I saw Alex tense beside me but the trees kept us hidden from the clearing. The figure suddenly
screamed, and I realized it was a women. She took her hood off, her fisted arm attacking the nearest
tree, and as the moon light caught her figure we saw the long red braid running down her back. Her
back was still turned to us. She bent down and hit the ground, flinging the ashes everywhere. I
watched as a man came to her side, his hair the same dark red. "Alura we will find the ring, do not
worry. We must resume trying to find the seekers, they are unnecessarily putting themselves in
danger, the children are useless." I saw how his fist tightened when he referred to us as the danger.
I saw the women rise, turning to the man, "You are a fool brother, the king will kill us if he found out
that one of his most valuable and lethal possessions have gone missing. The ring has the ability to
create portals and it's power too valuable to loss." The man now stood back his face turning a ugly
red, "Well Alura it was you who lost it and may be the King will kill you, but now is not the time to be
upset. Remember what the King has told us, that they do not know of the ring or its astounding
powers, they will probably discarded it, those fools. We must follow the seekers, that was our mission,
and we must warn them. If they have the ring surely we will know about it and they will probably
return it to us." The women seem to consider this, "you are right, we will threaten anyone to know of
the ring's location if we learn of its appearance. Now we must look for the seekers." Both the man and
the women were beautiful beyond anything I have ever seen, their pale ivory skin shining in the moon
light, yet it was truly a dark beauty, like the beauty of death. Her words seem to be clear and the man
followed her out of the woods. Alex looked at me, questioning me and I nodded and showed him my
hand with the ring that I found. Alex quickly pulled me along with him as we slowly and carefully
crossed the clearing to the other side of the woods. I can barely make out Alura's braid a long way off.
I heard Alex swearing under his breath for neither of us expected them to travel so fast. I saw the car
just as Alex stopped. The women and the man got into the car hidden well into the woods and
suddenly the car was moving. My heart was pounding, "Alex there must be a road leading out of the
woods we must follow them if we want to find Dan and Kat." Alex didn't answer for a minute and then
he nodded, "we have to run back." And we took off towards our own car, desperately hoping we
haven't lost the one hope we had of finding my friends. HOW IS THIS CHAPTER? PLEASE LEAVE YOUR
