Chapter 10: Uh Oh, Problem

Tyson and Max tore down the coast line until they finally reached the harbor of Bay City.

"I'm so tired" Tyson said practically collapsing onto a crate.

"We can't just stop Tyson" Max panted. "I say we go to Deria's house and see her. Although she'll probably try to kill us for not seeing her in 4 weeks"

"Fine" Tyson groaned getting to his feet. "But we better cover up so no one looks at you funny and so I don't have to run into my sister"

"Good idea"

"Great, let's get to the department store!"

"Uh Tyson? We don't have any money"

"…oh yeah"

"But I still have my mom's gift cards!"

"I love you Maxie!"

"I know"

"Are you sure you know where you're going?" Rei asked Kai as they walked through the forest.

"Shut up" was the reply.

Rei sighed. "You know, you could have just contacted our fathers instead of going to them. Then we could be home now"

"Shut up"

Rei sighed. Kai was a major pain in that he didn't like to admit things like getting lost.

"We have to hurry" Rei said grabbing the map from Kai who glared at him. "I don't want to leave Max anymore than necessary"

"You think I want to leave Tyson!" Kai asked angrily.

"Yet you're the one who wanted to go see our fathers" Rei retaliated.

"You know why I need to see them" Kai said walking forward without glancing back.

Rei sighed again as he followed Kai until they reached a clearing where a small group of soldiers were waiting for them.

"Lord Kai, Lord Rei" said one of them, obviously the captain.

"Gane" Kai said nodding his head.

"Where are your mates?" Gane asked looking at the space behind Rei. "Your fathers were saying that you finally found them"

"We need to get everything ready before we bring them" Rei replied.

Gane nodded and turned to the soldiers.

"Five of you will go with me to the fort and protect the princes' mates. The rest of you will escort the princes to the Great Castle"

Rei and Kai nodded and started to walk towards a stone path with about 10 soldiers following them. The five who stayed behind walked into the forest with Gane.

Deria threw down her cell phone angrily.

'It's been 4 weeks! 4 WEEKS! And nothing! Nothing about what happened to Tyson or Max!' she thought angrily.

She sighed and jumped onto her bed and just lay there looking up at the ceiling in frustration.

What had happened to them? Why them? They hadn't done anything wrong. Unless you count the time Tyson and Max dropped a stink bomb in the air vents at school.

4 weeks ago, Tyson's sister, Tanya had reported to the police that Tyson and Max and two other their friends had attacked her for no reason. Later however, Deria revealed that Tanya had been abusing both boys as well as her. The proof of her scars, the tape recordings she would take but Tyson asked her not to use.

But it was all in vain. Tyson and Max had disappeared. All three of the families were in chaos. Tyson's father, brother, and grandfather had filed that Tanya be sent to a permanent mental health ward. She left a week later. Max's parents used their connections with a powerful friend named Mr. Dickinson to look for the boys, but it was no good.

"Tyson" Deria sobbed quietly thinking about her poor friends. "Max. I miss you both so much"

Just then the doorbell rang. As usual, Deria's mother answered it.

"Yes?" she asked the two boys who were wearing dark clothing and hats to hide their faces.

"We need to see Deria" one of them spoke. "Please"

Deria walked down the stairs to see who it was when she bumped into her mom.

"Deria dear, you have guests" her mom said in a shaky voice. "They're in the living room"

"I don't want to see anyone" Deria growled turning to go back up to her room.

But before she even got 2 steps up, her mom grabbed her hand. Deria, shocked turned to see her mom pleading with her eyes. But there was something else, excitement and sorrow.

"Please" she said.

"Fine" Deria said sighing.

She walked into the room. She was tackled by two figures.

"Deria!"

"Deria! We've missed you!"

Deria's eyes widened. "Tyson? Max?"

Gane and the five soldiers finally found of the fort and walked up to the giant wooden doors. Gane quickly banged on the door and waited. Nothing happened.

"Tyson? Max?" Gane shouted hopping they would respond. "I'm Gane, the captain of the royal guard. I wish to speak to you"

Still nothing. Gane slowly tried the door which practically flew open. He nodded the soldiers and they entered.

They checked every room. The only thing that said that people had been here was the fired was still going in the fireplace.

"Two of you return to the castle and tell the princes that their mates have disappeared. The rest of you will stay here just incase they come back. I will go to the nearbycity and see if they are there" Gane said sighing.

And with that they dispersed.
