The Dark Prince

Chapter 17: searching race

Chapter 17



















Princes POV after Andy left.










"Wanna go train?" Gage asked walking in. Ari was behind him holding a axe. " I nodded and suited up. Just a tight black shirt, sleeveless with some armor built in. I grabbed my weapons bag and followed ari to the training room. We entered a huge room with many stations with different types of weapons. My favorite is man to man combat but my favorite weapon is a my silver combat sword. I don't remember what it's called but ari calls it Vic. "Let's start over there with the In training soldiers." Gage said picking up his weapon of choice. A spear and Ari's is a long sword. We walked over to the train soldiers. They were all 16-20. "Commander on deck!" One yelled and they saluted us. "At ease." Gage said and walked to the group with spears. There was five groups there. Spears, swords, bow and arrows, caltrop, and hidden blades. Ari took over the catltrop and bow and arrow. I took over swords and hidden blades.




"Now everyone knows the basics right?" I asked them. Girls shrugged and boys nodded. "Don't think of it as a weapon, but a extend of your arm. It's deadly, sharp, and powerful if you know how to use it." I explained. A boy glared at me with a dark look. I noticed his k-9 popping out. He's a vampire? Or a freak? "What are you looking at!" He yelled. I looked down on him. Literally. "What are you?" I asked firmly. He bared his teeth. "Im nothing!" He growled. I watched as something twitched in his pants. Behind him jeez. I looked closer at him. His eyes were a pale green with strange pupils. He has weird finger nails and weird ears. He narrowed his eyes at me and growled. "Very well then." I said and told everyone to find a partner their size.




"What's you name?" I asked the strange boy. "Daryl." He said. He had shortish brown hair. He had sorta a country accent. "Looks like you don't have a partner. I'll be yours." I said just so I could fight him. "Now grab a wooden sword." I said to him picking up a wooden one. He grabbed one and looked at me. "Fight me as you would an enemy." I told him. He smirked and lunged at me. I dodged and strikes at him. "One to zero." I said. "What!" Daryl said. "I hit you with my sword. Your dead. I gain one point." I said and prepared again. "Go!" So done said. Daryl and I curled one another. "Go prince!" I heard ari yell. Daryl lunged but I slipped under his legs and quickly stood up. Daryl turned but instead of using his sword he tackled me. He tried to wrestle me. I twisted him and flipped him onto his stomach and put my sword to his neck. "I win."




"Now let's do some races!" Gage said. I nodded and helped Daryl up. "Any advice?" I offered. "Sure." He said rubbing his neck. "Don't lunged into it face first nor sword. Act as if you are going for their leg but your really going for their chest." I said as we walked outside into a field. A girl jumped onto a guys back and kissed his cheek. I wish Andy was here. "That makes sense." Daryl said. I nodded and patted his back. "How old are you?" I asked him. "17. You?" He said. "Almost 20 in December. So in 2 months" I said as we walked outside. I just realized Halloween was next week. "Don't you have a girlfriend. Alex?" He asked. "Andy. Yeah." I said smiling. "How old is she?" He asked. "17 but she turns 18....on Halloween. Crap!" I said realizing it. Amber told me a month ago! God what should I get her! "Oh I see your getting a younger girl eh!" Daryl said smiling and winked at me jokingly.




"I got it!" I said knowing what to get her. I'll take her out to dinner the. Then we can do what she wants then go to her favorite band concert. I hope it'll work...well knowing Andy it will. I put everyone in three lines. Gage was a lot further down. They had to run to him and back. It was a girl with long sandy blonde hair vs a small boy with red hair and a brown haired boy. "Ready...." I said they leaned down in a runners position. "Set..." I said. The girl smirked. "Go!" They dashed off. The red headed boy took the lead but when the turn came the girl took the lead. "Go Alex!" "Come on Shawn." "Run faster Chris!" The others cheered. Alex crossed the finish line and then brown haired one then red. They went though the lines at least three times until Daryl walked up to me. "Prince wanna race?" He challenged. "Challenge accepted." I said and the crowd went crazy.




"On your mark." Ari said. I leaned down and was ready. "Get set." Daryl leaned down too. "Go!" I took off and raced down to gage. I didn't see Daryl until I turned around. He was right behind me until I took off again I ran as fast as I could and crossed the finish line. "Damn!" Daryl said as he followed me. "It's getting dark we should head inside." Ari said. We went inside and sent them home and went to the game room. Jordan was there with ken and we just played. "Wow guys it's two in the morning." Ari yawned. I looked at the clock and my eyes widened. "Where are the girls then?" I said and stood up. We walked down stairs to the entrance. Then we walked everywhere and no girls. "They haven't even come home yet." Ken said. "I can't smell any fresh scent of them. Prince did they call? Text? Anything?" Ken counties and started getting a bit worried. "Ken it's ok. We'll find them."




"Let's just walk around the village and see if we can find them." I said and grabbed a jacket and dagger. I grabbed my phone and we headed put. Ken kept sniffing everything. "Let's check the dress store." Jordan said as we came up to it. We looked around. "Three girls came in early in the morning they stayed for a very long time. They left about 10pm and I think headed to a bar." The clerk said to us. "Thank you." We said and walked outside to the nearest bar. "I can smell Kira's scent....now Andy's! And some guy." Ken said then growled. "What?" Gage asked him. "I smell a poison in Melody's scent." Ken said and sniffed a seat. "Andy sat there and some guy there and Kira there." Ken said pointing to seats. "Excuse me was there a blonde and a kajit here earlier?" Ari asked the bar tendered. "Well there was two blondes and a kajit and some guy with sandy blonde hair." He said cleaning a cup.




"Do you know where they went or headed?"I asked. "Um no but you can check the scrutiny cameras prince." He said and pointed to a door. "Thank you." I said and headed back to the door. We walked inside and turned on the replay from today. We skipped until three people walked out. Kira and Andy leaned on melody. They walked a little bit then melody drops them. Her eyes turned purple and she mumbled something. A man walked up to her and put two fingers on her forehead. "Good slave. Sleep." He said and her body hit the floor hard. He walked over to Andy and kira. He bent down and faced Andy. "Ah by the smell of your breath your wasted." He said. He just stared at her. "Andy cattail you might want to sober up for this." He pulled out duck tape and tapped all of their mouths. He put cuffs on their ankles and hands even Kira's tail. "I hope you ready for a long ride." He said and picked them up and carried them to a car. One by one then drove off. "I'm going to kill him."
