Aaaaand here you are.

I completed Aud’s recue and added a couple funny romance sections. For both couples.😉 I don’t think it’s to cringy though DSL. You should be good.😂

Ummm I revealed Aud’s point of view...so we can start making preparations! And we should start adding reasons for why our loved ones were killed. Mostly-exception of Aidens dad.

I like how the shelf above their beds has become the running joke. It’s so random, but it’s hilarious!!

RITA

Life. It can be interpreted so many different ways eh? One second it can be the greatest gift on earth, the second it’s the worst place filled with darkness. Luckily light is never gone for long, day comes again, and with a new day, comes a new chance to make things right. My friends are my light. They have really been helpful these past few days, what with Aud’s supposed death.

I woke up and sat up straight, finally free of the threat of that villainous shelf. Though, as I sat up, I looked on my nightable and saw a picture of Aud. Her bright vibrant eyes and big smiling mouth that never seemed to stop moving...Her messy hair she NEVER combed. I chuckled at the thought. Then that laugh melted into a small tear. I grabbed the picture, kissed it and held it close to my heart.

“If your still alive Aud, I’m coming to get you. I promise.”

Then putting the frame back down I looked on the floor at Nebbie. She was peacefully sleeping and I went down and sat next to her. She groggily moved her head into my lap and yawned.

“Good morning Nebbie.” I cooed. She yawned in reply and I kissed her snout. Then looking at the picture of Aud and I started pouring all my worries on Nebbie.

“Oh Nebbie. What if Aud is alive? Then that means she is still In captivity and  I’m sure she’s hungry and cold, they probably aren’t feeding her too well. What if they hurt her? What if she has some cuts and bruises? Oh Nebbie I’m so scared for her...” I finished. Nebbie nestled her head into my lap and wrapped her wings around me. Then she turned a soft yellow color. Peacefulness. My dragon was the best. I kissed her head again and said “ thanks Nebbie. Should we go check on spark? It’s time for his breakfast...” She begrudgingly moaned and then we flew out my door and over to the stables. I grabbed a tuna and hauled in across the stable to Spark.

“Here....boy! Ugh.” I said while painting. Spark greedily devoured the big Tuna and then let out a loud fish smelling burp.

“Ugh. Boy! Remember your manners!!” Then I walked up to him and took his saddle off. I opened the door to let him go. He usually likes to fly on his own for a bit and exercise. He doesn’t mind carrying people, but everyone needs time to themselves. Even dragons! He gratefully nodded and then flew out the door almost crashing into Vix who had landed on the platform outside the base. He ran in breathless.

“Rita. Perfect! The number one person I need to talk to.” He said breathlessly.

“Woah. Take a breath Vix! What happened?!”

“Rita...I overheard a conversation from that guy I saw the other night,” I clenched my fists, praying for good news. “Aud is alive Rita!” I screamed in delight and jumped on Vix giving him a huge hug. Aud. Alive! Oh never better news in my life!!!!

“Vix! Oh Vix! Thank you thank you thank youuuuuu!” I loudly said, happy tears formed in my eyes.

“Uh. Your welcome...”He said painfully. I realized I was still hugging him a little to tightly so I let go saying,

“Sorry...”

“Eh it’s fine...”

Then Kate and Aiden ran into the room.

“What happened?”

“Why the shouting?”

I took a deep breath with a hug smile and then gushed out,

“AUD IS ALIVEEEEEE!”

Aidens face broke into a grin and Kate ran up and hugged me. We jumped and squealed  in circles while the boys just watched in amusement.

The Isla, Kat and Michael walked in asking what happened. I blurted the good news to them as well and Isla and Kat joined in our parading jumping celebration. The guys still just stared in amusement. I don’t think they’ve gotten used to our quirky ways of celebration. Isla looked so happy. My face was practically stretched to the limits and the others were smiling broadly. But then I abruptly stopped.

“Wait. What are we doing? She is still with that jerk face. We have to get her back!!!” I yelled marching out the door, Isla followed but then the Aiden and Michael dragged us back in the room despite our protesting.

“Woah woah woah you two! We need a proper plan before we do anything. Vix knows her whereabouts so give me a half hour to just put a plan together with him. Okay?” Aiden said.

I nodded and Kate suggested we take a walk. Isla and Kat came along as well and soon my mind was distracted (barely) as my friends and I took a half hour break from life. We were having quite the nice time until a very awkward scene had to ruin the moment. Erick jumped out of the bushes from nowhere...again.

“Erick!” I said surprised.

“Afternoon M’lady. Hope you’ve been doing alright me little dearie.” He said in that hilarious grandma voice again. Isla snickered in the back and Kat just coughed a laugh away. Kate just had that revengeful smile on her face...ohhhh no...

Of course I got his joke, but they had no idea.

“So Rita...who is his friend of yours? Dearie...” Kate said, that smile still on her face. I gulped nervously and said,

“Guys! This is Erick! Erick, these are my friends and fellow guardians, Isla, Kate and Kat.” Erick smiled saying hello, to which the others all replied the same.

“So how did you two meet?” Kate said. Oh thorrrr....

“Ah! It was quite the story you see...I was walking amidst these emerald green forests when I jumped out in front of this lovely little lady here with eyes to match the forest green. Then-“

“Then we just had a regular conversation and introduction. I put him on the innocently attacked list and promised to keep him posted. That’s. It. Seriously.” I interrupted Erick to save my self. Of course his dearie and lady comments were all in jest, but my friends had no way of knowing that. Erick nodded as to affirm my dull description.

“Huh. I see...”Kate said. Isla and Kat snickered again. I wanted to sink into the mud. No no no! They were taking this in the wrong direction.

“Oh wow! Look at the time. We have to go save my sister now so we gotta go. I’ll keep you posted! Bye Erick!” I said while hastily pushing my friends away from the scene. Once we were a distance from him, Kate stepped in front of me, still smiling.

“Kate. Wait. No. Stop. Wait! No! It’s not what you think. He likes to exaggerate things in jest. Nothings going on....”

“Uh huh. Right,” Kate cut in, “just exactly how many secret meetings have you two had?” She said with a smirk on her face.

“Once! I swear! Nothings going on Kate! Please don’t do what I know your thinking of doing.” I begged. Gods why did I do this to her?! She’s totally gonna get revenge now...

“Are you kidding me? You have done this to me ever since you all suspected Aiden and I being a thing. There’s no way I can leave this as nothing.” Kate predictably retorted. Oh Thor.....Just when I though it couldn’t get any worse, the other two abandoned their snickering and joined in.

“So Rita....”

An hour later my friends temporarily forgot about that awkward situation (thank Thor!) and we were on our way to get Aud back. (Thank Thor!)

Aiden and Vix put together a brilliant plan. And arriving at the area, my whole body tensed. Kat and Vix ran to get the guards attention while Aiden and Kate stood guard outside the fishing hut. Isla and I ran in to get Aud.

We opened the door and walked down the hall. The whole place smelled of fish guts and unclean people. It was dark, dry and cold. I peered through the little food whole at the door in the hall. Someone was in there. I prayed it was Aud and we unbolted the door before running in. I gasped and covered my mouth. My sister....was...I couldn’t find the words.

She stood there gasping in pain and squinting at the light. Her body was torn up and most of her clothes were gone or shredded. Thankfully just Isla and I were there. The shredded clothing showed most of her cuts; Huge gashes up and down her whole body. I ran to her side where she finally was able to see through the light.

“Rita!?” She gasped.

“I’m here Aud. You didn’t think I would leave you? Right?” I said. I didn’t want to hug her, I was afraid I might hurt her, but I stroked the top of her head, ignoring her dirty state. A single tear slipped down her face and then she saw Isla.

“Isla!!!” Aud said happily. Isla broke into a smile.

“You know I’m never gonna let you out of my sight again. Right?” Isla said while joining me in patting her head. It was literally the only part of her we could touch without hurting her. Aud smiled even broader. Then Aiden yelled down the hall,

“You guys good? Can we come back?”

“Uh. Wait a second. We need a blanket. Isla will you go grab it?” She nodded and stood up to run down the hallway. She came back with Kate, and we slowly lifted Aud up and into the blanket. She gasped in pain and I winced. I hated that Harn guy for doing this to her. I hated myself for leaving her. Once she was wrapped up, we called Aiden back to help us carry her out to Nebbie. Poor Aud, all that movement probably really hurt her.

She was hoisted up onto my lap. I held her tenderly. Just then Vix and Kat flew to us.

“We distracted them for now, but more are coming. We have to get out of here ASAP!” Vix said. I nodded, the rest mounted and we flew off. Aud gasped at the cold air and the jerky movements. I tried to hold Nebbie still but we had to get out of there pretty fast.

Ten minutes later we reached the hospital. We landed on the landing pad and a stretcher on wheels was brought out. I reluctantly gave Aud to the nurses who wheeled her from my sight. I stared watching her disappear through the doorway. Kate came up and patted my back.

“She’ll be okay Rita. In the mean time we have other stuff to discuss.” She said smirking. Oh boy. Not this again...

“Oh yea like the fact that you and Aiden are a couple!” I said. Aiden spit out the water he was drinking out of his canteen. It was hilarious.

“WHAT?!” He said still choking on the water he had drank down the wrong pipe.

“No...more like what’s up with you and Erick!” Kate said trying to cover up her embarrassment.

“Oh? Whose Erick?” Aiden said in an intrigued voice.

Oh Thor...it was gonna be a long evening. These people cannot just leave it simple. Argh. I looked helplessly at Isla who just shrugged and snickered as Kate blabbered her misinterpreted story to Aiden. What a day.

AUD

Warmth. Comfort. Soft pillows? Was I feeling this right? I couldn’t tell, all I felt was safe. I slowly opened my eyes letting my eyes feast on the bright colorful world around me. Rita was sitting right next to me, holding my bandaged hand. Isla was at the foot of the bed, a relieved sigh escaped her. I looked at my bandaged body.

“Thor that’s a lot of bandages.” I muttered. Isla just snorted and said

“Yea. Girl I really gotta train you better.

Until then, your going on a leash.”

I snickered and said,

“Oh boy...just what I need....”

Rita just laughed and shook her head.

“How are you feeling?”

“Like I just got out of a torture chamber.”

Rita just rolled her eyes laughing. It felt so good to hear that. To see Isla’s smile, to rest in soft pillows and to feel clean.

Was my hair brushed? It felt nice and smooth! But then I heard a knock on the door.

“Come in!” Rita called. Michael walked into the room and said,

“Yellow! How we all doin’?”

Yellow. Yellow. Mr. ugly yellow teeth! The plan!

“Yellow!” I blurted out. Rita stared at me.

“Mr. ugly yellow teeth!” I blurted again. Oof I sounded stupid. Isla started cracking up.

“You...ha. You mean...hahaha! Mr. ha. Harn?” Isla laughed before bursting into a fit of laughter.

“I don’t know. But he said something about a captain Ha-ha- HAVARDR. He is leading the ugly yellow guy to destroy the hidden world!”

“Woah woah woah Aud! Slow down! Who is this Havardr guy?” Rita asked. Isla was just getting over he laughing fit. I don’t know why that name was so funny to her, it was just the facts.

“The guy who captured me, works for somebody with other evil people. Michael! He said your name. He mentioned your brother being trained. They want to destroy the hidden world!” I said. Michael’s face went white.

“My brother is to naïveté. He wouldn’t work for evil people. They’ve probably warped his brain. But if he’s being trained under them, I’ve gotta up my game.”

“I should probably go talk to Aiden and Kate. Those two will know more...”Rita said. Then she squeezed my hand and ran out the door. That just left Isla and I in an awkward silence with Michael. Then I noticed the flowers in his hand.

“Okay...um. Ready to go Isla?” Michael said.

“Yup!” Isla said grabbing her crossbow off the desk.”

“Go where?” I smirked.

“Training.” Michael innocently said.

“With flowers?” I proded.

“Oh. Oh these are for you. I figured it would be something a little more colorful to look at while your here.” Michael said.

“Oh. Thanks.” I said looking at Isla. She gave me a “did you seriously just think that?!” Look. I smiled innocently. Then she ran out the room with Michael yelling her goodbyes. I smiled contentedly and closed my eyes to get more sleep.
