Unique walk through the woods she rounded it several times but it seems she was lost, she couldn't find her way back to the festival.
"Oh God, how do I get out of here, I didn't know I had come this far, what if they are wild animals in here? It the supernatural realm right, there wouldn't be wild animals right?" Unique sigh she didn't know what to think anymore.
The place was dark and she could barely see her footings.
"Garrett would be furious if he knew I left the festival, he didn't want me to come anyway.
Unique turn and made her way to the other side of the forest, she wasn't sure if she was going deeper in or if she was closer to the outside.
Unique stop rigidly on her feet, she heard a stick twing, was someone else in the forest. She looked around the place seems void of people, not like anyone loves spending their precious time in the woods.
Unique turned again and this time she was met with a huge animal, she could barely make out it image but it white thick teeth snapping at her was the evident that she was about to become a night snacks.
It growled at her and Unique swallow not wanting to scream Incase there were more of them.
She dash away blindly running from the beast that was now on her heels.
It was fast but she had now gain a strength of an athlete, she don't intend to be eaten not today not ever. The two wrestle with their legs through the woods running so fast playing tag.
As the beast was gaining a leverage, unique took a turn but the turn she took was a wrong one, she lost her footing and fell down, she rolled off the ground hitting stones after stones and finally rolling into the edge of a cave which was running with water.
Unique passed out her head bleeding at the top of a stone, half her body on the stream of water,she laid there through the night.
........
Garrett turn to face Nolan and Ambrosia, he didn't look frantic neither does he look like he was about to loose it, but Ambrosia knew that expression too well. He will turn the festival into a mourning ground if Unique wasn't found.
How come he had a human in his care, he always hated weaker beings, what was between him and Unique for him to care so much about her missing.
"She must still be around am sure, she wouldn't have wonder off too far, if she was taken away or anything the guards would have informed me, am sure there's no such thing we will find her" Nolan said to Garrett who remained quiet.
Garrett turned and began searching for through the nearby wood, he looked around through out the entire night, but he couldn't find a trace of Unique. He went back home at the call of dawn hoping to find Unique back home but that was a wrong guess.
Fernandez informed Sophie that Unique had gone to pay a visit to Garrett distance relative.
Garrett went underground and opened the cage where he kept Caspian, the wild dog growl upon it master arrival.
Garrett had a piece of Unique clothing in his hand he drop it to Caspian footing, the dog took a sniff of it and brought out it tongue releasing tons of breaths.
Garrett went back to the woods this time bringing along the court search team and Caspian who was sniffing around the woods moving forward.
Julian was the one holding the wild dog, he was able to because Caspian was familiar with the male.
The search team spread around the woods in search of Unique, they were putting a lot of effort in finding the female , although it wasn't an official order. No one knew she was human.
.......
Ambrosia sat at the terrace of her room, she was worried for Nolan, Garrett was keeping it in because Nolan was an official and he was in charge of Maldives, it will be wrong to make the man sleep an eternity.
Nolan didn't sit on his hands neither he had sent out his troops to look for Unique.
Ambrosia wondered where Unique must have set off to, she was with them through out the night, she didn't seem like the irresponsible type, the human was sort of gentle and soft spoken a total lady her mother would like, and speaking of mothers Lady Fisher walk into Ambrosia room.
"Ambrosia dear, are you busy..... It doesn't matter if you are, the duke is here to see"
Ambrosia dropped her phone on the table, although they were in the realm and the network isn't that awesome, she was still able to connect to the human realm and check up on her business.
"The duke?"
"Yes duke Stefan, he's such an awesome man, he came looking for you after he saw you at the tea party about a week ago.
"Hmmm, I see" Ambrosia wasn't a bit interested but she didn't want to sound rude by not welcoming him.
Ambrosia made her way down the stairs she was clouded in a mini red gown that stopped below her thighs, she moved effortlessly down the stairs.
She came to a stop Infront of a tall man who was dressed in a black satin T-shirt and a black trousers.
"A pleasant morning to you Duke Stefan"
"Pleasant morning" the duke nodded a reply.
"My mother informed me you came all the way from viewpoints to seek my presence, of I am pardon to ask why?" Ambrosia asked going straight to the point not having the strength to beat around the bush.
The duke chuckle. "As they say you indeed are straight forward, I will deliver it to you as asked", the duke release his hand that he was pocketing and presented a ring to Ambrosia who stare at it intently before saying.
"Is that diamond?"
The duke surprised by her question also look at the ring again.
"Err.... Yes it is", the duke replied.
"I know diamond are sort of female best friend but I detest diamonds, sapphire would have been better though, so that means there's no marriage duke Stefan am sorry " Ambrosia said to him, the duke stare at her unsure if he should suggest getting her a sapphire ring or she just flatly rejected him.
"If you may excuse me now, I have other matters to take care of, it an honor to get a visit from a man like you" Ambrosia said before moving up the stairs, her mother who had been eves dropping rush down stairs to appease the man.
"Oh duke Stefan, she's just simply tired she mean nothing she said, am sure this can be fixed another time."
Mrs Fisher escorted the duke outside, she came back in and shouted furiously.
"What have you done Ambrosia are you bent on embarrassing me in the community, have you no sense ? a duke came to ask your hands in marriage and you wand him off with disgrace, are you planning to waste your bloodline and remain single forever " her mother was angry her voice echo the vast living room.
Ambrosia paid her no ears she walked away not in the mood for a speech combat.
*****
After the search team had left Garrett waited behind , he went deeper into the forest still in search of Unique.
As he went further in, he stop as Caspian took a sniff on the soil, he began growling which made Garrett to move forward.
Garrett squat and noticed shoe prints on the wet soil and paw prints which looks nothing like Caspian's.
Caspian took him forward and he suddenly stop, Caspian began barking and growling at the edge of a free fall.
He was wagging his tail furiously, Garrett knew the wild dog catch on something down there, Garrett sniff the air and a thick waffle of blood filled the air.
Garrett crimson eyes shoot out, he knew the smell of that too well.
Garrett took Caspian and went through the other root leading down, finally getting below there was a cave entrance where a stream was coming out from within.
Garrett look around the cave and almost went further it.
Caspian suddenly rush forward and stop he began barking furiously while growling.
Garrett moved over to the barking dog trying to see what was making him react. He stopped his scowl snuck in deeper. Infront of him was Unique laid in the pool of water her hair soaked in blood and a side of her face was covered with blood.
Caspian whimpered he felt the thick aura oozing out of his master, he receded back away from Garrett whose coldness was making him shiver.
