Chapter 6
The Cassadine Island
The supply ship is about to depart and head back to the mainland. Ned and Alexis have successfully made it off the boat and onto the grounds unseen. They are currently making their way to the main house through some dense forestry.
Alexis: "I don't think it was a good idea to trust him." She stops walking and turns to Ned. "What if he tells someone that we are here and we get caught and sent back to the mainland, and..."
Ned: (cutting her off) "Alexis stop rambling and breath!" She stops and looks up at Ned and takes a deep breath. He puts her hands on her shoulders. "Now he's not going to tell anyone that we're here because he's the one who got us here. And if he tells ANYONE that we are here then he will have his head on the chopping block with us."
Alexis: "Your right, I'm sorry. I'm just so worried and nervous about all this."
Ned: "I know."
They both smile at each other. Suddenly they both hear voices coming from the woods.
Alexis: (pulling Ned' arm) "Come on. We can't be seen."
She pulls Ned into a small cave that they had just passed.
The fit is tight but Ned and Alexis make it in. She is leaning back against the rock wall and Ned stands right in front of her with his hands on her arms. They both look up at each other expectantly. Ned's hands move up her arms till they are on her face. He leans in closer and they kiss. The kiss is slow and sweet, and Ned's hands move off her face and down her arms again till he is holding her closer. She instinctively puts her arms around his neck as the kiss grows more passionate. Ned breaks the kiss suddenly and looks out from the cave. There is a gun pressed to his temple and two guards watching them. The guards draw Ned and Alexis out of the cave with guns drawn.
One of the guards says something in Greek and pushes Ned and Alexis in the direction of the main house.
Ned (whispering to Alexis): "What did he say?"
Alexis: (whispering back): "That trespassing is illegal and that the master in the main house will deal with us."
Ned: "What master?"
Alexis: (completely confused) "I have no idea."
Mikkos' Study.
It is a very large and ornate room completely furnished in what looks to be relics from Imperial Russia. The only modern items in the room are the computer and the phone.
Mikkos: (screaming into the phone) "What do you mean you don't know where she is?" Pause. "She could not have just disappeared." Another pause. "Well find her immediately!" Mikkos slams the phone down. "If Helena is responsible for this she will pay!"
Just then there is a knock on the door.
Mikkos: "Enter."
One of the guards walks in and speaks to Mikkos is Greek.
Mikkos: (sitting down at his desk with his head in his hands) "They are probably young adventurers who wanted to see the forbidden island." He sighs. "Bring them in."
The guard opens the door and Ned and Alexis walk into the room. Mikkos looks up at them and jumps out of his seat.
Mikkos: "Natasha!"
Alexis: (confused/shocked/etc) "Mikkos?"
