35

We each held one of Isabella's hand so she wouldn't run off and went to find the others.

As we walked down floor by floor, but I froze the minute I heard yelling and beatings.

I walked up to the door where I heard the noise and pressed my ear against it to listen.

"You tricked us! Now Alex is going to kick us out of here, all because of you!" A person said which could be a guard and than heard beating noises as if their hitting someone.

Then I realized who that person might be,

"Oh no! Theo is the one who is getting beaten." I cried.

"Who's Theo?" Noah asked.

"An earth friend. Listen I need you to run and protect Isabella. The other fairy guardians are here and Twilight and two of my other earth friends. Tell some guardians to come back me up and stay put with the others." I explained.

"What about you?" Noah asked.

"I'll be fine, NOW GO!"

I watched them leave and I opened the door where I see Theo tied up with tape across his mouth, in a chair, bleeding continually. 

The sight of seeing Theo was terrifying. 

All guards eyes were on me now and I know they are not happy to see me.

I can't look at Theo right now because of the condition he's in, so I slowly pulled out my sword and blocked all of the hands swinging in my face.

"Grab her!" An angry guard yelled.

Theses guards are really big and buff and there are about five of them, so it's really difficult to defend them alone. I hope Noah found the others and told them to come here.

One of the guards slashed his dagger on my leg and I lost control. Two guard grabbed each of my arms and tied them up while one shut my mouth with tape. The other guard tied my legs and left me on the ground struggling. 

"Alex will be so happy that we found you." The guard said happily.

I was about to give up hope, but than some of the kingdom's guards and Twilight rushed inside.

I didn't know what happened after that because I must've passed out.

I woke up after what seems like hours, in the middle of a forest covered with leaves. I tried standing up but I kept losing my balance. I looked at my surroundings and saw a person lying next to me.

I took a closer look and saw that it was Theo covered with leaves, probably still passed out from all the blood he lost.

I wanted to call the others but I was afraid I might wake up Theo.

Then I heard Theo groan from behind.

"Theo you okay?" I asked him.

"Where am I? Gabriela?" He asked.

"We're in the middle of a forest."

"Where are the others?"

"I don't know."

"Well, we should find them." Theo struggled to get up.

"Theo, your too weak." I laid him back down.

"What if they're in trouble."

"Don't worry there are many guards. By the way are you alright? What did those guards do to you?"

"C-can we not t-talk about it. All I'm going to say that it was horrible." Theo staggered. "Did they do anything to you?"

"... It wasn't that bad. We're still alive and that's what matters."

"Gabriela, Theo! Your awake, how are you guys feeling?" A figure said from behind the trees.
