Note: I know this chapter is horridly short, but I'll update soon.

Chapter 2

Jane and Gunther quickly arrived in Sir Theodore's office, with Jane smirking at him as he arrived later than she did. They both nodded to him politely.

"Tomorrow you two will be sent on an important mission. Intruders have been reported in the wood. You two, along with some of the knights, will go into the forest, track them down, and bring them to the King."

"Will Dra-" Jane began to ask.

Sir Theodore anticipated her question. "Dragon will not be coming. We need to sneak up on them and not fight them, but bring them to the King for questioning." Gunther sighed at the part about "not fighting." Sir Theodore glared at him and continued, "Be ready to leave in the morning. I want you dressed in armor and waiting at the gates with a horse before dawn." Sir Theodore beckoned for them to leave, so they did.


"Are you almost ready?" Kayla fearfully asked. She was still trembling in her seat.

"Almost…"

After her assignment was given, Jane headed off to her room to prepare her things for the next day's journey. When she was finished, Jane peered through her window and into the distance. Seeing that the sun was setting, she began to get ready for bed.

"Done," Dr. Allen announced as he stood up from his work. He motioned for Kayla to stand up as well.

"Will this hurt?" Kayla's voice was almost a whisper.

"No, it should not."

Kayla stood in a circle printed on the hard cement floor. Dr. Allen gently placed a device on her head that pulled at her soft hair. He pressed a button on the machine and everything went black.


Jane climbed into bed and pulled on her covers. Just as she was about to close her eyes, everything went black.
