I took Tina by the hand and we headed back into town as I heard Aneka’s voice in the background I held on Tina’s hand tighter until I couldn’t hear Aneka’s voice.
“Darling? Where are you going? Wait for me? Darling? ... He left with that woman.”- She said looking down. “Did I say something wrong?”
“I don’t think you did anything wrong, my brother is pretty oblivious to many things including a pretty girl’s feelings”- Hikaru approached her. “Hello we haven’t been properly introduced I am Hikaru Elohim, Zack Elohim’s twin brother.”
“I thought you looked familiar but my Darling is better looking than you.”- She responded looking away from him and asks “Who is that woman he is walking with?”
Hikaru glared at her but quickly regained his composure. “That would be Miss Cristina Barstow; she is Zack’s love interest.”- He replied hoarsely.
“So she is my rival? Well I will not lose to her.”- She replied while heading into town. “Thanks for the info Mister Whoever you are.”
“My name is Hikaru”- He told her, turning back towards the gate and smiled. “I should be thanking you little girl.”
As Hikaru checks himself in the guard’s post on the gate telling them that he is going out again he looks around discreetly to make sure he is not being fallowed as he leaves town. With a smile on his face he moves deep in the forest, there in a small hill is a cave well hidden by thick bushes and tall grass, he enters the cave carefully to not disturb the grass and bushes surrounding the entrance. Inside the cave, he lights up a torch and heads in deeper, at the end of the cave he sets the torch in a pedestal and opens a trunk he placed there, in the walls of the cave lay hanging several heads of various people, on the floor are their personal belongings and to the side a small mount of bloodied clothes.
“Thanks to that little girl my plan will go more smoothly all I need now is the perfect spot.”- He takes a map out of the trunk and unfolds it on top of the lid. “Mandrake Valley is a great spot it’s far away from town and there no roads close by plus no one would be stupid enough to cross the forest to get to it.”- He begins to gather the equipment he would require to make a trap. “All I need now is the perfect excuse to get Zack to come to my little trap, Tina will be so heart broken that she will need someone to help her forget about my brother’s ‘accident’”- He smiles as he leaves the cave as carefully as he entered.

“What really happened today in the forest Zack?”- Tina finally asked after we arrived at her father’s bakery.
