Chapter 2-the search for Jasmine
Leif sat down, his memory a blur. What was he supposed to do? Did he have to give someone something? No. Then with a painful feeling, as if an arrow had pierced his heart, he remembered. Jasmine. It was all coming back now. He was supposed to meet her at the fountain an hour ago. "You fool Leif, " He thought to himself as he ran towards the gardens "please jasmine, still be there" Leif was so angry at himself "why would she still be there, you let her down. For all you know she could be running back to the Forests of Silence right now." He ran into the gardens where jasmine had been sitting earlier. I'm too late. Oh, why didn't I remember? He searched everywhere around the gardens, But jasmine wasn't there. Then as he was just about to sit down, a shape blocked out the sun. Kree! The bird swooped down to land on Leif's shoulder. Filli crawled down to rest on Leif's arm. "So she hasn't fled to the forests of silence. There is no way she would leave Kree and Filli behind." He sighed in relief. But he was troubled "Then where was she?" by the look of Kree, he had been searching for her for quite a while. If a bird couldn't find her what chance did Leif have? Suddenly, Filli scurried off Leif's arm to investigate something he had seen. Leif hurried after him, to find him pulling something out of the ground. Leif dived to help him and slowly pulled out something silver and shiny. A dagger! But Leif recognised this dagger. It belonged to.. Jasmine. He had seen this blade so many times he would have bet his life, that it was hers. Leif inspected the dagger. Its tip was stained with blood. But it was not the blood of past foes. This blood was fresh. Someone had been stabbed with this blade in the last hour. But who?
