~Chapter 6~

The Abductor

Aria came with me willingly since after all I'm not a stranger. I fed her some lie about Niklas and him asking me to take care of her, so like any eight year old, she believed me. I brought her to my home and magically altered the interior to look like that of her home in the Southern Isles. It was a perfect recreation. Aria gave me no trouble and as she was in my home playing with toys and dolls, I would be gone for some time, so I conjured up a perfect human imitation that would suffice as her uncle. After I left my home, I conjured the portal to return to the Southern Isles. There I would see him and update him on my plans.

I found him shoveling through manure near the stables. A stipulation of his punishment was community service. I cloaked myself in invisibility before I approached him from behind slowly clutching his shoulders. He stopped shoveling subtly acknowledging my presence.

"Is that you?" He whispered.

"Who else would it be…" I replied.

"You had me worried you weren't coming back."

"I'm here now, aren't I?"

"How much longer?" He said resuming his shoveling as some guards were looking his way.

"Soon. I promise. The plan is perfect. Elsa and Anna are making their way to my home."

"Our home." He corrected.

"Once they find the portal, we can be rid of all of them and we can finally be together."

"Why not now? Just take me with you now." He urged.

"Not yet, love." I said. "Patience."

I pulled away slowly, but not before I grabbed his hand.

"Soon, my love."

Moments later, I conjured a portal returning to Creawood.
