The King

It Hurts

Kaolin was the first to notice Kara was missing, when she didn't come to the kitchen that morning, he went up to her room to check on her, she wasn't there. He searched her mum's room. He searched everywhere. There was no sign of her, he panicked. Did she run, or did something else happen? He was leaning more towards the latter. Kaolins first thought was the king, it was early in the morning, the king would be sleeping, he'd just have to wake him.

"Sire!" Kaolin yelled, knocking profusely on the king's door. "Sire!" He yelled again. When he got no answer, he just opened the door, charging into the room, and as he figured, Kara wasn't in there with him.

"Sire!" Kaolin yelled frantically.

"What is it Kaolin?" The king asked, still half asleep.

"Kara's gone" Kaolin said. The king shot up in bed.

"What?" He asked, giving Kaolin a confused look.

"She's gone, I searched the whole castle...she's gone" Kaolin rushed out.

"That's impossible...I just saw her an hour ago," the king said, getting out of bed to walk over to Kaolin, "why would she leave?"

"What if she didn't leave on her will?" Kaolin asked.

"Are you suggesting that she was...taken?" The king asked, pacing around the room. "Who would take her?"

"I have no idea..." Kaolin said, watching the king move around the room.

"What do we do?!" The king asked, his voice getting higher with each word he spoke.

"I don't know, Sire" Kaolin said.

"We have...we-I have to do something" Ed said, his voice cracking.

"We will, Sire. We will" Kaolin said, walking up to Ed, he reached out to put a hand on his shoulder, but the king jumped away.

"No, Kaolin," he king roared, "if she was taken by someone, we need to get her back."

"I know, Sire. But there is nothing we can do if we don't know who took her!" Kaolin yelled.

"Then we must find out" the king said through his teeth. Before he whipped around, throwing a vase at the wall, it shattered, the pieces falling to the ground with a smashing noise.

"Sire!" Kaolin yelled. "We will find her, but you have to calm down!" Kaolin said, walking over to the king, who was breathing so heavily, he sounded like he'd just ran eight miles.

"If you touch me...I swear I will lock you in the cells" the king growled.

"Sire..." Kaolin said.

"Gather the knights, get out and look for her" the king mumbled, resting his hands on the table.

"Are you sure, Sire?" Kaolin asked.

"Yes! Kaolin, fucking do it!" King Edward yelled.

"Alright, Sire" Kaolin said, running out of the room.

The king sat down at the table, putting his head in his hands. Kara's mum walked into the kings chambers.

"What's going on, Sire?" He asked, angrily.

"Not now, ma'am" the king mumbled into his hands.

"I have a right to know what's going on, she is my daughter!" Kelly yelled. *thats Kara's mums name. Lol*

"I know, ma'am, but we do not know anything" the king said, head still in his hands.

"Will you look at me goddamnit!" She screamed, the king jumped up out of his chair, angry, frustrated and worried. Not a good combination for him.
