May and Zack were at the island.

They were quietly creeping around, looking for Warren.

Zack had created a mind link with May so they could speak in their minds to each other and send  "pictures" of where they are. 

"How you doing, May?"

"I found a thing."

She thought to him the area around her. She had found a footprint.

"Good, I'm coming to you."

Zack went back to May. The two followed the footprints and eventually came to the center of the island.

The fog was thick, all the plants either dead or dying. Dark creatures screamed and rustled the bushes, watching them.

May pointed at a spot on the ground. "There."

There was a trapdoor, a metal one with a thin layer of dirt on it. Zack opened it and jumped in.

Immediately, someone blocked his magic. Spinning around, Zack saw them.

Mike was tied to a chair. It looked like he had lost enough blood to make him dizzy, but not kill him.

Next to him was Lara, his sister.

"Took ya long enough!"

Zack growled. May's small cat-like ears went back against her head, but she stayed brave and glared at Lara.

"I have the child."

Lara smiled. "Okay. Bring her here."

Zack picked up May, then gently poked her twice. Nodding, she suddenly sent her magic through the ring.

Lara shrieked and fell to the ground, curling in on herself. As May attacked her with magic, Zack ran over. Gritting his teeth, he quickly knocked Lara out, immediately jumping out of range of the magic afterwards.

May stopped, then sat down. "Tired.."

Zack sighed, then untied Mike.

Mike moved slightly to look at Zack. "You're here."

He seemed okay, but you could never tell with him.

"Can you walk?" Zack asked.

Mike stood up and walked a little, then sat down. "Sort of... Kind of dizzy.."

Zack used his rough healing magic to at least get Mike alert. "Better?"

After a few seconds, Mike stood up again. "Better."

Zack picked up the sleepy May, who shifted slightly in his arms to grab Warren's finger. Quietly, she muttered something about bed time.

Mike smiled. "Let's go home."

The three went to the edge of the island. Then, Zack realized that in his panic, he had forgotten to tie the boat.

——————————

Don't worry, I won't kill Warren off.

At least, not for now.

Mike: *shoves Author-Chan in a box* *sighs* Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Sorry about her, she's in a bad mood and feels like killing characters.

May: Vote, share, and tell us your opinions!

Mike: May, Author-Chan said not to tell them to like, she said it's their choice...

May: Oh. Well, if you don't want to, you don't have to! Bye! ^^

Zack: *screaming bloody murder, running from a beetle*

Mike: ... I'll get it. See you all in the next chapter.
