The Travelers

Akana 3

"But even before Kai could answer they heard several knocks at the door. "Princess Akana we know you're in there. Please open the door."

"It's the head of security they will try to force their way in."

"Then we will have to hurry. Where is your sister's room?" the devil asked.

"This room doesn't have any secret passage unfortunately. So the only way out is through that door." Pointing at the door with probably 50 royal guards waiting.

"Kai are you finish forging the key?" The devil asked.

"Not yet give me five more minutes."

"But they are about to tear that door down," I said, panicking. But why am I panicking? These creatures kidn*pped me and the people behind that door could rescue me from them.

"No problem." The angel pulled something on his back. "Now you two hold my feathers. Since I'm tied up he just put the feathers in my mouth. Akana took the feather just in time before the royal guards could enter the room.

Akana suddenly disappeared before my eyes.

"Where is princess Akana? You said she entered this room earlier?" a royal guard asks the maid. All they see is an empty room.

"I saw it with my own eyes. She entered this room. I'm not the only one who saw her. We even heard a gunshot that's why we called you right away."

"She cannot just disappear into thin air. Maybe you made a mistake. There are hundreds of room here in the palace."

"I'm sure of what I saw. Maybe shes hiding?" The maid insisted

The royal guards inspected the room. But found nothing, just the shotgun lying on the floor.

I'm now panicking again. I was trying my best to not make a sound. But my damn allergy is acting up. Please leave already. I can no longer hold my damn sneeze.

"She's not here. Try to look for her in another room."

They were about to leave and close the door when suddenly they heard a sound.

"Achuuu"

"What the f**k. Who the hell are you?" the royal guard asked. He was obviously shocked as he saw me appear infront of him.

Apparently not only did I sneeze, I also dropped the feather. And now I'm visible for everyone to see.

"You moron." the angel hissed at me as he spread his magnificent wings that emitted a blinding light.

"Kai is the damn key ready. I don't wanna destroy these people's corneas."

"Yes it's ready." He brought out a newly forged key. "Princess take it." He throws the key to Akanas direction who easily catches it.

"What exactly should I do with this?" she asked.

"You're the only one who knows where your sisters room is located. Use your mind to imagine your sister's location then put that key to the closet's key hole. Now do it hurry up."

She run towards the closet put the key to the key hole and opens the door. And to her amazement the door becomes a portal to her sister's room.

"Now let's all go in." Kai hurriedly instructed.

"You will all forget what you saw in this room tonight," the angel shouted. All the guard lost consciousness after that. His wings disappear and hurriedly went into the closet.

"What are you waiting for Niccolo hurry the f**k up," he demanded when he saw me flustered. I didn't even realize that I have not moved a muscle. This whole chaos got me confused.

I'm supposed to be just a normal college student. Why is this happening to me? I'm not even sure how many times ive asked myself that question.

"God damnit Niccolo!" The angel reached for me, shoved me in the closet and then hurriedly closed the door.

"Lock it." Kai commanded. Akana abided immediately.

"Are you sure they won't be able to follow us here?" the ghost asked.

"I'm the only one who knows about this room and my parents."

"Well your parents could follow us here."

"They won't. There are at least 100 very important royal guests inside and outside the palace right now. They can't and won't leave the guests alone. They will feign normalcy till the very end."

"How about the guards?"

"They wont tell the royal guards about this room or else their secret will be revealed. Right now the guests are probably told that I'm having my usual princess tantrums and need to go to bed early."

"How about her what should we do with her?" Asked the ghost about the maid who saw them enter the room. "She looks scared. Are you sure she won't tell on us?"

"She's good at hiding secret. And she's loyal to the family. She wont tell anyone what she saw tonight." she assured us.

But just to be safe the devil approached her. "Look me in the eye." the maid immediately follow. "You didnt see anything unusual here. Everything is normal. Now leave and go to bed peacefully." The maid just nod turn her back on us and leave just like nothing happened.

The coast is finally clear.

"So what should we do next?" princess Akana asked.

"I want to go home." I blurted out.
