Captured Chapter Twelve

      Avaele clutched onto Christopher, and he moved her to be behind him, protectively. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Christopher." the man said in the typical 'bad guy' tone. "What are you still doing in Cauprom?" "None of your beeswax." Christopher shot back. The men started laughing at his response. Avaele giggled ," You stole that from me." Instantly the man snapped his eyes towards Avaele. "And who's the girl?" he asked menacingly. Christopher's jaw clenched ,"No one."

      Two of the men grabbed Christopher and shoved him to the ground. The other men grabbed Avaele and sat her against the wall. Christopher tried to get out of their grasp before, but they squeezed his arm and the pain was too much.

      Avaele was scared out of her mind, hoping that it was a dream, and that it would go away. But it didn't. The men started to kick Christopher over and over again, not even stopping to rest their legs. "Stop it! No!" Avaele shouted. The men just ignored her.

      Tears were streaming down her face. She looked away, anywhere but Christopher. "What's wrong? Remember, your next." the man said, threatening her. "Don't touch her Alex." Christopher said, weakly. The men stopped kicking Christopher and watched Avaele. She stood up. "Alex, stop this now." she demanded.

      "Who's going to stop me?" he said taking a step towards her. Avaele stood her ground. She glared at him and pulled off her shawl. The men looked shocked, but they bowed to the princess of Cauprom. "I'm sorry princess. I didn't know." Alex stuttered.

      "What was the purpose of this?" she demanded, still mad. "To get you to rule." Alex answered. Avaele was instantly confused. One of the other men spoke up," Why are you, the daughter of the rulers of Cauprom, with the son of the ruler of Soleil?"

       Avaele snapped her eyes to Christopher, her jaw dropped open. A million thoughts zoomed through her head. ' Why didn't he tell me? Is that where he's taking me, Soleil?! Is this about ruling Feirruh?! i thought he cared about me- no, he does! I still have to help him, but how? I think he's okay, just his arm really hurts. I have to answer the man's question. Umm... Oh! Here's a good one!'

      "Oh, uh, we are civily discussing who should rule, and we came to ask my friend for advice." She said, hoping that they would buy it. "Oh, okay." they said. "I'm sorry about Christopher. We'll carry him to the doctor. The men picked Christopher up, carefully, bringing him to the doctor, with Avaele silently following behind them.
