The Return Of The Emerald Secret (Zane Ro'meave)

~ Chapter 7 ~

T.W mentions of blood, syringe usage (if that triggers anyone.

~  Zane's POV ~

I remember one day Aphmau told me about her father, dark hair, brown eyes, she told me his name was Zachary, the reason her father was out of her life was because he was cheating on Sylvanna with- surprisingly- Katelyn's mother, Elizabeth.
"I remember one day my dad introduced Liz to my mom, she looked just like Katelyn." She chuckled to her self while she was fidgeting with her hair, "Blue hair, Blue eyes, Kate has her Mother's eyes, that's for sure." She looked up at me "apparently Liz and my dad had a child, I guess I have a sibling, don't i?"
She sighed, leaning back on the couch "mom never told me who he or she was, or maybe she doesn't know, I hope I get to meet them one day, I hope we'll get along and talk and laugh like I do with you." She smiled at me and pulls me into a hug-

"Zachary?" I'm still shocked to see Aph's father here, I turn to look at Ein but he doesn't meet my gaze, he looks down at his feet while shuffling them "how do you know me?" He tightens his grip on my arm and his nails dig deep into my skin "wouldn't you like to know" I wince as his grip goes tighter and blood draws from my arm "enough Zach" I look over at Elizabeth, she really does look like Katelyn "we can interrogate him later, if we stay here too long his friends might track their way here" she fills a syringe with a clear substance and gives it to Zachary in his free hand, "where you're going" the white haired man chuckled, "you're friends will never find you". That's all I remember after feeling a pain in my shoulder, then it all went black

                                  ~ Kim's POV ~
I was never close to Zane as Garroth was, we never hung out just the two of us, never chatted without Garroth or Lucinda with us, we just said 'Hello' and made small talk whenever we saw each other. But still, even if I don't know him, I'm still worried for him. We've been walking for 1 hour and I'm worried we're too late, "We're almost there" "Garroth, you've been saying that for the last hour, I appreciate that you're trying to stay optimistic, but we've still got half an hour left to go" Lucinda was right, I think Garroth is in some sort of shock, he did this back in the lodge too, always staying optimistic for the rest of us, always being ma shoulder to lean on, but I think this time, he needs us more than we need him.

As soon as we enter the cabin, (By Garroth breaking down the door of course) we knew that we were too late, there were water near the door and footsteps on the floor that lead to the couch and fire place, Lucinda assigned places to look at, I would check the rooms, Laurance would check the kitchen, and Garroth and Lucinda would check around the house and living room (which was where the fireplace was). It took about 20 minutes of searching, until I heard Lucinda scream from the living room, I drop the mugs I've been holding, I didn't care that they shattered in the floor, my friend could be in danger! "Lucinda! What's wrong? Are you okay? Is Garroth okay? Did you find anyt-" I look to where stes staring and gasp. A needle, shattered potion bottle, and a note. I carefully picked it up and read it out loud "I have your friend, if you want him back, you're going to have to get him yourselves" I see Garroth on the verge of tears, so I do what any good friend would do and I hugged him, he started crying into my sweater but I didn't care at the moment, I was more focused on Garroth. Once we broke from the hug, I felt ghost take over

I'm assuming he was injected with a potion, he's fat away from here, I can try to use my magic to find him, it may take a while

"Thank you ghost" Lucinda spoke up since no one said anything else, "ghost can work her magic and we can continue searching, well take a break after we found everything we can use as evidence

                                 

Sorry to end it on a weird place, and I'm sorry for updating so late. I keep making promises that I can't keep and I'm so sorry for that. I won't say when I'll update, but the timing won't be months. Maybe a week, but not long. I'll make sure to keep that promise, have a good night/day.
