Cassie was confused over her friend change of mood and character. She would speak some sense to her later. Maybe Estelle just needed to think over things, alone. And to meet new people will help. Cassie sipped her drink from thinking.
"I hope she will be alright, I will talk to her later." Cassie murmured with a smile. Then Peter mentions Rumple.
"I have heard that he is great with magic and potions." Cassie spoke, and stood, she didn't see Rumple do these magic sort of arts, she had only heard he wielded magic.
"So if you have any problems with magic, like me. I can't even control mine. He is the one to talk to." Cassie said only for Peter to hear, she felt a bit embarrassed that she can't handle her magic that well. She looked at Peter and he asked her to dance, her face felt warmer, but she nodded her head and smiled at him.
"I would love to." Cassie took his hand and the two walked out to dance together.
As Peter held Cassie's hand, he felt a warmth overcoming him unlike any he had felt before. His cheeks were blushing a little, barely notable but they were a little colored.
And he couldn't stop himself from smiling like a dork, swinging Cassie around as they had eachothers hands grasped firmly.
Even if they had known eachother only for a few hours, he could still feel her bright, energetic personality making his world so much more than it had been before. For Peter, it sort of felt like something very similar to love at first sight.
As they spun around, laughing, dancing to the music, completely forgetting about the world around them, they didn't notice the sudden quiet from the other students surrounding them.
As several students parted from eachother, splitting the crowd, a man could be seen marching in towards the happy, dancing pair of youngsters.
The man with the black suit & split hair stopped right in front of them, his cane placed firmly on the ground with a small thud.
One of the students responsible for the party, Dorian, walked up to the man.
-Dad, what are you doi- He was gently shoved aside by the man.
-Not now, Dorian. Everyone, keep enjoying yourselves, i'm not here for you. He kept his gaze on Peter, dancing next to Cassie. They still hadn't noticed him.
The party kept going as people continued with their dancing & other activities.
The black-suited man walked up to the pair, closer than before, seemingly anxiously waiting for Peter to notice him.
Cassie and Peter danced together along with the music, the two had all their attention to each other, they were not disturbed by the people around them and the students who suddenly stopped what they did, but not Cassie and Peter, who still danced together, in their own little bubble.
Cassie couldn't put a finger on all those feelings, that was going on in her mind. She was more than very happy, the time she had to spend with Peter, she wished it would last forever. Some people looked at the two, who danced. Estelle was one of them, who watched from a little far distance.
Estelle took a look around herself, and Dorian Gold was suddenly talking to his father, Mr.Gold who has entered the house and walked up to the party.
"Do your father miss his teenage years that much?" Estelle joked when she walked up to Dorian. She smiled friendly to Dorian and she holds her arms crossed over her chest.
"The two over there, who are dancing. Seem to have a good time." She smiled and looked over where Cassie was dancing with Peter.
"My name is Estelle Hood. I am sure that I haven't introduced myself." Estelle spoke and reached her hand out for Dorian to shake.
-Erhum. The black suited man coughed a little & cleared his throat, staring intensively at Peter.
The boy separated himself from Cassie in shock & turned around to face the man.
As soon as Peter realized saw the man, his eyes flared up in surprise. He stood still, stale as a statue, afraid to move a muscle.
The black suited man, otherwise known as Rumplestiltskin, spoke as calmly as he could. -Peter. I need you to follow me, right now. His voice was shaking a little, almost like he seemed nervous. And he was.
Peter felt tense, but could move again as he felt the feeling of fear leeaving him. This man however, made Peter feel unsure of what to do or how to react.
The man walked closer up to Peter. -I didn't mean later, i meant now.
Peter turned his head, looking at Cassie, then turning his head back to face Rumple. He nodded towards the man, -Uh, alright, sorry.
As Rumple started walking the other direction, out of the area, Peter followed, his thoughts full of questions.
Casssie didnt really know what to say at the moment, there wasnt anything for her to say, really. And Mr.Gold seem to be very stressed over something, but what did it have to do with Peter?
Cassie nodded to Peter and gived him a small smile.
"I hope everything is ok, i wonder what Mr.Gold wants to talk with Peter about." Cassie thought, and watched while Peter walked with Rumple away to speak, more privately. The man who was the dark one, of course she were a bit worried, who wouldn't be?
"Cassie." Estelle had walked over to Cassie, from talking to Dorian. Cassie had walked away from the people shocked what was to happen but keept calm.
"Looks like you two are enjoying the party, so far?" Estelle smirked and tapped her friend by her shoulder, Cassie felt her face warm-up, and Estelle could see her cheeks changed to a reddish, more pink color.
"Yeah, I actually do enjoy this night, do you?" Cassie spoke, she had a smile on her lips while she took the shot whole. Estelle almost dropped her chin but kept it close.
She giggled while she nodded her head. "Ugh, man. That one was strong." Cassie shook her head of the strong liquid, but she made someone laugh.
"Cheers, Cassie." Estelle chuckled, and she took one shot as well.
"Cheers, Estelle." Cassie spoke with a smile on her lips, and the two clinked their glasses together.
Katherine had watched the whole scene when Rumpelstiltskin had walked in and interrupted Peter and Cassie in their dance. She saw Estelle and Cassie talking to each other, it was about time for her to introduce herself to her half-sisters friend.
"Hello sis, so here you are." Katherine spoke while she walked up with the two girls, whose eyes fell on Katherine. "I was invited." She chuckled and looked at Estelle who raised her eyebrow. Cassie was a little confused, but she got the idea that this is the girl, who Estelle spoke about before.
"So, you two are sisters?" Cassie eyed Estelle and then to Katherine, who nodded her head, and gave a smirk, on her painted red lips.
"My name is Katherine. I was sure as surprised as you when I found Estelle in school today." Katherine ley her arm around Estelle's shoulder and smiled wide, Estelle looked at her and returned a small smile. Cassie thought for that moment, about how Katherine was able to know so much. That she was blood related to Estelle, how did she really know? Katherine was building up a plan, which she needs Estelle's trust and to be friends with her before she can make the plan work.
As Rumple led the boy away from the party, Peter's thoughts were full of questions & worries. He had never actually got in trouble, atleast from what he could remember.
What could he have done? There was nothing in his mind that stood out as anything bothersome.
A few hundred yards away, Rumple stopped in his tracks.
-So.. He sighed with a heavy tone, Peter looked curiously at Rumple with questioning eyes.
-You decided to reappear, after all this time. How did you do it? He turned around to face Peter. His face was serious.
Peter didn't really know how to respond. Other than,
-Uh, what?
Rumple arched his eyebrow, -You can drop the act already, you're not very funny.
Peter stood still, open mouth & unblinking eyes.
-I..what? Reappear? Are you sure you're talking to me? He looked around & back, there was noone else there but them.
-For crying out loud.. Rumple said, frustrated.
He pulled a knife out of his right pocket.
-How did you get here? And why? Answer me! He pointed it towards Peter.
Peter stood still, unable to move a muscle. Out of a reflex, he pulled his hands infront of him to shield himself.
-I'm honest! I don't know what you're talking about, Mister! I haven't got the slightest clue! It seems like you've mixed me up with someone else!
Rumple lowered the knife abit, having an unsure expression on his face.
-You-Your name isn't Peter?
The boy nodded frantically & spoke at the same time, -Yes, yes it is. I'm Peter, but i don't know who this person is that you think that i am!
Then it hit Rumple. He lowered his knife even more & started to calm down.
Because of his shock at discovering Peter, his mind had been full of thoughts that hindered him from thinking rationally. But now, he started to think. Maybe the boy was telling the truth? Maybe he isn't the Peter he thought he was?
Or maybe, he's amnesiac? But how is he even here? How does he even exist anymore?
Peter noticed how Rumple was looking into the ground, sorting through thoughts with question marks floating above his head.
-I...We need to talk, and i..need you to come with me. Rumple said with a calmer voice. He picked up phone from his pocket & dialed a number.
-Hi. We need to meet. Bring everyone, something's up. It's important. Yeah, let's meet at Emma's.
He put the phone back into his pocket & looked at Peter.
-Let's go back into Storybrooke.
Peter nodded but was unsure of what to think, but this seemed important. He didn't dare to say no, so he followed.
While Cassie, Estelle, and Katherine had their small chat, Dorian, and Chaol the son's of Mr.Gold and Belle. The two walked up to the girls with wide smiles on their faces.
"Do you girls have a good night?"Dorian the eldest son had asked when he and his younger brother walked up to them.
"We do, thank you." Estelle answered with a sweet smile on her face. It got Cassie on the thought to ask about their dad, Rumplestilskin. "Do you know why Mr.Gold, wanted to talk to Peter?" Cassie asked and her eyes lend to the boys.
"I am not sure why our dad come over here. Or why he interrupted the two of you in your moment. To be honest, I was a bit scared that something bad was going to happen." Dorian smiled and looked over at Cassie, who seems to be a bit troubled and confused.
"It's nothing like that between us!" Cassie waved her hands and she felt her face warm-up, her cheeks turned rosey. The two sons of Rumple chuckled, they could see she was lying. "You're not a good liar, miss." Chaol smirked, made Cassie's blush be darker.
"Mr.Gold he has his reasons, but I am sure father doesn't want any harm to anyone, and not to Peter. Trust me." Dorian spoke and Chaol nodded, but he was a bit confused himself, over what their dad might do. He is after all the dark one. "Do you think we should go and look for dad and ask him, what his problem is? He cant just steal our guests from our party, that we have spent time on fixing." Chaol smirked to his brother, Dorian who stroked his chin with two fingers, thinking it might be a plan.
"Do you want to go with us?" Dorian asked and looked over at Cassie, Estelle, and Katherine.
"Oh my, me and my sister have to spend some sis time together. But go you." Katherine smiled and looked at Estelle who stood beside her.
"I will catch up later, Cassie." Estelle spoke and then she and Katherine walked away. Cassie looked at Estelle and Katherine, she then eyed the brothers. "I will go with you, two." She spoke and looked at Chaol and Dorian.
The three-leaved the house and party, they took their car and drove into the centrum of StoryBrooke. The sons know their father spends a lot of time in his shop, maybe he was there? It was a chance to take and see, if not maybe he was at Granny'? And there were questions going around in Cassie's mind. How did Peter know Mr.Gold, do they know each other from their past?
"So, here we are." Dorian spoke and the three jumped out from the car, outside of Mr.Gold's shop. "So, Mr.Gold really works here?" Cassie asked and crossed her arms over her chest, looking at the shop, it was dusty and a lot of things, weird things. While Chaol unlocked the door which leads into the small shop/house.
"You haven't been around here before, have you?" Dorian asked and looked at Cassie who eyed him.
"No, my first time, why do you ask?" She looked over at Dorian then at Chaol, "We haven't seen you around here before, in StoryBrooke. Who are your parents?" Chaol asked, he opend the door and the three walked inside the shop. "Rapunzel and Eugene Fitzherbert, are my parents." Cassie said while her eyes scanned the room, it was dark and it smelled old, filled with old stuff, but she didnt see Rumple here or Peter.
"Ah, I have heard about Rapunzel before, it was the girl with long blonde hair that healed right?" Choal smiled and remember the story behind Cassie's mother. How did he know her mother, she wasn't a legend, or was she? "Yeah she had. But she lost her powers a long time ago, a long story." Cassie spoke and looked around herself, Dorian was looking for his dad but walked out from his office.
"Yep, but it's a good one. I know what happened." Chaol winked to the girl, next to him. "How do you know so much? Are you a stalker?" Cassie asked and raised her eyebrow, she made Chaol laugh. "No, no. But Henry has told me. From the storybook he has, you see?" "He is not here, we will go to Granny's." Dorian spoke and walk up to his brother, and Cassie. The two nodded and left the shop.
Rumplestiltskin stood in front of a large white house that almost looked like a manor due to it's size. Peter stood behind him, gaping at the pure majestic design of the house. He lowered his eyes to the back of Rumple.
-Follow me inside. Rumple walked up the large stairs & barged in through the doors that looked more like ports. Peter followed suit, as Rumple had commanded.
Behind the doors were a large hallway, stretching far ahead, connecting to many rooms. There was one lit room at the front end of the hallway, voices could be heard echoing through the hall.
-He didn't tell you anything? Someone sounded annoyed.
-No, nothing. He just told me to gather everyone for some reason. I guess it's something big because he seemed worried. A soothing, female voice replied.
As the group of people inside the large room kept guessing & discussing, Rumple entered through the archway.
-So. Everyone here? Good. If any of you have any armaments on you, please put them away.
Behind him, a shape walked up from the dark hallway.
Peter peeked through, unsure of what to do. He carefully stepped through with his hands up to his shoulders, shielding himself.
-Hiiiii..
He said, grinning awkwardly to not raise any tension.
As soon as he appeared, a built man shoved a pale woman aside & pulled a sword & the rest of the group suddenly got into defensive stances.
-Pan! A man shouted, shielding himself with his arm with a hook for a hand.
Peter stood confused & terrified.
Snow White, Charming, Emma, Hook, Henry, and Neal stood with widening eyes and defensive stances. While their eyes were on Pan. "Bloody hell! Why did you bring him of all people here, crocodile?" Hook snorted and eyed Rumple, with narrowed eyes and Emma beside him, who crossed her arms over her chest, why didn't Pan defend himself? Didn't he have magic like before? Something felt and was odd. "Tell us what happened." Emma spoke up and her eyes left from Peter to Rumple. Snow looked at her daughter then at Rumple, she also could feel something different from the boy. Charming took his sword down and calmed down. Cassie, Chaol, and Dorian were outside Granny's and there were people inside, eating or drinking. This was the first time for Cassie to be here at Granny's, she liked it and she got a home feeling when they entered the small restaurant. "Granny, have you seen Mr.Gold?" Dorian asked while the three walked up to the disk, behind was Granny and a young girl with dark hair. She is known as Red riding hood.
"Dont you guys have a party?" Ruby, who is Red asked, and leaned over the desk with her upper body. A smirk was on her red-painted lips. Dorian smiled at her and explained shortly that they needed to see Rumple. The old woman, who's Granny, looked at the two boys and smiled warmly at them. But she was a little confused that they asked if she had seen their father around here.
"Your father is not here. Why has something happened?" Granny asked and pushed her glasses up better to her nose. Dorian and Chaol looked at each other, thinking where their father might be. "Are you sure? He hasn't been around here?" Chaol asked, and eyed the woman again, who shook her head. "I am sorry boys, I have not seen your father." She honestly said, Dorian nodded and smiled at the old woman. "Sorry for interrupting, we just need to share a few words with him. That's why." Dorian spoke and grabbed a hold of his brother's arm and Cassie's. He led the two out from the restaurant. Before leaving, Dorian turned his head back at Granny. "Have a nice evening." Dorian smiled and then they left. "So, what do we do now?" Cassie's eyed the brothers, who were frustrated over why they couldn't find their dad. "Maybe he took Peter to Snow and the others?" Dorian spoke and got an idea, Chaol raised his eyebrow at his older brother. He rests his hands in the pockets of his jacket.
"Why would he? But why did he take Peter alone, and so late? He has a lot to explain for us." Chaol spoke and eyed his brother, who walked up to the car again. "C'mon you two, we will ask him and know when we find him." Dorian spoke and was already sitting behind the wheel, Cassie and Chaol looked at each other but took their seat in the car. Dorian drive to where Emma lived, he has heard they are often together with the family, at Emma's. Because she just got a new house here in StoryBrooke, so Rumple and Peter could be there.
"So he doesn't remember, anything?" Emma spoke and Rumple had just told them what had happened. "What if he gets his memories back again, what will we do then? With a new curse upon us." Hook spoke, he couldn't trust Pan that easily. Maybe Pan played a mind game with them? To think he is innocent now, and make them his friends, then not but only, they will get into trouble again. The hook couldn't believe Peter was "Reborn" and had forgotten everything. That's what at least the pirate thinks. "Dont worry, I won't let that happen." Emma smiled and stroked her hand on Killian's shoulder gently, her eyes and voice calmed him down.
Dorian had parked the car outside of Emma's house, the three teens got out from the car and they walked up to the port doors. This was a very big house. Knock, Knock
Peter was still confounded by all the commotion. He kept himself from saying anything so that noone would misinterpret him as hostile. But then came the knockings.
-Uhh, should i get that? Peter asked gently while pointing back to the door on the other side of the hallway.
The group looked at him with collective eyes, -No! They all shouted in unison.
Emma walked past Peter & Rumple, through the hallway & to the door.
The sound of a door opening was heard.
Peter felt that it was unbefitting for him to stay in the house incase the group would have guests over, -Should i stay her-
-You're not going anywhere. The prince said, keeping his eyes focused on Peter.
-Sit down, over there. He pointed to a chair which was placed comfortably in a corner.
Peter felt bad in a way, like he should be ashamed of something.
He looked worringly at Prince Charming. -Uh, yes sir.
He went over to the chair, and sat down in silence.
Rumple looked unsure as he was staring into the ground, gently stroking his chin.
Dorian, Cassie and Chaol was the ones who had knocked on the door, Emma opened and her eyes fell to the teens.
-Hello, Swan. I guess my father is here. Dorian spoke up and eyes the savior, who almost dropped her chin, but she kept her mouth closed.
-Y-yeah he is here. Emma stumbled over her words and looked down at the ground then let the three teens inside.
-You see, our dad stormed in mine and Dorians Party, and stole our friend. Chaol smirked and his voice turned serious. Dorian and Cassie eyed Emma who was listening.
-We would gladly like to bring him back to the party. Chaol spoke and still eyed Emma, who slightly nodded. Then she got it. Chaol meant Pan.
-Mr.Gold! Emma highed her voice, and she walked inside to the living room, with Rumple's sons and the girl walking behind her.
-Your sons are here. Emma said, she crossed her arms over her chest, while she lean her back against the door way. Which leads in to the living room and where everyone was.
-Dad, we are a bit confused and you need to explain, what is going on. Dorian eyed his father and so did Chaol. They looked at Peter and hoped their father haven't scared him.
That would be embarrassing, wouldn't it?
Cassie eyes fell to Peter, a smile appered on her lips, when she saw him and that he was alright. Then her eyes land to the people around him. What was going on here?
She felt somehting wrong here, and the man with a hook as a hand, looked at her with narrowed eyes.
Did she do something wrong?
That girl have no one of them seen before, if she is on Pan's side. What might they do, who is she? Hook's eyes was on the girl, it made her feel very uncomfortable.
Peter sat on the chair in the corner, unmoving. He just looked at Cassie & the others as they approached the room.
As he understood, the situation seemed dire to the teachers. For some reason, they were afraid of him, but why? Maybe he would hear an explanation soon enough.
-Look, kids, you arrived at a very bad time. We need to talk to Peter alone. This doesn't concern you. Rumple, the man otherwise known as Mr.Gold, said with a stern voice.
He kept his eyes on Cassie as he spoke. -Don't worry, Peter will be okay. We're not the bad guys here.
-But Peter is? Dorian asked with an irritated voice, staring blankly at his father.
Rumple shifted his eyes to his son.
-I don't believe so, no. He said, -Now go. Peter will be back with you shortly. He shifted his eyes back to Cassie.
The prince turned a concerned look to Rumple.
-You might aswell tell them now, Gold. Keeping something like this from your own children is going to backfire later on in life.
He also turned his eyes to Cassie.
-It doesn't concern us? Dad, it's out friend. That we are talking about! Dorian spoke and eyed his father, he was suprised to hear his father say things like that.
-So you want to keep something important from us? Not even letting us know what is going on here. What kind of father does that? Chaol spoke while he glaring at his father, who stood not far away from him.
Chaol and Dorian was much alike, the two of them didnt like lies. And what Charming just said, made the two feel disappointment, that their father rather dont tell what was going on.
-Both Dorian and Chaol are right. And i think it's fair enough for Peter, to know what is going on to him. Cassie spoke, she eyed Mr.Gold who looked at her and who had just talked.
-Well where do we start? Emma spoke and let out a deep sigh, she didnt know where to begun the whole story. It would make Peter who dont seem to remeber in shock, and his friends as well.
-Bloody hell to it, he is a bloody demon! Hook snorts, and crosses his arms over his chest. Everyone eyed him, with widened eyes. That didnt really answer anything, really. But pirates are, pirates.
-Dont talk to our friend like that, your bloody pirate! Chaol yelled across the room and eyes feel to him, it went silent but Hook spoke, and made the young boy even more angry then he already were.
-Okeeey, that was not what anyone expected to hear. Emma spoke up from the silnce, and broke the ice between her loved one, and the young teenage.
-Just dont be too suprised, ok? Snow spoke and looked at Peter, Cassie, Chaol and Dorian.
-He was Rumple's father and a lot of things had happened. Snow begun but stopped by Dorian who chuckled.
-Sorry again, what? Dorian didnt belive it, he shook his head. Peter cant be Rumple's father. And that would mean, he is their grandfather? No, way. No.
-If that was supposed to be a joke, it wasnt a good one. Chaol said and eyed Snow, then his father, he waited for an answer by him.
-How is that even possible? Cassie spoke, she didnt know what to think or belive. It had to be some kind of a bad joke, it cant be real.
-We have to figure out what happend to him, why his memories is lost, will they return to him what happen then? David added, while he eyed everyone, Emma got an idéa that might work.
-Regina. She might help us. Emma spoke and looked at her father, Charming/David. He nodded and smiled to his daughter.
-Only if she will, you know she had a bit trouble with her daughter Estelle, remember? Snow added and looked a bit troubled that might not work.
Peter shot up from the chair. His feelings of fear had just been blown away. "They're keeping me here because they think that i'm the father to an already 40+ year old man?" He thought, with his face twisted in anger.
-Are you serious? What the hell is wrong with you people? He said with a commanding voice.
-Either you're making, as he said, a very bad joke OR the lot of you are far beyond the realm of stupid. His eyes shifted to Hook, standing on the opposite side of the room.
-And what the hell is your problem, huh? Are you always like that? Trying to start fights? His eyes were furious with anger.
He now looked to Rumple, whom he walked up to in a casual manner.
-You. Don't you ever bring me here again. Don't even try for that matter, because if you do, it'll be bad for you. Rumple was stunned, unmoving, unblinking.
Noone dared to stop the boy, the teachers could feel his seething anger. It took them all back to the time they had to deal with the evil Pan.
But Rumple understood. Peter didn't know anything. This was a shock to him, and he couldn't believe it because of how absurd it sounded like.
Peter walked past him, past the young teens & out of the large manor.
-Let him go. Rumple said to the rest of the adults.
-Let's think before we act again, please? He stared at Emma with disappointed eyes.
Dorian looked at Cassie. -He's pissed. What do you want to do?
Dorian, Chaol and Cassie understood Peters anger, and that he had enough of this already.
-Dont look at us, we didnt at least lie to him. Snow spoke looked at Rumple, she let out a deep sigh and crossed her arms.
-We should talk to Regina. Emma spoke and looked at the others, they nodded and gathered up outside the house.
While Dorian, Chaol and Cassie walked after where Peter had gone. They couldnt see him.
"Do he really want to be alone, at a moment like this? I wouldn't." Cassie thought to herself, she eyed the brothers.
-I will go and look for Peter. You two can go back again to the party. I will be alright. Cassie spoke and eyed the two brothers, who nodded their heads. They were still fustrieted and angry about their father, who would rather lie to them, then telling them the truth.
-You are right, hope to see the two of you later. Dorian smiled and eyed Cassie, who nodded slightly.
-Take this with you. Chaol spoke and handled Cassie a flashlight, she grabbed it, and put it inside the pucket of her jacket. Chaol and Dorian walked up to the car.
-Call us if anything comes up, my number is 070829123. Dorian said and jumped in the car, so did Chaol, Cassie nodded and got the number.
Emma and the others was leaving aswell, to meet Regina at her place.
Cassie made her way to find Peter. "Where could he be?"
She was worried of course about him, and whatever Mr.Gold and the others said, it wont make anything different.
-Peter? Are you here? Cassie walked inside a little forest like area and turned the flashlight on. It was getting colder and even darker. She walked further in the forest to look for Peter.
-You sure she will be alright? I mean she is all alone and looking for him. Chaol spoke and looked over at his brother. He had a gut feeling telling him, it wasnt that good to leave her, all by herself.
-I didnt want to leave her, something dont feel good. Dorian answered, while he drived the car. Then he saw a boy, it was Peter. He were walking pass houses, their eyes went wide and dirved to where he walked.
-Hi Peter, jump in the car. We need to find Cassie. She ran to look for you, alone. Chaol spoke up, and lowered the car window. Chaol and Dorian showed that the two was worried over the girl, it was pretty dark getting even darker outside now, pitch black.
Peter stopped right in his tracks when Chaol spoke to him from the front passenger seat. He felt annoyed. Yet, he understood that Cassie was only thinking about him & wanted to make sure he was fine.
He turned to the car, walked up to the side of the car and opened the back door.
-Alright, drive. He said with a monotone voice and stared at the road infront of them.
As they were driving back to the manor, Peter felt uneasy.
-Where did she go? He asked the boys with a glare.
Chaol was the one replying, -She ran into the forest, she thought you had veered off because you seemed to now want any people around you.
Irritation & worry begat Peter. He had mixed feelings about all this. The raw nerve of the teachers to keep him against his will, but then he felt the lovely feeling when reminding himself of the time he & Cassie had danced during the day.
"Stupid girl." He thought, putting his hand to his forehead, a horrible headache started to take it's grip on him.
The group got to the manor & drove to the side of the forest. Peter got out first,
-What direction did she go? He asked with a forced attitude.
-Towards that path, Dorian pointed to a branchy path reaching deep into the woods.
Peter slammed the door shut & started running with ferocious speed.
Dorian and Chaol ran after Peter, the hopes she was alright so they all could return to the party or home what ever they wanted to.
It was pitch black in the woods, the deeper the three ran it was getting uncomfortable to be here. But a load scream was heard in the woods. The voice belonged to a female, and was filled with horror.
-That most have been Cassie. Chaol spoke and looked around them, their flashlight's on but they didnt find the girl.
-We need to hurry! Dorian spoke and eyed his brother and Peter.
Cassie was only walking in the woods calling for Peter, but never got a answer back. She did feel this uncomfortable feeling to be here to long, she just wanted to ran out from this place, but her feet moved by themselfs.
-Who's there? Cassie spoke and looked around herself, to find nothing.
She was to be honest to sceard to speak at the moment.
Something then suddenly grabbed her by her shoulder, and turned her around. She faced something dark. A face that didnt really have a face. A trembling laugh were coming from the figure, who stood infront of her, when she let out her scream, what ever it was it knocked the girl out cold.
Cassie dropped the flashlight and dropped to the ground. Her forhead was bleeding, from the wound and leaved some blood marks on the ground. The figure took her away and disappeared in the dark, as fast it heard footsteps and voices yelling out a name.
The group of boys had ran to where the voice seemed to come from. But there was noone there.
Peter noticed a flashlight that was still on, lying on the ground amidst broken sticks. He went over to it & picked it up. There were drops of blood spattered on a couple of leaves next to it.
-Cassie. Peter said with a hushed voice.
-Do- Chaol was about to say something but Peter shushed him by putting up a finger in the air.
He looked at the small drops of blood & noticed a very faint trail of blood. He started to follow it with quick steps that almost made it seem like he glided over through the ground. They needed to be quiet & Peter showed that stealth seemed to be his forté.
He stopped for a second. -Chaol. Go back to the manor. Get the teachers, they have to help. Peter whispered.
He turned around & looked at Chaol. -Now.
Chaol nodded, turned around and shuffled quickly, quietly away.
-Let's go, Dorian. Look out for any kind of shadow.
Chaol did as he was told, he hurried back to the car and drived back to where, the "heroes" would gather up, at Regina's.
-C-Chaol? Why are you here? Regina spoke with suprise, when she opend the door and behind was one of Rumple's sons. He seem like he had seen something terrible, his face was all white.
-Something is up & it's bad. Our friend, Cassie is gone. Chaol said and the teachers, including his father looked at him and gathered up and walked to the car.
Dorian looked at Peter who hold the flashlight and he saw the blood on the ground.
-This is all my fault. He spoke and shaked his head, felt immediately anxiety.
When Chaol was send get get the heores and to help them find Cassie, Dorian and Peter had already begun to look for her.
Peter hurried through the forest with quick, silent steps. Dorian was right behind him.
-What if this is someone really dangerous? Shouldn't we wait for the others? Dorian whispered while hurrying after Peter.
Peter didn't look back. -There's no time. Keep going.
As the trail of blood started to fade away, Peter looked for new tracks. He could see broken branches & scattered leaves, but there was nothing to indicate anyone had been there.
He had to make a flash-decision. Either they stop & wait for the others, or they continue the direction to where the blood had gone before.
Peter was smart, but rash in his decision, so he kept going.
-I hope we don't get lost. Dorian whispered in a worried voice.
Peter didn't reply, he just kept speeding through the forest.
