Lucas and Lily searched every corner of the town, desperate to find Emily. As the sun began to set, they stumbled upon a cryptic message scrawled on a wall: "The darkness has her." The words seemed to leap out at them, filling their hearts with dread.
Lily's eyes widened in fear. "What does it mean?" she whispered, her voice trembling.
Lucas's face was set with determination. "We'll find out. We have to find Emily." He took Lily's hand, and they continued their search, the shadows seeming to grow longer and darker with every step.
The town was bathed in an eerie twilight, the buildings looming like specters. Lucas and Lily called out Emily's name, but only silence replied. The message on the wall seemed to mock them, its meaning unclear. As night fell, Lucas and Lily's hope began to fade. Would they find Emily before it was too late?
