The Search for Answers: Laurance X Reader Book 2

Chapter 15: ???

Before you ask, yes, the chapter is in Laurance's POV, for specific reasons

I panted, the battle was over, and the guards were cornered. Y/N and Aphmau stood over them, glaring at anyone who dared move. I smiled, she was dangerous, but very cute at the same time.

"So." Aphmau said, putting her sword away, and turning to look at me. "What next?"

I shrug. "Let's quickly figure out what happened to Y/N's father, and get out of here fast."

"Right." Y/N looks a little disconcerted at the fact she might be able to find out the truth very soon.

"It'll be fine." I whisper to her, and then start out of the room. Aphmau and Garroth follow me quickly, but Y/N hesitates for a moment longer. I stop.

"Y/N. Are you okay?" I say, concerned.

"I... I just don't know." She shakes her head. "I just keep..."

I frown. "What?"

"Having these weird... I don't know if you'd call them visions."

"Visions?" Aphmau asks.

"Let's go." Y/N says abruptly.

We all exchange looks before running after her.

***

We sneak through the castle, jumping at the slightest movement. Even though it's the middle of the night, some guards are still awake and patrolling. Y/N hasn't said a word since the incident, while the rest of us plan and discuss. She should be part of this, it's her father.

"Come on Y/N. What suggestions do you have?" I ask.

"Zane's study." She says, without a second doubt.

"Might work. He likes to keep information close." Garroth says.

"Let's do it." Aphmau agrees.

A group of guards rounds the corner suddenly, and we all dive into cover, I fling myself behind a crate, praying to Lady Irene that they won't think to look at it. I breath a silent sigh of relief as they pass. I gesture to the others, and they nod. Garroth, knowing this place the best, leads the way to Zane's study. I notice Y/N wincing every once and while, but I don't question her again.

We soon find ourselves inside his study, and start quietly going through the drawers. Y/N stands on her own, shaking her head. She's breathing heavily.

"Y/N?" I whisper.

"This isn't right." She mutters, holding her head. "No."

"What do you mean?" I desperately shake her, but she doesn't see me.

"Laurance!" She gasps, and nearly falls over. "I don't know what to do!"

"It's alright!" I whisper shout, aware that guards might find us.

"Y/N, tell us what you saw." Aphmau says firmly.

"It was my father... And darkness..." She trembles, obviously shaken up.

"Your father is dead Y/N. It's alright."

"No! It isn't" She suddenly screeches. And then she runs away. I quickly step forwards to stop her, but Aphmau holds me back.

"The guards are going to kill her!" I say, frantic.

"Right now, something serious is going on. Laurance, you have to concentrate." Garroth says.

"We don't know what happened to Y/N, but right now, we need to figure out what actually happened!"

"That doesn't affect us!" I shout.

"Yes it does, and it will affect everyone if we don't do something!"

"What do you mean?" I say.

"Something bad is happening Laurance. I can feel it." Aphmau says, and something stops me from arguing.

"You go find Y/N, and be careful. We'll stay here, find the information and hold off the guards."

I nod mutely, and run. The dark castle walls surround me, and I need to call out for Y/N, but I can't.

Something has happened to Y/N.
