Midnight Returns Part 1 Sequel to The Battle Of The Dark Light And Midnight

Chapter Five: Welcome Back

"Where to," Sally asked as they walked. "Once we set out."

"North," Elisabeth said. "We should go north. I heard someone may have sighted them there."

The two sisters walked towards the port. As they got closer they could see all the ships there. One of the ships, however, looked like it had just arrived, but it looked different than the rest.

"You don't think." Elisabeth started.

"Oh, I do," Sally said. "That's them."

They both took out their swords and ran towards the ships.

"You watch the ship," Quincy said to the men on the deck. "If Allen and I will be back in a few hours."

Allen and Quincy began to walk towards the castle.

"What if they don't help us?" Allen said. "I mean, we are pirates."

They both chuckled.

"Well," Quincy said. "I heard the Alexander is king now, so he may have given us a pardon. If he didn't, as you said, we are parties, we get it one way or the other."

As the walked they saw two women running down the path holding swords. They got closer, and one of them looked at them suspiciously. They got within ten feet of them then stopped.

"Hello," Quincy said. "Is there something we can do for you?"

"where are you heading to?" The older one asked.

"We wish to see the king," Aleen said walking closer to two women. "It is of the utmost importance."

Then the younger one walked right up to Allen and looked at him intently. After a few moments went by she walked over to the older one, and said something into her ear.

"What do you think," Quincy asked. "Do you think they know who we are."

"Well," Allen began. "I feel like I have seen them before, but I'm not sure."

As if on cue the two girls had swords to their necks.

"I guess they know," Quincy said. "Who are you."

"My name is Elisabeth." She began.

"And I am Sally." She said. "We are princesses of the Light Kingdom, and I do believe our brother will want to see you. Now start walking."

"Well," Alexander said. "If it would be to your liking, you can stay here in the castle."

"Are you sure?" Jacob asked after swallowing his food. "I am not of nobility."

"Does that matter?" Alex asked kindly. "What else would you have me do? Send you out onto the streets with no home to go back to? You will stay here with us."

"I don't know what to say," Jacob said. "Thank you. Thank you so much. I hope that someday I can repay you."

Alex smiled and patted Jacob on the back.

"Don't worry about that," Alex said. "Right now, finish your food."

Jacob began eating again while Alex was reading some papers. Suddenly, the door burst open to show Elisabeth and Sally with two men.

"Alex," sally began. "You said you wanted to talk with captain Quincy. Well, here he is."

"You wanted to speak with me?" Quincy asked. "And here I almost thought you had forgotten us."

Alex got up from his chair and looked at the two men.

"I wish to talk with them alone," Alex said. "I have some things I need to ask them."

Elisabeth and Sally let them go and walked out. Jacob got up and walked towards the door. He walked by Allen and he stopped. Allen and Jacob looked at each other for a few moments then Jacob walked away. The door closed and it was just the three of them.

"So," Alex began. "What to talk about first."
