Kidnapping Queen
Chapter One
Queen woke up in an uncomfortable position. She opened her eyes and was startled as she saw the ground moving. It took a couple of minutes for her to remember what had happened the night before. She mentally kicked herself when she saw how foolish she had been to not carry around her sword.
Queen wiggled around trying to get a good look at things. It didn't do her any good, for all she could see was the ground, and part of the horse that she was riding on. Giving up she laid still, the rhythmic movement of the horse lulling her to sleep.
=-=-=-=-=-
Queen opened her eyes, hoping what had happened recently had all been a bad dream. But obviously Fate was against her for she didn't recognize anything in the room. Looking around some more, Queen noted that the walls seemed to be like the walls in a cave. Maybe I am in a cave. Sounds like a place where Yuber would have a hideout. But I never really took Yuber as someone who kidnaps.
As if someone had been reading her thoughts, a door (that Queen didn't know was there) opened. Allowing a man with Brown hair and green eyes walk through. He wore expensive like clothes that left Queen wondering. Why would this man be in a cave, if he has that expensive of clothes? He must be on the run.
"Ah, so you are awake Queen." The man said in a voice that only the rich could afford. "I was wondering when I would be able to see your lovely eyes." Then again, thought Queen. Maybe he has mental problems.
Noting her blank expression he talked on, "Finally I can have you as my own. With no one to take you away from me. No one has ever caught me before, and they won't now. Especially with the lovely little hideout I have. I guess I should be thanking...Luc, I think his name is, for trying to destroy the true runes in this place. Now no one will think to come here first to look for me, or you."
He's on the run, and he has mental problems. That must be it. Finally deciding to open her mouth, Queen asked the first question that came to her head, "Why are we in a cave, and who are you?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't even tell you who I was. My name is Dameion." He ignored the first question. "But I must leave you now, for the doctor won't let me stay in here long, even if I am in charge." Dameion then turned around and went out of the door. Leaving Queen to her thoughts.
Okay. That was odd. First of all, he comes in and then starts to talk about crazy things. Then I figure out that he must be on the run, and he most likely has mental problems. Finally he only answered one of my questions and then he leaves! Shouldn't he know that I would have a lot of questions? Wouldn't he if he found himself in some unknown place?
Her thoughts were cut off again, as the door opened a second time.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Budehuc castle was in an uproar. Well, some of the inhabitants at least. People had been looking for Queen for a week now, and they couldn't find her anywhere in Zexen or in the Grasslands. The 12th unit had been the ones who had looked the most, since she was part of their team.
The 12th unit was sitting in the Tavern, solemnly drinking whatever was in their cups. (Or bottles for Aila's sake) Not being able to find Queen yet seemed to discourage some of the members of their team. But it seemed that even the disappearance of Queen didn't stop Ace from flirting with some of the woman in the Tavern (or at least what he thought was flirting).
After being rejected who knows how many times, Ace turned back to the rest of the 12th unit. "Come on! Lighten up! Queen'll turn up." Seeing that that didn't get any one to brighten up he decided to talk more, "Maybe she was taken to some random cave. Or maybe to the Ceremonial Site where we beat Luc."
Joker looked at Ace skeptically, "The Ceremonial Site? Why would anyone hide out there? All that is there is rubble. I don't think that there could be anywhere to hide." Ace just ignored Joker, and sat there, thinking about what might get everyone out of the dumps.
Finally coming to a conclusion he spoke up again, "Why don't we go to Harmonia to search for her?"
Geddoe shook his head, "We couldn't ask that much of the Budehuc residents. We've already taken so much time from them."
Ace just crossed his arms, "Not them, us! We can look for her! And I'm sure that there is something in Harmonia that can give us some clue as to where she is."
=-=-=-=-=-
Dameion sat in his chair that he had brought with him while running away from the Harmonian government. The chair had been only one thing out of many that he had brought with him. Too bad the Harmonians didn't know about my secret base in one of the old 'abandoned' mines. I'll just have to go back there once my personage is forgotten of. Good thing I have a lot of my servants still there. And the majority of my army.
He looked up when one of the servants came in, "What is it?" he demanded. And the servant bowed, moving out of the way of the door, allowing someone else to come in. Yuber was soon standing before Dameion, clearly waiting for something.
"What do you want?" Dameion snapped. Yuber just grinned evilly.
"I want the payment that you said you would give me if a kidnapped that woman."
"Fine. Here." Dameion then threw a small sack into Yuber's hands.
Yuber seemed to glow. "Great. Now I can go and buy those swords I've been wanting for a while now." he turned around and started out of the door, "then I'll have to find someone to test them on..." his voice trailed off as the door closed behind him.
Dameion sat there for a couple of minutes, and then he got up to go and visit 'his' Queen for the second time that day.
=-=-=-=-
Queen had positively hated the doctor's visit. Seemed that all he could do was ask questions about her past medical history. Like I would remember all that he was asking for. 'How many colds have I had in my life?' that's someone else's job to remember those things. Not mine.
It had been a couple hours since the doctor had left, and Queen was beyond bored. There's not even a book in here. They could have given me something. Once again her thoughts were stopped as the door opened, again.
Dameion walked in, "Queen, I wanted to talk to you..."
=-=-=-=-
Cecile was standing at her post waiting for the soldier that was supposed to take her place ten minutes ago. But she wasn't that angry, after all she loved to protect the castle and Thomas. It was just that today Thomas had wanted to see her, but she hadn't had any other time then after her shift.
She looked out at the sunset, wishing that she could share it with someone.
"Cecile..." she quickly looked up, but then frowned as she saw whom it was.
"You're late. You had better have a good explanation this time."
"Um..."
"Just forget it, but don't be late next time." Cecile reprimanded. Then she got up to go and see Thomas. I think I should make the soldiers practice harder. Maybe even give them a lecture. They shouldn't be late for such important matters.
She made it to his door, and she knocked and waited, wondering what he would want to see her for. After a couple of minutes the door opened showing a disheveled Thomas.
"Master Thomas? Are you okay?" Cecile asked worriedly. Thomas just grabbed her arm and pulled her into the room, closing the door behind her. They just stood there for a couple of minutes, until finally Thomas opened his mouth.
"Cecile, do you have any clue where Queen is? It's been torturing me to see the 12th unit so down." Cecile shook her head, and noticing the devastated look on his face she embraced him, hoping to comfort him.
Thomas took a big breath and spoke, "Cecile? Why don't you use Chain mail instead of Armor?" Seeing her confused look, her continued, "it would be lighter and easier to move in right?" it would also be easier to hug you...
"Do you really think I should, Master Thomas? I've been thinking about it for the last year but I wasn't exactly sure..." and at Thomas' nod of agreement she smiled, glad to have the decision making done for now.
Cecile walked towards the door, "Goodnight Master Thomas." Then she left to go and take a quick look at Dominic's shop and see if he had some extra Chain mail shirts.
=-=-=-=-=-=
He watched her fall from the blow. The pain showing on her face. He screamed out her name in hopes that she would answer, but it was most likely too late. "Queen!"
Geddoe woke up in a cold sweat. I had that dream again; the same dream I've been having every night since her disappearance. He sighed; it doesn't mean that it's going to happen does it?
Deciding that he wouldn't be able to get anymore sleep, Geddoe decided to go back down to the Tavern. After all, he still did hear the ruckus that the men (and women) were making in there.
He sat on one of the tables waiting for Anne to come around with some drinks. He ignored the other people in there. Anne finally came up to him.
"Can't sleep?" she asked as she placed a cup in front of him. At the shake of his head she left to go and give the other people their drinks.
Karana: okay, once again I'm sorry for the delay. But I've been busy. And if you want any couples in it, just tell me, cause we need some different perspectives for the story. So just tell me in the review (and yes Geddoe/Queen will still be in there.) hope you liked this chapter! REVIEW PLEASE!
