Chapter 9

I sit in the chair rubbing my hands together scared at the outcome of current events.

"I told you Arian you can't get out of that room once you lock it.....unless you do what you did and break the door" Garret says agitated while examining the door and it's broken lock. The lock dangled off the door like a leaf trying to hold on to a branch.

"Then how could she have gotten out!" Arian yells with a low angry voice. I have never seen him this angry even in all the years I have known him. I say in my head while staying quiet not to interfere with them.

Arian quickly turns around slams his fist into the wall. Both Garret and I stare at him in shock and look at his back as he faces away. Arian seems to shake a bit as he keeps his head down looking at the ground. Arian's fist is still against the wall and he lets out a heavy exhale. Arian moves his fist away revealing a hole in the wall and some blood.

"Arian we will find her" I say trying to get through to him. I feel regret thinking about leaving her alone in that room. I shouldn't have left her there! I scream inside my head feeling anger in myself. Arian slightly looks back and glares his eyes like daggers. The purple was faint but is was there and it was scary. Arian then pushes himself off the wall and stomps off towards the exit.

"Arian where are you going!" I scream to him. Arian ignores me and continues to the door swinging it open. I call to him once more but he steps through the door and he slams it behind him. With a thud a painting falls of the wall revealing a small hole behind it.

"Garret what's that?" I ask as the dark little opening has a small object inside. Garret steps forward and pulls out a small frame showing a perfect painting of Garret, me, and....Arian. I remember when they had us pose for them to paint. The hours upon hours of standing, losing sleep, lack of food, and lack of water. The waiting did pay off though because the picture seemed so realistic.

"I can't believe you kept this" I say feeling my heart seem to be uplifted while waiting for his response.

"I have always loved the picture and I kept it after my parents passed, I decided to go and take over the house and everything in it and that was there" Garret says as he gets closer looking at the picture along with me. I give it to him and see his eyes well up as if they were about to cry. I step back from him and slowly slide out the door to find Arian.

"Where is he" I groan as all I see is people walking and children playing around me.

"Hey Flynn!" I hear a woman's voice call. I quickly turn to see if it's Lindsey when my eyes see a group of girls. The girls looked like they we're very young and they begin to giggle. I laugh as I watch a older woman come and shoo the girls off.

"You girls leave him alone he is busy" the woman yells and smiles at me then walks back to her home. I smile back then continue walking but stop when I think about Arian. I look around for the girls when I see them walking into a home. I run after them and stop in front of the door.

I knock and hear footsteps from inside rush to the door. The door quickly opens and a older woman with graying hair opens the door. The woman has a small frame and I tower over her.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" the woman ask as she smiles and looks up at me. I stare at her for a second thinking that I have never seen anyone this short when I snap back into reality.

"Oh. Yes umm a group of girls walked in here and I want to ask them a question about someone" I say. "Is that okay?" I ask as she gives me a questioning look.

"Can I get your name?" the woman ask while cocking an eyebrow.

"Flynn. My names Flynn" I say remembering I forgot to introduce myself.

The woman quickly turns her head back and yells. "Sara come down here with your friends a man wants to talk to y'all!". I flinched away a bit surprised that a woman of her size could make such a loud noise. I then hear several footsteps come from above me then I hear voices.

"Come inside" the woman says in a sweet quiet voice surprising me. I step through ducking my head so that I don't hit the door frame. The kitchen was the first room I walk into and there is a small doorway leading to a hallway but I can't see the end.

"Do you want something to eat?" the woman ask her smile showing her pretty white teeth. I look at her scared that I could get yelled at if I say no.

"Honey don't be shy here" the woman says and hands me a piece of bread along with some grapes.

"Thank you" I say hearing my stomach growl. I quickly eat the food and when I finish the woman just stares with astonishment. "I'm sorry I have had a long day" I say while my face begins to warm up.

"I knew I should have given you more you are a big man" she says and laughs a bit then I see movement out of the corner of my eye. I turn and see the girls all frozen in their tracks at the doorway of the hall.

"Hello girls I need to talk to you" I say while smiling and stepping towards them. The girls all smile and run up to me catching me off guard. The one girl jumps into my arms while the others have a look of envy.

"Elizabeth no fair" the one girl calls as I try to peel the girl off of me. The girl has a small frame and resembles the woman who opened the door. I keep pulling until Elizabeth is off feeling her lightweight in my hands. I set her down and kneel down on one of my knees in front of Sara.

"You must be Sara" I say while looking into her eyes and seeing her excitement.

"Y...yes" Sara stutters and smiles even bigger.

"I have a question for you and if any of your friends can answer then that would be okay too" I say as I hear a few gasp from behind her.

"Did you see a dark haired man walk by and he may have had a angry look to him?" I ask and see Sara's disappointment.

"Oh you mean Arian" I hear the woman say while she comes over towards us. I stand up towering over the girls and the woman and look at her.

"Yes that's him where did you see him?" I ask as I feel the girls eyes follow me.

"I was sweeping outside when he walked past and was heading into a pub" she says while looking at me with curiosity.

"I have seen him too!" I hear Sara quickly cut in and runs in between her mom and me.

"Really then you can show me where he went if that's okay with you Mrs..."

"Just call me Lola that's fine as long as she doesn't come in there with you" Lola says and smiles.

"Okay" I say and laugh as the girls all sprint to the door getting their shoes on.

"Is this what you have to deal with all the time?" I ask while looking down at Lola.

"Yes me and my husband have been dealing with them since Sara was born" she chuckles.

"You wouldn't happen to be married to Logan Creaks?" I ask while seeing a men's jacket hanging on a rack.

"Yes I am" Lola says and nods her head to outside the window. I look to where she is pointing and see a man with a large beard, hair as red as fire, and a large frame. I know Mr. Creaks from when I used to be his apprentice at the old blacksmith shack. The door swings open scaring all of the girls and he steps in.

"How is everyone doing" he laughs as Sara runs to him and hugs him.

"Daddy guess what I get to help someone find his friend" she blurts out and jumps around excitedly.

"Who?" he ask not noticing me yet.

"Him" she points as his eyes follow until they rest upon me.

I wave slightly as I hope to see him recognize me. He walks up to me his face stern and stands a few inches below my chin.

"Flynn my boy how come I haven't seen you come by?" he ask his face turning back to its happy glow. I feel him hug me tightly but he quickly pulls back holding my arms.

"I have wanted to but I have been busy" I say as I feel a tug on my right arm.

"Flynn let's go your friend is probably worried" the girl says that is tugging my arm.

"I'm sorry sir but I said they could come help me find Arian" I chuckle as I feel his eyes burn into me. The tug increases as more girls come but I am still not moving a bit.

"You are very popular with them go ahead and go" he laughs his belly bouncing with every laugh. I nod my head then let the girls win and go with them. Feeling there weak pulls as they try. Somehow Lindsey was much stronger then all of these girls I think about the time she tried to pull me and I moved a bit. The girls pull me through the door and my head hits the frame sending pain to my forehead. The girls slightly laugh as I rub my head feeling the pain. The girls continue to lead me when I hear a voice call.

"What did I tell you girls" the older woman from before with silver hair yells setting her broom down on the ground.

"They're fine" I say laughing as I see a few more people come from their houses at the girls screams. I feel all of their eyes burn into me and my face begins to feel warm. A few laughs comes from the people then there is a loud crash from a building. I quickly look and see Philip on the ground with glass shattered around him.

"Arian.." I whisper and slip out of the girls grasp. Before I get to him Arian walks out the door his eyes white. Quickly Philip moves his hand to Arian's foot freezing it to the ground.

"Philip, Arian stop you know what happens" I yell as I run to them and hold my hands between the two.

"Where is she?!" Arian screams at Philip as my hand is pushing against his chest. I feel all his muscles flex and see him easily break from the ice. Philip stands up almost eye level with Arian and his eyes are almost completely blue.

"Arian calm down" I say while turning to him to look him directly in the eyes.

"I know he did something to her" Arian pushes out of my grasp and pushes Philip back. Philip quickly steadies himself and sends a shot through Arian's arm. Arian surging with anger grabs Philips neck and slams into the wall. I quickly grab Arian and pull him to the ground. I steady myself on his back and push my knees into the back of his thighs and hear him wince.

"Arian you need to be calm he didn't do anyth...."

"He did something to her and she is probably already down there trapped and being force to lay in bed with his men" Arian growls and spits at Philip but unexpectedly tears begin to form in Arian's eyes.

"I told you before I don't know where she is I would know if she was there because I wouldn't be here" Philip says as he cleans himself up.

I look up and see the girls standing in horror along with all the other people and feel my face getting warm. Arian tries pushing me off but I keep pushing my weight into his legs. I see a flash of movement from the corner of my eye and see long brown hair flow behind a building.

"Arian I think I just found Lindsey" I whisper as sink my head close to his. Without hearing his reaction I run after the girl. I jump around the corner and see no one there but there are footprints. I follow the footprints and hear steps come behind. I turn my head and see Arian behind me his eyes showing a questioning look. I follow the steps quickly and when I go around the corner I see Lindsey running with her corset being covered with her shirt.

She runs and I begin to see where she is going she is going back to Arian's home. I quickly follow her and watch as she slams the door behind her into his home. Arian runs past me and runs up to his house bursting through  door. I run after him and see through the window Lindsey in his embrace.

I smile as I see her face in disbelief and then she hugs him back. I step through the door and he quickly let's go of her and turns to look at me.

"We were worried about you" I say sternly as I begin to think what would happen to us if she was gone. Gosh you do like to get yourself in trouble I say in my head and smile a bit at here.
