"Who...who are you people" carol cried as they looked at the two men that were sat in the window, they were both dressed in black, with matching capes behind them. One of the men had sandy blond hair that flowed down his back in waves, he had a cheeky look one his face, the other one also had blond hair but it was not as long as his counterpart but he was bigger than him. Both men had their eyes closed and smirks on their faces.
"that is none of your concern, carol" the smaller one said to her as he opened his eyes, they were as blue as the sea, however, they looked more like cat's eyes than human "cause you are coming with us" he said as he pointed at her, the ring of fire surrounded her and with a scream, she was gone.
"Let's go," the bigger one said to his counterpart.
"Wait, what did you do to her," Soraya asked then causing them to stop, and look at her.
"What you wished for, she's gone, never to bother you or your father again" they replied.
"Wait, I didn't mean that," she said to them "please bring her back," she said as they looked at each other.
"Sorry, but what's done is done, you won't ever see her again" they replied "so go to bed and continue your life, you won't ever see her again"
"Please, you can't do that, she might be a pain but she is part of this family" Soraya explained "isn't there anything I can do"
They looked at each other before turning back to her "there is one thing"
"Name it," she said as she comforted her father.
"We'll give her back if you would offer yourself in exchange," they said.
"Deal," she said to them.
"Soraya what are you doing," her father asked her as she walked towards them, but she replied him with cold teary eyes.
"You love her more than me, you won't miss me as much," she said as she turned to the two men "I'll go with you, just bring her back"
"deal, little lady," the smaller one said as with a snap of his fingers, she was back, unconscious on the floor as her father rushed over to her, not seeing the single tear that ran down her cheek.
"Let's go," she said to them with her head down.
"Later gramps," they said as they grabbed her as a fiery tornado covered them, and within a flash she was gone.
Soraya woke up as a ray of sunlight shone on her face; she sat up and stretched, rubbing her eyes.
"Was that a dream?" she said to herself.
" Nope," she heard a voice says, causing her to look up into the tree that she had slept under, the two men were sitting in the branches as they watched her.
"Who are you guys," she asked as she dusted off her simple black dress.
"I'm Shawn and this guy is..."
"hunter my lady," he said as they jumped out of the tree and landed perfectly in front of her.
"Where are we," she said as she looked around, she looked over the hill and saw the whole field, but what got her attention was the dark castle that was on the other side of what looked like a maze.
"This is neora, your new home" Shawn said to her.
"Oh right," she said "so where are we heading"
"Well by order of our king we have to take you to his castle," hunter said.
"You mean that one over there," she said pointing at the dark castle.
"Yep," Shawn said with a smile.
"But doesn't that mean, we have to go through that maze," she asked them.
"Yes we do and that's the king's labyrinth, designed by his majesty himself"
"Why," she asked.
"his majesty doest like guests, so he had that built as a means of keeping unwanted guests away and also as a security measure"
"Oh, it doesn't look too hard," she said.
"Oh trust us, it's a lot more than it appears,"hunter said, "If we want to get there before sunset, then we better start moving," he said as they started to walk, unaware that they were being watched.
"Now what are those two up to this time," a deep dark voice said as he watched them through his crystal mirror.
The trio continued to walk through the maze, till it was high noon.
"So what are you guys," she asked them as they helped her down a small cliff.
"What do you think we are" Shawn asked with a smile.
"Fairies?" she guessed causing them to laugh.
"Sorry, but no," hunter said, "simply put, we are..." Shawn said but stopped as he turned to as sudden noise that came from within a bush.
"hunter, stay here," he said as he went to investigate, he walked a good distance away from them before he turned a corner.
"Got you," he said only to see what looked like someone but he couldn't tell due to cloak that they were wearing.
"Hey what are you doing here," he said walking over to them.
"I should ask you that same question," the cloaked figure said as he threw his cloak and stood in front of Shawn.
"Oh sir, what a surprise," he said as he looked at his ruler with a nervous laugh.
"Indeed, now would you like to explain where you and hunter went to last night "
"Well, what happened was..." Shawn started but stopped as a beautiful voice began to sing.
"You'll remember me when the west wind moves upon the fields of barley.
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky as we walk in fields of gold.
So she took her love for to gaze awhile upon the fields of barley.
In his arms, she fell as her hair came down among the fields of gold.
Will you stay with me; will you be my love among the fields of barley?
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky as we lie in fields of gold.
See the west wind move like a lover so upon the fields of barley.
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth among the fields of gold
" the voice sang causing the king to look at Shawn.
"Well...well, look at the time I'll just go and find hunter, "Shawn said as he began to walk away.
"Wait," the king said as he threw a black rose to him "give her this"
Shawn caught the rose and looked up only to see that he was gone, so he sighed as walked back to the others.
"Hey Soraya," he said as they walked through the maze.
"Yes Shawn," she said with a smile.
"Here for you," he said handing her the rose.
"Aww thank you," she said smelling the rose, but as soon as she took in its smell, she fell to the ground and fell asleep.
