I stepped through the door and for the first time in my life, I entered Dormaselor. The first thing I noticed was that it was cold. Very cold. And dark. There were trees everywhere. The trees were very tall that you could barely see the sky. Dormaselor felt like a place in the middle of a forest.

It was late so it was getting dark. Stark decided that we should hurry. Only he won't be affected by Dormaselor. Kameron, Gomin, Robby and I will soon be very weak and can even die. I prayed none of that would happen.

"Guys, where are we heading?" Kameron asked.

"Well according to Z, Danny is in a cave." I replied.

"Well, isn't that the most helpful thing in the world." Gomin said, sarcastically.

For some reason we were all whispering. Like if we talked too loud, than an evil force will attack us.

"I think I know which cave he is talking about." Stark said.

"How come?" Robby asked.

"Because according to what Mickey said, Danny is taking a nap. There is a cave called Rest Alone. I think it's there." Stark said.

We didn't argue but just followed Stark. I was a little suspicious about him.

"So, is anyone going to tell me who Z is?" Stark asked.

I froze in my spot, my heart skipping a beat. We never told Stark who Z was. But when he tried to stop me and everyone asked for an explanation, I said Z told me. Stark didn't react and ask who he was at that time. But now.....

No one said a word.

"Well, ok then." Stark said. I saw him clenching his jaws. He looked hurt, knowing that we were keeping such a big secret from him, even when he is risking his life.

"I'll tell you everything later." I said.

He didn't reply. We quietly walked around, tension in the air. After a few minutes of walking we came upon a cave.

The cave looked like any cave you would see on TV. Of course it was dark inside. Luckily, Robby thought ahead and bought flash lights for all of us.

It felt like an eternity passed by but we reached the end of the cave which was separated into two different tunnels.

"What now?" I asked, irritated.

"I think we should go left." Stark said.

"Why?" I asked.

He shrugged. "Just a guess."
Why is he avoiding my eyes?

"Ok. Lets go." Robby said.

After a few minutes, Kameron said "Man I'm sleepy. It's so late. It's way past my bed time."

"You have a bed time?" Gomin smirked.

Kameron shrugged.

"It's only 8pm." Robby said.

They went on about random things but I didn't join them. I was terrified and scared. What if Danny got hurt? This is all my fault. And how did Z know I said that I wished Danny was here? I only told Gomin but I know it's not Gomin.

Then it hit me. Robby. He came while I was telling Gomin that. He must have overheard me. What if Z was Robby?

I looked at him, suddenly scared. It can't be.....

I was so lost in my thoughts, I didn't realize everyone had stopped walking until I bumped into Stark.

We had reached the end of the tunnel. And there on the floor, lying on a pile of clothes, was Danny. Without a second thought, I raced towards him. I heard someone yell my name but didn't stop until I reached Danny and knelt down next to him.

I sighed. He was asleep. I didn't see any signs of him being hurt but I wasn't a doctor.

"Guys, come help me." I said. I couldn't carry Danny on my own.

"Don't ever do that. What if there was a tra.." Kameron started but before he could finish, he fell down holding his nose.

Robby went up to him. "What just happened?"

"I don't know. I think there is an invisible force field, man." Kameron said, his nose bleeding.

Stark carefully started walking with his arms stretched out. He then stopped and put his arms outwards.
"Yup. There is something alright. We can't go through."

"Wait, then how come I walked right through." I said.

The boys looked at each other, confused. "I don't know." Robby said, with a frown.

"Ok. We don't have time. I'll just drag him out some how and then you guys can help." I said. "Sorry Danny." I whispered.

I grabbed his hands and put it around my shoulder. Man, he was heavy. I then put my arms around his waist and ungracefully dragged him out. Once I got out of the invisible force field, I gently put Danny on the floor.

"Come on, Kameron and I will carry him. The rest of you, back us up just in case whoever took Danny comes back." Stark said.

Stark and Kameron each took an arm and put it around their shoulders and we started walking out.

When we got to the place where the tunnel split in two, I was ready to go back the way we came but Stark stopped me. "Lets go through this way." he said.

"But we came through that way." Kameron said.

"Ya, why do you want to go through a different tunnel?" I asked.

Stark hesitated and said "I just have a gut feeling. Trust me guys."

Stark is making me suspicious by the second. And I didn't miss the hesitation.

"We don't have time." Robby said.

"Guys, please just trust me." Stark said.

I groaned. "Fine lets go."
I just wanted to get Danny out of here and take him to a hospital and make sure he is ok.

We followed Stark and finally reached outside.

"Thank God." Gomin muttered.

"Lets take a break. I'm tired." Kameron said

I didn't want to take a break. I had a bad feeling and besides, the captors could come any time.

"Oh. Boo hoo. Little boy is tired." A new voice said.

We all turned to find Cole standing there. He was leaning against a tree, his arms crossed and a smirk on his face.

"What do you want, Cole?" Robby demanded, standing in front of me.

"You took our property." Brad said, appearing from behind a different tree, followed by Brayn, Ayah and Sarah.

"We didn't take anything." Gomin said.

"You took the human boy from the cave." Sarah said. "He's ours."

"Your the ones that kidnapped Danny!" I accused, furious.

"Took you long enough, princess." Cole said.

"It was our pleasure. We over heard you tell Gomin how much you missed him so we decided to bring him to you. Anything for the princess." Brad said, an annoying smirk on his face.

I instantly thought back to when I told Gomin that I wished Danny was here. Robby wasn't the only one who came, Cole and his little gang were also there. Shame and guilt over flooded me. How could I have thought it was Robby. He would have never done that.

"Oh please. What's the real reason you took him?" Gomin yelled.

"Tsk tsk, watch your tone." Ayah said.

"We did it because we want you, princess." Cole said. And with that Cole and his gang took out their weapons, ready to fight.

"Lets play." Brayn said. He never talks, but he looked happy for a fight.

Gomin smiled. "Perfect, a game. I always win." He said, taking out his weapon.

Suddenly they were all standing with their weapons ready. I on the other hand, didn't know how to use a weapon. Since I didn't count, we were outnumbered. But we had talent. I took my weapon and stood in front of Danny.

Cole charged. They fought furiously. I could barely see them fighting because they were fast. Stark being the more experienced fighter, was taking Cole and Brad. Kameron and Robby were fighting Ayah and Brayn back to back. Gomin was going at Sarah. We were good. But we were at a big disadvantage. Since everyone except Stark was half Lari, they were tiring faster.

And since Maligns can also do magic, the other team were at another advantage. It became difficult to fight them once they started muttering spells and casting them on us. Gomin was frozen in spot. Kameron was flat on the floor, yelling that he was blind.

I was so caught up watching them, I didn't realize that Cole had snuck up behind me until it was too late.

He had a knife held at my throat. He yelled "STOP." Everyone froze.

"One move and princess here gets it." Cole said, with a nasty smile.

I tried struggling but he just put the knife closer, making me freeze.

"Put your weapons down." He ordered.

Stark and Robby did as they were told. Ayah unfroze Gomin and Brad muttered a spell and Kameron was back on his feet. They both dropped their weapons.

I silently put my knife in the waist band of my trousers. No one noticed.

"Ok. Good. Now we only want the princess so you guys can leave." Cole said.

"No." All four boys demanded.

"Fine. Then you'll all come with us." Cole shrugged.

"What about Danny?" I demanded.

Cole looked down at Danny and kicked him. I heard Danny groan.

"Don't touch him." I yelled.
Danny moved to the side and his eyes fluttered open.

Oh no.

"Wh-what's going on?" He asked no one in particular. He rubbed his eyes and focused on me. Then his eyes went wide as he saw a guy holding a knife to my throat.

"Hi Danny." I said, weakly.

He looked around. "What is happening?"

"Oh. Looks like the human boy woke up." Brad said, walking up to him.

"Don't. Touch. Him." I said, through gritted teeth.

Brad looked at me and smiled an evil smile. "What will you do if I did?"

"Leave the human. We were under strict orders to bring her." Cole said. He turned towards Danny "You see that Gate over there." Cole said, pointing at The Gate.

I hadn't noticed that we were so close to The Gate. If we could find a distraction then we can leave.

"All you have to do is press one of the pretty buttons and leave." Cole said

Danny looked beyond confused. I can only imagine what he's feeling. At least Dormaselor doesn't affect humans.

"Danny, listen to me. I know your confused but please trust me. Go and press a button and leave. Don't look back." I said.

"I'm not leaving you." he said. I smiled at his protectiveness.

"Oh. How touching." Brad cooed.

Cole sighed. "I don't have time for this, human. I'm doing you a favor. Now leave."

Danny tried to get up but was too weak. He fell

"Ugh. Weak humans." Ayah muttered

This whole time I was focused on Cole and Danny, I didn't notice Robby sneaking up on Sarah. She was unaware of Robby. I didn't know what he was doing but I quickly returned my focus on Danny.

Suddenly I heard a yell. Robby had pulled Sarah's hair and she was blasting magic everywhere. Kameron and Gomin quickly got their weapons and Stark raced to Danny. Taking this advantage, I kicked Cole on his knees knowing that that part hurts a lot. He yelled and let me go.

Before we knew it, we were running for our lives. Stark was at Danny's side just in case he needed help.

I turned to look behind me and saw them running. We were at an advantage since we got a head start but they started zapping spells.

We dodged and raced away. We got to The Gate. Kameron opened the door to Charilot but then we heard a scream. I turned to find Robby on the floor. One of the spells had hit him and he looked stunned. His feet were frozen to the ground. Literally. There was ice.

Stark yelled from frustration and went over with his weapon. He used the sharp side and started beating at the ice. We realized his plan and started to beat at it too.

I looked up and saw Cole and the gang gaining on us.

"Guys, their coming." I said.

"Just leave without me. Now. Go." Robby said, pushing me away.

"No. I'm not leaving you here." I said.

"Mickey, take the human and leave." Stark said.

"I'm not leaving." I argued.

"Mickey!"

Cole was first to reach us. He smiled an evil smile "Thought you could get away that easily. Stop what your doing or else."

"Or else what?" I said, trying to look brave. I probably failed badly.

"You don't want to know." he replied.

I whispered to Danny who was standing next to me "Leave. Now."

"No." He whispered back. "I have no idea what's going on, but I'm not leaving you."

I glanced at Robby who was carefully trying to break the ice without attracting any attention but it was difficult.

"Just give up." Brad said. "We only want the princess."

"Well you can't have her." Gomin said.

"Oh yes, yes we can." Sarah said with a smirk.

I had an idea. I slowly walked towards Cole with my hands up.

"Mickey! What are you doing?" Gomin yelled.

"I surrender. I won't fight you." I said.

"At last, the princess has grown a brain." Sarah said, with a smirk.

"Mickey. Get back here, now." Kameron said, calmly. Doesn't ever lose his calm?

"No. Their right. We can't win now. It's better to willingly go instead of getting hurt." I replied

"That's the spirit." Brad cheered.

"I'll willingly go if you don't hurt them." I said.

"Fine." Cole said

"Bye guys. I'll try my best to solve this mystery, but just in case I don't, I'm sorry. I'm sorry Robby." I said, walking towards him.

"What are you doing?" Cole demanded.

I gave him a deadly look. "I'm saying bye!"

"Ugh. Fine hurry."

I walked to him. "Don't do this Mickey." Robby pleaded.

"I have too." I said as I gave him a hug.

"Listen, I have my weapon in my waist band. It's very sharp. I'm going give the ice one big hit and I'm sure it'll break." I whispered in his ears.

"Ok." I let go of him and pretended to fall.

"Oh how clumsy. My shoe lace." I muttered, bending to 'tie my shoes'.

Then I quickly took out my weapon and smashed it against the ice. The ice shattered.

"RUN." I screamed.

We all raced to the opened gate. Cole was so caught off guard, that they didn't do anything at first.

But then I saw Brad throw a knife straight at Gomin's heart. I screamed his name but I knew it was too late. He froze from shock.
