A Plan and Discovery

Blake turned to Kelly, "Why did you do that?"

"Look we don't have time. He's going to bring her somewhere where it's an accident. But he didn't take you, so he's got to wait for you, or use someone else."

"So you're thinking that he's going to wait to kill her until Blake gets there?"

"Blake or someone else he can pin it on. So we need to get back to the kingdom now."

All three raced out of the castle and through the courtyard and began their race towards the dark veil.

Tori finally felt everything around her again. Lothor had one hand one her upper arm and pointed towards a field in front of them. "See all that wonderful fighting?"

"Fighting. Wonderful?"

"Of course. Just think I won't have to kill the weak ones," He looked at her and smiled, "saves me a lot of time."

"Time for what? Playing hide and seek?"

"Hey, that was your idea, remember?"

"Yeah, but you liked it." Tori was really getting irritated with this capture and damsel in distress bit. It was nice that they had come and rescued her and that Blake was alive, but at the same time she just wished none of this had ever happened. "So what are we doing here?"

"Don't worry I'm sure you'll figure it out." After five minutes some horses came into view. Lothor pointed at them, "Look your almost in-laws are coming."

Tori squinted and saw that Hunter and Blake's Dad was coming up leading a group of soldiers. The question was whose side were they on.

King Kanoi looked at the map and tried to figure out how to best split up his troops without causing them to be too weak. He looked up and saw his son riding to him, "Cam, is everything alright?"

"King Edward approaches."

"I see. And the rest of the troops?"

"We gained the hill on that side, but…four of the men are injured and can't fight. They've already been brought to the castle."

"Four? Well better than more of them."

"Father, what about Tori?"

"I still have some people looking for her. But we still need to keep focused on our land right now."

"Right."

Cam looked to the ground and then back at the battlefield, "I should get back."

"Alright. Be careful."

"You too." And with that Cam took off back to the battle.

Blake saw the dark veil getting closer as the three were running. So far nothing was chasing them, but since only Lothor knew, that wasn't so weird. They were a little closer and then finally the three broke free to the light and green on the other side. They couldn't help but smile for a minute before sobering and focusing on the situation at hand. "Well now that we're over here, where are we going to go? It's a pretty big land."

"I know. Look I didn't think that far. I just knew that Tori had a better chance, alright." Kelly said.

"Alright, well then…" Blake stopped talking and looked off towards the woods, "Does that sound like…fighting?"

Hunter and Kelly stood next to him and Hunter nodded, "Yeah. Why is there fighting?"

"I don't know. But I bet it's not good." Kelly replied, "Meaning we need to work fast because who knows what we'll find."

"Right. First let's get closer to the castle."

"I think we should approach from around back. There's a bit more cover and it's a little bit away from the fighting." Kelly said.

"Sounds good." Hunter said and then started off towards the woods. The three ran to the horses which were still there. After getting on them they carefully made their way around the back of the castle.

Tori looked up at the man who was holding her captive. His grip on her had lessened some as he watched the fighting with a smile on his face. Finally looking around the blonde took in exactly where she was. The castle was within view as well as the stable. It was a bit far off, but it was there. There was a small grove of trees near by, but that was it. Thinking back she remembered that she still had that dagger with her. She could feel it still strapped to her leg. As she moved to squat down Lothor looked at her, "What are you doing?"

"Look I'm just going to rest for a minute alright."

He looked at her staring into her eyes for a few minutes before letting go of her arm, "Fine. Just don't go anywhere."

"Alright." Getting down she looked up and saw him joyfully watching the battle again. Carefully reaching up she grabbed the dagger and then stood up again. "Are you feeling better?"

"I'll let you know." Tori looked around again and then back at the man, "So what are you going to do with me?"

"Why?"

"Well it seems like you just brought me here to watch a fight, which I could do at anytime."

The man laughed, "You can't watch a real fight at anytime. Especially when you're at peace."

Sighing Tori saw some soldiers look up at the hill towards Lothor. Before she knew it they were raising their rifles up at them. Looking up quickly at Lothor she saw that he saw it to. His hand reached out to grab her as he started to get smoky. Realizing this was her only chance she held the cloth out that had held the dagger to her leg. He grabbed it and disappeared as Tori flung herself to the ground.

After the shots were done firing she began crawling away towards the woods. Not knowing where he was going to appear was a bit unnerving, but she soon got her answer when she heard a loud yell of surprise coming from the soldiers who had shot at them. He had to realize that she was gone by now, Tori had to make it to the woods. Just a little bit further and she could get up without him noticing her, hopefully.

Finally she got to the trees and quickly stood up and got behind it. Looking out she saw him fighting with the soldiers, but then the area was covered in black smoke. Shaking her head Tori began heading back towards the castle while staying in the trees.

King Kanoi watched as King Edward stopped a few feet from him, "War?" was all the other king could say.

"I know. I fear there is more here then meets the eye."

"Like what?"

"I'm not sure. But is King Raidon coming?"

"Soon."

"I think we will need him."

"Where are my boys?"

"They're still in their rooms."

"Why? Should they not be out fighting?"

"I sent someone to retrieve them."

At that moment a page came running up, "Your majesty."

King Kanoi looked at the young boy, "What is it?"

"The Princes, they're not in their rooms."

The two Kings looked at the page in shock, "Not in their rooms? They're gone?"

"Yes."

"Kanoi, is this a joke?" Edward asked with his arms folded.

"No. I assure you this is no joke. They've left." Looking back at the page King Kanoi asked, "Do you know if Leanne is there?"

"I checked once I saw they were gone, she is still there."

"Well I'm…"

"Confused?"

"Yes. I can send a couple of men to look for them as well."

"As well?"

"My daughter is missing."
