Happy snow day!!!! again!!!!! :) this chapter may have Duncan or Courtney's POV but it's mostly going to be about everyone else's reaction. I also updated my story seven and a half seas! So update! Please!

Disclaimer: me own nothing

Prince Derek's POV

I was so relieved that everything had gone off so well. My fiancé was waiting for our engagement and I would soon be ruler of my kingdom. Right now I was on my way back to my country to make the wedding preparations. Since Gregory had stayed behind, I was with my other body guard Wilbur.

"Just think Wilbur! In a few weeks I shall be crowned king of Arabia! With my beautiful queen at my side!" I exclaimed

"That is very good sir." he said blankly

Wilbur didn't seem like the kind of person who would really get excited about anything. He was obviously a body builder, because he was so large. He had no hair and always wore sunglasses. Best security money could buy, but he was also my friend. And I as his friend sensed something wrong.

'Wilbur? Is something wrong?" I asked

"Well......I was just wondering why you chose this women to be your bride so quickly." he replied

"She came to me in a childhood dream Wilbur! It must have been a calling to me, that when I saw her I would make her my bride." I said proudly.

He looked out the window of the limo we were in and sighed.

"With all respect your majesty, I used to read stories to my kids when they were young, and I remember reading once that dreams are like wishing on stars. They get you a started but the rest is up to you. Nothing is ever set in stone." he spoke.

This made me think for a moment. Had I jumped to conclusions to quickly....No! It couldn't be! She was so beautiful, and I saw her during my time of crisis.

"Well, she didn't show up at my door step; that's for sure. I went half way around the world to find her! That must have been my part right?" I asked. Wilbur simply shrugged his shoulders

Then my cell phone started to ring.

"Hello?" I asked. It was Gregory

"Hello sire, I have some dire news regarding your Fiancé." I said regrettably

"What is it?" I asked worried

"She's gone missing your majesty, no one can find her." he replied

"What?!, get police on the grounds immediately!" I commanded. Which Is weird because I usually don't yell, but I was panicking.

"Already done sire, they're searching right now." he stated

"Alright good, should I return?" I asked

"No sire, it may be too dangerous, if they took your fiancé they might come for you next. You need to go back and prepare for the wedding." he reasoned

"If they don't find Ms. Courtney there will not be a wedding!" I exclaimed

"Alright Prince Derek, but bring your body guards and tell your parents of the change in schedule." he sighed

"Okay, I'm coming back, I'll be there tomorrow." I said as I hung up

"What's wrong Sire?" Wilbur asked

I couldn't answer him at first. With the thought of my beautiful bride off with some pervert or murderer I lost control of my senses and punched the seat next to me to vent out some of my anger.

"I SHOULD HAVE STAYED!" I yelled at myself "Driver! Turn around! We have to go back!" I yelled up front

"Sire! What happened?" Wilbur asked with more urgency in his voice

"Someone took her! Someone took Ms. Courtney!" I half screamed

"Then we shouldn't go back! They could come for you next!" he said

"Please, you sound just like Gregory." I stated

"I whoever took her got through our defenses once, they may be able to do it again." he reasoned

"I have a sinking feeling that whoever took her was already on the inside." I said

"Who would do such a thing?" he asked

"When I was first introduced to Courtney there was another boy there, to whom stated that he had a previous relationship with Courtney. Maybe he just didn't want to let her go so he too her." I reasoned

"Her ex, sire?" Wilbur asked

"Yes." I said calling back Gregory

"Sire?" Gregory answered

"Gregory, I have a theory about Courtney's disappearance." I stated

"What is it sire?" he questioned.

"Do you remember that boy ....uh....Duncan, who stated to be Courtney's boyfriend?" I asked

"Yes sire." he agreed

"Well is he there? Because he might have gone off with Courtney." I said

"I will check to see if he is here, and ask his piers about an alibi." he said

"Good, thank you, I'll be there soon." then I hung up again.

I then stared out the window at the Canadian country side passing by. I couldn't blame him for wanting Courtney enough to kidnap her. She was beautiful. So I would leave the prosecuting to the judge and jury. I hoped with all my heart that she was okay. At this point, I don't know what I'd do without her. Maybe Duncan felt that way about her as well. I didn't want to think about tit too hard right now. I'd be there in the morning.

So? Drama much? Next chapter will be Duncan/Courtney. So stay tuned for that. Sorry the chapter was short, but I wanted to make the Duncan/Courtney scene longer so I'm waiting to get a fresh start on that.

READ AND REVIEW PLEASE! :)
