This choice: Ryan searches Jenny's room for clues. • Go Back...Chapter #5A lead, and a possible fate..... by: deus001  Ryan's POV
I moved back to my dorm, a crowd had started gathering and the people in the back were noticing me. They gasped loudly, well the ones who saw me at any rate. I didn't care about the peanut gallery, and so with that in mind....
"Move it. Fuck off, out the way...." I muttered as I shoved past the crowd, I might have done it harshly but I wasn't in much of a caring mood. After getting up to the door of my dorm I turned to look at them all, I chose to say not a word and rushed back into the hallway.
Chon was there as well, leaning on the wall. He must have sensed my injuries, the bleeding knuckles.
"Ryan. Wait." he said standing in front of me.
I went to move to the side but Chon did the same and blocked me off, I grinded my teeth and muttered "Chon, move now...."
The blind man shook his head "Not until you get that bandaged up, I know what your thinking. You want to search through Jenny's room for clues, we're going to do that. But I don't think she'd want her bed bloodied up by your hands if you take my meaning....." he said gesturing to my injured digits.
I looked down at them, a couple of drops of the red copper fluid that was in my body trickled down my hand. I sighed and said "Fine, get the bandages."
Chon nodded and produced a roll from his pocket, he kept them on hand during his daughters training. Handy to have, even more so in my case. I stood still and held out my open hands, without a word my friend wrapped two layers of bandage around my hands.
I clenched them, they felt secure. "Now let's check the room, but there's something I should tell you. The chick you first attacked, what you did took a bit of her mask off. She had black hair, not much to go on but you know."
I nodded, we knew we were dealing with women. Most likely rouge witches, the thoughts ran into my mind. What if they tried to study Jenny, and do horrible things to her? I blocked that out the best I could, me and Chon walked into the room. It looked bad, like a fight had broken out here of course. The window was open and fluttering in the wind, but the escape was done by teleportation.
Just then something got my eye, in the corner near the foot of Jenny's bed. It was a sheet of paper, I made my way across the room and picked it up. It was written in neat pink handwriting.....
"Dear reader of this letter, if you are reading this then guess what? We kidnapped the princess! Hah hah!"
My hands were about to tear the paper up in anger, but there was more to read.....
"So here's the thing, now that we have the princess. We are going to do what we want with her, and that thing is.....Give her to someone who will be the best person for her, we don't think you are the right one. No offense, and also your not invited to the wedding. Too bad, so sad. But we like playing games, and we want to play with you."
I looked down the page....
"You have one week, one week to find out where the wedding is. If you can find us and stop us, and free the princess. Then you win, and she is yours. If you don't, she forgets all about you and marries the proper love for her. Ask yourself, What's a prince who doesn't even know he's a prince? Think on that one, Prince Carlson. xxx."
My blood boiled, these fuckers were playing a game? A GAME?!!!! Oh we'll play a game, it's called "I'm going to find out where you've taken my girlfriend, get her away from you. And then have my friend Light eat you alive."
But still it was something, a clue and a chance. But what the hell were they talking about at the end? Prince Carlson? Was it just referring to me as the lover of Jenny? And what about marriage?
I scanned the archives of my memories, searching for something that might help. Then it hit me. I had an old penpal back in the US, his name was John Harrison. His family were all witches apart from him and a cousin of his, I forget the name. He might be able to tell me something useful.
"Everyone else report back yet?" I asked Chon.
"My girls looked with me, Charlie's crying into their arms last time I saw the poor kid. Don't know where Light and Lunar are, Amy's still with the Dean." Chon said as we walked into the hallway.
"Go and find Light and Lunar, show this paper to Lunar. She can maybe use her robot stuff, check handwriting or something." I muttered, without a word my friend took the paper.
"What about you?"
"I need to make a phone call....." I said as I moved to the phone in the hallway.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
