(Ok I really like the idea I had for this chapter and I hope you enjoy it too! I'm having a bit of a break from Simon, Lewis, Hannah and Duncan and I'm going to write about ITLD! This is taking place a few days before Hannah got kidnapped. Here we go!)

*A few days before the kidnapping of Hannah*

Martyn's POV:

I walked in the beautiful flower filled meadow my hand in Kaeyi's. They were as soft as silk and warm and comforting. Her head was on my shoulders and I felt safe and loved. The flowers in the meadow were of the brightest of colours and nearly as pretty as the girl beside me. The vibrant colours dazzled my eyes and it was confusing to be in a such strange place that was still so beautiful. Ever since I met Kaeyi my life had been changed for the better and it was made even greater when we had both been given jobs at Yoglabs. These were the parts which I cherished most though, when I could have a break from work and live a good life with the perfect girl. We were surrounded by tall trees which loomed over the small, yet beautiful meadow. The sun beat down on us as we walked through pure colour. I looked off into the dark trees and thought I saw something. A figure. I looked away and then when I looked back it was gone. My eyes must be playing tricks on me. However much this place is beautiful it also is mysterious, sometimes frightening.

We stopped walking once we reached the middle of the meadow and sat down. We had brought a picnic with us and we thought it would be a good idea to eat here. I got out some plates and we tucked into the delicious food we had brought in the basket. We sat talking and joking while eating our food; having a wonderful time. Then I saw it again. A figure. This time in the trees behind Kaeyi. I stared at the unmoving figure, entranced. "Is everything alright Martyn?" I was brought back to earth by Kaeyi's voice.

"Yes I'm fine."

" Are you sure?"

"Pretty sure." I say with a smile.

We pack up the leftovers and plates and begin walking in the meadow once more.

Kaeyi's POV:

Martyn seemed distracted. He looked worried almost scared. He was staring into nothingness. "Is everything alright Martyn?" I ask him.

He blinks a few times and says "Yes I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Pretty sure." He says smiling. After we pack up we begin to walk through the bright flowers once more. My hand is in his and I feel happy. I look into the trees and see something. A dark figure. I feel worried almost scared. I began to feel faint as I continue to look at the figure. I here a voice in my head, a voice I feel I know. "Curiosity killed the cat, Kaeyi." The world began to grow darker and the sun began to fade. I began to fade. I felt heavy, like stone. My body began to shake. I was in my own world now. Alone with a mysterious figure. "You invaded into my world a happy couple but you will not leave." The voice says. The figure moves closer, closer, ever closer. A thudding enters my head getting louder, louder, ever louder. I n the distance I hear another voice, Martyn's voice. "Kaeyi! Kaeyi! Kaeyi are you ok."

"I'm fine Martyn. I'm right here." I say

"Kaeyi! Please open your eyes! Talk to me Kaeyi, PLEASE TALK!"

The figure is very close to me now. I see he is a man. He pulls down his dark hood and I see who the mysterious figure is "But how...?" I say with a quiver in my voice. His eyes glow and my body gently lifts up into the air. My throat begins to close and I start to choke. He laughs as he looks into my dying eyes. My body starts shaking violently. "KAEYI!!!!! Martyn screams my name! I open my eyes. Martyn is above me with eyes filled with tears looking down on me. I sit up and his arms wrap around me. "I though I lost you he says."

"What do you mean? I was here all along with you. Wasn't I?"

"No you fell down and started shaking."

"Someone wants us dead!" I shout.

I remember seeing the figure but can't remember who was beneath the hood. Dark clouds began to form over head and drops of rain began to fall. "We need to leave right now, this place isn't safe." Martyn helped me to my feet and we both ran leaving the wicker picnic basket in the brightly coloured meadow as more rain fell.

Martyn's POV:

Our feet pounded against the hard ground. We were lost in the forest, the tall, dark trees looming above our heads. If the sun had been shining it would be hidden from sight by the canopy above us. We ran passed the trunks of many trees taking deep, heavy breaths. Screeching sounds begin to start behind me. I look over my shoulder and see the figure I saw before teleporting towards us leaving purple smoke every time he vanishes and reappears. We continue to run through the dark forest trees. We run into a clearing and the sound behind us goes away. "Martyn I'm scared." Kaeyi says as she turns to face me.

I grab her hands and look into her eyes "Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let anything happen to you."

I kiss her and find a bit of hope in this deep, dark forest. Kaeyi pulls away and the ground next to us blows up. Kaeyi screams and buries herself in my chest. I put my arms around as tears begin to form once again in my eyes. I sniff them back. I need to stay strong for Kaeyi. I can't let her lose hope of surviving. The ground erupts and we are knocked onto the floor. A laugh comes from the trees near us and it circles around the entire clearing. Kaeyi is still crying into my chest. "Please leave us alone"" I shout into the darkness. "Please just give us a chance to leave!"

"You should not have came here in the first place" A voice calls back.

"Why are you trying to kill us!" I shout.

"Revenge. You were part of the team. You let her die! You didn't save her! You didn't even try!" The voice shouts back.

"What do you mean!?"

"I have no need for this conversation! I will not kill you, but I won't let you leave. You will stay in this world forever!"

Kaeyi pulls away from me and looks into my eyes, her hands in mine. Tears stream from her eyes. "I love you." She says sweetly. "You made my life complete. You made my life mean something."

"I love you too. I'm sorry I failed you." I say and begin to cry.

"You didn't fail. You held of the inevitable for as long as you could."

I look down to the floor. She pulls up my head and looks into my eyes. A blast of magic hits us and my body freezes. Stone begins to encase our legs and the last thing I see is Kaeyi's beautiful face. Then everything went black.

(I'm soooo sorry. Not Kaeyi and Martyn!! Don't worry though when I write the next story-Yes I will be writing a sequel-they will have a bigger part.
