❤️ My Hostage (Part 3) ❤️

He didn't need any lamplight to show him the way to Storm's room. His eyes were perfectly fine and can see in the dark.

There was no guard standing outside Storm's room door. When he tried to touch the door, a sword pressed on his neck, another one on his back, Morgan breathing came to a stop when he turned towards the direction the sword on his neck was coming from.

"Sorry Prince Morgan," A voice which belonged to a male said coming out from the shadow and taking his sword out from his neck, the sword on his back also withdrew. "We thought you were an intruder," he added softly.

Morgan recognizes him immediately and when he turns around to look at the one behind him, he also recognizes him. They were with Storm, his father Ninjas who looks more mature than they did twelve years ago. He didn't see them when he arrived, maybe because they were wearing clothes as dark as night.

"So you were here when I came?" Morgan asked in a surprise tone.

"Yes my Prince," the one who first spoke, said again.

"But I didn't see any of you."

"That's because we blend with the shadows," the second Ninjas said. "It's our nature to blend in with the night so that we will go unnoticed by our enemies. You should know how Ninjas work since you grew up with them." he added sarcastically.

"Let me remind you that I am the next Emper-"

A new familiar voice cuts in. "Yeah, you are always saying that aren't you tired of it? Singing with the name every single time you come across me or my men."

"I wasn't even talking to you, Storm."

"You are talking to them which means you are also talking to me," Storm said and stood before him. "Why are you here?" he asked.

"I came to check on-"

Storm Interrupted him softly with a smile, "On me?"

Pretending as if Storm didn't interrupt him, "-on Gwen."

"What for?" his smile trading places with his frown.

"She hasn't come to my room and I want to see if she is here or not."

"Well as you can see I am outside and her queenship is inside my room. She chased me out of my own bed." Storm literally growled out the words when he remembered Gwen falling asleep and using her foot to push him out of his bed, covering all the bed with her body, hands and legs. The ground was too cold for him to sleep on and that was why he came out of his room to sleep on the rooftop and he was succeeding in that until he heard the footsteps of Morgan.

"Okay, I will go to my room then," Morgan said after a minute and turned to the direction of his room. "And don't tell Gwe-"

"Didn't plan on doing that ass.ho.le, now get the hell out of here and allow me to enjoy the cold night in peace or do you want to also check on the roof too?"

"Whatever." Spitting out the words, Morgan left.

Within seconds Storm was at the rooftop, he lay on it and closed his eyes. He felt the presence of someone staring at him. He opened his eyes and saw nothing, he looked around him but still got nothing. He closed his eyes again and slept off.

Five minutes later, the cloaked figure appeared beside him and leaned down carefully to touch Storm's hair. Nothing happened. He tried again and placed both hands together on Storm's head and still yet, nothing. Storm groaned and opened his eyes and met nothing. He could have sworn he felt the hands of someone or something on his head, looking around him once again and not wanting to take chances, he closed his eyes and the metals used in the rooftop all circled him, forming a cage around him.

"Bas.tard," the dark cloaked figure said as he was floating in the air, above Storm, putting down his invisibility. "Why can't I get into his head? Getting into Dean's head was easy."

He was gone and was seen next to a sleeping Kira. Stroking her cheeks with care and gentleness. "Soon, just soon, I will have you after I figure out a way to stop my obstacle, after all I am....." he didn't get to complete his statement when he heard a noise coming from Kando cell. He made himself invisible.

"Kira woke up!" Kando's voice was loud and that shout woke up Kira.

"What's your problem Kando, can't a lady have her beauty sleep?" Kira groans from where she was and opens her eyes to glare at Kando, the shreds of sleep in her eyes start fading.

"I think I saw someone besides you."

"You think? You think!! You think you saw someone besides me and that was why you rudely woke me up. Once we get back to Kudarma I am kicking your ass for a full week."

"I am serious, whoever it is was touching you and when I wanted to carefully look at him he was gone."

"You are sick upstairs."

"I'm serious Kira, don't sleep, he might still be here."

"So I shouldn't sleep because of an empty cell? Kando, we are not having this discussion."

"Kira I am not joking, I am damn serious and believe me or not, I can still sense the intruder," Kando said, his eyes roaming around the dark in Kira's cell. He has good eyesight and could see things in the dark perfectly.

"Well, since you are the only one who could sense the intruder, then you can watch over me. That's your job in case you've forgotten." Kira went back to sleep, though her eyes were closed she was wide awake. She just said those things to annoy Kando the most.

Kando gritted his teeth as he stared at Kira's back angrily. He could swear with his life that he saw a man standing over Kira and was touching her, he was sure of it. A different scent was in the cell and he knows it is the intruder. He couldn't sleep now. What if the intruder takes Kira away from him, what will he tell Dean? He didn't want to take any chances so he kept his eyes on Kira cells.

The dark cloaked figure nearly throws off his invisibility to taunt Kando but decides against it. He could sense Kira was pretending to sleep and did not want to blow his cover yet......not yet....not now....soon.....but not now. He disappeared and appeared in his lair. His lair wasn't dark, a single candle light brightened up the place he was in, which looked like a cave. He walked over to the cell in the cave. Seeing the person behind the cell brought a large smile on his lips.

"After so many years of searching I finally found him, Phoenix."
