In the summer holidays, Ace, Parker and Skye went on a roadtrip across the west coast of the US. While they drove to their first stop, the Grand Canyon national park, they were listening to music and talking about everything that popped into their minds. 

As they arrived at the campground of Grand Canyon City, it was late at night the gates of the campground were already closed. It was then soon decided, that they would sleep in the bus at the carpark in front of the main entrance. 

While the others were already sleeping, Parker went outside to take some photos of the night sky. When wanting to go back to the vehicle, they suddenly heard some voices talking and began to feel cold.

Before Parker could even scream, a black-haired woman took covered their mouth, their hands and dragged Parker behind them into the woods.

- a little timeskip-

The next morning, when Ace and Skye woke up, they noticed, that Parker's sleeping place was empty. At first they didn't wonder about it, Parker usually needed very little sleep and was the last to go to bed and the first to wake up. 

But when they still wasn't there at 9 p.m. , Skye and Ace got nervous. First the two enbys, phoned Parker- voicemail, then they stepped out of the bus and searched for them, walking around, shouting their name and asking people if they had seen them. 

It was Ace, who found the footprints. Kye immediately called Skye. When he arrived (today was a male day), they both looked at the footprintsin the mud. 

One pair of footprints looked like they were from Parker's combat boots, the other one looked like bare feet. "Do you think, what I think?", Skye whispered. "Parker has been kidnapped by a faery", both of them said in unisono. 

"We really should have done a protection ritual before we started", Ace said while Skye was running into the bus, to get all the things they needed.

~Timeskip~

After they had performed the protection ritual they packed their bagpacks with food, water, a first aid kit, some crystals and herbs and gifts for the faeries.

"It's kind of ironic that the forest is so peacefully, isn't it?", said Ace, while they were following the footprints deeper into the forest. "Mhm", Skye nodded in agreement, looking up from his map for a moment.
An hour later they made a short pause at a stream and filled up their water bottles.

~Timeskip~

Half an hour later, as the two were walking through some beautiful pines, they felt like they were near and started to slowly approach the nearby clearing.

 As they stood in the clearing, Ace confidently said: "Dear faeries, we have some super trouper sparkly stones and a chocolate cake for you, would you in exchange give us our friend back?"

 A moment later a faery with short blonde hair appeared from behind a tree and answered:" Show me the stones and the cake, if they're good, you'll get your friend back. " Skye opened his bagpack and took the gifts out. 

"They're good" , said the faery while grabbing them, "You can have your friend back. " As soon as the faery had ended, another faery, with long black hair appeared, holding Parker. 

The three finally reunited witches happily hugged each other. 

As they had stopped hugging and yhe faeries were disappeared, Parker said: " I'm glad you found me so quickly, they wanted me to make a cake for them– without any ingredients but some chocolate they found. Also I wouldn't have lasted another night with them, the blonde one snores."
