Livy: *nervously peeks out from behind the corner* Uh, hey guys. ^^; Wow it's been awhile huh? Hehe...Yeah...I am so, so SO sorry that my smurf stories have basically been neglected! I'm still a part of the smurf fandom I'm just...not as passionate about it as I was before I guess. But never fear! My stories WILL BE FINISHED! I still want to write them an I will! It's just hard finding the time. But hey this is updated :D
Anyway, Jo is currently being chased by Dame Barbra right now-
Dame Barbra: *covered in tar and feathers* I'LL GET YOU YOU LITTLE DEMON!
Jo: *runs away from her, laughing madly*
Livy: -so I'll do the disclaimer myself. Johan and Peewit belong to Peyo, Jo and Den belong to CartoonCaster21 and Gearehart and myself belong to flowerpower71. Enjoy~
*Back at the castle*
Johan walked around the castle looking around for his beloved whom he had not seen since their spat this morning.
"Livy?...Livy? ...M'lady where are you?" the squire called. He eventually ran into Jo and Peewit. "Have either of you seen Livy?"
"Not since she ran after you this morning, no." Jo answered.
"Why you ask?" Peewit asked.
Johan hesistated trying to figure out how to word his explanation. "We got in a sort of...tiff, this morning and she left. Now I can't find her anywhere."
"Did you check the library?"
"Yes."
"Her room?"
"Yes."
"The lab?"
"Yes."
"What about the stables?"
Johan opened his mouth to answer but realized that he hadn't checked there yet. "No, I haven't looked there."
"Come on." Jo said as she started for the stables. Upon arrival the three discovered Brownie gone.
The three stood in the stable's doorway for some time, unable to actually move their limbs. Livy was missing. Brownie was gone. Johan's on an emotional rollarcoaster. And their well-aware of the theives nearby. Not to mention the King is rather edgey with them.
"Wow..." Jo muttered, "Don't it seem like the universe hates us or something?"
"M'lady!" Johan snapped out of it, running over to where Brownie would have been. The other two horses and goat watched, neighing as their owners looked around the empty hay stall.
"When do you think she left?" Peewit asked.
"Well...we fought a little over two hours ago. I accept not long from then." Johan replied.
"So, anything could've happened already to her in those two hours." Jo sighed, speaking the truth they all wanted to pretend wasn't real.
Johan felt fear grip his insides. As it always did at the thought of something happening to Livy. He shook his head. He couldn't panic. Not now.
"A-Alright. Let's stay calm." he said moreso to himself than Peewit and Jo. "Brownie's gone to so she obviously went somewhere off castle grounds. But where?"
"The only place I can think of is either Homnibus, the Smurf village, or the town." Peewit said.
Johan went over to Bayard's stall and began to lead out the white and black spotted stallion. "Peewit, you and I shall search the village while Jo, you go to Master Homnibus' and see if Livy was there. Stop by the Smurf village on your way to see if any of them had seen her."
"Right." Jo nodded and went to get Skippy. Within moments, all three of them were saddled up and rode their animals through the courtyard and across the drawbridge where they then split up. The two boys heading straight while Jo took a left.
...
Gearhart paced within his tent, a hand on his chin and his mind a muddled mess. What could he do? He had to do something and fast! Den obviously knew about Johan. But how? How did he find out? And better yet still, what can he do about it?
One thing was certain though, no matter what it cost him, he HAD to keep his son safe...He had to.
...
Den had successfully managed to carry the girl's unconscious form in his arms as he hurried off, sneaking behind homes, despretly not wanting to be spotted. It took time, slipping away and staying as quiet as he could before making it into the safety of the forest. The leaves acting as a wall surrounding him. He casually walked, looking down so often at the girl and over his shoulder to make sure nobody saw him and were following.
"You better be worth my time, girl, or its bad news for you." Den said to Livy's sleeping body.
...
"I'm sorry Joannie, but I'm afraid that Olivia hasn't been here." Homnibus said shaking his head.
"Ah sugar honey iced tea!" Jo cursed, snapping her fingers. "Ya sure you haven't seen here?"
"I've been home all day. Your the only person I've seen all day." the wizard confirmed.
"Alright. Thanks anyway." Jo said as she went over and rode off on Skippy, heading to the town. Hopefully Johan and Peewit had found her.
...
No such luck. Upon arrival at the Market place, the two split up and searched high and low, asking anyone if they had seen their missing friend. All their replies were either one of two answers: No, that had not seen her or they had seen her but did not know where she went.
"Maybe she's back at the castle?" Peewit asked trying to be positive. "Maybe we just missed her."
"I don't know, Peewit." Johan sighed running a hand through his raven colored locks. They heard the sound of hooves clip-clopping against the pavement and saw Jo, riding up to them.
"Any luck?" she asked pulling Skippy to a stop.
"No." Peewit shook his head.
"She wasn't at the Smurfs or Honibus' either." Jo frowned. She looked at her ancestor, seeing him in deep thought. She swallowed and hesitantly asked, "Johan?"
"Yes Jo?" The squire asked.
Jo's eyes shifted around, she tightened her grip on the reins. She had been thinking this for awhile but was afraid to speak up before for fear that she might be wrong.
"You don't think...you don't think your dad could have anything to do with Livy's disappearance...do you?"
Johan's fists noticably clenched, "If he did...that would be the last straw...father or not...he will pay..." and with that, the seething squire gripped Bayard's reins tightly in his grasp. Jo and Peewit instantly shot after Johan as he rode for the woods. They didn't need to question, they knew the squire was off to confront - no - attack his own father if he dare has anything to do with the brunette's odd disappearance.
"Johan, please calm down!" Jo called from SS.
"What if your father is innocent?" Peewit wondered loudly.
"Then he will need to prove it to me!" Johan growled, snapping the reins to speed away from his friends, now in a breathless sprint towards the Snake Kings' campsite.
They hoped it was still their campsite anyways.
Livy: Hope you enjoyed! Talk to you lot later! Bye~!
