa sighed and went up to Aurora and shook her shoulders. "AURORA! GET A GRIP OF YOURSELF!"

Aurora's blank, unfocused eyes focused slightly to see Christa more clearly but her look didn't change. She still looked blank and her breathing was still not normal. "Uh...what?"

"You're having a nervous breakdown. Calm yourself down and tell me what's wrong." Christa said.

"I can't just calm down! I have to find her first! I have got to get her back!" Aurora shot back, her voice turning a pitch higher with rising panic.

"What do you need to find? Who is this?" she asked.

"Amber of course!" Aurora replied, getting up and dusting herself off distractedly, her eyes constantly moving around, searching for the elusive doll.

"Who's Amber?" Christa asked, biting her lip.

"She is the only thing I ever got from my parents." Aurora replied, fighting back tears and trying to control her spasmodic breathing, all the while frantically looking around, unaware and unconcerned by the scratches appearing on her skin as she searched in the bushes.

Christa nodded. "Okay, first off, how did you know that it would be here?" she asked.

"Because the angle trajectory and the average force calculation point to here. Obviously! Simple logic!" Aurora replied, her voice rising to match the rising panic she was feeling. She ignored the scratches and the blood that flowed from some of the cuts, focusing on only the task of finding her doll.

Christa noticed blood dripping down from Aurora's cuts. "Aurora, you're bleeding. We need to get you fixed up!" she said.

"No, I need to get her back!" Aurora corrected with a trace of exasperation with her usual panic. Her breathing was erratic and if she didn't calm down soon she could collapse.

"We can find her later but you're going to get hurt even more if we don't get you to the hospital." Christa said.

"Someone might take her. We need to find her now." Aurora insisted stubbornly, her vision blurring form the tears dripping on her cheeks.

"Trust me, no one will take her. Let's just head to the hospital to get you bandaged and we'll come back, okay?" Christa said calmly, pulling Aurora slightly.

"Promise?" Aurora asked innocently, her eyes appearing wider than usual due to the unshed tears clinging to her eyelashes.

Christa nodded. "Promise, now let's get you cleaned up or else you could get infection."

"Okay." Aurora replied back simply, the panic and hysteria in her voice was now being replaced by sadness. She was already beginning to adjust to the fact that she might never see Amber again.

"Don't worry, we'll find her." she said soothingly.

Aurora just shrugged as she got up, wiping her eyes and starting to rub most of the dirt off her arms.
