Chapter 4: Shopping for Halloween Costumes

I woke up early the next day, still startled by the events that had happened the day before. I wanted to do more research on it, but I couldn't find another book, at least not at six in the morning. I kept thinking and processing until my phone vibrated on my nightstand, so I turned on my lamp, closed my door, and checked my phone to see that Ike text me.

"Hey Marth ;)" he texted me as I wrote a reply.

"Hey! What are u doing up so early?"

"I couldn't sleep."

"Why not?"

"Something's been bugging me lately."

"Define something." I texted him, wondering what was wrong with my best friend.

"It's actually you."

"Me?" I asked, confused by his statement.

"It's you and the book Marth. It's starting to make me worry about you."

"What makes you say that?" I asked, somewhat angered by Ike's statement.

"What if you are the prince Marth?! Then what?! You'd go home and leave everything behind to find your kingdom? And what if you're not!? I don't want to see you heartbroken about the fact you don't know anything about your past!" I was shocked by what Ike was saying. Was he saying he didn't want me to find out about my past. I had some many questions about what he just asked.

"So, are you saying you don't want me to find out about my past?" I asked, a little hurt by what he said.

"Not at all. It's just... If you are the prince of Altea who's lost his memory and is slowly getting it back... I don't want you to leave me."

"Aiku... I don't know if this will make you feel better or worse but, you could be the mercenary/knight who protects the prince."

"That honestly makes me feel better, but only a little. But, I still don't want you to be heartbroken."

"But I have to do this!"

"Do you really, truly want to?"

"Yeah. I really do. This might be the one chance I find something about me, I have to take that chance!"

"Then I support you 100% of the way."

"Thanks Aiku. C u l8tr." I finished as I set my phone back on the nightstand, on it's charger, and went to my computer. I decided to go on the computer to see if I could finish the research. I got on and looked up Lost Prince of Altea but I got nothing special. "Okay, think Marth. If you were a researcher what would you type? How about, The story of the missing prince and knight during the war of Crimea and Altea." I thought aloud as I typed them on the keyboard. "This should have some good information." I scrolled through the images until I got something useful, and honestly, quite frightening. "This can't be... me and Aiku. But, they looked just like us, and it's a national, famous painting, so it's not made up. But, that's impossible. What if I really am the prince of Altea? I need to tell Aiku!" I said aloud, my thoughts all jumbled in my head as I walked over to my phone and texted Ike. "Aiku! I just found something!" I told him as I downloaded the picture on my phone, and the link just in case.

"What'd you find?" he asked me, relieved that he really was supporting me.

"It was a picture I found. It was unbelievable!"

"Okay... Let me c it." he texted me as I uploaded the picture and link to the phone and texted it to him.

"This is a picture I found of a famous picture in London. Here's the link and picture." I waited a few minutes for a response, guess Ike was probably looking at it.

"This is impossible. They both look just like us."

"I know. Can we really be the knight and prince?

"Maybe. But I think we might actually be. But enough of that. We need to go l8tr today. We'll talk l8tr."

"K, C u soon Aiku."

"Bye."

Later on that day, I met Link, Pit, Roy, and Ike in front of my house to get ready. I didn't live that far from a market that's selling Halloween costumes, so we decided to meet at my house. "So, are we ready?" I asked as I walked out of my house and locked the front door.

"Yeah." Ike, Link, Roy, and Pit said at the same time, cueing us to leave. So we started walking down the street, to the party store to look at their costumes. But little did we, or rather I say I know, we were being followed.

"It doesn't feel right to kidnapped a boy in broad daylight." the first solider said as they slowly crept behind the group of five.

"I told you the plan. We wait to get him alone, then we hit and run." the third solider replied as he kept a close eye on Marth.

"I just know the master wants this boy. It doesn't really matter how we get him as long as he's alive." the second soldier sighed as they waited a couple seconds before turning a corner. "Now, park in this alley and wait for him to come out. It may be a while, but we need to keep a look out."

"Right, as long as we get him."

"So, Link, since you have your costume, you can help Pit. And Aiku and I will help Roy."

"Alright, sounds good to me." Link replied as he and Pit walked off.

"So Roy, what are you really looking for?" Ike asked as we walked into the teen's section.

"Well... I kind of want a swordsmen costume, without a sword cause my dad already has those. But yeah."

"Okay so, there are lots of swordsmen costumes. Just...pick the one you like. I'll help you look." Ike said as he and Roy began looking trough the costumes. Me on the other hand, left to help Roy out elsewhere. Those costumes weren't as royal looking as the one that caught my eye earlier. Since that was the case, I went back to go get it. I grabbed the costume and came back with it behind my back.

"Find anything?" I asked as I moved the costume closer behind me.

"No. None of them are dukeish." Roy replied as he turned and sighed.

"Well, maybe I can help you with that."

"What do you mean?"

"Well...I found this, towards the front of the shop." I said as I held out a costume with a royal blue shirt, white pants, royal and powder blue gloves, royal blue and gold armor, a blue and gold headband, and a blue and orange cape.

"Marth! This is perfect. Now I need to find one for my father."

"I saw one earlier if you want to check it out." Ike said, joining the conversation.

"All right, let's go check it out." Roy said as he walked across the store.

Me and Ike had found the costumes for Roy and Mr. Eliwood, but there was still no sign of Pit and Link. "I'm going to get some food from the café across the street." I said as I notice my stomach was begging for food.

"All right, be safe Marth." Ike said as he walked me outside and watched me leave. "I'll stay and wait for Pit and Link. Then we'll meet you there."

"All right, he's alone. If we want to get him, let's get him now." the first solider said, tired of waiting for the young boy to come out.

"Right, but we need to make sure he doesn't make any noise. His friends are just on the other side of the street."

"Don't worry, I have a plan." the second solider said as he stepped off the break and let the car inch forward to show his plan.

"Fine, just don't crush the kid."

"Yeah. yeah. I know."

"Good, then get on with it."

I walked down to the café, unaware that I was being watched, and was about to be hit. So, I kept walking, looking out towards the street, but not the alley beside it. So I walked out into the street, then I saw a car in the alley coming straight for me. By now, it was to close for me to move, and before I could, I was hit, and everything went black.

That concludes chapter 4. Also, just a heads up future chapters. If something happens to Marth (since it is from his P.O.V.) it will go to Ike's P.O.V. Just so it won't stay as an unconscious character.

P.S. Tell me what you guys think. I would love to hear you're thoughts. Bye!
