Until The End Of Our Days

Canceled

Chapter 4

Juleka's older brother stood in front of the door of the church with Nathaniel's mother waiting for news about him. Rose appeared running while holding her dress a bit over her feet to avoid tripping as she sprinted.

"I've seen everywhere, asked random people. No one saw him" Told Rose breathing exhausted.

"Okay maybe the others had luck," Said Luka and Juleka appeared along with Carlo.

"He's not in the bar," Said Carlo. "Shall I talk with the priest?"

"No it's not necessary" Responded Luka.

"He wasn't anywhere to be found," The younger sister told the brother.

"Oh boy," Said Mrs. Kurtzberg frightened. "What could have happened to him?"

"It's strange" Luka admitted and the Rossi's family SUV appeared stopping by the side of them and the door opened so that Mr. Rossi could get out, followed by his daughter and the wife.

"Lila?" Asked Rose. "Have you found him?" Asked Rose earning a head shake of the bride.

"Okay.....Kagami isn't here yet, maybe she found him right?" Asked Rose. Kagami came running in her dress towards the women at the entrance.

"She's coming!" Shouted Rose and from the church, Adrien came out looking at all of the bridesmaids.

"What's taking so long?" Asked Adrien and as Kagami came closer she tripped on her high heels and crashed on Adrien falling on top of his back.

"Ouch!"

"Kagami must have found him. Tell us Kagami! Tell us! Tell us!"

"Not even at his and Lila's favorite spot he was."

"We have to keep looking. He must be somewhere" Lila said helping Kagami up.

"Why is Nathaniel missing?" Asked Adrien.

"We don't know, Carlo told us as he was with Nathaniel down there at the coffee bar he said, that he would be back, but he never came back"

"Oh," Said Adrien. "Couldn't he have eventually....uhm....get away from here to not attend the wedding in someway?"

"I knew he wasn't the right guy for her" Said Mr. Rossi making Lila angry.

"Papa, fermasi!" Lila shouted at her father. "There must be another reason he's not here, maybe he got kidnapped or something bad happened to him. He would never let me down on the happiest day of my life"

"But Lila.....what if he really did?" Asked Carlo. "What if he didn't really want to marry you"

"That doesn't make sense!" Lila said stamping on the ground angrily. "Why would he propose me in the first place?"

"He could have run off, because of being afraid to disappoint mi bambina," Lila's father said getting elbowed by his heir.

"He would never disappoint me and he knows that! He sometimes.....overthinks too much"

"Maybe....he overthought here?" Questioned Carlo. Lila leaned back on the car's door covering her face with her hands, starting to sob.

"Lila everything's gonna be okay," Kagami said quickly placing her arms around the woman for comfort. "Nathaniel probably got too nervous and tried to distract himself of that and.....lost the sense of the time"

"He actually doesn't have a clock on...and he probably didn't take his phone right?" Asked Rose. "That could be the reason this is happening"

"I hope that's true Rose," Lila said with a sob.

"I gotta go to the hotel....and keep my eyes around, maybe I catch him somewhere while I'm on the way"

"Sure," Said Lila's mother and Carlo left quickly leaving the others back.

"Nathaniel would talk with me about when he has got something in his heart, even when it's between us two. If not I noted him on the way he behaves and I'd question him and he would always tell it to me"

"It's kind of weird for Nathaniel to be in trouble," Adrien said wondering while Lila and Kagami looked at him. "He isn't enemy with anyone to be captured in any way"

The door of the church opened again and it was Marinette, who looked out at the others.

"Did Nathaniel really dump Lila?" Asked Marinette looking at the others, causing Lila to cry and get more console from the Japanese woman.

"Uh....it's complicated" Replied Luka unsure. "But without Nathaniel, we can't do the wedding"

"Oh no," Marinette said looking down disappointed.

"I better go in and inform the others," Said Luka entering into the church.

"What happened to Nathaniel?" Asked Marinette the blonde model.

"We don't know anything yet, except he disappeared without saying anything"

"Let's hope he's alright," Said Marinette gazing at the brunette being taken care off by Kagami and Rose, calming her down.

Inside a basement were several little rooms with wooden partition walls installed. In some were old furniture, tires, work tools and other stuff stored in there. On the end of the small corridor next to the door of one of these room's stood a large, empty bookshelf in front of a small gap, that was there between the wall and another room, who stood on the left with its door showing to the long corridor. The lights got turned on in the corridor and a man wearing a dark suit and holding a small water bottle, walking on the floor wearing a dark bonnet over his head. The person pulled the shelf back from the right side to the left slowly, avoiding noises and behind this space was a door like all the others, which were attached to the small, wooden rooms.

The man moved at the door the hook from the loop, which kept the door locked and he got into the room to see at the wall Nathaniel Kurtberg lied on the wall having his eyes closed. The man looked around then found on the ground two pet bowls attached to each other and one of the bowls was filled with dog food covered with a brown jelly. On the other bowl, the man filled in the water, then heard a yawn causing him a shock and place the bottle next to the bowl and ran out of the room, closing the door and pushing the furniture back at the door.

Nathaniel opened his eyes, then looked around and got shocked as he saw, where he was.

"Where am I?" Asked Nathaniel himself, then as he tried to get up he fell down on the hard floor. "Ouch, what's on my feet?" Nathaniel asked himself and looked back at his feet to see chain tied around his legs. "What the hell?" Asked Nathaniel and looked around the room, noting the dog food and the water in front of him. Nathaniel furrowed his eyebrow at the sight and wide his eyes as he found out, what was happening to him.

"Kim I know you did this to me and it's not funny!" Hissed Nathaniel. "Lila will be angry if she finds out what you did!"

Nathaniel's eyebrows sank down as he realized no one had heard him. "Help me! I have to get out of here! Guys! Adrien! Luka! Help me!!!!!" Exclaimed Nathaniel nearly breaking down. No one could hear him, not his friends nor anyone else. "Ugh Kim if I die, I'm going to kill you!" Shouted Nathaniel angrily. "Wahhhhhhh!" Nathaniel kept crying hoping for anyone to hear him, but no matter how long he tried, no one came and Nathaniel ended up losing his senses.
