Sakura G's brother: Okay. ::sweat drop rolls down his head:: _________________________________________________________ Last Time.
'Cassie isn't the bad guy. This 'Master Illo' is. She's controlling her. And Cassie was almost able to say her whole name. She's a strong witch. Stronger than I thought. But she's right. I wouldn't shoot her; couldn't shoot her. And now my best friend hates me and we have an evil sorceress on the loose. Oh what am I going to do?!" And Maylo wrapped her arms around her knees, and for the second time since she was little, cried. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______
Chapter 8
Kidnapped
Haku awoke to the bright sun in his eyes and birds chirping outside his window. He slowly got up and got dressed, then headed to Baby's office. He had to talk to Baby about Chihiro, Maylo, and Cassie. Chihiro needed some help, they had to find Cassie, and now Maylo was missing too. One of the workers said they saw her run out into the woods but no one had seen her since. Haku could tell Chihiro was worried when she heard of the news last night but she tried not to care.
"Their friends, their supposed to worry about each other," Lin had told him but he wasn't so sure.
When he reached the top floor, he quickly knocked on the door. Baby, in a flash of movement, opened the door and pulled him in.
"Haku I think we've got a problem," he said as he threw Haku into a chair.
After getting seated and composing himself, Haku asked, "What do you mean Baby?"
"Sen's missing."
"What?! She's missing?!"
"All three of them are. Cassie was last seen running into the forest after Sen broke you're spell, Maylo was last seen, as you know, running into the woods in the middle of the night. Do you know where Sen could be?"
"I have no idea. Wait, no she probably went to look for Maylo. She was really worried about her."
"Yes but, now here's where I'm stuck, did you know that last night when Maylo was last seen she had her bow and arrows with her? And the only belonging of Sen's that is missing is a small pocket knife?"
"No I didn't know that. What about Cassie? Did she have any personal belongings disappear too?"
"No but Lin thought of this and we want to know your input, if Maylo was right about Cassie, if Cassie is a witch, she wouldn't need a weapon because she would have her spells. Plus, with her magic, she could easily have kidnapped Sen or Maylo or even both of them."
"But why would she do that?"
"Because Sen stole you from her and Maylo hated her. Plain and simple. She could have easily gotten mad at either of them too. Lin said she had a bad temper and was willing to hurt someone if they didn't do what she wanted."
"Then let's hope, if that is the case, that Chihiro and Maylo do EXACTLY as she says."
Maylo woke up in the forest around the same time Haku was in the bath house. She had fallen asleep crying last night and was now curled up against a stump of an old tree. She stood up and stretched, her muscles being cramped from sleeping on the forest floor. She shook her head and ran her hands through her (for once) unbraided hair. She pulled a long piece of cloth out of a pouch on her hip and tied a low (at the end of her hair) ponytail with it. She took some tape from the same pouch and wrapped it around her leg; ankles to her knees. And then did the same thing on her arms; wrists to her elbows. When she was finished, she picked up her bow and pulled the arrow out of the tree. She hesitated. Twirling the arrow between her fingers, her mind wandered back to the previous night.
'Cassie had said she had a job. But what was it?' thought Maylo. A horrible thought suddenly struck her. Her breathing quickened as she turned and raced back towards the bath house.
'Please. please. let me be wrong.'
"So what you're saying Baby, is that Cassie, using her powers, kidnapped Chihiro and Maylo and took them away?" asked Haku as he, Lin, and Baby all sat around a roaring fire.
"It makes sense. Cassie hates Maylo because she's been mean to her and she hates Sen of course because she took you away from her," explained Lin.
"And if she is a witch she could easily have gotten them out of here without us noticing," added baby.
"Yes it makes does make sense. But one thing, what if Cassie isn't a witch. I mean, I trust Maylo but what if she's well. wrong?"
"Then.." stammered Baby.
"Then we'll have to come up with some other solution but right now the most probable is Maylo's," confirmed Lin.
"Well I'm glad someone believes me," came Maylo's voice. They all turned towards the door to see Maylo, hair actually down for once and her arms and legs wrapped in tape. They all jumped up at the sight of her.
"Maylo! Where have you been?" Lin cried as she hugged Maylo.
"That doesn't matter-"
"Yes it does matter! For the past five hours, you, Cassie, and Sen have been missing!"
"Chihiro and Cassie are missing!"
"Yes, and you have been missing too!"
"Forget about me! What do you mean Chihiro and Cassie are missing?!"
"Calm down Maylo. Now take a seat," after Baby stood up and seated Maylo, he continued, "Now, you know Cassie has been missing since the night of Haku's um. remembrance. Last night, you were seen with your bow and arrows running into the woods. We sent a small search party but you couldn't be found. Then, this morning Sen was reported missing. No one has seen her since last night."
"Was anything taken?"
"The only thing missing was Sen, the pajamas she had been wearing, and a pocket knife I had given her," answered Baby.
"When did you give her the pocket knife and how do you know it's missing?"
"I gave it to her last night after we couldn't find you. She was so worried when the party came back with nothing. We know it's missing because we cannot find it at all. Either she had it when she left or someone took it."
"I. I think I know who took it," Maylo said, her head down and her eyes wide.
"Last night, I had been in my room when I heard this screaming. I jumped up, grabbed my bow and arrows, and followed the sound. The sound lead into the woods so I followed. Inside I found Cassie. She was, floating and wearing this white dress. She looked scarier than before. Then, it's like she woke up. She tried to tell me who was taking over her mind but whoever they are stopped her. Then she just disappeared."
"What does this have to do with Chihiro's knife?" asked Haku.
"When I was following the scream, I saw a figure jump onto a sphinx and fly off. I tried to shoot the figure with my arrow but the sphinx dodged it and when it did I saw the figure pull out a knife. It was a pocket knife. I didn't realize then what it was because right when they pulled it out I heard another scream and I ran forward to find Cassie."
"So. you think that figure is the one who took Sen?" asked Lin.
"No, I think that person is the one who in controlling Cassie. And then Cassie, who isn't acting like she normally would, kidnapped Chihiro under this person's orders."
"But who is that person? What does she have against Chihiro?" asked Haku.
"When Cassie almost got control back, she tried to tell me this person's name. She kept saying 'Master Ill' and 'Master Illo'."
"Master Ill and Master Illo? I've never heard of such crazy names for a sorceress," said Lin.
"Yes my dear but that's not her full name if I'm correct," said Baby, smiling. He stood up and walked over to a bookshelf and pulled down a old red book. He opened it and flipped through the yellowing pages. When he found what he was looking for, he sat back down with the group and read out loud, "Illousa. She is known as one of the most feared sorceress in all of the land. She has the power to make the dead dance, demons attack, and take over people's minds. She is famously known for riding on a large sphinx and using people close to her target's to do her dirty work. No one knows where to find this evil woman but it is known that she has a castle in the sky and this is the purpose of her sphinx which is usually golden during the day but invisible at night."
"So Illousa is the one who is controlling Cassie and is the one who kidnapped Chihiro." Maylo said in a small voice, "We can't help her though. How are we going to find Illousa's castle in the sky?"
"We aren't going to find her. We'll just wait for Illousa to come here."
"But what if she does something to Chihiro?!"
"She won't," Lin said smiling, "Don't worry. Sen isn't the one Illousa's after."
"What?" Maylo said, confused. She blinked, small tears in her eyes.
"Sen isn't the one Illousa's after. Why would a sorceress want a stupid human girl? Wouldn't she rather have, oh let's say, a dragon?"
To be continued.
Sakura G. FF,SMFA,&G
Sakura G: Well we learn a lot in that chapter!
Maylo: I like the ending. It's cool how Lin says it like that.
Illousa: Maylo I thought you weren't going to speak to Sakura anymore. ::smiles::
Maylo: ::glances at Sakura then Illousa:: Oh just shut up Illousa. Sakura made me look cool in this chapter! She's the best!
Sakura G: I know I am!
Cassie: What about me? What about me? Am I cool? Am I cool?
Maylo: ::looks disgusted:: Sakura, is this what the REAL Cassie is like?
Sakura G: ^_^;;;; Yep. she maybe 13 but I'm going to have her act like she's 9. She grew up with a witch. Okay maybe I'll figure some logical reason out. I'm just writing stuff off the top of my head. I have no idea where this is going!
Illousa: Well that's smart Sakura.
Sakura G: Ya I know. Thanks!
Illousa: I was being sarcastic.
Sakura G: I know. And I chose to ignore it. Well, now we're on page 6 (ya!) and the story actually ends on page 5 so I think we're good. I'm happy now. I'm getting out longer chapters and no one is yelling at me (Illousa: ::coughs: yet).
Sakura G: I heard that! Anyway, on to chapter 9! Woo-Hoo!
***If you have any questions, comments, or flames (but none of you should give me any of those!), please feel free to email me at: sailor_ivy_girl@mail.com or post up a review. Tanks! And if you would like to get any existing chapter edited, just email me!***
P.S. Merry Christmas (or whatever other holidays there are)!
