Searching

"Mother, father have you seen Megan?" Theodore asked.

"I haven't seen her all day, didn't she go out with Marie?" His mother replied.

"But she would've told us when she was going" his father said.

"I'll go over to Marie to check" Theodore said as he ran off. It's getting darker and it's been 24 hours since he last saw his sister. He knew of the knights that's with Megan 24/7 so he thought she was safe.

Walking into the "Hui Pharmacy" Theodore saw Marie talking to a customer over the counter.

"Marie! Have you seen Megan? Is she with you?" Theodore asked frantically.

"Megan? No, she didn't stop by. Why?" Marie raised a brow.

"Then where the hell is she?" Theodore said with his eyes widened. Theodore and Marie looked at each other with an understanding, 'something happened to her!'

"Fuck! I'm going to Victon's place!" Theodore exclaimed as he dash out of the pharmacy.

He didn't stop his sprint even mean his lungs gasped for more air. If Megan was not at Marie's, he could only hope she was flirting at Victon's place. That was better than not knowing her location since there were people out for her. Theodore regretted not dropping those errands to go to Victon's with his sister.

'I'm so fucking stupid!' Theodore criticized himself as he arrived in front of the big iron gates of the Yvonne mansion.

"Sir knight! Is Victon in?" Theodore asked the knight as he tries to catch his breath.

"Young Master head out for urgent business at midnight, so he is not here" the knight shook his head.

"Have you seen a 1.65 meter girl with black hair and grey eyes coming here?" He asked.

"No, I have not" the knight replied.

Theodore froze as he tried to think what happened to his baby sister. She's missing and Victon is not even here.

"Who goes there?" He heard a voice.

"Madam! Master!" The knight saluted.

"Are you folks Victon's parents? Good evening, I am Theodore Vinnesia, Megan's elder brother. Pardon me for coming here so late, but have you seen my sister?" Theodore asked with a hoarse voice.

"Come inside, we have much to discuss young man" Mrs. Yvonne offered as the couple looked at each other with a sad look.

Theodore left with no choice, he came inside the mansion. Inside one of the parlor rooms, Mrs. Yvonne and her husband told Theodore what had happened. They woke up from a commotion and before they get the chance to ask their sons what was going on, they left with troops of knights. Their butler have informed them that Megan was kidnapped by thugs as one of the knights protecting her reported.

After hearing the story, Theodore sat there motionless as he tries to figure out what he can do to help his sister.

"It's been a whole day already, I hope Victon finds the child soon" Mrs. Yvonne said softly.

Theodore didn't say anything as he racked his brains trying to think instead of panicking. A little later he opened his mouth to ask, "do you know where Victon is?"

"We only know the pathway where the knights have fought with some of the kidnappers, aside from that there's no clue to where she went. Victon is trying to track her down so he's probably at the pathway" Mr. Yvonne answered solemnly. He told Theodore the direction to the path not far from here. Theodore concluded that Megan was kidnapped on her way here and it made him regret leaving her to do those stupid errands. He bowed to the couple and left the estate to the pathway.

He saw many sword markings on trees and footprints on the ground as the knights fought back bravely trying to rescue their Young Miss. Theodore walked a bit further into pathway leading into grasslands which was almost forrest like. He then saw Victon commanding his knights to search again for leads.

"Victon! Where the fuck is my sister?" Theodore yelled at Victon, he was fuming. He clenched his fists as trying not to punch his face.

Victon looked over to see an angry brother. He expected for him to come angry, but not this quick.

"I'm trying to find leads Theodore" Victon replied calmly but coldly.

"I thought I could trust my sister to you, but look! Your knights couldn't even protect her! She got kidnapped to God knows WHERE?!" Theodore bellowed and grabbed Victon's collar and was about to punch the guy. However, he stopped as he suddenly heard a rustle in one of the bushes. He let go of Victon then drop kicked the moving bush to find a 'thug' looking man. Theodore immediately grabbed the man's arms and locked it behind his back. "Victon! Get your ass over here!"

The knights came to the man and tied him with ropes, how could they miss this huge man while looking in the area? They sweated as they thought of their training intensifying after this is all over.

"Looks like I have to train the knights all over again" the Head Knight said shook his head.

Victon then bend down and stared into the man's eyes as if trying to look through his skull to his brain. He asked in a low raging voice, "where is she?"
