Chapter 8 Looking For Them

Joey was already at the 7th floor of the palace but getting there he discovered that the door was locked and he matched it down an entered inside with Dari behind him.
And the room was obviously empty and Young and Melissa was actually hiding at the back of the cupboard watching what was going on.
Tough Young had an agreement with Melissa before she agreed to hide with him and the agreement was that they should hide and see Joey's reaction first.
So if it becomes positive, Young will surgery the consequences but if what Young said is actually true the Melissa would believe him.
So Joey was shocked immediately he stepped inside the room and couldn't find Melissa neither the baby.
So he turned to Dari and steps close to him angrily "Where the hell is Melissa!" Joey asked with a deep voice.
"I don't know!" Dari replied as Joey asked again with louder voice.
"Where is she!" Joey asked "I swear, I don't know!" Dari responded as Joey grabbed him on his neck immediately.
While Melissa was already breathing heavily watching what was going on as she couldn't believe that Joey will actually come back home just to kill her and his own child as well.
"Are you trying to tell me that you all are inside this palace and yet she ran away! and none of you could stop her! none of you noticed her!?" Joey asked as he continues grabbing Dari who is already struggling in his hand.
"Your Majesty it was Young!" Dari managed to say as Joey stares at him somehow and slowly released his hand out of Dari's neck.
While Dari kept breathing heavily placing his hand on his neck, trying to relieve from the pain.
"Young? did Young get home before my arrival?" Joey asked in surprised because he remembered coming home leaving Young behind, so how come Young is now home before him.
Even if Young is to overtake him then he must surely pass him on the way but he didn't set his eyes on Young at all and they only know one way home.
"Yes, he came back home looking so hurried, and we actually thought that something was after him or maybe our enemies are after him" Dari continues saying.
"But when he get home he ran in immediately, I wanted to go in with him but he insisted that I'm not permitted to go in with him, so that's all I can say" Dari explained as Joey folds his hands.
And nods his head as he began walking around the room.
"So after giving life to Young! after picking him from dirt and making him a Young warrior, he chose to betray me!?" 
"It's fine, I Will find him and if I ever find him I will make sure to peel off his skin" Joey said as he looks at Dari and taps him on his back.
"You have been a very good loyal servant and you are the one I can count on from now on"
"And from this minute, you are now the one next to me! and no longer Young" Joey said as Dari bows for him.
"Thank you your Majesty" Dari said bowing his head.
"Now, tell the guards to start searching all over the palace"
"While you will take some men with you and enter into the woods, forest, wilderness, search for Young and Melissa"
"I need Young alive, and you are free to kill the rest, kill Melissa and the baby" Joey ordered as Dari stares at him in surprise for a seconds before bowing to him.
"Yes your Majesty" Dari said and left the room to accomplish his master's order but was as well wondering why Joey would give such order.
That they should kill his own wife and the new born baby?
However Joey was the only one left inside the room as he approaches the window and was looking outside the building till he felt something as he turns and stares directly at the cupboard.
He stared at the cupboard with a specific look on his face while Melissa began to breathe heavily as she have become so much afraid thinking that Joey has finally noticed them.
"Shhhh!" Young lowly whispered to Melissa, and the whisper was so low that another person can not hear apart from Melissa that he actually whispered for.
So He gently dragged her closer to himself as he can see that Melissa can no longer be able to withstand the pressure of fear.
And so he helped her to cover her mouth as Joey keeps coming straight to their position with his footsteps just sounding one after the other.
When Joey finally approached the cupboard he slowly bent down as Melissa closed her eyes and was already trembling in fear.
Actually she could have screamed very loud if not for Young who was covering her mouth.
So while Joey bent down they watched his hand as it slowly moved down but he picked up something from the ground.
And Young and Melissa breathes out in a sigh of relief discovering that was what called his attention.
So after Joey picked it up and stared at it and it was Melissa's necklace and he kept staring at it till Melissa noticed that it was her necklace that Joey was holding and she began to tremble again as it was clear to her that Joey has found them now.
So after staring at the necklace Joey smiled as he stares at the cupboard again.
And Joey has firmly believed that they are hiding under the cupboard but then his eyes met the window besides the cupboard.
And it was opened and some how rough "No!" he screamed angrily as he become fully distracted from the cupboard with the hope that Young and Melissa escaped through the window and without hesitating he jumped out of the window knowing so well that he is at the 7th floor.
But he was actually hoping to find Melissa and Young before they escapes.
"Hmmm!!" Melissa breathes out heavily immediately Young removed his hand from her mouth and she quickly get away from the cupboard.
Because it was actually making Castor so uncomfortable, it was only a magic that he did not angry during that period.
So Melissa took Castor and sits on her bed where she will have comfortability with her baby and tears began to run out of her eyes.
And then Young stepped out under the cupboard too.
"Please this is not time to start crying, crying here will not help but may put us on a bad condition, we should figure out a way to get out of this place, first of all" Young said as Melissa stares at him.
"Young you know your master very well, please can you tell me the reason why he is trying to kill his own child and his own wife?" Melissa asked with tears as Young approached her and seat besides her as they stares at the new born baby who kept smiling.
"Castor will be so great one day, greater than his father, the Wizard have told me something to tell you about this boy, but I think that this is not a safe place for us to discuss about it"
"I will tell you about him when we get out of this place, because it is a very long story and you actually need a real explanation because he is under your care" Young said as he gets up in other to figure out a way out of the palace.
"But I still demand to know why my husband is trying to kill me if not I am not going to leave here"
"I will stay here and wait for him and watch him kill me!" Melissa insisted with tears on her eyes.
Young stared at her and approached her again "It is because Castor" Young said as Melissa stares at him in surprise.
And that's a question anyone would ask when heard about this, what could little kid like Castor possibly do to him that will make him even think of killing the baby.
But the fact that he is not just a new born baby but actually his own son baffles Melissa the most.
"What could thie little boy do to him that he is planning to kill us?" Melissa asked with tears.
"I believed it was just because of the prophecy that are becoming reality" Young said as Melissa stares at the ground and looks up to him in surprise.
"Reality? what prophecy are you talking about?" Melissa asked acting as if she has forgotten the prophecy of the Witch the day she gave birth to her baby.
Though she also asked that question out of surprised because at first she thought that the Witch was only planning evil against her and not actually the true prophecy, just like Young thought before.
"It was the Witch's prophecy that is pushing him to kill the both of you"
"The prophecy stated that Castor is going to leave a frustrated life starting from his home" Young said as Melissa waves her head.
"Come on, you can't be serious right now, I thought that the Witch were lying? maybe she has manipulated him, yes! she could have manipulated Joey" Melissa said as Young interrupted.
"No Melissa, everything about the prophecy concerning Castor are all Truth, me and Joey met another wizard who confirms it again and as well tell me about Castor's future" Young said as he takes a deep breathe while Melissa was so eager to hear him out.
"Then tell me please" Melissa requested. "Melissa we need to get out of this place first and I will tell you everything you need to know when we are secured" Young promised as Melissa began crying and rests her head on top of Castor's body.
"Please I don't want anything to happen to me or my son! please" Melissa said out of fear and immediately a knock came up at their door.
As they frighteningly flashed their eyes on the door immediately, as they become do scared because it is obvious that Joey is back.
