I missed her by inches. She was gone. Feriatha took her. I collapsed on the ground, tears rolling down my face. My siblings came running, embracing me, telling me it would be okay. No. It wouldn't be okay. Anna was stolen, and we don't even know where she went. I couldn't even stop it.
And the girls, who knows what happened to-
I stopped crying. I stood abruptly, and raced upstairs. I threw open Anna's door. I looked, and saw the chair. I ran over, and tossed it aside. I threw it open, and my breath caught. I sobbed, as I saw Elsie holding Lorna, with Heidi, holding up her tiny fists, a mean expression on her face. They smiled when they saw me.
"Dad!" They cried in unison, climbing out of the hatch. Heidi raced into my arms, crying. Elsie came over, Lorna in arm. I cried with them, holding them all close.
"Dad, what's going on?" Heidi asked. I stared at her, and kissed her forehead.
"Did mommy explain?" I asked.
"Only that someone bad was here."She replied. I nodded.
"Yes. And, the bad person took mommy." I said. Elsie and Heidi had the same scared expression, even though Heidi had my darker hair, and tan skin, and Elsie the light hair and light skin.
"Is she okay?" Elsie asked.
I sighed. "I don't know," was all I could manage to say.
It didn't calm them, but they acted tough. "How can we help?" They asked.
I smiled. "Be yourselves, and take care of your sister." I said. They both looked to Lorna, and nodded. I kissed each of them on the forehead, and they followed me out of the room.
We made our way downstairs, and my siblings surrounded the girls. I grabbed Edmund by the arm. He looked to me, completely serious.
"I'm going to find her." I said.
"No. You don't even know where Feriatha took her." He protested.
"I know, Edmund. I know." I glanced to the girls. "Take care of my daughters." I said, he nodded, and I turned away.
A horse was waiting for me, and I mounted. My sword was hanging at my side. I looked back at the castle, and rode off, into the woods. I'd start there.
