Seth and Bracken hesitated at the back door, it was easy to get to the door and the house seemed quiet, too quiet. Bracken tried the door, locked. He looked at Seth and shrugged his shoulders. Bracken drew his sword and took a breath, with a single kick the door fell down. He proceeded into the quiet house. There were no guards at the door, and Seth followed Bracken inside. They were inside of a room that looked like a study- it was filled with desks and loose papers. Bracken began sifting through all of the papers, looking for god knows what. Then a voice came from above them. "Hey, what are you doi-" Was all he could say before Bracken had unstrapped a knife from his boot and thrown it directly into the guard neck.

"Come on, Seth." Bracken said "There is nothing useful in here, and we are wasting our time to find Kendra." They hurried out of the room, Seth more reluctant than Bracken. He seemed to be racing through all of the rooms slicing down any guard before he could call for help. Seth had to admit, it was pretty hot. By the time they had gotten to the main chamber, Bracken was covered with sweat. It was a fairly large room, with two staircases on each side. "Let's try there." Bracken said, pointing to the double doors in the center.

"Don't think about it." Said a voice behind them. Bracken turned to see Ravogus standing in the center of the room. He was wearing his usual black robes and his mustache was trimmed nicely.

"Where are you keeping Kendra?!" Bracken snarled, keeping his sword close to his chest.

"The Fairykind? She was...taken care of." Ravogus slowly replied. He took a few steps closer to them. Ravogus positioned himself in front of Bracken, looking him straight in the eye. "She is mine now, you have no chance of getting her. It would be best for you to leave." Bracken met his eyes and took a step back, a small step. Enough room to swing his sword. Ravogus was fast though, and within seconds, their swords clashed.

Kendra sat in the cell. It was cold and dark, her hands were cuffed together. And of course, she couldn't stop thinking. Ever since Gavin had returned her brain was basically in knots. How is it possible to be in love with two people? Kendra thought. She knew why Bracken had been so harsh on Gavin. Gavin is Bracken's competition! She hoped they weren't fighting right now. This is the hardest decision of my lifetime! Kendra exaggerated. Why does everything have to be so complicated? I swear I can't take anymore drama. I wish Gavin never came back, maybe I wish he just hadn't left in the first place... I wish I was out of here so I could clear all of this up.
