"Urghhh... I feel sick..." Shai while holding her stomach
"Who told you to eat 6 plates of ribs!!" Indie yelled
"Be glad that I did not tell Mom what you did" she added
We are now walking on the streets and just wondering around.
So what happened last night was that Griffin has successfully caught the attention of Shai and has accepted a duel from him again.
***
(Flashback)
They went up the stage and began the eating contest. Lots of people joined and the two remain standing they are in the top 3. On the 6th plate Shai could not take it anymore and Griffin was already at his limit. He was on his 7th plate when he stopped and Shai could not move from the seat. The plate was not even a normal one but a big plate that could fit a whole roast chicken.
Those two really acts as if they are always starving. The two both have their faces laid on their table and could not move an inch. The two look sick from eating. Lastly the one hailed as the winner are much buff than them. Actually the person was indeed double their sizes.
I looked around to see if Lily and Indie are back. Even Ana is not around she left this morning and still not back up till now.
"Your friend seems nice" I looked at the person who suddenly spoke
I was a bit startled because I didn't notice he was seating near me only a seat apart. He has his cloak covered most of his face so I can't see him clearly. I just know he came with Griffin. "Ah yes, she is and so is Griffin"
"Nice of her to put up with that guy. He can be annoying"
"Pft— Oh sorry, if that was true then they are both annoying" I looked in his way and he also laugh at my comment one of their friend moved from his seat and came closer to him tapping his shoulder to get his attention "Ren we need to go" said by his friend in a low voice.
He nodded and looked at my direction. "It's a pleasure meeting you, I'm—"
I wasn't able to hear him because someone tap my shoulder making me startled and look to see who it was.
"Where is my sister?!" She asked so I frowned and pointed at where her sister is right now.
"Who are you talking to anyway?" Lily asked
"Oh this is..." I looked back at the person I was talking before Indie interrupted but he was gone.
"...um...who?"
"He's gone"
"Well that was rude, he didn't even introduce himself?" Indie then took a seat beside me
"No, he was about to but then you came, anyway, Have you found them?" I asked Lily
Before the play started they both went out to look for her brother and Anya who was supposed to meet up with us this morning. Mrs. Atlin and the kids left early because they don't want to get lost in the crowd.
"I don't know, maybe my brother is back at home" she said but still has worries in her eyes
"Anya might be hiding from us or something because we can't find her. Lily has used her gift too much today searching for them but still she can't see anything."
"Take a seat Lily, you're tired we'll look for them after you rest." She then sat next to me and leaned her head towards me so she can take a rest.
(End of Flashback)

We are wondering around still searching for Lily's brother and Anya.
A letter came back this morning informing us that her brother is not home. When I asks Ana if she saw Anya somewhere,she says she didn't.
They all stayed at my place last night and we have decided it for this whole week. Because my place is near and also because we have our investigations ongoing. I am glad that their parents don't mind them staying with me.
I held Lily's hand "We will find your brother, I'm sure he is safe" I assure her
"Could they possibly know each other?" Shai blurted
We all look at her at the same time.
"Well that makes sense, they both are gone at the same time and was still not found" Indie agreed
"What? No!!, they have not met yet, so why would they know each other." Lily denied
"So yesterday was suppose to be their first time meeting?"
"Yes, and my brother is not yet a member in our guild so how could he possibly know Anya. She just joined last year"
"Let's go to the guild maybe Anya is there. Remember we happen to find out that she was staying there sometimes when she runs away from her home." Indie
"Alright let's start there" We agreed and headed to the guild
After we opened the guild we heard some noise.
It was dark inside for we are suppose to be close but maybe someone came in.
"Who's there?!"
We all search for where the noise is coming from.
"Over here!" Shai yelled
"Lou!!" Lily yelled then came to her brother
He was lying on the floor like in a weakened state.
"I'll go get the first aid" Shai said before running upstairs
"I'll go get some water" Indie before leaving
I was left with Lily helping her brother get up and have him take a seat.
"What happened?" Lily asked
"A-Anya.., you have to save Anya.."
The two came back and he drank the water
He was so weak and has bruises all over.
"But how did you know Anya?" I ask
Lily said earlier that the two have not met yet
"Right, how would you know Anya?"
He looked at us while his sister is treating him
"Anya lied, I bumped into her yesterday at the cafe just before she entered the cafe"
Lied?
We all frowned at what he said
"The guild only accepts the graduates from the Magic academy so that would be at the age of 18 and you guys are accepted because there are exemptions to those who have already mastered their magic and has a trusting background"
"Yeah and ?" Shai replied
We are all waiting for his answer
"Tsk, Anya is 13 same age as me. She IS my classmate"
"What! That's why she is so annoying!!" Yelled by Shai
She and Anya don't get along quite well
They are both childish.
"She ran away as soon as I saw her so I followed her, we got lost in an alley and during the parade there are a lot of crowd. She entered an alley and when I came there is a group forcing her to come with them. She fought some but there are too many. I helped but someone knocked me out from behind. When I woke up we are all tied up and already in a moving wagon. Anya was untying me when we got caught trying to escaped. We fought but only me got escaped. So I run to asks for help and here I was at your guild"
"It must be the group we are looking for" Indie said
"Where are they headed?" I asked
"They are already near the Eastern borders"
"East? But aren't their hideout suppose to be near the Northern border?"
It's true, the informations we gathered says that their hideout is near the borders of the North and the capital. So why East
"We got caught trying to escape because they stopped. They are about to switch us to another wagon because their hideout near the North borders are now not safe for them they are trying to ship all the people they kidnapped as fast as they can."
My father must have caught on with them.
I sent him a letter saying about the things that are happening here and about the possible hideout.
"Everything is happening too fast, what should we do?"
"I can't believe Anya is just 13!" Shai
We need to think of a plan quickly. It will be risky for us to go after the group.
"Miss! Thank God you're here" right when I was thinking of Ana she came in at the right time.
"Great timing Ana! We need your help. Anya is in danger and all those people who got kidnapped too."
She came in with two other people looking at them clearly I think they are also from the guild.
"Milady, it is a an honor to serve you" the two kneeled
"They are also members of the Elite knights, they are sent here to help you."
"Okay we need to hurry"
"I want to go with you" Louis, Lily's brother tried to move but Lily stopped him.
"You can't, you will only slow them down." Lily to her brother
"It's okay, we will save them." I said assuring him
Lily stayed with her brother and the twins joined me heading to Eastern territory.
