Mikayla P.O.V

I looked at Boomer in complete bewilderment, "Which means, that Brady isn't in Chicago." I managed to stammer out.

Boomer shot up, "I knew he was in trouble! I felt it! He's hurt somewhere, he's lost or something-" Boomer looked at the head elder, "we need to do something."

The elder took in a deep breath, "There isn't much we can do, my King. Brady is-"

"My brother-" Boomer said taking steps closer to the elders as he spoke, "I and Boz's brother, who if returned would be your King as well-" Boomer spoke with so much venom in his voice, it kind of scared me. I've never heard him talk that way to anyone. Anyone, "we must find him."

Boz stood by Boomer's side, and snapped his fingers as if he figured something out, "Boom-" Boomer looked at Boz with a rose eyebrow, "Neither of us could do the archery, it didn't come naturally. Maybe Brady-"

"Is still on the island." Boomer finished, Boomer's head snapped toward the elder as if to ask him.

"It's possible my King, but don't you think if he were still on the island, he would have showed up?"

"Brady doesn't know fully how to fly a ballon-" I said walking by Boomer, "I remember him trying before and almost killing us all."

"Maybe he crashed-" Boz started.

Boomer cut him off, "If he crashed, that means he's either on part of the island he doesn't know, or he's injured somewhere, or-" Boomer stopped himself from continuing.

"You would have known if he was hurt-" I whispered to Boomer, "twin telepathy."

"I know-" Boomer said, "but I also know something bad has happened. We need to find him. Soon." He looked at the elders, "I don't care about anything else, until we find my brother. Understand?" The elder nodded. Boomer turned to the guards, "Search the island, up and down, left to right, tree by tree, track by track. You get any clues. Any. You tell me." The guards nodded and went in different directions grabbing weapons and leaving the castle.

My father looked at me, "Babygirl, I want you to stay here with the Kings-"

No. "But daddy-"

"No buts-" My dad said pointing a finger at me.

"No, Mason-" I looked at Boomer, "Brady will trust her the most, if he's confused he'll act out in anger and violence. If anyone can calm him it'll be Mikayla-" Boomer looked at me, "I give you orders to find my brother."

I smiled at him, "Thank you, my King." I ran out of the castle. I needed to go to Lanny again.

...

I ran into Lanny's house, he was sitting on his couch, "Lanny!" I screamed.

He screamed as well jumping up, I believe he was asleep, he turned around and looked at me, "Mikayla? You're still alive?" I nodded. Lanny stretched, then got up, "What's wrong?"

I sighed, "Brady-"

"Did he come back?"

"King Boomer believes he never even left."

"That's impossible-"

I cut him off, "I don't think it is, Boz nor Boomer have the archery skill that they are suppose to 'inherit'-" I shrugged, "that leads us to believe differently, especially since every single letter Boomer has sent to Brady, their aunt has sent back."

Lanny just starred at me, he was confused. Lanny. Confused? Wow, "T-that's... I want to say impossible, but I mean he could still be on the island, maybe lost, or maybe even transformed into something different like a cat or dog, or a zebra."

"Ya, I thought of that when I was running here."

Lanny nodded, "Why did you come here? To rant? I'm not that good of a listener."

I rolled my eyes, "I figured if anyone could help me, it'll be you."

He rolled his eyes, "I can't help you, the only one that can would be Boomer he'll know just by being near him. Maybe even Boz, Boz won't know why but he'll feel like he knows him. They are the only ones that can help you."

I nodded, "Thanks Lanny." I went to run out of the house.

"And Mikayla-" I looked at him, "don't tell anyone I helped you. It'll ruin my reputation."

I rolled my eyes, "Okay, bye Lanny."

...

I walked around the woods, looking for Brady. Hopefully we can find him, it's Boomer's top priority to find him.

I heard some rustling of the leaves, "Brady?" I whispered toward the woods.

"No-" My eyes widened, "I thought I told you not to find me."

I turned around and glared at the masked man in front of me, "Surprisingly I didn't come here for you-"

He cut me off, "You expect me to believe that? I'm all over Kinkow. Like I have done something incredibly wrong? No, I'm doing the job that your petty little guards cant do."

Well, thats offensive, "Excuse me?-" I crossed my arms, "My guards are doing their jobs very well, the escaped prisoners have been the least of our problems right now." I was pretty angry, he had absolutely no right to say that. King Boomer's main priority right now was to find King Brady.

"Oh I'm sorry-" Is he using sarcasm? "you guys just have a thousand guards who can actually search for the escaped prisoners, rather than letting them run around towns, steal stuff and kill people. But your job is hard enough, searching for a former King when he obviously isn't here!" Ya, that was defiantly sarcasm.

I rolled my eyes, he was driving me crazy, "You know what? I don't even care, go ahead and kill all those prisoners, once the guards find who they are looking for they're coming after you. You don't kill the prisoners, some didn't do stuff that was so bad, one stole a wallet, he didn't even take anything out of the wallet he just wanted to, I guess. He only had another year left, if you wouldn't have killed him he could be with his family here soon. But you took that away from them." He looked like he actually was thinking about it, ya feel bad you douche. I took steps closer to him, "And to think I thought that you were decent enough to just let go. Well, you're not, when this is over my guards will be coming after you. Have a nice life." I turned on my heel and walked away.

"No-" I wanted to pause and look at him but what if he were to have a arrow pointed to my face, again? I would rather not know, I felt a hand grab my forearm and turn me around. Of course it was him, "I don't think so."

"Let me go." I snapped, whatever else he said was becoming muffled, by the fact that I just wanted to get away.

"Hey!" Both me and... wasn't his name, Belen. Well we looked the direction of the sound. I saw someone swing from a vine and kick Belen off of me. It was... Boz, was he following me? Boz and Belen fought, and I mean they actually fought, when I saw a fight that involved one of the Kings the King would be just immensely stupid about it, but Boz was actually doing good. Belen tripped Boz, with a sweep Boz fell and Belen was gone.

I ran up to Boz and kneeled by him, "A-are you okay?"

Boz nodded, his lip was busted open and blood went down to his chin, but other than that injury; that could be fixed easily, he looked fine, "Ya, I'm okay-" He lifted up to his elbow looking at me, "are you okay?"

"Ya." I stood up and held out my hand, he took it and I lifted him up.

"Who was that?" Boz asked pointing to the direction that Belen went.

"The Masked Assassin." Boz's eyes got wide, "I was looking for Brady, but found him instead. Why are you here?"

"I was looking for Brady, Boomer was really upset and the elder said that I had stealth and went on instinct so I just sort of ran, and I ended up here-" He shrugged, "guess my instinct told me to go here because you were in trouble. I'm glad it did."

I sighed and nodded slowly, "I am to."

Boz took a deep breath and wrapped a protective arm around me, "Come on, let's go back to the castle before he comes back. I'm kind of worn out."

I giggled and we started to walk toward the castle. I liked the fact that Boz was here, he was like a weird older brother, and I felt safe with him, especially after seeing him fight Belen and actually do good in the fight, rather than screaming, throwing his arms around, screaming again, then running away.

...

I and Boz got to the castle, my dad looked at us and ran straight for us, "Mikayla!-" He pulled me away from Boz and hugged me, "babygirl, what happened? You've been gone for a while."

I sighed, "I ran into an issue, and King Boz helped me, then he walked me back to the castle."

"What was King Boz doing with you?"

I groaned, "Daddy-" He was so overprotective! I hated it!

Boz stepped forward, "Mason, I went to look for my brother and I followed my instinct, but I ended up seeing Mikayla being attacked so I stepped in. Apparently my instinct does not lead me to my brother but rather to danger."

My dad looked at Boz, "Thank you my King for protecting my daughter."

Boz smiled, "No problem, Mason. Oh, and um, you wont have to worry about me coming onto your daughter, she's more like a sister to me than anything." I looked at Boz with a rose eyebrow, "Not that you're not hot-" My dad looked at him with a rose eyebrow, "Oh, um, I... I'm going to shut up now." I giggled, Boz walked up to me and hit my arm lightly, "See you later Mikayla-" I smiled, Boz looked at my dad, "Mason." And he walked away.

My dad looked at me, "What happened? Tell me everything."

I sighed, "I was searching for King Brady and I ran into something else I was attacked and Boz came and saved me."

My dad nodded, "Okay-" He put his hands on my shoulders, "Are you okay to do nightshift?"

"Yes."

He kissed my forehead, "Good. If you need anything just call."

I nodded again, and walked up to my room to get ready for nightshift.
