The auburn haired man run as fast as he could into the long hallway with only one thing on his mind 'WHERE IS HE!'. The only thing that he wanted right now is to find that sandy blond haired brat! which was the hardest task he'd ever had in his entire life. That brat can hide as if he never existed!
He run trough another hallway before slamming his hand to a door, it slams into the wall as the man opened it.
"Arthur!" the man screamed into the room. He waited for a few seconds before turned his body and ready to sprint out of the room when he heard the tiniest reply from within the room.
"Scott…" the boy said. The man from the door runs toward the direction which he thinks were where the boy was.
"Arthur? Where are you?" the man scanned his surrounding only to find nothing.
'damn! where the heck is that boy' he thinks.
"h-here…" the boy answered. The man kneeled down beside the bed before dipping his head under it.
"Thank god! I thought you were dead" the man sighed in relieved, he stretched his hand to reach the boy before pulled the boy out of the bed.
"Come Artie, you have to go" the man said, The boy could only nod. He really wished this was never happened to him.
"Remember what Mum said, never tell others who you really are! You'll be save that way".
They walked cautiously towards the hallway before turning to another hallway and run down trough the stairs.
"Take this with you, it'll take you toward safety. Don't lose it!" the man handed little Arthur a blue pendant, It dimly glowed in his small hand.
"Will you come with me brother?" The small boy asked.
The man sigh for the second time that night before stopping on his track and turn towards the boy before kneeling in front of him.
"Listen carefully brother, Mum and Dad were dead now. The king wanted this family dead! He thinks we killed his wife with magic, that's why you have to run. You were the only one left with the power of this family" the man said carefully.
"I had to stay here and pretend to be you. I know I can't do magic, but they'll never know. Please brother for the sake of this family name you have to run, one day you will make this all right again. Make Mum and Dad proud will you…" the man then hug the boy before pressed their forehead together.
"I love you even though I never showed it to you. Please brother take care of yourself, don't make all of our sacrifices go waste" he kissed the boy forehead before went back to his feet and once again walked toward one of the wall before said some word which Arthur doesn't understand, yet.
"come" the man reached for the younger's hand.
"here, take this with you. Use it well and don't showed it to anyone!" he then handed him a small book which Arthur took it and put it inside his robe.
"now walk trough this hall and never look back! No matter what you heard don't ever return!" the man pushed Arthur inside the secret hall before closing the entrance.
"Wa-wait brother!" tears started to gather from the corner of boy's eyes. Before he know it, the wall had been shut closed. He blinked his eyes and whipped the tears which had flowing to his cheeks before started to make his way towards the exit.
A minute passed before he heard his brother screamed trough the hall, his tears returned but he didn't slowed down. He kept his promise to his brother and never looked back. He started to run as fast as his little feet could do.
Moments later, after he exited the house and into the forest, he saw a cast of flaming red and orange glowing from behind him. He knew that his home had been burned down. He keeps on running until his lunge felt like it was burned then he stops running. It has been hours after he left the house, but he knows he has to once again run into the darkness of the forest for it was his only hope of escaping from the king's knight. He knew the king doesn't know about the fourth child of the Kirkland, though he knew about it he still take precaution and use magic to hide him until sun rise.
For now, he need to rest. Slowly his eyelids closed and hide the emerald orbs from sight. The small boy slept soundlessly under a tree with a spell to hide him from the world.
