Alden woke to the sound of birds chirping and the trees swaying to the gentle morning breeze. He rolled over trying feel Della but all he felt was a hand grabbing him.

"Dad?" it whispered. 

He finally opened his eyes to see his daughter, Biana, staring at him with wide worried eyes.

"What happened, where am I ?" Alden mumbled.

Then the memory hit him. Fitz, his son, saying that he was going to dye his hair and he fainting from the shock.

"Where is Fitz?" Alden asked trying to get up but Elwin pushed him down.

"Whoa, slow down! You still need to take some sedatives!" Elwin cried.

After Elwin checked him, Alden turned to Biana and Sophie who seemed to shrink under his glare.

"I am going to repeat this one more time!"

Biana nodded.

"Where is Fitz?"

Sophie looked away. "Ummm, see, he kinda ran away." she whispered.

"HE DID WHAAATTT???" Alden screamed. His son, who barely did anything stupid, started to give a rolling-eye attitude to his family.

Okay, maybe to Biana, but never to them.

"Next time," he growled, "I will chain him to a pole."

Sophie shivered.

Biana chuckled, but then her father gave her stern look and she frowned.

"Do you know where he is?" questioned Mr. Forkle.

"Well, he's in the Forbidden Cities." Sophie asked with a shy smile.

Alden gasped, "What? Ok, that's it. I am done dealing with this child. I will not be his father any more. If he starts acting more like a son, only then will I act like a father to him. I AM DONE."

Sophie and Biana gasped, shocked expressions on their faces. But, Mr. Forkle looked unfazed.

"Ok, do what you must, but I have found a way to track him, so, if you want, we could see what's happening to him now?"

"Wait, really? Yes, please!" Everyone said in unison.

Mr. Forkle nodded and led them all to a dark room, while Elwin pushed Alden's cot along, too.

"This is the Room of Security. And before you say that it's a lame name, let me just inform you that it's not supposed to have a good name. It's supposed to just have a good purpose."

Sophie, Alden, Biana, and Elwin all nodded.

A light blinked at the end of the room and everyone followed Mr. Forkle towards it.

He explained, "This is where Fitz is. Oh, and Keefe because he would be that ice blue dot over that. Fitz is the moving teal dot next to him and the pale blue one would be..." Mr. Forkle made a few clicks to the computer and said in a nervous tone, "That would be, well, Alvar, actually."

Everyone gasped.

Elwin whispered, "So then, they must be in trouble, right? Also, do the dots use the eye color of the person?"

Mr. Forkle nodded, "Yes to both. But, there is also a sapphire blue dot who would be, Chelsea, if I'm not mistaken."

Alden grumbled, "Ugh. Chelsea again."

"And, I'm afraid, that actually, they are all running away from this person. The one with the violet dot." Mr. Forkle added.

"Well, it's not a blue dot, so it's not an elf, right?" Sophie chimed in.

"Yes, that would be a... Siren."
