[mationix]

The two men nodded to one another, seeming quite satisfied with themselves. Though the scream alerted Abaet, who ran out of the room. "What's goin-" One of the men smacked him over the head with the blunt of his knife, the prince crumbling to the ground.

"Looks like we have more captives," the man who was holding Killigan muttered, grimacing.

"Quite your whining, come on, we need to head back to Master Threuss," the other snapped, hefting the princess and the prince over his shoulder.

[~echo~]

One of the men nodded and got Killigan on his shoulder. "Let's go. I don't like this castle- it's creepy.

Alianna looked at Serena. "Did you hear that?"

[mationix]

The other one grunted. "Ah, relax you wuss. I've seen worse." He turned around and started walking back down to the main floor, none to careful with the princess' and prince's body.

Serena swallowed and glanced at Alianna. "We can't do anything," she hissed, "we need to get out of here!"

[~echo~]

Alianna blinked. "Threuss probably asked for the princess," she whispered.

The other guy shrugged. When they reached Threuss, he put Killigan down and bowed to Threuss. "We found the princess but we had to take the prince, too."

(Julia has brown hair and Alianna has blonde hair- that is the key difference xD)

[mationix]

(Also, I'm guessing their faces are different. X3)

Serena threw her hands up in the air. "Does that matter? Listen, Alianna, we need to get out of here! We need to head back to your father, this separate kingdom can take care of itself."

Threuss placed his finger tips together, a large grin forming. "Excellent work boys," he congratulated, already turning around. "We have-" He broke off, his eyebrows knitting together. "Wait a minute- Show me the princess you found." The man glanced at his partner, before setting down the princess' body. "YOU IDIOTS!" Threuss roared, starting to yank on his hair. "That isn't Alianna! This is the wrong princess!"

[~echo~]

Alianna nodded. "You're right. Come on- I think I see some light up ahead," she said softly.

Threuss's man winced as his master pulled his hair out. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

[mationix]

Serena nodded and followed after her princess, a little surprised at how she didn't scold Serena for being incosiderate.

Threuss pinched the bridge of his nose. "Alright, alright. This can work in our favor," he muttered, pacing back and forth.

[~echo~]

"How, sir?" the man asked nervously.

Alianna crouched at the exit to the tunnel, looking around to make sure none of Threuss's men had found the exit already

[mationix]

Threuss waved his hand, trying to shush them. "They will be our bargain, well, other than the old servant of course."

Serena grabbed Alianna's arm, almost like she was trying to stop her. "Wait, we might need to wait, just in case they're waiting for us."

[~echo~]

Alianna froze as she thought she heard a sound at the exit.

The man nodded, understanding. "Okay. First we need to find somebody who knows the servant."

[mationix]

Serena froze, swallowing. "Is there something there?" She breathed, her eyes wide.

Threuss turned to face his man, an eyebrow raising. "And why's that?" He asked, tilting his head to the side.

[~echo~]

(I meant the princess xD)

"Because then they will know where they are. I bet this idiot knows," he said, kicking Killigan.

Alianna peeked out and saw three men looking around, trying to find something.

[mationix]

(Princess? You mean Alianna and Serena? Sorry, my mind's kind of muddled right now; I've been typing up my history notes for my final, flooding my brain with a ton of information... u.u)

Threuss let out a grunt, pulling up a chair and sitting down, crossing his legs. "Well then, wake him up," he commanded, with a flourish of his hand.

"Can we do anything?" Serena whispered, her stomach clenching.

[~echo~]

(He was saying that they need to find somebody who knows the princess xD)

Alianna nodded. "I'll knock them out." She used her earth powers to get three stones from the cobblestone and prepared to throw them.

"Okay." The man began to nudge Killigan who refused to awake.

[mationix]

(Ohhh, gotcha. Sorry for my slowness. ^^;; )

Serena gritted her teeth, tensing up. Would this work? A thought dawned on her and she pulled on Alianna's sleeve. "W-wait, weren't we going to get away from here? The kingdom can deal with its own kidnapping."

[~echo~]

(No worries xD)

Alianna blinked. "I- I still want to help her. She's very helpless."

[mationix]

Serena shook her head. "If you do manage to knock them out, Threuss and his men will know that we were really here. He might think he got his facts wrong, if we leave them be. Please, this is for your safety."

[~echo~]

"What are we supposed to do? Where are we supposed to go?"

[mationix]

Serena looked like she was about to start crying in desperation. "I have no idea, I was following you."

[~echo~]

Alianna sighed. "You stay here. I'm going back to help that girl and stop Threuss once and for all- I can stop him by driving him out of the castle with some fire then kill him once out of sight. His men will be easy."
