Chapter 11

Kendall shoved Logan behind him.

"Whoever you are come out where I can see you." Kendall shouted before holding out his knife in front of him.

Logan was behind Kendall with his hands wrapped around his bump and he was shivering.

Kendall slowly walked forward with the knife held out in front of him.

Out of the bushes jumped a man. The man was the evil master's servant from the town. But neither boy new that.

The man held his hands up. Kendall only lowered the knife a little bit. He wasn't very sure if the man was innocent, so he asked him who he was and what he wanted.

"I am a servant to one of the citizens of the town I was sent here to make sure that the young prince is actually pregnant." Logan was peeking behind Kendall's shoulder with his stomach poking against Kendall's hips. His small bump was easily seen with the tight white shirt he was wearing. "I can see he is so I will leave you two alone now."

Kendall nodded at him but didn't move form his stance. He felt in his gut that this man couldn't be trusted, that he was a bad man. Listening to his gut saved him many times before. He couldn't stop trusting it now. Suddenly the man turned around.

"By the way," he said. "On the way here I saw two young men around your age walking through the forest. They didn't seem very bright but I thought you should know. One was tall with brown hair and the other was small with dark brown hair. I just thought you should know." The man walked off more quickly than before and disappeared.

Logan looked up at Kendall, "Who do you think those people are?"

Kendall smiled at Logan. "It is probably James and Carlos."

Logan giggled. "Oh that makes sense. At least now we don't get to be alone."

Kendall nodded and took Logan's hand.

"Where are we going?" Asked Logan.

"To find those two baboons."

Logan laughed at him. "Why baboons? Couldn't you think of something better?"

"No. Anyways they remind me of the play we saw together the day after our wedding. Remember? I think it was called Lion King."

"Yeah, I remember. So, do you know how to get back, because I'm lost. I don't even remember the direction the cottage is in."

"It's okay Logan I know the way. Oh look up ahead I think I see them."

Both Logan and Kendall looked up ahead and saw two shapes walking through the forest. They could hear complaining and grumbling. It made Kendall laugh. He knew that neither James nor Carlos could last more than an afternoon in this forest. They would be lost for days.

"Hey guys we're over here!" Kendall shouted loud enough for the two boys to hear.

The other boys heard Kendall's voice and ran towards it.

Once they got to Logan and Kendall James couldn't help himself as he whooped with joy. He refused to ever go in that forest again with Carlos.

"Well guys I hope you won't mind sharing the couch at the cottage because there is only one bed and neither of you are going to be sharing with Logan." Kendall says while putting and arm around Logan's waist. They had just arrived at the cottage and were getting James and Carlos's stuff put away.

The rest of the day was spent with them talking about what had been going on in their lives.
