The three-some soon arrive back at the castle to speak to Peach's family and friends
"PEACH!!!!" a scream erupted into the silence. Peach was sat in her wheelchair, and she almost jumped out of her skin. The large wooden door (the last thing she could remember seeing) burst open showing a woman in a long flowing wine coloured dress. She had dark rings under her eyes, and her face was tired. Her hair was bedraggled and her eyes were red from crying. She ran forward and flung herself at Peach. Peach's mysterious disappearance had caused Peach's mother to look more like her grandmother. Peach laughed tears pouring down her face. Peach's mother held onto Peach tightly, as if trying to protect her from harm. Toad was stood behind Daisy, watching Peach as if unsure that she was actually sat there. Eventually when her mother let go of her, Peach was wheeled away to her bedroom where she hoped she would stay for the rest of the day.
A couple of hours after Peach has arrived home.
Daisy burst into the room, causing Peach to jump half a mile into the air.
"Daisy, whatever is the matter" Peach asked staring at Daisy, shocked.
"You...need...to...leave...quickly...." Daisy gasped catching her breath
"Daisy, I have been away from this house far too long, I cannot leave now." Peach assured Daisy, feeling hurt that Daisy would even suggest such a thing
"I have no choice, there is someone on their way to get you. We think they are connected to the person who wanted you kidnapped in the first place." Silence followed this remark. Finally Peach broke the silence with a gasp of pain. She had tried to rush to her wheelchair, but fell over instantly. The fall had created such bang that Daisy jumped out of her skin. She ran over to a very pale Peach.
"Peach, you look atrocious." Daisy helped her to her feet and into the wheelchair. Peach felt terribly cold all of a sudden, and it wasn't because the door had fell open to show Toad and Toadette.
"Princess! It is dangerous for you to be here. There is someone coming after you. You must leave immediately" Toadette cried at the pale princess
"Where...where would I go?" Peach stuttered staring blankly at the faces of her peers
"Away," Toad answered pushing her quickly out the door. He turned towards Daisy "take her through the back and out to the hideout" Daisy nodded taking a firm grip on the wheelchair's handles.
"Daisy, will you tell me where we are going?" Peach demanded quietly, glancing out the window. Hundreds and thousands of koopas were heading towards the palace entrance
"Yes but not here, you are in grave danger" Daisy replied wheeling Peach down the staircase that headed straight for the back doors.
"I know I am in danger but why and who am I in danger from?" Peach replied searching Daisy's face for any clues to her questions. Daisy remained silent as she opened the door. Peach gasped and Daisy groaned...
