Chapter 4 time to party and…….be captured?!
I woke up a few hours later. I guess my hours of no sleep have finally caught up to me. I shook the sleepiness away and looked at my clock. It read 5:00 p.m. "Great." I mumbled and walked out of my black room.
When I got to the bottom step, I realized the lights were off. I could hear about 5 to 7 people in the room. "What the heck is going on?"
The lights turned on, blinding me for a few minutes, and seven people jumped up and yelled surprise. I looked at the faces before me: Neji, Kiba, Temari, Kankuro, Gaara (yes, shocker, Gaara's at a party and smiling!!), Hinata and Ken-maru were staying at me.
"Wow." I said and ran to hug Kiba and Neji. I've been so busy that I haven't to seen them for a few months. "How'd you guys get here? Who invited you?"
"Gaara did." Kiba said.
"And we walked." Neji replied. He hugged me again and whispered. "And you didn't tell me you had a boyfriend."
"Sorry!! Been busy!" I said and hugged Gaara. I whispered thank you into his ear and rushed to hug my cousin. I was so happy. I thought I was invincible with everyone that I cared about around me. It made me feel strong and untouchable. Remind me later to thank Gaara.
Why partied for a few hours outside on the back porch. Receive birthday gifts, have a million pictures taken, talk, etc. Temari had arranged beds for Neji, Kiba and Hinata in the extra rooms. Everyone but Gaara, Ken-maru and me went to bed.
"So, what are you going to do next? What's your next adventure?" Ken-maru asked after hearing my story of two years ago.
"Ask Gaara! He's the one who assigns everything to me." I said.
"You'll have to wait awhile. Nothing is worthy of your skills yet, Amaya." Gaara said plainly. He sounded really mad and it kind of worried me. I was about to ask him what's wrong when he said he was going to bed and stalked off. Weird but I let it pass
"Well, now it's you and me, my princess." Ken-maru whispered into my ear. Then began to kiss my neck.
"Uh huh." I said. I was enjoying this. I loved having someone to love me without it being brotherly. I felt secure, unbreakable.
"I'm sorry." Ken-maru whispered into my ear. I sat up and looked at him. He was holding a knife.
"Ken-maru, what's wrong?" I asked, instantly stand up and getting into a stance. Of course I had no weapons on me so if there was a fight to come; I was going to have to do it with my fist. "What are you going to do?"
"I'm sorry, Amaya, but my employer wants you to come to him. That's why I was tried to lead you away last night." He snarled, sounding completely evil. "But you were too smart to follow me. That's what he likes most about you. Your strong, brave, naïve." Ken-maru stood.
"Who's he?" I hissed. Then I realized what he wanted "Your job was to get to me then lure me away. Your 'employer' wants me for something. Clever but stupid. I'm no fool."
"You could have fooled me." He hissed back then lunged for me, plunging the knife into my stomach. I gasped and tried to kick ken-maru off me. My plan didn't work because he pinned me down by stabbing me with more weapons. He covered my mouth with something so I couldn't yell out. Ken-maru stood and I couldn't move. I was bleeding rapidly and my lungs were being affected. I couldn't move, couldn't breathe, couldn't defend myself, and couldn't scream for help. I was screwed because within a minute, I was out from lack of air and blood-loss.
With the other inside
"Hey, Neji, has Amaya come in yet? I wanted to give her her birthday gift." Gaara asked he went downstairs once more. He had left Amaya and that moronic Ken-maru outside at least half an hour ago.
"I thought she was in bed." Amaya's older brother, Neji, replied. He looked an awful like His father. Gaara had seen the picture of Amaya, Neji and their father many times.
"She's not there. I checked. Maybe she's outside with her boyfriend, Gaara" Temari stated as she came from behind her brother.
"No body's outside." Kiba stated as he came back from viewing the back door's window.
"Where could she be then?" Kankuro asked.
"I totally knew he was up to something!" Gaara shouted, as he ran towards the door. He knew Ken-maru was trouble or did he? Was the fact that he was jealous making him run after Amaya who is most likely safe?
Gaara shook these thoughts off and continued to run after Amaya. He found a trial footsteps leading out of the city and followed it. The others trailing behind him, eager to find their friend, sister.
'I hope she's alright.' Gaara thought as he continued to run. Ken-maru couldn't be far…..
