A Dark Knight

6.Kidnapped

I woke up in a room with white stone walls. I was lying on a bed of straw and I was wearing soft white robes. My whole body hurt and when I looked at my arms they were red and burnt. I still couldn't see properly but my vision was improving. It also hurt to breathe. I didn't have a clue  where I was.

The door burst open and Niall ran in, closely followed by Clara. They smiled when they saw me.

"I thought you were dead!" exclaimed Clara. "Are you alright?" I nodded. Niall added with a sad look. "I'm really sorry about your mother. After I brought you out, the house collapsed!" The two of them hugged me which really hurt but I didn't mind.

"Where are we? Where are the others?" I asked. A horrible thought came to my mind. The two of them looked at each other. Clara answered,

"Well... We are in Lord Ozzie's... basement. He said we could use it because the men who were injured got treated first. And the others....." she swallowed. "Well when one of the Dundalk men came running from the burning building the enemy fled.... with Taylor and Lady Caroline as hostages... Ruth and Kelsey went to save Taylor, and Emma and Eve went to save their mother...."

I couldn't believe it. I got to my feet and nearly fell back down as wave of dizziness spread over me but, Niall and Clara made sure I didn't fall. Charlie came in with a blue cotton outfit in his arms. "Lord Ozzie requested that you wear this Jade." he said handing it to me. "He says that this would be softer than wearing armour just after you burning your skin. But don't worry if you feel ridiculous! He gave all of us one so if we went on missions near fire it wouldn't melt it would just burn and if we went in water we wouldn't sink. Mine's red though!"

He handed Niall a green one and Clara a white one. We changed into it. It was a soft cotton tunic that was a lot more comfortable and lighter than the armour. We had a belt for our weapons.(I had my sword and chain device) It had a hood and mask that covered most of our face so we could still breathe and see without being recognised. I think we looked like assassins. 

Charlie looked up at us all and smiled.

"Are you all ready to rescue our kidnapped friend?" he asked. We all nodded and walked out of the basement.
