Mikayla P.O.V
I woke up having a strange urge to find the man that I had saw last night. I sighed and got up, getting dressed in my pink flower shirt and my shorts, something I had realized after I had put on the outfit was that it was Brady's favorite outfit.
I sighed sadly, Brady with his goofy smile and stupid antics. I missed him, even his annoying flirting that never seemed to stop.
I grabbed my machete and put it in it's holder, I took a deep breath. I was going to find and question the man that I had saw last night. He killed someone. Then made me lie to my father.
I walked downstairs and into the thrown room, where Kind Boomer and Boz were sitting in their thrown's talking.
"Hey Mikayla!" I turned and looked at Boz who had said that.
I smiled at him, "King Boz-" I did a small nod toward him, "King Boomer-" I nodded toward him to, "I would stay and chat but I have to get down to business."
"What kind of business?" Boz said interested, Boomer didn't care he just stared off into blank space. Even though he was looking at me I could tell he wasn't listening to me, he had that far away gaze in his eyes, since everything that has happened Boomer was growing very distant, always not paying attention and starring off into blank space. But Boz seemed interested in what I was going to do, which wasn't good I wanted to find the man, question him and hopefully not get hurt in the process.
"Just looking around the woods to see if there is anyone lurking-"
"Mikayla!-" I turned to see my dad running toward me, "I heard you were going out into the woods, be careful. There is an assassin on the loose, even though there is no real evidence that he is a danger, but I don't want you getting hurt."
I nodded, "An assassin?"
"Yes, prisoners have been escaping and we have found about 3 bodies of 5 that have gone missing all with arrow shots-" My eyes widened. Arrow shots. "to the lethal organs or the head."
"Okay daddy I'll be careful."
"Good-" He kissed my forehead, "love you babygirl."
"Love you too daddy." He left.
"Do you want me to come with you?" I looked over at Kind Boz who had suggested that. That was very nice of him.
"No. While that is very nice, I think I'll be fine."
He nodded.
"Goodbye my Kings." I said and turned on my heel. I was going to go make a deal with the devil. Lanny. If anyone was going to be able to help me find the man, it was Lanny.
...
I ran into Lanny's house, "Lanny!-" Nothing, "Lanny!"
"What?!" I turned around to see Lanny standing there with an annoyed look on his face, "Oh, not you!-" I rose an eyebrow, "Oh, uh, I mean... Mikayla! What a surprise! What do you want?"
I rolled my eyes, "I need you to help me find someone."
"Who?"
"The assassin."
Lanny rose an eyebrow, then his eyes lit up, "You mean the one that has been killing people? Why on earth would you want to find him?" I shrugged, "Well it's not in my place to question you, although you will be walking into your death-" His eyes lit up again, "Okay! Let's see here!-" I rolled my eyes once more, he grabbed a map and laid it out on a long table, "Okay, so-" He grabbed some pins and pinned them on the map in random places, "these are where the bodies have been found-" I nodded, "The bodies when found hadn't been dead for more than 15 minutes, so he was smart about where he put them and wanted people to find them." I nodded, "15 minutes isn't that long, and the man travel's by arrow it's quite obvious. Arrow's can only go so fast, so that means-" He scooted his finger around the map slowly and stopped at one place, it was on the dark side, "he's somewhere in this area. Lot's of places to hide, lots of trees to shoot arrows from. Perfect hiding place."
I nodded, and wrote the coordinates down on my hand, "Thanks Lanny."
"No problem, even though you're walking into you're death trap. I hope the arrow doesn't go through an eye."
I rolled my eyes and walked out. Time to find the self proclaimed assassin.
I know! I know! Short chapter. But gotta have cliffhangers right?! Right.
Read and Review! :D
