In the morning Catalina felt weird. She had a hunch that something bad would happen. Suddenly she thought of Gin and Imeruat. Catalina touched her chest, eyes closing. I hope they are alright, She thought. Isaz called her.
"What's wrong?" He asked. She looked behind her.
"I'm just worried about siblings that we met yesterday," She answered. Isaz watched her expression.
"Do you want me to check on them?" He asked again. Catalina would need Isaz in the future, but she worried about them for more. Furthermore there were Prompto and Gladioulus beside her, so she would be alright.
"Can you do that?" She asked. Isaz smirked widely.
"Of course I can. Piece of cake!" He ensured her. She smiled at it. Isaz watched for a while before flying to the outside. A second later someone knocked her room's door.
"Catalina? It's me, Gladioulus. Are you ready?" He asked on the outside. She turned to face the door.
"Yeah, I'm ready."
After having breakfast Catalina, Prompto, and Gladioulus went to Lord Edgar's mansion. They saw many people gathering in front of his house. There was Lord Edgar with his bodyguards in front of them. From the situation it looked like there was a debate. They quickly came to the crowd. Gladioulus asked the people to give them way. Lord Edgar turned to see them and smiled quickly.
"Well aren't you Gladioulus and Prompto? I'm glad you're here. I'm sorry I wasn't at home yesterday," Lord Edgar talked happily.
"What's happening? Why are people gathering here?" Prompto asked. Lord Edgar looked a little afraid.
"Uh.. well.." He stammered, not knowing what to say. Someone cried behind them.
"He helped the rebels to give them a HQ and they started kindapping children for recruitment! Now give us back our children and kick them away!" People around him started crying while raising their weapons. Lord Edgar was panicked and grabbed Prompto's arms.
"They're wrong my lord! A week ago some strange men came to my house and asked me to give them a big place for them. At first I rejected it, but they kept coming to my house with more men. They said that they would burned my entire field if I rejected it. I didn't say anything and they had already messed around and took my keys. After that they just went away," He explained with high voice, almost screaming so the people heard that.
"So where is the place?" Gladioulus asked him.
"I'll show you the place. Follow me. I'll bring my hired bodyguard too." Prompto turned to the people. They were still standing, waiting for a response.
"If you want to save your children and kick their ass off then follow me. When we arrive you have to wait in the outside because we'll check the place first. If the situation is not good then you all can come in, understand?" He shouted. The people were quiet at first, but then they nodded quickly. Catalina followed them from behind but she saw Isaz flying to her. He looked worried. She had a bad feeling about that.
"Hey, I saw Imeruat running to the inn. It looks like she wants to meet you," He told her. Catalina was surprised, and then walked to Prompto.
"Prompto, I have to go back to the inn. There's something I want to take care first," She said.
"Then how can you go to the place? You don't know where it is, right?" He asked her back. Lord Edgar heard them and said, "My bodyguard will follow you to the inn, and then he will guide you to the place."
"Thank you, Lord Edgar," She thanked him and went to a bodyguard.
"My name is David. I'll help you."
"Thanks. Let's go then."
Imeruat was in the inn. She asked about Catalina but it seemed like she went outside. She was disappointed but she had to wait for her because she didn't have any option. She sat on the sofa worriedly. She wanted to cry but she had to keep strong. She's alone after all. Or she thought so. Suddenly she saw Catalina with a man ran to her. Imeruat stood up and quickly hugged her. She couldn't take it anymore so she cried slowly. Catalina hugged back, patting her head.
"Are you waiting for me?"
"Please help me! Some strange men came to our house and took my brother away. I don't know where they went. Please!" Imeruat cried. Catalina hushed her.
"Calm down. Your brother will be alright. I promise I'll bring your brother back," She promised. Imeruat calmed down a little. Catalina broke the hug and cupped Imeruat's cheeks.
"Wait in my room. I'm going to find your brother. I'll be back," She told Imeruat. Imeruat nodded lightly.
"Be careful," she said. Catalina smiled a little and gave her a key to her room. After that she went to David.
"Where's the place?"
"Most likely it's an abandoned factory not far from here. Let's go," He said. Catalina nodded.
When the arrived they saw the people was gathering in front of the gate. Prompto , Gladioulus, Lord Edgar, and his bodyguards weren't there. One of them saw Catalina and went to her.
"Prompto said that you had to go inside from a secret underground tunnel beside the building and rescued the children. They are negotiating with the rebels. You can use your weapon if it's necessary."
"I know the place. Follow me," David said. Catalina followed him to the tunnel. He opened the secret door and they went in. It was a little dark but thankfully there were ventilations to the outside so they could see around them. They walked until the found a door. They waited to feel the situation on the other side. Feeling it was safe, they opened the door. It was an old big room used to keeping materials. They walked quietly, looking around. Catalina heard cries not far from her. She gave signal to David. They went to the source of the sound and hide on the wall. They saw boys were sitting, hugging together. A man was shouting at them. He brought a gun on his hand
"Don't cry or I'll kill you all!" He shouted, annoyed at their cries. David readied his gun to shoot him, but Catalina stopped him.
"The others will hear it if you use it. Let me do it," She said. She casted a spell and then wind came around her and went to the man to make him faint.
"You never kill people, don't you?" He asked a bit mocking. She smiled at him.
"I won't kill people if it isn't necessary," She answered. David and Catalina went to them. Catalina found Gin among them. Catalina asked him, "Are you alright?"
He nodded," I'm alright. Thank you."
"Is anybody hurt here?" David asked the children. None of them responded so he thought they were alright. He turned to Catalina. When he wanted to say something suddenly enemies ran to them. David immediately pointed his gun at them while Catalina casted her bow. She bent at the children.
"Sit here. Don't move or you'll be hurt," She asked them. They nodded quickly, scared a little. Catalina casted a blizzard spell to shook their focus a bit and David used it to shoot them. He succesfully shot some of them and Catalina shot the others. They didn't realize that someone quietly took Gin and shouted at them.
"You two! Put down your weapon or I'll kill him," He told them, pointing his gund at Gin's head. David and Catalina looked at each other, don't know what to do. He shouted again.
"NOW!" and a shot was heard. The man fell down, his body covered with blood. She looked around and saw Gladioulus on upstair.
"Are you alright?" Gladioulus asked.
"I'm fine. Thanks, Gladioulus," She answered.
"Lord Edgar and his men cleaned up the others. Prompto was chasing their leader. I'm going to follow him."
"I'm coming too. David, please escort the boys," She asked him. David winked at her.
"No problem," He said. She smiled at him before catching up with Gladioulus. They ran to the upper level on the outside. There was Prompto, ready to shoot the leader. Gladioulus and Catalina stood behind him.
"Just surrender. Your life won't be long though," Prompto said. The leader smirked at him.
" Oh, really? Then kill me," He said confidently. As soon as he said that some gargoyles came at them. The leader jumped on one of the gargoyles. They tried to shoot them but they went away.
"Damn it!" Prompto muttered.
"We'll meet him eventually," Gladioulus said.
"Looks like he used the gargoyles too," Catalina commented.
"Yeah. We have to go back," Gladioulus said.
Imeruat was sitting on a chair in the room when she heard the someone knocked the door. She quickly opened it, hoping it would be a good sign. Catalina was in front of the door with Gin. Imeruat smiled happily and hugged him.
"Gin! I'm so glad that you're okay!" She exclaimed happily. Gin hugged her back.
"Of course I am. She rescued me and the others," He replied.
"You will never leave me alone again, right? If you're not here I won't have anyone beside me," She whispered softly. Gin smiled a little.
"I won't leave you again. I promise," He said. He broke the hug and gave Imeruat a signal to go to Catalina. She nodded and turned to Catalina.
"Thank you so much for everything. I don't know what we can do to pay you back," She said sadly. Catalina smiled.
"Just promise that you will serve me delicious food if I come to visit," She said. Imeruat had a puzzled look on her face.
"Are you going to leave?" She asked.
"I've to go back in a moment. I'm sorry that I can't stay longer. But I promise I'll visit you," She answered apologetically.
"Really?" She asked, sounded a little disappointed.
"Yes. It's a promise." Said Catalina as she hugged her. Imeruat smiled softly. Catalina walked to Gin.
"By the way I talked to Lord Edgar just now. He said that you would work in his place. He'll pay you beautifully," She said. Gin bowed his head, feeling sorry.
"You're so kind to us. I'm sorry I wasn't polite back then," He apologized. She smiled lightly.
"It's okay. You just don't trust people easily because you have to protect her. Just don't do that too often, okay?" Gin looked at her, smiling a little bit.
"Okay." Catalina hugged him for a while and then left them. They waved at her. When she got into the car Prompto turned around to see her.
"Done, milady?" He winked at her. She blushed as she looked away. Gladioulus smacked him on the head.
"Damn it. Couldn't you just quiet for one time," He grumbled. Catalina laughed at them.
"Did you bring the pineapples?" She asked.
"Yes, I did. Don't worry about it," Gladioulus replied. Prompto checked his phone for a while.
"What is it?" Gladioulus asked.
"Looks like Noctis will go home tomorrow morning," He said.
"Then I'll make it right away," She blurted out.
"Make what?" Prompto asked. She was shocked because she didn't realize that she said that.
"Nothing," She answered lightly. Prompto and Gladioulus looked at each other and smiled, leaving her alone as Gladioulus started the engine.
Noctis was walking quickly through the castle hallway. He barely had enough sleep but when he arrived he wanted to go the place. The place that he imagined all the time. As he opened the door he walked to his usual place. He saw Guerro, but it's just him.
She's not here, he thought.
"Guerro turned to see Noctis. He bowed," You've arrived, your highness. How's the trip?"
"It's as usual. Where's Catalina?" He tried not to ask about her, but he was impatient.
"She came here three hours ago and then went home. She wanted me to give your highness this," He gave Noctis a jar of small pineaplle pies. Noctis took it, thinking that she kept her promise afterall.
Catalina was helping her aunt serving customers when she saw Noctis came into the shop. She was very surpised to see him. Noctis gave her a signal to take her time. Ten minutes later she approached Noctis with a worried look in her face.
"You just arrive, don't you? Oh my god your face! You should rest first. Why are you here?" She asked. Noctis kept calm as he showed her the jar.
"Well, I don't know how to enjoy this food with. Any suggestion?" Catalina was taken aback. He came all the way here just because of that? Why? She thought to herself.
"Please sit here," She said. Slowly Noctis sat down with his usual calm face. She walked to the door as he asked," Where are you going?" Catalina turned around, smiling softly.
"I'll make a very delicious tea. It's time for you to be relaxed for a while, isn't it?"
