I'm unsure of how long we've been down here now but I'm pretty sure it's been a day or two... Or at least it feels that way. After closing my eyes I drift off to sleep and only wake up when I hear a familiar clicking noise. I wake Fig up and he quickly crawls up to my shoulder to hide in my stiff hair. I find that all the blood and goo was now dry and had created a semi hard sticky mess that smelt horrible.
I didn't move not wanting to let the thing know I was here but was surprised when I saw it backing away after smelling the air. I frown but sigh in relief. Either it was just too stinky for the creepy thing or the smell of the larger creature was enough to keep it away in fear. I didn't have enough energy to care. I find myself curling into a ball as my eye lids grow heavier. I'm so tired.. Rune..

Stuff flies through the air as Rune throws his entire desk at the shadow guards. "Why can't you find them!?" Rune yells as he paces back and forth. He hadn't slept since she was taken and was currently using every resource he has to look for her but they still couldn't find her.. none of them. It doesn't make sense!
He runs his hands through his long hair as he tries to make sense of everything. How could they take her from within my territory? How!? And how was it they could completely disappear without a trace. It was like back in the day with... Rune comes to a stop as he starts connecting the dots. No.. it couldn't be.. they were no longer around.. but it would explain everything.
It would be stupid to think it was impossible for witches to survive.. They were the only ones who could disappear without a trace.. block everything.. control magic in ways that no other fae can. His face is one of shock and horror as he slowly sits down. "Witch.. it's a witch. Ryder has a witch and they now have Syn..."
Ren sucks in as his eyes flash. Everyone in the room knew what this means as they all feel a sense of helplessness come over them. "Contact the mages in the north.. Tell them I will give them anything they want if they can assist us in finding Syn.." Rune says in a low voice. Ren nods and shifts away. Rune lowers his head into his hands as he hopes with everything in him that she's okay.. She has to be. He can still feel her fingers on his as his mind slips back to the moment she was taken. He clenches his fist cracking his knuckles in the process. I'm coming for you love..
