Hi everyone! Here's the next chapter. I hope you all like the six-year-old knights. Anyways, let's get on with the story.
Go to the first chapter if you want to see the disclaimer.
A Different Life Chapter 4
Alfeegi woke up when he felt a strong, evil energy suddenly spread through the house. He quickly sprang out of bed and ran to the young water knight's room. 'Please don't let him be there! Please let Rune be all right,' he begged.
In Kai-Stern's house, a certain young fire knight woke the blue dragon officer up. Kai-Stern opened his eyes to see Rath jumping up and down on his bed. "Rath, what are you... what's wrong?" Kai-Stern asked seeing the worried expression on his face.
"We have to go over to that Mr. Alfeegi's place."
"Why? Did something happen to Alfeegi?" Kai-Stern asked, concern creeping into his voice.
Rath shook his head. "No, something's wrong with Rune."
Thatz sat blot upright when a wave of pain ran through his mind. He hopped out of bed and ran to the living room, but, before he could get to the front door, he heard Tetheus' voice from the kitchen. (Which was right next to the living room.)
"Thatz, come here," Tetheus demanded in a calm voice. Thatz walked quietly over to his guardian. "What are you doing out of bed?"
"I have to go see Rune!"
"And why do you have to go see Rune in the middle of the night?"
"Something happened to him and I have to go make sure he's alright!"
For the first time that night Tetheus looked down at the six year old earth knight. He nodded and reached for his car keys, which were on the kitchen table. "Let's go."
Thatz followed a little confused. It was almost as if Tetheus had been expecting that there would be trouble tonight.
Alfeegi flung the door to Rune's room open just in time to see Nadil disappear with the water knight held gently in his arms.
Alfeegi just stared at the spot where the demon had been. He bit his bottom lip and lowered his head into his hands.
He heard the front door bang open and he quickly ran to see whom it was. Kai-Stern stood in the front hall with Rath right behind him.
"Where's Rune?" Rath demanded when he caught site of Alfeegi.
Alfeegi looked away from the six year old, finding himself unable to look at the fire knight.
"Alfeegi, what happened?" Kai-Stern asked. Alfeegi looked up at him to see worry clear in his fellow officers eyes.
Before Alfeegi could answer, Tetheus and Thatz walked into the house as well. Thatz immediately ran over to Rath. "What happened to Rune?" Thatz whispered to Rath.
"I don't know. The Mr. Alfeegi guy was about to tell us when you came in," Rath whispered back.
"Wait a minute, how did you two know something happened to Rune?" Alfeegi asked, now completely confused.
"I would like to know that as well," Tetheus said calmly.
"Rune told us," both dragon knights said at the same time.
"He told you?" Kai-Stern asked, pointing at the two.
"Yep," Rath said, while Thatz nodded. "So now tell us what happened to Rune," Rath demanded, his personally doing a 180.
"Um, I think we should call Lykouleon so he knows what's going on as well," Alfeegi said.
"Right," Kai-Stern said as he walked over to the phone.
Once a very sleeping Lykouleon had arrived, the dragon officers told him what the dragon knights had said and then they all waited for Alfeegi to say what had happened to Rune. Rath and Thatz meanwhile, had fallen asleep.
"It was Nadil," Alfeegi whispered.
"What?!" Kai-Stern and Lykouleon asked at the same time.
"I woke up and felt Nadil's energy coming from Rune's room. When I got there Nadil just vanished and he took Rune with him."
"What are we going to do now? And also, how are we going to find Rune?" Kai- Stern asked leaning back in his chair.
"We can find him," Rath said from his position on the living room couch.
"You can?" Lykouleon asked, looking a little confused.
"Un huh," Rath said.
"Alright then. We'll start looking for him in the morning. There's really nothing we can do tonight."
Tetheus and Kai-Stern took Rath and Thatz upstairs to the guest room so the could sleep without having the other dragon members annoying them with their talking.
"How can they find Rune?" Alfeegi asked when the two came back down.
"I don't know," Lykouleon said and Kai-Stern just shrugged.
"I think I may know," Tetheus said.
"Well, care to share this theory with us?" Lykouleon asked.
"I think that since the knights were separated from us when they came here, their minds developed bonds with each other. So now, one of them can always sense where the other two are as well as their feelings," Tetheus explained.
"Surprisingly, I understood that," Kai-Stern said.
"Oh, I just remembered something!" Alfeegi said. The others looked at him. "We forgot about Ruwalk."
Well that chapter didn't have much of a point besides to say that Rune was kidnapped (which was already obvious) and to explain that the knights' minds' were all connected. Oh well, hope you enjoyed.
