Chapter 3: The Kidnapping



"I'm going to kill that fucking bastard." Folken said full of anger and hatred. He crumpled the note and tossed it into the trash as he left the room. Naoko walked into the room after hearing some strange noises. She saw her poor friend standing there devastated.

"Mikaru, what's the matter?" she asked full of concern.

"He-Allen . . . he took her . . ." she managed to answer. She wiped away her tears again and cleared her throat. "I'm sorry Naoko, but I think our visit is being cut short. We'll be leaving as soon as we can." Mikaru said in a very mature tone that it had almost scared Naoko. She just smiled back at her friend and understood that she would have done the same thing if any of her children were taken away from her. Mikaru then began to pack their things and by early morning they were all ready to go. Mikaru said her good-byes and left in a flash of light.



"Lady Mikaru, Lord Folken, you're back earlier than we had expected." Christal said as she approached the couple in the courtyard. Folken said nothing and left. "Lady Mikaru, where is your daughter Selene?" she asked confused. Mikaru took in a deep breath and swallowed hard.

"He . . . Allen . . . he took her." her lips trembled as she spoke. Tears formed in her eyes and eventually made their way down her cheeks. Instinctively Mikaru hugged Christal and cried into her shoulder.

"There, there Lady, I'm sure we'll get her back." Christal said as she patted Mikaru on the back softly. Mikaru raised her head and backed away slightly. She wiped away her tears and tried her best to smile.

"Thank you Christal, thank you . . ." she said as she headed to her room.



Selene awoke in a large and well furnished room. She sat up and looked around. Huh? Where am I? She rubbed her eyes and let out a yawn. "Mommy? Daddy?" she asked to the empty room.

"Mommy and daddy aren't her little one." a males voice came from the other side of the room. Selene instantly turned to the source. She recognized the owner of the voice. He's that guy that mommy was taking to yesterday. "Your mommy and daddy didn't want you." he finished with a smirk. Selene frowned instantly at him.

"Lair!" she yelled at him. Allen laughed at the young child's behaviour.

"Oh but it's true."

"No!" Selene yelled at him. His laughter only continued.

"Well, I can tell you that you don't know your father. Everything you know about him is a lie. It's true, he did try to destroy all of Gaea twice. First it was with the Tsubasa no Kami and then with your own mother. You do remember the legend of the Tsubasa no Kami don't you?" Selene nodded her head hesitantly.

"But that was merely a legend, not reality." her voice was still strong and didn't show any signs of weakness. This is going to take longer than I thought, Allen sighed.
