A/N: Hey sorry I haven't updated in a while. Well here is the next chapter

"Nice one Thorne." Skabb shouted.

"Why are you blaming me? Its Golden boys fault." Thorne shouted pointing at Gildar

"It's nice to see you to." Gildar said.

The defenders were tied up to the tree; Ivar and co had left saying that they had other business to attend to. Kook was busy singing to himself, when he heard a rustling in the bushes.

"Guys, shush." Kook ordered.

The boys stopped shouting at each other and heard the rustling, it was just a squirrel.

"Great now we're paranoid." Thorne said angrily, "Why did we try to find you?"

"I don't know! To be honest Kook and I could have found our own way back." Gildar shouted over to him.

"Guys, just be quiet please." Skabb shouted above them, "We need to get out of here."

"Have you just figured that out?" Gildar asked, "I could have told you that ages ago."

Meanwhile not far from them:

Vane was trying to find Faetal and Medeva to tell them what he had just heard about Ivar and co. He was speed walking through the forest as he didn't believe in cardio. He didn't realise that Kook, Gildar, Thorne and Skabb were 10 minutes away from him tied up to trees as soon as he found out he left. Suddenly Vane heard footsteps and voices, to him it sounded like normal people to he tried to locate where they were coming from and find them. He turned left and the voices grew louder.

"Hey." He shouted loud enough for the people to hear, "Hey wait up dudes."

When Vane got to them he realised they weren't normal people but Ivar, Alwin and Banan.

"Oops, wrong people." Vane said walking backwards.

"Get him." Ivar ordered.

Alwin and Banan grabbed Vane by the arms and made him kneel down in front of him.

"Now, what are you doing in this forest?" He asked.

"Well you know how it is dude; you go out for a walk and the next thing you know you're in a forest." Vane explained.

"Alone?" Ivar asked suspiciously.

Vane was about to tell them about Faetal and Medeva but didn't as he didn't want them to get hurt as he was loyal to them.

"Yep just me." Vane replied.

Ivar looked at Vane for a few seconds.

"He can come with us." Ivar said.

Alwin and Banan picked him up and let go of him, Alwin stood in front of him while Banan stood behind him.

"Come on I have a family to visit." Ivar announced and with that they all left.

~Ooooo~

The defenders had stopped in their tracks to plan their route.

"Right." Knightriss boomed, "We have now lost 4 defenders in the space of a week. We need to find them."

The remaining defenders leaned in closely as they wanted to find their fellow team mates.

"Right, first things first, we stick together, no one separates." Knightriss ordered, "Secondly we somehow leave a trail so we know where we've been so therefore we know not to go down that path."

The defenders nodded in agreement.

"Okay, now we have to think like villains. If we were desperate sad and wanted revenge so badly, what would we do to out victim?" Knightriss asked.

"Umm, Knightriss." Shaiden said, "We are Villains and we normally put the victims in the dungeon."

"Right okay, well in this case we are absolute crazy people and want to blood so what do we do?" Knightriss asked.

"Well." Crocness said, "I would take them to an isolated area, like a forest and maybe kill them here."

"Okay so they have done one of those things." Knightriss concluded.

"But we haven't seen any bodies." Ballista told her.

"True, so Alwin hasn't killed Gildar yet." Knightriss figured.

"So if he hasn't killed him then he obviously wants him." Tinkor figured out.

"Great work Tinkor." Knightriss applauded, "But what would Alwin want Gildar for?"

"Maybe it's not Alwin who wants to kill Gildar, maybe it's someone else." Shaiden suggested.

"Okay let's go along with that idea but who would want to kill Gildar?" Knightriss asked.

The remaining defenders sat down in the forest and thought for a bit.

~Ooooo~

"Medeva wait." Faetal called slowly walking behind her friend.

Medeva stopped at turned round so Faetal could catch up.

"I still feel Guilty about leaving Vane behind." She said.

"Listen girl, he wanted to go, he had a choice to stay with us." Medeva told her.

"I know but it is a big forest." Faetal said looking around, "You don't know who is in here."

"I'm sure he will be fine although he might be a little hungry but I'm sure we'll hear his stomach if he gets really hungry." Medeva said.

The girls continued walking in the forest trying to find their way home.

"Let's hope we don't find any gingerbread houses." Faetal said remembering the story of Hansel and Gretel.

"Will you stop with the worrying?" Medeva asked, "So we're lost but what's the worst that can happen?"

"Did you not hear about my cousin who got stabbed?" Faetal replied back, "I'm sure he was thinking the same thing as you."

Medeva shook her head and carried on walking as if they knew where they were going.

"We must be close to the exit now." Medeva said running ahead and pulling Faetal with her.

~Ooooo~

Ivar was leading Vane out of the forest; he was still in-between Alwin and Banan who were keeping a close eye on him.

"Not long now." Ivar announced.

They left the forest, in a way Vane was glad he was out of the maze and on a road. Just up a head was a car. Ivar unlocked it; Alwin and Banan pushed Vane in and sat beside him still guarding him. Ivar got in and started the car. Vane had no idea how long they were driving, he was trying to remember the route out of the castle, and they pulled up beside a Mansion.

"Now act casual." Ivar ordered.

They walked up to the front door and Ivar knock. A man in his late 20s opened it.

"Ivar how are you Bro." Svan greeted.

"I'm good, is mum around?" He asked.

"Yeah, she's in the kitchen still worrying about Gildar." He told them.

"I'm sure he's fine." Ivar said and they entered the Mansion.

Ivar signalled for Vane to sit down. He, Alwin and Banan left the room. A few seconds later Svan entered.

"So are you a friend or Ivar's?" He asked.

"Not exactly." Vane said.

"What do you mean?" Svan asked suspiciously.

"Listen I know where Gildar is and I know who tried to kill him but you have to believe me. His life could depend on it."
