Chapter 8: Retrieval

Jayden

Lauren entered. She seemed exhausted. We were too busy looking at the map to realize she was actually here. We were searching for both of the girls.

"I'm sorry guys, I couldn't find her. I looked all over!" Lauren cried.

"It's okay Lauren. We are trying to find her. I am just happy one of you are okay. No one hurt you, right?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I heard Emily's laughter and a male laughter, I couldn't decipher who it was exactly." Lauren said.

"What did the male sound like?" I asked.

"Sounded friendly. I heard a little bit of talking before I got close enough to hear laughter. She was laughing like he just heard a joke or something. The man laughed then Emily laughed too." Lauren said.

"So maybe someone found her in the woods or something and was going to take her somewhere safer or somewhere where her parents will be able to find her. I hope that is the truth." Mia said.

We all went out to start searching. We were searching in the woods in pairs.

Lauren-Mike

Kevin-Mia

Me-Ji and Cupcake

Lauren

I was alone with Mia, The cave would be nearby. I started to think. I need to knock her out. I slowed down so I was behind her. I grabbed my Samuraizer and made a symbol. I shot it at her and she fell to the ground. I started to pull her away and into the nearby cave.

Dekker had a set of shackles ready in an area Emily could never get to. I placed Mia and chained her. I returned to the woods and called Jayden.

Dekker

My plan was working. Lauren took the pink ranger and brought her to the cave. I knew she would be a great assistant and once she came to me for help, I knew my plan would work. I had Emily, the red rangers girlfriend, and I had his sister.

Once I heard Emily was part nighlok I started to have a plan form. I wanted the duel. I knew if Xandred's plan went wrong, he would come up with a plan 2. Whatever that plan would be, I had to get to the girl first.

From there I would get his sister. I told her to meet up with me everyday. I offered her some tea every time she came. In the tea had a poison. Making her want to serve me until I am tired of her.

The next part would be capturing his friends. Once I had them, I will reveal my location to the red ranger. Then we'd duel. If I lose, Master Xandred would get his daughter back and the red ranger could have his friends. If I win, I will keep his friends and make them into personal slaves. Then I will hand over Emily to Master Xandred. His friends will help me search for a new warrior to try and defeat so my curse can be lifted.

Emily was in the other room reading some books about nighloks. I talked to Octaroo and convinced him that Emily will be back in their arms once I am done. In the meantime I will teach her the stuff I can. He handed me the books.

Master Xandred may hate me, but I don't hate him. Because of him, this plan will work. I will make sure of it.

Emily

I set the book down and went to search for Lauren. I had woken up and my daddy want me to read. He taught me how to read small words.

I wanted to play now though.

"Lauren!" I shouted. My dad came out.

"Relax sweetheart, She is doing some things. Go back and read. If the enemy hears you, you will be in danger. Lauren will be home soon." He said.

"Can we play a game then?" I asked.

"No honey, I don't want to. Go color me a picture." He said. I can hear a dog bark. I shrugged it off, dismissing the familiar bark, and went back further into the cave to color daddy a picture.

Christine, Don't. You'll regret it later. People love you. Whatever you do, don't do something you regret. You may want to do that, but don't. It's never the way out. (sign up for a account, this way you can tell me why you're feeling like this, like what caused this, and I can help you sort it out) But you have a sister who loves you. You have parents, just it's not worth to cause yourself this trauma. I won't approve the review to keep it private just don't. It can lead to some problems. If you skip meals it'll lead to disorder, if you do other stuff, it can lead to serious issues, like death. Speak to a guidance counselor about this. Speak to your parents. If you need anything else, pm me.
