Chapter 2 ;)

"Rythian?" Zoey called for her lover. He didn't answer back. "Rythie?" She called out. No answer. She sighed and walked out of their room.

"Z-Zoey…" she heard his dying voice somewhere in the hallway.

"Rythian!" She called again, then finished with "I'm coming!". She didn't hear a response. When she got to his body, there was a opening in his chest where someone- or something- had stabbed him. His purple eyes started at nothing. She gasped, a tear rolling down her cheek.

"Rythian! NO!" she cried, crouching over his body, many tears falling down her face.

"No tag backs!" Honeydew loudly said as he tagged Dean again. Dean sighed angrily.

"I said you couldn't do that shorty!" He insulted.

"I'm a dwarf! I'm souposed to be short!" Honeydew snapped back. Sam touched Deans shoulder.

"Dean, stop it" he said. The older brother rolled his eyes.

"Sure whatever" he said. He made a gesture to Honeydew that said: 'I have my eyes on you'.

"Xephos!" They heard a man with a Scottish accent. Dean and Sam turned to him.

"Hey Nilesy, what's up?" Xephos asked the man.

"Did you here? Zoey told me that Rythian was killed" he said. Xephos's eyes widened.

"He was killed? Did she say how?" He asked.

"Nope. She couldn't, she was crying so much. Poor little sap. Whelp, I'll see you la- wait, who are they?" He pointed to Sam and Dean.

"I'm Dean, my brother Sam" said Dean, gesturing to Sam.

"Hi" said Sam, waving. Nilesy smiled.

"Hey. I'm Nilesy" the black haired man said, holding out his hand to Dean for him to shake. Dean took it smiling.

"So, about the girl. Her friend got killed?" He asked, wanting to know more.

"Yeah. Her boyfriend, actually. This world's a dangerous place" he said, looking out over the horizon.

"Okay… and she barley told you anything?" Dean asked, looking at Nilesy.

"Yeah… why are you wanting to know?" He asked, looking at Dean with a suspicious look on his face.

"We're crime solvers where we come from, and we can maybe figure this out" Dean lied. Sam nodded, going along with his brothers idea.

"Where does this girl live?" Sam asked, walking to his brothers side. Xephos walked up to them, suspicion written all over his face.

"I don't think you should bother Zoey at a time like this" the brown haired man said. Dean looked down.

"Okay" he said, backing off a bit. Nilesy crossed his arms, thinking.

"Big basalt palace. Can't miss it" he said. Dean looked up and Sam blinked.

"Thanks, um, Niey, was it?" Asked Sam.

"Nilesy. And no problem" he said with a small smile.

"Could you take us there?" Asked Dean.

"I could…" Nilesy said, turning to leave.

"Thanks" said Dean as him and Sam walked over to him.

Zoey opened the door to Blackrock to find Nilesy and two other men at her door. "Hey Nilesy. Who are they?" She asked, looking at Sam, then Dean, then back again.

"This is Sam and Dean" Nilesy introduced. Dean smiled, as well as Sam. Zoey smiled weakly.

"We're here to ask a couple questions about your boyfriend. If that's okay with you" said Sam.

"It's fine…" she trailed off, looking at the pure white marble floor. Zoey let them in, but Nilesy stayed out.

"I have to go… I promised Lomadia I wouldn't be long" he said, waving goodbye to Zoey.

"Okay… bye Nilesy" she said, waving back. Nilesy walked off after that. Zoey closed the door and lead Sam and Dean to somewhat of a sitting room.

"Okay… now how did your boyfriend die?" Asked Sam, looking Zoey straight in her bronze eyes.

"He got stabbed" she said, thinking of the horrible image of her lover dead on the floor of Blackrock. Dean nodded.

"Did he ever do anything to make you mad or to hurt you before this?" Dean asked.

"No, Rythian loved me! And I loved him too" she said, getting a tad annoyed. Sam nodded.

"Where were you when he died?" Sam asked.

"I was in our bedroom… then I came looking for him and I saw him with a stab wound beyond repair…" she trailed off, her eyes getting a bit glossy from tears. Dean patted her shoulder.

"It's okay… we're almost done… Zoey, was it?" He asked.

"Yeah. Zoey" she said, looking at Dean with big eyes. Dean smiled.

"Okay. Now, last question: what killed him?" Dean asked. Zoey let out a shaky sigh.

"I- I don't know" she said, putting her hands to her head. Dean nodded.

"Okay. Thanks for your time" said Sam, getting up and soon being followed by Dean. Zoey nodded.

"Okay, so is she a suspect of the murder?" Sam asked Dean once they were away from Blackrock.

"No matter how much it seems that she loved her boyfriend, she's still a suspect" Dean said. Sam nodded.

"Fair enough. Should we ask more people about the victim?" The younger brother asked the older one.

"Of course. I say we ask that blonde guy… Lana? If he knows something" Dean suggested.

"Yeah, but the bad thing is, we're not allowed in his lab because I pissed him off" said Sam, getting in front of his brother.

"We'll just say we have some questions for him" he said.

"No. Absolutely not. I'm not letting that tall guy in." Lalna said angrily, glaring at Sam.

"It'll just be me then" said Dean, taking a step forward. Lalna thought for a minute, then looked at Dean.

"Fine. But it better be quick" the blonde scientist said, letting Dean in.

"Okay, Lana..?" Dean said, trying to remember his name.

"Lalna. You left out the l" he said, looking Dean straight in the eyes.

"Okay, sorry. So, Lalna, what connection do you have with this Rythian guy?" Dean asked.

"He's one of my greatest enemies. Magic and science don't mix" the teal eyed scientist said.

"Has he ever tried to kill you?" Dean asked.

"Why would we not? We're, like, the greatest ermines in this world" Lalna answered. "We almost killed each other once, but luckily Zoey stopped us" he finished.

"Okay… you were in your lab she he was killed, am I right?" Dean asked.

"Well… no… I was actually at the Jaffa factory… and that's no where near Blackrock" Lalna said. Dean nodded.

"Hmm… now, last question: what do you think killed him?" Dean asked.

"How the nether would I know? I wasn't there" Lalna said. "Are we finished here?" He asked. Dean nodded.

"Yeah. We're finished. Thank you for your time" he said, walking out of the lab.

Sam looked up at Dean as he came out of the lab. "So..? He a suspect?" He asked quietly. The older brother lead the younger one away from the lab to talk.

"Yeah, apparently they were enemies" Dean said. "Even tried to kill each other once" he added. Sam's eyes widened.

"Okay. So our list of suspects are: Zoey and… his name…" Sam tried to remember the scientists name.

"Lalna. Zoey and Lalna. The lover and the enemy" Dean said, keeping his pace walking away from the castle.

"Finally! I got it done. I can send those goofballs back now" Lalna said, putting the last screw in it.

"Lalna…" he heard something whisper his name. The scientist whipped around to see who did. There was no one there.

"Notch, I'm going insane" he said, shaking his head. That's when he felt an arm go around his head.

"Hey Lalna. So sad that I have to kill you" a voice said. Lalnas eyes widened as he gasped.

"Don't do this- AHHH" he screamed as a sword was plunged into his throat.
