Lucian paced back and forward. The night was nearly over and Amelia was no where in sight. He had wanted to share dinner with her but no one knew where she was. It was as if she had disappeared. At first he was fine, she was never punctual and loved to waunder in the woods. When dawn was nearing he sent some men into the woods to check the surrounding areas. Raze had recovered and insisted on being apart of the search.
Raze had found Maun and Vex, covered in blood. When they explained what they were doing, Raze sensed deception. Lucian called all the men back and into the main hall. "Has anyone seen my daughter?" Lucian saying worrying. There was a long pause. Tension filled the air.
One lycan finally spokek up,"I saw her walk off into the woods."
"When?" Lucian asks,"and in what direction? Did she say anything to you or did you hear her say anything?"
"She was with..." he says pausing looking around the room.
"Lucian," Maun interrupted,"may we speak to you in private."
Lucian dismisses everyone. "I expect you know where she is..." he says pursing his lips.
They were quiet at first. "It was her idea," Vex blurts out.
"What?" Maun says in shock.
"Amelia asked us to help her, we told her it was dangerous," Vex shouts.
Lucian's heart beat faster in mild panic,"Where is she?"
"Viktor's castle," Vex replied.
It was as if someone had punched Lucian in the stomach. The air was knocked out of him. He never imagined that she would go there. Why would she go there?
"You let her go to Viktor's castle!" Lucian shouts his anger pouring out.
"We obeyed her wishes," Vex says.
"Why would she do that!!!" Lucian reaches out and grabs Vex by the throat,"Why would you let her go!!"
"Lucian!" Raze says rushing forward.
Vex gasped,"She is just trying to help you..."
"HOW!" Lucian says tightening his grip, his fangs extending and his eyes darkening.
"By poisoning him with her blood," he says.
Lucian dropped him instantly. His Amelia- in the clutches of that monster. His anger burst into full flames. He lunged at Vex, but Raze was ready. Lucian was stronger than him so Raze had to use everything he had. "If anything happened to her, I'll kill you!" Lucian shouts.
"Get out of here," Raze commands stuggling.
"I'll kill you both!!" Lucian screams.
"Lucian calm down," Raze yells releasing Lucian.
"Send everyone out. We have to find her. We will search all day if we have to! Maybe she didn't make it to the castle," Lucian yells storming toward the door.
"Lucian," Raze says,"I want to find her just as much as you..."
Lucian sighs,"If anything happened to her...I don't know what I'll do. Viktor took one love from me..."
"Don't think like that," Raze says,"Even if we have to raid the castle...we will get Amelia back. She is too brave to...she is alive...I know it."
Lucian couldn't smile. All he could do was hope that if she had indeed made it to the castle that she was still alive.
