~Chapter 4~

"W-What do you mean!?" I glared at Herobrine, he had a mysterious smirk across his face. "Just what I said, I'll demolish the kingdom completely," Herobrine stood up from his seat, his smirk remained the same. Suddenly, Herobrine vanished once again, reappearing in my face. I tried to get up and run but it was useless, Herobrine quickly took hold of my left hand and pulled me close to his face, "The best part is getting to work with you." I looked away as he spoke. "Sir, I think she had enough..." Paul got Herobrine's attention. Herobrine finally realized what he had done, "Sor-.. Excuse me.." Herobrine disappeared, allowing my hand to fall to my side. I stood there dumb founded on what recently just happened.

I heard Paul stand up from where he sat and approach my direction, "Are you alright?" He offered his hand to me. I managed to return to reality and take his hand, it was warm, "Apparently," I said under my breath. "What was that?" "Oh nothing," I tried to cover up what I really had said. "It seems though the master is a little bit um, not himself this morning," Paul explained, "while he's in his room please feel free to look around, don't go upstairs though, that is off limits for even I, myself." I giggled, "Thank you! Come on Bru-," That's right, Bruce ran off somewhere.

"Is this who you're looking for?" Paul suddenly had Bruce in his arms. "Bruce, yes thanks again," I came over to grab Bruce but right before i could at least touch him, Paul took my hand suddenly but gently, "Let me know if you lose anything else, kay?" I blushed hardly and nodded my head. After Paul had given me Bruce, I couldn't get him out of my mind, I also couldn't stop blushing. I patted my cheeks, "Get a hold of yourself, hurry up and find a way out of here," I whispered to myself. I ran down the poorly lit halls to find where the exit could be. Then i remembered, "The upstairs! Wait but I can't, but I got to take the chance."

I ran around with Bruce following behind, trying to find the stairs heading up. A few minuets passed until I was able to find the staircase. It was completely black. It went straight upstairs into more poorly lit halls. I hesitated a bit before quietly making my way up. "Hayden, I'm not sure you should be up there," I was frighten by the voice behind me. I looked back to see Paul standing on the very bottom of the steps. "I-I... I'm jus- I know what you're doing," Paul interrupted. I sighed looking, i stared at the ground. Paul walked up the stairs towards me. "This is not the way out.." he whispered in my ear. I kept my eyes on the purple carpet. He took my chin and lifted it to his face, "Please obey the masters orders, I don't want anything to happen to you."

I began to blush hardly once again. Paul finally released my chin and walked down the stairs again. Bruce began to growl. "Calm down Bruce," I picked him up and walked down the stairs as well. Once I was at the very bottom, Paul had disappeared. I looked around but couldn't find any trace of him. I eventually stopped and walked down the hall into my room. I lied down on the queen bed with my face sunk into the mattress. Bruce lied beside me, Tugging on the sheets. "What am I going to do?" I said hopelessly, "What is mom gonna say? What if I never see her again!?" I began to sob quietly into the sheets. Bruce stopped tugging the sheets and began licking my arm.

I looked up at him. He continued to lick my arm. He filled my heart with relief. "I may not be able to escape but as long I got you here, I'll be alright." I sat on the edge of the bed and cradled him in my arms. I love you Bruce..

(My Mothers POV)

I ran into the market asking everyone the same question, "Have you seen my daughter, Hayden!?" The only answers I receive was nods and others asked if I was drunk! I was scared as i looked for her, I didn't know who to turned to but then i remembered... The castle guards! I got back on my horse and galloped to the nearest nearest bar (the bars are were you can find castle guards). I made it to a bar called The Ace of Spades. It is very well-known in the kingdom. I tied my horse up and walked into the bar. As I entered i saw lots of men and women drinking all sorts of beers. I tried my hardest to avoid them. I made my way to the bar tender and asked, "I need to see the castle guards!" The bar tender tilted his head to the left hall. I nodded as my thank you. As I walked through the hall I heard lots of yelling and laughter from the room at the very end. I got to the door and knocked. "Come in!"

I slowly opened the door. I saw the guards in a dim room drinking beers and laughing uncontrollable. "Hey Hot Stuff did you come to join us for a drink?" I walked inside and closed the door behind me. "No I-" One of the men cut me off, "COME ON JUST HAVE ONE DRINK WITH US!" I watched as the men gulped down the beer. "This was a mistake," I thought. I turned to leave the men. As I reached for the door. I felt a tight grip on my hand, "Leaving so soon?" I struggled to break free, "Let go of me!" The man tightly got me in his arms, "I'll be giving you the time of y-" the man was knocked out and my wrist was free. "Stupid son of a b*tch," I looked up and saw the head guard Jason.

"Th-Thank you.." I said trembling. Jason was a handsome, thirty years of age, man that everyone respected. He was kind and always helped others. He gave me a warm smile then turned to the other men, "Quit harassing this woman if you all want to continue drinking." Everything was silent. He turned back around to face me, He was very tall, "What are you in need of?" I almost forgot what I was here for, "Oh, yes, um my daughter, she's um been missing ever since this morning and um I was wondering if you could help me search for her." Jason nodded his head, "What's her name?" "Hayden, Hayden Scotch, she's 19 and is about.. 5'6, she has dark brown hair that is usually down and has a birthmark on the of her forehead." Jason nodded his head again, "We'll form search parties and stay on the look out for her."
