"No joking around boys. This is serious", he said with a very concerned
look on his face. Jak and Daxter glanced at each other, both of them
looking worried.
"K, Keira is m, missing", Samos stuttered. Jak raced into Keira's bedroom
only to find she was, indeed, gone.
"Where is she?" asked Daxter anxiously.
"How am I supposed to know? Daxter", the Sage replied. "Jak go check for
her at Geyser Rock. If she is not there come back and tell me. Then the two
of you can search Sentinel Beach and The Forbidden Jungle. In the meantime
I will contact the other Sages to see if they have heard anything of her.
Oh, and Jak, take the furball with you!"
Daxter frowned at this comment but hopped straight onto Jak's shoulder and
the two of them jumped through the teleporter.
Here's another chappie for y'all! Thankyou Jonny, Mandy and Krin for reviewing. All of you are so cool! What happened to Keira, you ask? Well here's your chance to find out (...or sort of). Don't worry, it's nothing too bad. (Sorry anti-Keiras!!!) Anyway here's chapter five. R&R if you have the time. Enjoy!!! *Continues to talk to trees*
Chapter 5: Trapped
It had been several hours before Keira finally awoke. She had obviously been kidnapped or taken somewhere that she didn't recognise. "Where am I?" she said drowsily, her vision only just coming back into focus.
She found herself on a cold, stone floor in what looked like a prison cell. She sighed and sat down on a small bench beside her. She nervously glanced around; her eyes scanning the environment for some sort of exit. All she could see was a small ray of light piercing through the barred window opposite her. The walls surrounding her were stone. Black stone, of which some of the bricks had stained with age. In front of her was a tall metal gate, which was locked tightly. There was no way of her even trying to make an escape. The only sound was constant dripping coming from above her, forming a shallow puddle on the floor beneath her. She was absolutely parched at the time and, without thinking of any toxins that could lie in the water, threw herself to the floor, cupping her hands and scooping the water up. She placed the water to her mouth and felt it flow past her lips. The water tasted cold and lifeless, not like the water at home which was clean and refreshing. This wasn't satisfying enough, as she was also very hungry. She wondered if she would ever get out of this dungeon.
She stared up at the window. The bars did seem quite wide apart and maybe, if she tried, she could squeeze through. Before she even attempted this she decided to take a quick look outside, just to check if the place was safe and not heavily guarded. It looked useless. She turned back to look on the other side of the gate. There was a long narrow corridor and more prison cells. Only a torch, burning at the other end dimly lighted the passage. There was also a lurker, a regular one that looked half-asleep, guarding the place.
It was foggy for all she could see. There was a slight breeze whirling gently through the window and was causing some of the trees outside to sway. The trees weren't exactly welcoming in any way. They seemed more like dead shoots stuck in the ground than the lush green ones back in Sandover village. "Sandover village!" she said aloud. "What about Jak and Daxter? Father will be so worried." She began to wonder if she would ever see him again. Tears welled up inside of her and she let them out one by one. They trickled down her pale face. There were images of Jak and the others in her head. Thinking of them only made her feel worse. She longed to be back in her village, safe in Jak's arms. She only blushed at this. She didn't want to admit she had feelings for the blonde boy. It would only result in Daxter teasing her.
Thinking of the village was sad enough but somewhere inside her, she could feel determination building up. It seemed hopeless, but she put on a serious face and forced herself to try the window idea.
A: N Oh what could happen next? Will Keira ever get out? I'll try to update soon so you can find out. Anyway until then keep reviewing. You guys out there are so helpful! I'm going to bed now. Bye bye!
