"Keira!" Jak shouted. Daxter jumped and hit his head on the exceptionally
low ceiling.
"Hey buddy, since when could you speak?", Daxter said, rubbing his head.
Jak opened his mouth again but nothing came out.
"Just a one off time, hey Jak", Daxter said turning towards the window
again.
"The dream...", Jak whispered. "It was Gol and Maia. Gol and Maia kidnapped
her!"
A: N Hiya again everybody! Boy, do I hate exams! Anyway I have found the time to write the next chappie for you all!
Chapter 9: Recaptured
The "thump" was only too distinct. Keira could feel and hear the sound waves bounce along each castle wall. It echoed off each of the narrow stained glass windows making a slight ringing noise as it did. She had never noticed the stain glass windows before. To her they were a splash of colour against the grey and gloomy background. They reminded her of the ever so colourful Sandover Village, where she lived.
Keira wondered how long it had been since she had left Samos, Daxter and especially Jak. She stared into the misty sky. It was noticeably darker so she figured it was getting later in the evening. She closed her eyes and imagined her home once more. The trees swaying in the ocean breeze, the soft sand beneath her tender feet. It was all too good.
Keira's eyes shot open when she heard a "clank" and another "thump" coming from behind her. She turned around and crept slowly to the castle wall. She pressed her back to the brickwork and shivered as a wave of cold and fear spread up her spine. She leaned sideways and shot a glance round the other side of the wall. She looked up where the top of the wall was and watched as a small, three-sided hook was thrown in one of the gaps. She then moved back behind the wall as she saw a long rope drape down to her level. Her heart started to pound furiously against her chest. As curiosity took over her, she poked her had round the corner once more to see more ropes and hooks appear. Several black figures dropped swiftly and silently, down onto the ground. She suddenly realised that the "thump" earlier was another of these people and that they must be lurking around the castle grounds, looking for her.
She began to run. The footsteps were close behind her, she could hear them quite loudly now. She figured that they were guards and were out to recapture her. She frowned, as she thought of all the precious time she had wasted, escaping, earlier.
Keira ran and ran, her pace slowing as she became more tired. It didn't help being foggy either, as she couldn't see far in front of her. She kept worrying that she would trip or fall. Unfortunately, it was far worse than that. She had put her foot in thin air as she had reached the edge of the floating castle ground. She screamed as she slipped but somehow managed to break her fall by holding onto the ledge above her. Keira gave a short sigh of relief as she placed her other hand on the ledge and heaved herself onto it. She sat down, trying to recover herself and looked to see if she had hurt anything. Her hands were shaking all over from shock and the one she had caught herself was bleeding in the centre of her palm.
"I'm ok, I'm ok, I'm ok", she repeated, rather relieved. "I'M OK!", she shouted, beaming from cheek to cheek. She turned around to move herself away from the edge only to meet the eyes of one of the guards.
His expression was blank and his eyes were colourless with no shine, as though he was being hypnotised. His face was grey but had dark purple streaks across it. She watched, almost in a trance as the guard extended a hand on her shoulder, close to her neck. Her senses returned as she realised what was happening. Keira gave a sheepish grin and felt the grip on her shoulder tighten.
She watched her surroundings go completely black and her vision went in a spiral. She felt her body go weak and limp. Everything went black as she went unconscious.
The guard stood up, flung Keira over his shoulder and carried her inside the castle.
A: N Oh no! Poor Keira!
Please review soon! I'll write the next chappie after I have finished my exams! See ya then!!
