Chapter 18: Hunting

Ace

All of us just came back from the waste of time of a meeting and now we had to finish what started. The maids all crowded in the kitchen as if a killer was on the loose roaming freely. I didn't pay them much mind seeing my answers were answered as Arthur marched in through the garden followed by a slam from the door. "Fuck man! I'm going to fucking kill that bitch!" He made a tight fist before punching the wall.

"Who are you referring to?" He tensed and turned towards me slowly. I eyed him waiting for a response.

He glared "I don't see how that's any of your concern pretty boy! Mind your own fucking business and stay the fuck out of my way!" He pushed past me in a hurry. I had better things to do than deal with his animalistic behavior.

It was then Later that afternoon Arthur kept running around looking under the couches like he had lost a wallet. The others made jokes and that resulted in him threatening everyone. He went in and out the house so much the door was creaking. His anger wasn't a normal thing but he was off - constantly searching for something or someone - every object he came into contact with was tossed or semi-destroyed. My eyes shifted upstairs and so I knew exactly where to go, to the prisoner's room. The door swung open to an empty bed. She didn't sleep here last night. I examined the window but it was locked and it's far too high to jump down. The bathroom was examined next, her toothbrush was damp and the sink was recently used. The maid was corridor was filled with a couple of women but not her. Anger boiled through me as I went downstairs.

Arthur made his appearance back in the kitchen. "Where's the girl?"

He turned around angry himself. "I assigned her to go do something. Stop busting my balls! Go take your pretty ass outside do whatever the fuck you need to!"

"That's not what I asked. Where. Is. The Fucking. Girl!" The maids there were once in the kitchen scurried out.

"You!" He pointed to the chubby redhead "Tell him where she is!" He demanded

She started shaking "S-she's in her R-room. I mean she S-should be in T-there!" She stuttered avoiding my gaze. She was lying. She knows something.

"You act as if you're getting paid for the level of idiocy you hold," I chuckled lowly "I'm sure Lucius would LOVE to see this supposed location she's in,"

"Don't question me Brit! Go make some fucking tea and stop worrying about me like we're fucking married! I know where she is and my behavior doesn't concern the likes of you so go fuck off!" He pushed past me going out to the garden.

I eyed the maid who was visibly shaking, scared for her life. She quickly scurried off before I could question her. "Did any of you see where the girl went?" All of the maids shook their heads. I pushed my tongue to the roof of my mouth before leaving to the other rooms. All rooms I checked were either empty or being cleaned and the girl was in none of them. And I know damn well she didn't just walk out through the front, that would be suicidal for her.

I felt that dark and sinister presence behind me, recognizing it almost immediately "One of the maids informed me of Arthur's behavior. She said he was searching for something while being in a blinding rage. Where is the girl?" He snarled

"I've been looking but there is no sign of her... so it's obvious she's not here," I informed searching for something that shows how she got out.

"Percy, go fetch him and put him in the torture room have someone accompany you if needed. I'll join in a minute. Ace go inform the others and form a search party. I want her found immediately but most importantly I want her fucking alive! Failure to do so will result in everyone getting fucked up!"  He ordered loud enough for everyone that was within range.
