The Sword and the white rose

Chapter 4

I walked to the back of the theater and opened up the secret door to a room. I grabbed my black silk cloak with the hood. I put the cloak on and placed my jacket in the secret room. I then fixed the cloak and threw the hood up over my head. The hood fell down over my eyes. It come down just enough to hide me eyes from any passerby’s. I walked back around the front of the building. As I got to the front the sound of cheering and fighting began to get louder. I looked over to see Korrack holding the door open for me. I gave him a small nod and walked inside. The noise was so loud inside the theater that I was surprised that anyone could hear. I stood there for about a minute before a wave of silence started and everyone stopped and turned toward Korrack and Me. They parted the way as I walked to the middle of the fight. Everyone bowed their heads and I gave the all a quick nod as I passed them. As I reached the middle of the circle, the two fighters parted ways and looked straight at me. They looked all mangled. They had blood running freely down their faces. Both of the fighter was shirtless so you could see every detail of their six pack abs and their ripped biceps. I glanced left to right to see who was fighting in the circle. The fighter on my left was obviously looking worse for wear. He stood about 5’4 with dirty blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail. His eyes filled with passion and of fury on kicking his opponent butt, But I can see those eyes where forest green. He had blood cover his arms, scratches down the middle of his chest, and several bite marks all over his body. His opponent didn’t looked as bad. He stood about 5’ 10 with short brown hair that was very wiry. His eyes were dark chocolate brown. As I got done looking at the fighters I turned so everyone to see me.

“You guys are having fun?”

No one spoke.. They looked so putrified. I just lowered my gaze and shook my head, before someone finally spoke up.

“Korrack and Mystery welcome.”

The voice was like a nail on a chalkboard. I turned quickly toward the voice. I knew before I saw him who was talking, it was none other than Brutus, himself. Looking like his pompous self ,with his demonic smile.

“Good evening Brutus. How are you this evening?” I said this as I swallowed venom and hatred for this man. If a man is what you want to call him.

“Mystery you don’t have to be so well mannered. We all know why you are here.” He said this with a smirk on his face.

“Brutus I am only kind because it IS proper manners. Now where is Morifirer?!”

As I asked this question Brutus moved closer to me, folding his fingers together with a fiendish smile upon him face. He was letting out little chuckle here and there as he walk closer. I looked around on see everyone was moving in closers to Korrack and myself. I put my middle finger and thumb together in the snapping setting.

“I am not going to ask you again Brutus. Where is He?!”

“He is here. Somewhere.” He laughs out loud.

Everyone continued moving closer and closer. The feeling like I was trapped was kicking in. I put my hand up and my fingers were still in the snapping setting.

“One more step and everyone will get it.” I said this trying to hide the fact my fear was rising to the surface as I spoke.

Someone on my left tried to grab me and I moved out of their reach and dropping my hand. Which was the wrong move. They were waiting for it. I drop in to a ball and Korrack started to fight, push, pulled people off me. While I was in my ball self I tried not to let them rip my hood off my head. No one has ever seen what I look like. All they have ever seen of me is what I let them see. A woman who is 5’2 that wears black and pink that covers her upper face so no one can see my eyes. My icy blue eyes. If anyone ever saw them they would know who I am. And I can’t have that happen, not here, and not now.

“MORIFIRERRRRR!!!!!!” I yelled “MORIFIRERRRR!!! Korrack can you see him?”

“No I can’t! STAY DOWN MYSTERY!!!!”

“WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM DOING!?! I am staring to get really pissed off by now.”

As I kept ahold of the hood. I continue getting kicked, punched in the back several time, and them trying to rip my hood off. Wincing in pain as each kick and punch found it’s way to connect with my back, my sides, and my head. I ended up getting knocked over to where I was on my side still holding onto my hood.As I hear Korrack yelling for Morifirer, and telling them to leave me alone which of course, they didn’t do. Angry started to make my blood boil to the point. I had enough of this gang up on us , I let out a loud scream.

“STOP IT.” I flung my arm to my side.

Everyone just stopped dead in their tracks. I got up from where I laid at. Dusted off my clothing and fixed my hood, that was still over my face. I took a calming deep breath and looked around. Everyone was frozen in there place. I moved over to Korrack and placed my hand on him. I watched as he fell to the ground.

“Are you okay?” He asked shortly after he recovered.

“Yes and I am going to kick your brother’s arse. How dare he do this. He is going to regret this. Where is Morifirer?”

“How long will that freeze last?”

“Until I unfreeze them and yes they can hear everything we say. They just can’t move.”

As I was talking I also scanning the room to find Brutus or Morifirer. I couldn’t find Morifirer, but I found Brutus. Anger started to flow back into me. Korrack noticed that, got up quickly, grab my hands, and lifted them up. My hands were engulfed in fire.

‘Rosie OW’ he spoke to me in my head. ‘Focus OW we need to find OW Morifirer’

I felt my anger subsiding as he had me focus on what was important. I lowered my hands. I didn’t take my eyes off Brutus though.

“Korrack you are right, but I am not done with him.” I said this while I pointed my finger at his brother.

“I understand, but first we need to find Morifirer.”

“Okay how do you want to do this? I can’t sense him. He is knocked out or…”

“He is NOT dead.” Korrack cut me off. Knowing my mind went straight to it. “ Look at me.”

I turned my head so I could see him. My eyes were already filling up with tears.

“We will find him. He has to be here. I will check here and the lower levels of this place, You go check the upper and we will meet back here once we are done.”

I gave him a quick nod that told him I understand. I moved past the people heading straight toward Brutus’ area. I had to fight the urge to kick his arse as I walked past him. Luckily the stairs were right behind him. There was five levels on the upper part of the building with hidden rooms not including the rooftop. So it was going to take me a bit of time. I ran up to the next level, hoping he was there. I came to the first door. I wavered briefly before turning the door knob. I closed my eyes and turned the door knob quickly. As it open I felt the heart wrenching pain of nothingness. The room was empty. I could feel my anxiety rising because I couldn’t feel him. Not knowing if he was okay or anything made me feel alone, scared, angry, and sad. I balled one of my hands into a fist and hit the door. There was a loud thud when I hit the door. I couldn’t give up, there was fifteen more room and seven hidden rooms and the roof. He had to be in one of them. He just had to. I turned around and started to run from room to room, looking in every hidden room as I came upon them. Every room and hidden room was empty, no little girl or Morifirer. Nothing. On reaching the last door. I could feel the tears threatening to fall like raindrops on a summer night. I slowly walked to the door. I waited before I opened the door.I heard footsteps coming toward me. I looked toward the the footsteps. It was Korrack. He simply shook his head letting me know that he found nothing. I turned back to the door and opened it quickly. As I watched the door open. I couldn’t hold back my tears anymore. They were just slowly falling down. As I realized that there was nothing in this room. I felt my knees give way. Holding myself up was to much for me and I slid down the doorframe and unable to control my tears any longer. But before I hit the floor Korrack ran over and grabbed me. He was able to cradle me into his lap. I turned my head into his chest and continued to cry.

“Korrack where is he?”

“I don’t know Rosie.” He said this while he stroked my hair trying to calm me down.
