Tw: talks of death/killing

(Artemis' pov)

"Alright so going over what we know" I say, using a stick to write/draw in the dirt

"Why are you using a stick and dirt? We have paper" Kol pointed out

"Yesh but we won't be able to go out and stea- get those things due to the situation" I say

"You don't need to cover up the stealing we all know you do that" Shino pointed out

"Anywayssss back to what we know" I say trying to change the topic "both rooms were a mess showing a fight was put up, both went missing around the same time since it happened when you found Rikku and ours happened a while after Rikku left"

"Meaning there are multiple people doing this" said mania

"Exactly, though whether or not they are working together is a different story" I say

"True, but the evidence points it to being that" said Sapphire

"Yes, and both rooms haven't been fixed yet right?" I asked

"They haven't" Iris says

"See if they will let you go in" I say "we will do the same here and see if we can find anything"

"I do have a question" said Shino

"What's up?' I asked

"Are you the next leader here or something?" He asked

"I- uh no?" I answered "I mean we all have jobs we do and stuff, Ronin is our leader since he is the only adult, well other then Davis who turned 19 but once he is no longer leader I don't think we will be having one"

"I just thought with how you are acting" he says

"Well- I guess I'm just quick to acton? I mean do you guys have someone after the king?" I asked

"We would have" said David

"Oh?" Asked Yuki

"He had two kids but they were killed, so was his wife so no one is after him which is why is right hand woman is watching over the place" Shino explained

"I'm sorry to hear that" I say

"Yeah it was one of you" said David

"Is that another assumption?" Asked Kol

"No, they weren't a part of the Kingdom" Mario said

"Well, that gives a lead" I say

"What?" Asked Willow

"Maybe that person has something to do with it, I don't know if we have records but if we look around Ronin's place maybe we can find one" I explained

"Guess we can do the same, see if anyone had bad blood with Database or is missing" said David

"Guess so" says Mario

"First plan of action then, looking though the rooms" I say "we do Ronin's while you guys do your king's"

"Whatever sure" said David getting up

Soon they all got up

"Do you need help finding your way back?" Asked Jack

Shino picked up his lantern and said "we will be fine"

I shrugged my shoulders and walked off, so did a few others as that group left

(Willow's pov)

As we were leaving I quickly ran back

"Rikku!" I called out

She turned around and ran over

"Thank you for not saying anything, I would love to talk about us being friends" I say

"I know but I won't say anything about our run-ins, I don't want you to get in trouble" she said

I gave her a quick hug before running back to my group
