Chapter six
Greenville orphanage home.
"This is the seventh time we're asking to go look for Vanessa, and we've been turned down every single time," Toshiba said with a distraught expression.
He closes the door to the administrative office before walking after Richie.
"They claim that the police is searching for her, and we've seen no results for the past three weeks," Richie said without turning around, "if they won't let us, we will search for her no matter what it takes." He added.
"I hope you have your laptop ready, we leave tonight with any clue we get before then," Richie continued.

Jace sat in his room, toying with his fingers, he loved Vanessa so much, he was downtrodden.
He looked sideways when Oscar, his roommate got up from his bed, packing his phone and headset.
"Don't worry I'll take care of Vanessa." Oscar mocked Jace and walked towards the door
Someone knocked on the door, and Oscar opened it to see Vanessa and Hudson.
"Vanessa, I was just on my way to see you," Oscar said putting on his most adorable smile.
"We're not here to see you, we're here to see Jace." Hudson rolled his eyes at Oscar, and walks past him.
"Oh," Oscar muttered softly, with an hint of jealousy and disappointment in his voice.
Vanessa nodded at him, and walked past him, after which he closed the door.
Jace, noticing their presence stood up, with hopes high.
"We need to talk to you privately," Vanessa said with a stoic expression, trying to sound as cold as she could.

"Someone wants me dead!" Jace exclaimed.
"Yes," Hudson replied.
"Then the person should be ready to get it from me and I mean really hard." Jace hit his fist on his palm
"No, we think whoever wants you dead is the same person that attacked me when you were busy making out with my best friend," Vanessa said.
"We'll have to escape, the person was able to do marvellous things like creating a door out of nowhere, like this," Vanessa said and used her fingers to draw out a door shape on the wall.
To everyone's surprise, her fingers shone and a real door appeared.
"Oooh" they all exclaimed.
"What do you think is behind that door?" Jace asked.
"If don't know, it could be an empty room or a beautiful garden," Vanessa replied and Hudson slowly opened the door.
Alas! behind it was a very beautiful garden.
"Wow," Vanessa exclaimed.
Jace then looked at his hands and drew a door on the wall as a real door also appeared.
"A castle," Jace said and opened the door to reveal a magnificent castle.
Hudson then tried to do the same but to be avail.
"Why can't you do it?" Vanessa asked. At the exact moment, her's and Jace's pendant piece began to glow.
"The pendant," Jace and Vanessa said at the same time.
Jace then took it off his neck and Hudson looked at it. Hudson's eyes widened and a look of recognition lit up on his face.
"I had this," Hudson said.
"What do you mean you had this?" Jace asked in confusion.
"I threw it away since it was disturbing me while breaking into this academy," Hudson replied.
"I'll go find it, I think I know where I dropped it," Hudson said and ran out of the room, leaving Jace and Vanessa alone in the room in an awkward silence.
"I'll follow him," Vanessa said and turned to go but Jace grabbed her hands and spun her towards him.
He swiftly caught her and kissed her while holding her to himself.
🎵My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind 🎵
As they kissed, Vanessa suddenly broke apart from Jace and ran out of the room
🎵 Drawing me in and you kicking me out
Got my head spinning, no kidding
I can't pin you down 🎵
A drop of tears trickles down Jace right eye.

"We couldn't find it," Hudson said as he and Vanessa entered the room.
"For now our priority should be helping Jace get secured, we'll find your pendant piece later," Vanessa said.
"Which way?" Jace asked.
"The castle, a castle should have more than enough provisions for two nights" Hudson said.

Jasmine is shown eavesdropping on Hudson, Jace and Vanessa's conversation and then walks away.

Lucille's POV.
The door to my room suddenly flinged open and Jasmine jumped in looking excited.
"What's this display of stupidity!" I yelled.
"Oh sorry" Jasmine said.
"It's just that I have extremely good news," she continued.
"Go on" I said, giving her a sharp cold stare, intimidating her.
"Hudson's the one with the last piece of the lunarike pendant,"
Jasmine said making me surprised and at the same time happy at locating my third and final target.
"But the bad part is that he can't find it." Jasmine said.
"What!" I exclaimed, how on earth could he have misplaced it, as I pondered on it, Jasmine spoke.
"Hudson, Jace and Vanessa knows of your plans, they plan to escape through a magical door," Jasmine said and I opened my mouth, shocked.
I intended to take care of Jace first, but on the bright side, they are all in the same place.
I'll kill two birds with one stone. I smiled and giggled evilly.

Greenville orphanage home.
"The footage from the cam shows them leaving in a yellow ford but the ones on the street that goes from here shows no yellow ford passing through it in more than an hour after they left," Toshiba said.
"Where could they have passed?" Richie asked.
"They couldn't have disappeared," he continued.
"There is one way out though it is in the middle of the bush adjacent from here and the road isn't even in the city's map, it leads to nowhere." Toshiba swallowed.
"It won't do us any bad to check it out."

The palace of Vardasia.
"Lyka, gather ten men, the best, we'll both be going this time, I'm getting all other three parts of the lunarike pendant," Valentine said, partly armoured.
"Yes my Liege." Lyka bowed slightly before turning to leave.

"Ah, I love this place," Hudson said as he threw a cherry into his mouth.
"This is what I call living Life like a king," Jace said lying on a rocking chair.
"Enjoy all you want now, this night is the full moon so we are leaving tomorrow." Vanessa said and suddenly a door appeared on the castle's wall.
"What is that?" Vanessa said and as Hudson rushed to block it, a blast pushed them all backward and a man stepped in.
"You." Vanessa said seeing the man.
The man then slowly morphed into Lucille.
"Lucille!" They all exclaimed.
"Yes, it's surprising, isn't it? I can shape shift," Lucille said, smiling before her expression suddenly morphed into a fierce one.
"Tell me you didn't shapeshift into me and kiss Amber." Jace said furiously.
"Yes, so? Now to business, your pendants?" Lucille demanded authoritatively.
"Our pendants?" Vanessa asked.
"What is this pendant and why does everyone want it?" Hudson asked.
"Immense power," Lucille replied with a smirk and her claws extracted; her fangs sticking out.
She then fully shapeshifted into a wolf and leaped forward to pounce on Jace but Vanessa suddenly transformed and got in the way pushing Lucille off.
"Give up, it's three against one," Hudson said transforming into a wolf.
"No we are even," Jasmine said as she and Matthew stepped in.
A look of surprise then lit up on Matthew's face but it soon washed away.
"Give up the pendants, they are mine," Matthew said.
"You mean, they are mine,"
Valentine said as he, Lyka and ten other guards stepped in.
Everyone then morphed into wolfs and howled before charging at each other.

Jace leaped up and slashed royal guard with his claws before bending to avoid a claw.
He grabbed the hand and twisted it sending him to the ground.
He inhaled as two guards charged a him from behind knocking him out unconscious.
Vanessa stabbed a guard in the throat with her claws as Hudson slashed across a guards skin punching him unconscious.
The two watched as a guard charged at Hudson and another at Vanessa.
Hudson and Vanessa winked at each other and suddenly leaped out of the way making the both guards clash into one another making them go unconscious.
Hudson and Vanessa then tapped hands, but unknown to them, two guards struck them making them go unconscious.
"You are no match for me, your father saw this and made me general instead of you," Valentine said as he morphed into a wolf with the full moon appearing in the sky.
Angry, Matthew charged at Valentine and pounced on Valentine but Valentine held his hand pushing him off.
Valentine then brought his claws down for Matthew but Matthew rolled away and suddenly removed a silver knife.
He stabbed at Valentine but the silver knife broke off.
"Surpriiise" Valentine said.
"You are a silver blood!" Matthew exclaimed.
