Chapter 3
The Twist In the Plot
Finding the Tarantula Territory was easier then Boomer, Boz or Candace thought it would be. But, with Mikayla in the lead and determination to find the mysterious hooded figure; they arrived in a fast amount time and we're able to start their search early. Candace and Boz searched on the left side of the area while Boomer and Mikayla searched on the right side of the area. All four; were just looking for some type of clue to help lead them one step closer into finding out who the Hooded Figure was.
However; all four friends were slightly beginning to felt defeated, for neither one of them found anything. After a long while of their search, the four friends decided to take a break and chill out in a safe spot on the Light Side. Traveling back; the four began to form a group chat just about the latest things going on around the island. Yet, they didn't make it far, when a distant noise began to reach their ears. As soon as they heard the noise, all four friends began to have their own reactions.
"TARANTULA PEOPLE!" Boomer, Boz and Candace all yelled in fright and surprise at once as they began to run around the area looking for a place to hide.
Mikayla rolled her eyes slightly and pulled her machete out. "Candace! - " Mikayla called making her blonde haired friend turn to her. " - You and the Kings head back to the castle." Mikayla instructed as Candace looked at her in surprise. Meanwhile, Boomer and Boz turned and looked at her like she was crazy. Mikayla shook of their looks and continued, "I'll hold the Tarantula People off." She finished.
"But Mikayla - " Candace began only to be cut off by Mikayla.
" - No butts! Now; just get back to the castle." Mikayla demanded as she guested towards the direction of the castle.
All three eyed her with worry as they finally turned and began to vanish into the bushes. Once Boomer, Boz and Candace were gone, four to five Tarantula People came out from the other side of the area and instantly surrounded Mikayla. As soon as they noticed the Light Side Guard Girl, they pulled their weapons, ready to fight. While this was going on, Mikayla got into her own fighting stance. As soon as they all got into their fighting stances, one of the Tarantula People began to charge at her.
Luckily; Mikayla didn't really have a chance to fight of the Tarantula Person. And, the reason she didn't get a chance to fight him off, was because the Hooded Figure themselves, came jumping out in front of her. From there, Mikayla watched on in amazement as the Hooded Figure stood his ground and held his bravery. In fact, Mikayla could've even sworn she saw him challenge the attacker.
Yet, neither Mikayla nor the Tarantula Person seemed to worry about that for long; for they too got into their own battles. With the Tarantula Person charging at the Hooded Figure; Mikayla held her machete up and began to fight off another Tarantula Person that came for her. For a mile around, all that could be herd, were the sounds of swords and weapons among each other. Finally; though, when the fight seemed to go on forever; Mikayla was grabbed by the Hooded Figure.
Instantly; when she was grabbed, the two were sept off their feet and Mikayla braced herself for the odd magic feeling once more. However; before they could fully vanish, one of the Tarantula People had managed to grab onto the Hooded Figure's shoulder/robe and apparat with them. For a moment, there was a popping noise in Mikayla's ears before a large swirl of color came around the three of them. Another, popping noise, and in the middle of their transport, the Hooded Figure, Tarantula Person and Mikayla had begun to fight and try to push one another to the ground.
Soon though, there was a scream. A scream sound loud that Mikayla thought one of the two with her were being killed. But, luckily for her, there was no killing going on. Landing suddenly with a loud thud on the ground, Mikayla frowned and groaned in pain. Getting up; she quickly jumped into action when she heard another cry of pain. Turning swiftly, she saw the Hooded Figure hit the ground and fall unconscious. Just as the Tarantula Person was about to nail the Hooded Figure with his weapon, Mikayla jumped in front of it and blocked it with her machete. She pushed with all her might and kicked the Tarantula Person in the stomach and watched as he tumbled backwards, slipped and knocked his head into the brick wall behind him.
As soon as she made sure the Tarantula Person was knocked out, she turned to the Hooded Figure. Scanning over the person who save her life yet again; Mikayla couldn't help but move closer to them. It was an odd feeling; it was like something was telling her to move to the stranger. So; when she did, she bent down and continued to scan the Hooded Figure for any injuries or broken bones.
There was nothing as far as she could see, but then again, she couldn't see the figure at all. A huge hood covered their face. A black robe was attached and it covered every inch of the body. It was like, the person underneath the hood was doing anything they could to prevent anyone finding out their identity. Speaking of which; Mikayla couldn't help but wonder who her guardian angel was.
"Let's find out who you are, shall we?" Mikayla questioned herself as she reached up and pulled the hood backwards.
Suddenly; a whole mess of emotions began to take over as Mikayla stared at the newly found face. Before her, was someone she believed to be gone for good. Someone who had betrayed them and vanished without a warning. In fact, that someone, was even a person Mikayla might have loved at one point. But yet, she couldn't help but allow the name to slip off her lips. "Brady?"
...
Meanwhile; Boomer, Boz and Candace had finally managed to make it back to the castle. Running into the Throne Room; all three friends ran into the person the in fact, were looking for. Mason Makoola watched in confusion and curiosity as the three friends stopped running into the room and began to catch their breath. For a moment, silence came over them as the three caught their breath. But, when they finally caught it, the three called for Mason who joined them in the middle of the room.
"– There's something we need to tell you." Boomer, Boz and Candace stated the moment Mason had joined them. Soon, the three began to try and talk at once.
"Hold it." Mason commanded making the three-stop talking. "One at a time please." Mason commented as he smiled at the friends. "What can I help you all with?" Mason wondered.
"Mikayla." Boz stated suddenly making Mason uncross his arms and eye him with confusion and concern. "Mikayla's in the jungle and needs help. Were sorry Mason, we went against your orders and looked for the Hooded Figure." Boz finished explaining as Mason sent them an angry look while Boomer and Candace complained at Boz.
"WHAT!?" Mason demanded as he continued to eye the three with death glares. "WHERE IS MIKAYLA!?" Mason demanded once more as he slightly began to tower over the three friends.
"On the Dark Side! – "Boomer stated as he cowered back a little. "– Were sorry! Please don't hurt us!" Boomer finished as he, Candace and Boz all took another step back and cowered together.
"WHY!? WHY WOULD YOU GOING LOOKING FOR SOMEONE I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO LOOKING FOR!?" Mason shouted as he took another step forward and pulled out his machete.
"Woah man! – "Boz stated with fright. "– I know we messed up; but we want to help you find Mikayla. We tried not to leave her alone in the jungle, but she made us leave. Were sorry. It's all cool man…" Boz finished as Boomer and Candace nodded in agreement while Boz held his hands up in defense.
"We'll talk about this later." Mason stated as he gestured between him, Boomer, Candace and Boz. "But right now; I need to find Mikayla." Mason explained as he eyed the three. "Now; where is she?"
"Near the Tarantula People territory." Candace replied with a frown.
"WHAT!?" Mason questioned as he sent another glare at the three before turning towards the castle doors. "MIKAYLA! I'M COMING FOR YOU!" Mason finished as he ran out the door.
Boomer, Candace and Boz all watched Mason leave with guilt and worry. Once he was out of sight, the three friends eyed one another. Soon, another moment of silence came over them before they shrugged, turned and began to follow Mason back to the area they had just come from.
However; neither one of them knew that the Hooded Figure nor Mikayla were no longer on Kinkow…
...
Standing there, Mikayla continued to stare at recent Hooded Figure now known as Brady Parker in a mix of emotions. While she stared at the unconscious boy; she couldn't help but feel tears of happiness and anger peek at the corner of her eyes. After all this time Mikayla, Boomer and Mason believed that Brady was really gone, he was with them. Not physical or mental, but he had been watching over them from a distance.
With that thought in mind, Mikayla smiled. Walking up to the unconscious ex-king of Kinkow; she got on her knees and scanned him over for any sings of serious injuries or broken bones. Luckily for them, there had been none. So; Mikayla moved on her next plan. While on her knees, Mikayla wrapped the bottom half of the clock Brady wore, tighter over him and she placed her arms under his back and began to pick up off the ground.
Once Brady was settled into Mikayla's arms the proper way; she began to look for a way out of the newly found area she and Brady were in. Instantly; she felt a little frightened. Sure, she's fought mummies, Tarantula People, Mermaid, and Sea Riders, but being lost and possibly miles away from home, scared even the toughest of girls. Looking around, Mikayla finally sighed in relief when she saw a light at the end of the odd road. With its damp coldness, and a smell of rain, brick walls lined the road and Mikayla could even swear she heard the distant sound of car horns and rain, she made her way towards the light.
Making it to the end of the road, Mikayla found herself in the middle of an odd-looking version of a big village. Yet, she wasn't sure because her main goal was finding help not only for her, but mainly for her king. Turning a corner, Mikayla frowned when she found herself pushing through big crowds of random people. However; she did take this opportunity to try and ask pass byers for help. Sadly though, no one helped her.
So; this caused Mikayla to continue her task on finding somewhere she knew the two could at least be safe from the stormy night. Yet, her travels didn't last long for finally; an odd-looking building came into view. It's glowing lights and happy costumers eating away at tables, instantly told her she was welcomed in and could seek help there. With a brave face and a sigh, Mikayla managed to make her way inside, still carrying Brady.
"Help! Please! Someone help!"
Before she knew it, people reacted in a completely different manor then she thought. A few people chose to ignore the two troubled teens and continued to eat their food, while two waiters came up to the young girl. At first, Mikayla was a little unsure of this choice, but then oddly felt safe with their concerned and worried looks. Soon though, another woman came up to her and began to help as well. It turns out, she was the owner.
"What is your name sweetie?" Courtney (as it said on her name tag) asked as she held the shop's phone in hand, ready to call the police if needed.
"Makoola, Mikayla Makoola." Mikayla replied as eye the two waiters and one manager.
"Alright Mikayla, do you wanna tell us what happened?" Courtney asked as one of the waiters next to her took out a pad and pen.
Mikayla nodded, "I was attacked." Mikayla explained as the three before her gasped. "But when my friend here tried to save me, they attacked him too. Then, before I knew it, we were here. Far from home."
"Oh, you poor things." Courtney replied as she frowned while she eyed the girl and boy. "Is there anyone we could possibly call to come get you?" Courtney wondered with hope as she smiled weakly.
"I-I don't know." Mikayla stated as she eyed the girl with slight fright.
"Are you sure? Maybe a family member by chance?" Courtney tried again as she continued to eye the girl and boy with worry.
Mikayla shook her head, "No; I doubt you'd be able to get a hold of them. It's very hard to reach the people from where we are." Mikayla explained without giving to much information away.
Courtney nodded, "Alright, I understand." Courtney sighed as she thought about something. "Do you want me to call the police?" Courtney wondered as she held the phone tighter.
Mikayla's eyes widen further and she pulled Brady closer to her. Something about the word "police" scared her. Sure, she didn't know who the "police" were, but she still didn't like the sound of it. "Please no!" Mikayla stated as she continued to hold Brady closer to her. "We can't call them. Please, I don't even know where we are." Mikayla finished simply.
"You're in Chicago. Chicago, Illinois dear." Courtney replied as she frowned.
"Chicago?" Mikayla questioned hoping she heard right. When Courtney nodded in confirmation, Mikayla thought of something.
Boomer and Brady were originally from Chicago. And, if Mikayla was right, then their Aunt Nancy and Uncle Bill would be here too.
"You, wouldn't happen to know a Nancy or Bill Parker, would you?" Mikayla wondered with hope.
Courtney eyed the girl in surprise before nodding. "Yes, Nancy was a good friend of mine in High School." Courtney replied as she smiled at the girl. "Are you a relative of hers?"
"No. A friend." Mikayla explained simply before nodding to the still unconscious Brady. "But, this is her nephew, Brady." Mikayla finished as she pulled Brady closer to her again.
This time, Courtney eyed the boy instead of the girl. Didn't rumors from fellow classmates state that Nancy had two kids living with her? "Well alright dear, do you want me to call her to come get you?" Courtney asked.
Mikayla nodded quickly. "Please." Mikayla finished as she smiled weakly and thankfully at the girl standing before her.
Just like that, Courtney nodded and began to type in the number of her old friend. While she did, Mikayla sat at the table still and waited while worrying on how she and Brady even ended up in Chicago. Not only did she worry about that, but she worried about what Mason, Boomer and Candace would do once they found out she was missing. Finally though, she allowed those thoughts to leave her head when Courtney told her she got a hold of Nancy. Mikayla just hopped, that Nancy and Bill would be able to help them find their way back home...
