Masquerade Chapter 7

Hey, at least I upload this fast.

Dawn was worried. What if Langkon wasn't dead that night? What if he is still alive? And what if he kidnapped May? The thought made her shudder. "Andrew, didn't you get report from any of the citizens around here?" She asked. "Geez, the soldiers left 5 minutes ago, have patience." Drew complained. "How can I be patient when my sister is gone? Sure, she's annoying, bossy, but she's still my sister!" "Okay, I got it, so stop screaming in my ear." Drew sighed. 'Does she really think I'm not worried about her?' He thought as he went back on forming his paper.

The door to the library opened and Paul came in. "Did you find anything?" Dawn asked, impatiently. "No, not really." He replied. Dawn growled at her beau. "Seriously! It took 2 hours to find out nothing?" Dawn yelled. "Hey, calmed down, miss. I'm trying to." Paul said as he backed up little bit. "I'm outta here. I'm gonna look for her by myself. And I'm sure where Langkon brought her to." Pau and Drew stared at her. "Then why didn't you say so?" Drew asked. "Because it just hit my head!" Dawn yelled as she slammed the door shut. Paul shrugged and followed her.

May bit her lips. 'I should have learned combat from Dawn.' She thought as she looked at the locked door. The only source of light in this room was a tiny window, which was located in a highest part of the wall. She growled. How did Langkon disguised himself as dead? She slammed the door with her fist few times. "Hello?" She called out. She slammed it once more. The door suddenly opened and tall man with blue hair entered. May tried to crawl out but he noticed it and slammed the door shut. "Hey!" May said. The man pulled her up and shoved her into bed. She kicked him but with her skirt covering her legs, weren't that effective. "LET GO OF ME!" She cried out as she struggled.

Dawn told Drew to collect his guards and Dawn hurried back to her mansion and collected her own guards. She met Drew and Paul at the edge of Ikan Forest. The forest where Dawn first met Paul and it was between Lake Hivans and Krusin Mansion. It was also the first place where May and Langkon met. She was worried if it was really him. 'Of course it's him!' She thought. She was sure that even though he was an evil, bad guy but he would never leave May. But why now? Why couldn't he appear 3 months ago when they left the mansion? 'Well, he always liked shocking things.' She thought. She stared at the dagger she was holding. 'This was also from him.' She remembered that she used to like him too. It was a beautiful dagger. Shiny blade with black handle. She sighed at the old memories but the evil have to be punished. She drew her dagger and entered the forest.

May struggled until the man gave up and left the room. She was glad that he didn't do anything to her. 'I wonder who he is.' She thought. He was certainly not Langkon, since he have red hair, not blue. But she knew that it was Langkon who kidnapped her, since she saw the wedding ring that Langkon used to propose her on the man's finger right before she was kidnapped. She curled on the bed and sobbed. She used to love him, but now she hates him. 'Why would he do this to me?' She thought. She cried until she fell asleep.

The soldiers divided into 3 led by Dawn, Paul, and Drew, started to look for something suspicious. Dawn went to South, Paul went to West and Drew searched East. There was no need to search in North since they looked for it while they came to the middle of the forest. The first place Dawn went to was the place where her sister first met that bastard. She saw nothing but a spring then went to the place where Langkon proposed May. Still nothing was found. She growled. "You five, go to the edge of the forest, the rest follow me." She ordered as 5 of her soldiers left and other 5 followed Dawn to the meadow area. 'May, please be safe.' Dawn pleaded in her mind.

Paul had divided the group and only 2 were with him. He was better off alone but it was just in case of emergency. He growled at the thought that May might have been murdered, but the way Dawn and Drew was talking about this 'Langkon' guy, he highly doubt the fact that she was in heaven now. He looked around and saw a place with different leave colors. 'Seriously? He call that a camouflage? I could do better than that!' He thought as he shushed the soldiers and patted the leaves. Sure enough, there was something wooden in there. He sent the soldiers to get Drew and Dawn then he opened the entrance which led to nowhere.

Dawn, enraged was still looking for a weird things when one of Paul's warriors came to her and told her that they found an entrance that might be the one they were looking for. 'The Trap? Why haven't I thought of that?' She thought as she told him to lead the way.

The news reached Drew as well. He gathered his soldiers and headed to the entrance, wishing that May was safe.

Paul lighted the lamp and walked along the trails of red sands that was on the floor. Soon he heard a footstep and he quickly turned the lamp off and quietly, yet quickly crawled as he was still following the red trail. He heard the footsteps fading as he stood up and lighted the lamp again and noticed that the rail ended at a door. He drew his sword and broke the door, which was really old and fell into pieces easily. "Paul?" He saw the brunette he was looking for. May stood up and hugged him tightly. "Please let go of me, Miss Maybel." Paul pleaded, as he wasn't comfortable with girls other than Dawn hugging him. "Oops. Sorry." May whispered as she quickly released him. "We need to get out of here as fast as we can." Paul whispered and May nodded but they confronted now May's least favorite man as they turned around. The man hissed and something hit Paul and he blacked out.

Another incredibly short and lame chapter. Please review!
