The Ties that Bind us

The Kidnapping

Dak and Leyla were both still in the ship that took them, Dak started stirring away and looked around the area. He was 99.8% sure he went to sleep in his room but now he was in the bottom of a ship with his twin sleeping beside him. "What the-." Dak asks himself, turning to his twin, "Leyla! Wake up!"

"Dak I thought we talked about you waking me up?" Leyla asks her twin, "So why are you in my room?"

"First I think you'll forgive me this time." Dak responds, "and second, you aren't in your room."

Leyla sits up, opening her eyes looking around the ship, "What the heck?" Leyla asks turning to her twin, "What did you do?"

"Wha- I didn't kidnap us." Dak yells.

"You never know." Leyla mutters, "Anyways where are we?"

"Why are you asking me!" Dak yells.

"I don't know, maybe because you're the only other person in the room!" Leyla yells back.

"Excuse, excuse." Dak mutters.

"You're lucky we're tied up, or else I'd punch you." Leyla tells her brother.

"No you wouldn't!" Dak yells.

"Oh really!" Leyla yells.

The two of them continue arguing, but shortly stop after they hear someone start walking down the stairs. "Whose that?" Dak whispers.

"I have no clue." Leyla responds.

The person walks in front of the two kids, "It's amazing how much you two act like your parents, especially since they didn't even raise you." Savage tells the two of them.

"What are you talking about?" Dak asks.

"Don't play dumb." Savage responds.

"He doesn't really have to pretend." Leyla cuts in.

"Oh so much like her," Savage laughs, "You both know why there's a bounty."

"Not really." Dak responds.

"Is this how others feel when we talk to each other?" Leyla asks.

"I think so." Dak responds, "At least Duggard and Elbone."

"Yeah." Leyla responds, "most definitely."

"What are you guys talking about?" Savage asks.

"You're still here?" Leyla asks.

"Yes, I didn't leave." Savage responds.

"I thought you did." Dak responds, "You're very forgettable." Both of the twins burst out laughing at the man's face.

"I'd like to agree brother." Leyla laughs, "Extremely forgettable. Anyways, Dak-."

"What?" Savage asks.

"I'm sure there is someone else here you can talk with." Leyla tells the man.

"Unless it was just you making all that noise upstairs." Dak adds. Savage walks away from the two twins who started laughing at him again.

"Too much like their father." Savage mutters walking back up the stairs.

"Thank Thor thought he was never going to leave." Leyla whispers to her brother untieing the ropes around her arms.

"How'd you do that?" Dak asks after seeing his twin easily escape from the ties.

"Merana, taught me." Leyla responds, "Last time we dealt with Waldondo."

"Untie me?" Dak asks.

"Fine," Leyla responds, kneeling down to untie her twins hands. The two of them started looking around the lower part of the ship, "Let's look around."
