Megan acorn pov
I could hear a sound. But what could it be? It was the middle of the night... I think. "Elias... goes to sleep..." I said groggily. I sat up and looked at the clock. 4 in the morning. I looked over next to me in the bed where Elias should have been. There was a note.
Meg,
Got an emergency call, had 2 go 2 work.
Love U!
-Elias
I groaned. Then I heard the sound again. I had completely forgotten about that. I looked around the room. Nothing was there. I shrugged and went back to sleep. "Hello, Meg." I sat up. I screamed. It was him! "You? What are you doing here?" he took a step closer to me. "You'll find out..."
Meanwhile in the dragon kingdom
Scourge the hedgehog pov
"Scourge wake up." I could hear Fiona's voice, calling to me. I slowly opened my eyes. Then I screamed. Fiona's face was right up to mine, the first thing I had seen were her blue eyes. "Fiona! Don't scare me like that!" I looked around. We seemed to be in a cave almost. It was damp and completely made of stone, and very, very dark. But then I saw bars blocking our way out, and realized this was where they keep prisoners.
I looked over to lightning, and sighed in relief. He was still asleep. I was honestly somewhat thankful for that. He was going to be so mad when he woke up, and probably punch me in the face and say 'I told you so'. It looked like me and Fiona was the only ones up. "Where are we?" I asked. "The mountains it seems." Just then, we heard footsteps. Fiona slid back a bit, pressing herself to the wall. I was trying to contain myself from doing the same.
Then, in front of us, on the others side of the bars keeping us from freedom, stood a young girl, about 13 or 14. And the two ninja's that we had run into. The girl ordered the two to open the entrance and let her in. Once the ninja's closed our exit behind her, she sat in front of me. "So you're the idiot that attempted to enter raiju land." I stared at her for a second; it was hard to take her seriously. "You're not a lynx." I finally said, "What are you doing here?" she smiled sweetly. "I'm the bride of conquering storms younger sister." Then she corrected herself, "younger adopted sister."
I laughed nervously, "Yeah that makes more sense." She didn't respond right away, then she said, "you want to get out of here, right?" I nodded. She stood up, "our ninja's have been going missing." She explained. I raised an eyebrow. "That's... nice..." then when I saw the look on her face, i quickly corrected myself, "I mean bad! Very, very bad!" I then continued, "So what does this have to do with us getting out?" she looked over to Fiona, I don't know why, because Fiona had nothing to do with the next thing she said. "If you help us find then, you're free to go." I, stood up, just so didn't have to look up to her, and gave her a look. Something didn't seem right about this. "Okay... if we agree to this, how do we know where to start?" she pulled a piece of paper out from her pocket. "We found this the last time someone went missing." She explained. "It leaves clues on how to find them." She said.
She looked at Fiona again, then spook to me, "I can tell you don't trust us." She said. "When you're all awake, you guys can talk about this. I'll talk to my sister about it when she returns from the trip she had to go on. So we'll be back in about... 4 days." My mouth hung open, "4 days! We can't wait for days!" I yelled. She then suddenly pulled out the scariest looking dagger I have ever seen. "They say it's the good that die young." She said. Taking a step towards me, she raised the blade towards me, "but I can easily prove then wrong." I looked into her eyes and gasped. I saw the devil; I could see darkness and hate. She seemed to turn into a little demon. But it was weird, because, at the same time, she didn't change at all.
I took a step back. "4-4 days? Sounds g-g-good." I stammered. She lowered the dagger, and just like that, she was a sweet little girl again. "'kay! See you then!" she said, skipping off to the exit. She stopped for a second, 'by the way, my name is Ghost." She said. I shivered; the name seemed to fit insanely. Once she was gone, I collapsed on the ground. Fiona walked up t me, "sorry to say this babe, but you acted like a real wimp." I glared at her. Had she not seen the change? I looked at her hard, and then realized she hadn't. Now that I think about it, neither had those two ninjas. "... You could've taken her you know, and then we would have been out of here by now." Fiona continued. I shook my head in disagreement. "What do you mean?" Fiona asked. But I didn't answer. There was something strange about that girl.
In new mobotropolis
Elias acorn pov
I returned home at around midnight. When i got to the door to our part of the castle, it was opened a crack. I stared at it for a while, and then shrugged. Maybe Meg had just opened it to let in some air. I walked in. "Meg! I'm home!" I called. But there was no sign of her. All the lights were on, but she was nowhere to be seen. 'Meg?" I could hear Alexis crying. I walked into the baby's room and picked Alexis up. Where was Meg? Why hadn't she come for Alexis? I looked in our room, the bed still wasn't made. I searched the whole house, but she wasn't there. Where could she be at this hour?
I searched the house again. It was the second search that I found a note on our bed. I read it, and then I read it again, and again and again. This couldn't be real. There was no way... it wasn't possible...
Meg had been kidnapped.
Duh, duh duh! How was that? Who was that mysterious traveler and how does he know Meg? Why did he kidnap her? Is scourge going to help the raiju clan? And how is Lightning going to react when he sees his old love, Conquering Storm, again? Find out next time! And, please review! Please, please, please, please, please, please, please!
