Anya's thoughts drifted back to her family, and she wondered what they were doing. Were they searching for her? Did they know about the Moonflower?
Julian noticed her distant expression. "What's on your mind, Anya?"
Anya hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. "I was just thinking about my family. I miss them."
Julian's expression softened. "We'll find a way to get you back home, Anya. I promise."

Meanwhile, back at Anya's family home, her parents were discussing her disappearance. They seemed worried, but there was an undercurrent of secrecy.
Her mother spoke in hushed tones, "We need to find her before anyone else does. The Moonflower's power is too great to fall into the wrong hands."
Anya's father nodded in agreement. "I'll reach out to our contacts in the supernatural community. Maybe they can help us track her down."
As they spoke, Anya's family revealed hints of a deeper connection to the supernatural world. They seemed to be hiding secrets, and their concern for Anya's safety went beyond mere parental worry.
