Dunkim

Chapter 22

Hey guys! You guys are the best! So many views! So many!

Hannah's POV

The plan would happen today. I was playing a elven maid. I did my hair so that it hid my non-pointy ears. Getting into the castle was a lot easier then I expected it to be. Soon we were walking through the castles winding passageways.

After what seemed like an age, we finally reached the door that Rowan was behind. I knocked on the door and Rowan opened it. She looked at us for a second, puzzled. I looked over my shoulder and pulled back my hair, revealing my non-pointy ears. I only let my ear into sight for a second, but Rowan say it.

"Hi guys." She whispered as quietly Ashe could, opening the door wider and allowing them to come in. I quickly filled her in on how this is happening. Then I went over to the window and did the signal to the parkourers.

Duncan's POV

I had parkoured into in the trees that were just outside Rowan's window. There I saw Lewis. We waited silently in the trees for Hannah's signal. Then we heard it.

"OMG it looks as though this hasn't been dusted in a billion years!" I smiled to myself. Simon thought of that signal. Then Lewis and I parkoured to the window ledge.

"Hi Rowan." I said reaching out my hand. Rowan took it and I told her "Hold on tightly and what ever you do don't let go." Rowan squeezed my hand even tighter. I jumped back onto the tree and let go of her hand. I texted Kim and Simon, who where our look outs

D: We got Rowan. All clear?

K: All good in my section. Simon?

S: All clear.

D: Great. Be right there.

I put my phone away and turned to the group.

"All clear. Lets go." I held out my hand for Rowan and she gripped it tightly. I brought her back to the ground and saw Kim. She had a cloak in her hand which she handed to Rowan.

"Here. Don't forget the hood." She said as Rowan put it on. Rowan smiled and put up the hood. The cloak was black with a tiny bit of green.

"Ready?" I asked Rowan. Turning towards her.

"As ready as I'll ever be." She replied taking one last look at the castle. Sighing she turned back towards the forest. "Let's go then. I can't wait to be where I belong."

"This is where you belong, Rowina." I tensed and, turning around, saw Akio with about three dozen guards. 

"Run Rowan, run!" I yelled standing between her and Akio. "If you want her you have to go through us." And everyone else joined us standing in Akio's way.

"Ha! No I don't." Akio said. For a second I was confused until I saw that there were guards behind us. Wow. We are so blind. The guards grabbed us from behind and we couldn't do anything about it.

Rowan's POV

Duncan told me to run and I did. I knew that Akio was there and I had no wish to see him. Ever. I was unlucky. I felt guards grab me from behind and, even though I struggled, their grip was tight and I got nowhere.

The guards brought me back to the castle. To my dismay, on the way there I saw that Akio had taken everyone else prisoners.

I felt so bad. Why did I let them do this? I am so selfish. I didn't want ot do something and I put my friends in danger. I was also very angry.

I knew that it would be hard and I would have to get hurt in the process, but I was saving my friends and I would tell them to leave and never come back. Not even for me.

I couldn't run. It was impossible. There was no hope. None at all. I was going to have to marry Akio and I wasn't going to do it looking at the floor regrtting my choices. I was going to do with my head held high like the girl I was born to be.

Duncan's POV

The others and I were locked in the dungeons. I felt bad. If I fought better, Rowan wouldn't be here in the first place. And we would be with Tiddles and Billy, not in a elven dungeon.

I also felt bad for Martyn, I knew that he had feelings for Rowan. And now he had to watch her marry and be unhappy all of her life. And that must be torutre for him. 

Tiddles's POV

Ok this is ridiculous! Where are they!?

"Meow. Meow. Purrrr. Meow!!!" I said angrily. I'm hungry. Now where are the kitty crunchies? I'm hungry.

That was sad. For Tiddles. Poor her she is alone and slightly hungry. Oh yea and poor everyone esle. But Tiddles.
