"Karamu! I said give me that back!" Cats shouted at Karamu whist running
after him to try and get back her kitty band.
"Meow! Loooook, I'm a cat! Meow!" Karamu shouted out while pretending to be a cat.
"Karamu, if you just give Cats back her kitty band, I'll give you some cookies!" said Jadey as usual trying to calm down Karamu.
"Alright, alright, here you go Cats" said Karamu handing Cats back her kitty.
"THANK YOU!" Cats said holding her precious kitty band which she had received long ago from an old friend.
It had been a week since the adventurers left Prontera to journey to Payon, they had just reached the bridge that separated Payon Forest from the desert. As usual, Karamu annoyed Cats a lot, Virtua hardly said anything as he was stuck in a book which he had been given from the Head Cleric from the Church of Prontera. Jadey and Fool seemed to be teaching each other and showing each other their new spells.
By nightfall, everyone was tired and they all managed to reach Payon Forest.
"Hey, I know somewhere we can rest, as I used to come here a lot to see my cousin, Superfly" said Virtua pointing at a castle up to the north.
"I suppose we could stay there, but I've heard things about that castle, things like its haunted as it used to belong to the royal family that USED to rule Payon long ago" said Cats looking kind of scared.
"Nope, theres nothing there though, as me and Superfly used to go in there a lot when we was younger" Virtua replied back trying to calm down.
"Uh... Okay, I guess its ok..."
The adventurers walked to the castle. Cats didn't really want to go to the castle. Jadey was kind of afraid to as she didn't like the dark. Karamu was really looking forward to going to the castle as he loved spooky things and Virtua wasn't really worried about anything as he said he had been to the castle before. Fool was trying to calm down Cats as she was trying to slow down on purpose.
"Looks scary..." said Cats who was trying not to look inside the castle while Karamu opened the door.
The castle looked like someone had been there recently. Inside, it was all dark and gloomy. Only a dim light shined from a camp fire which was around what it looked like to be a camp fire.
Everyone walked in one by one, Jadey noticed something by the camp fire that she recognized. There were some goggles on the floor, Jadey knew that her younger brother had exactly the same pair. Jadey bend down and picked up the goggles checking if they had Mikau's name in and to her surprise they did!
"Mikau has been here..." whispered Jadey looking at the goggles.
"What did you say, Jadey?" replied Karamu looking curious.
"Uh, nothing!" said Jadey making a false happy face.
"C'mon guys we can rest here for the night!" suggested Fool "Theres already a camp fire here"
Everyone sat around the camp fire talking about what they were going to do next. Virtua noticed that Jadey was more quiet than usual.
"Jadey, what's wrong?" asked a concerned Virtua.
"Well, I found these goggles..."
"Yeh so?"
"Well, there Mikau's, you know my younger brother that went missing a few years ago. I'm sure he is here in this castle"
"But, according to evidence given it showed that he was murdered"
"Yeh, but I didn't believe that he was murdered..."
"Anyway, c'mon Jadey get an early night, I can see that you need some rest"
"Yeah, I suppose I better..."
After everyone was asleep, Jadey woke up in the middle of the night as she had nightmares. She decided to go and walk around the castle for some fresh air. As she was walking around the castle's corridors she heard footsteps coming closer and closer to her.
Jadey ran as fast as she could to hide in one of the bedrooms. She waited until the footsteps had gone pass the room. Then, she ran as fast as she could trying to remember the way back, she was really afraid then out of nowhere came a person.
The person called her but Jadey was scared she ran down the corridor, but as Jadey was a bit clumsy, she fell over and got her foot stuck in one of the floor boards.
"Not now! Why now! Of all the places I had to fall over! Come on! Come on!" Jadey whispered to herself whist trying to nudge her foot from the floor boards.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer until finally they were close to Jadey.
"Its okay, you don't have to run." A voice said from behind Jadey.
Jadey recognized that it was the voice of her brother Mikau.
"Mikau! Is that you?"
"I'm sorry to do this..." said the voice.
Jadey was then knocked out and then she found herself back by the camp fire. Jadey's eyes slowly opened she heard the castle door open. She sat up looking at the castle door all she saw was a figure that looked like an assassin with goggles on his head walk outside.
"Mikau..." Jadey whispered to herself as she gradually fell back to sleep.
The next morning, Jadey was the last to wake up. Everyone was already up waiting for Jadey.
"FINALLY! Your awake!!" shouted an impatient Cats.
"Eh, what the hell is the time?" Jadey asked looking confused.
"11AM!"
"Oh my god! I am SO sorry!"
Jadey then rushed up trying to make herself look ready.
"Jadey, we weren't in a rush. Anyway you looked cute sleeping like a baby!" Fool said while laughing.
Jadey blushed in embrassment, After, getting herself ready the adventurers walked outside and headed to Payon.
After, finally reaching Payon. It was nearly nightfall.
"Yo! Superfly!" Virtua shouted out at a young hunter who was creating some arrows.
"Virtua! Good to see ya!"
"SUPERFLY!!!" shouted Cats who went over to hug Superfly. "Long time no see!"
"Hey, the whole gangs with you!" Superfly said, looking over at Fool, Karamu and Jadey. "Anyway, I heard about what happened at Prontera."
"Yeah, it was really bad..." replied Jadey who looked down to the ground.
"Its ok, Jadey." Virtua said while going over to Jadey and trying to comfort her.
"Well, I suppose you will wanna know about Shadow" Superfly said pointing at a building. "We'll have to see the elder as he knows about Shadow" "Well, not right now. I NEED REST!" shouted Cats.
After that, Superfly showed everyone to the inn where they all have a good nights sleep...
(to be continued)
