WHERE IS ELIJAH

"Isa...." Elias hunged his words and hand mid-air, he was about to greet her as soon as she entered through the gate, but like a bolt of lightening, she ran into the house.

He looked outside the gate, was she being pursued?. he looked at Derrek who just entered with a questioning gaze, Derrek just shrugged his shoulder, feigning ignorance.

With the blush he saw on her face, he could only conclude that something had happened. he chuckled lightly.

They were about to head inside, when a figure suddenly appeared right in front of them.

"Your highness, Elias" he greeted them,but was rewarded with a glare by the prince.

'What did i do wrong?'.

The first thing both Derrek and Elias did was to check the house, it would be bad if Isabel just saw someone appear out of nowhere.

"Don't you ever appear like that in front of me or this house" Derrek shot him a glare.

Not understanding why the prince scolded him, he could only scratch his head, This wasn't the first time he appeared like that, that was their normal way of life, So why the sudden change, Although confused, he bowed his head and apologized "Am sorry, Your highness".

"Let's go"

"Yes, your highness" he was about to move to follow the Prince when someone abruptly jumped on him.

"Niclas! You are back". he happily jumped on Niclas and kissed his cheek.

"Nix!". Niclas angrily shoved him away when he kissed his cheek. he hated skinship, but this certain guy would never listen.

"Uff, You have been gone for over a month, Now that you are back, is this how you treat your brother" Nix playfully whined.

Niclas raised his hand to knock Nixs' head when another two duo jumped on him, hugging him so tight that he could barely catch his breath. 'Why are they all behaving like babies'

He could only ask for help from the only one who seemed to be the reasonable one amongst them, Or so he thought.

"Raphael, can you please drag this two idiots away from me". he was so done with the duo latching on him like a koala.

The one named Raphael just chuckled, enjoying the show, he couldn't help his laughter when both Larry and Neil kissed his cheek at the same time, he was enjoying Niclas' horror stricken face.

"Welcome, brother" Larry said while creating as much distance between him and Niclas, he would be a dead meat if he catches him.

Niclas rubbed his cheeks harshly, 'getting rid of the kisses'. he looked at them with a glare, But deep down he was happy to see them again, his brothers.

"Brother, i know you are happy to see us, You can hug us more, don't be shy" Neil opened his arms in a teasing manner. They all loved teasing him.

"As if..." Niclas could only scoff, there was nothing he could do. They would only keep on teasing him.

" Enough of the welcome drama, His highness must be waiting for us"

====================================

Inside a room...

The mood inside the room was 100 degrees opposite from their playful character, they all sat round a chair with serious faces, facing the Prince and Elias.

"You lost track of him again" Elias asked, there was pain evident in his voice.

"Am deeply sorry" Niclas looked down in regret, he knew how important it was to Elias.

Derrek clenched his fist tightly, " Is there anything else?"

"Yes, your highness. I have a feeling that something bad is going on at Green hills" he took a deep breath and narrated what had happened to them.

"I have a very bad feeling about that place,the black magic was so strong that i couldn't go further, There is something going on there, which doesn't seem right "

There was total silence in the room...

It seemed that something clicked in their heads, all head snapped towards Niclas.

"Where is Elijah?"
