Chapter 17

" We have to go save them,"Wallace said, pacing up and down the room . They got back to their pack not quite long and all that had been in Wallace's mind was to save the rest that were left there.
" It's too dangerous," Henrik retorted, getting up from where he was laying down earlier. He understood perfectly what he was trying to imply but he had to let everything die down first.
" Think before doing anything rash,what if those vampires are still there and they kill you? ,then you won't be able to save either of them, is that what you want?" Henrik asked him and he knew that he was right. But he wasn't a coward and wouldn't let that stop him from going to save them. It was better to try than not try at all.
" I'm going whether you like it or not,I'm going to take a few men with me and I'm sure we'll be able to save them" he said and Henrik scoffed at him..
Henrik thought that he was just being ridiculous and was acting out of pain. He wasn't thinking which was obvious and Henrik wished he would see it from his point of view.
" Why are you acting so dumb Wallace?, If they see you you're fine for " he told him trying to have patience because all he wanted to do was to fight Wallace right there and then. He wondered why they weren't on the same page and he was acting so adamant .
" So you want me to leave them there to die?" Wallace asked and Henrik kept quiet for some time. He was looking for the perfect answer as a comeback,he didn't want Wallace to see him as an idiot.
"That's not what I'm saying,I'm telling you too wait a while let everything die down then we'll go back and this time we'll plan well , didn't you see how many of our men were slaughtered like animals,do you want that to happen again?,think about at least,I'm sure he wouldn't have wanted this to Happen" Henrik told him and for once after all that he had been saying all day that actually got to him and he began to reason with him but yet he had doubts.
" But what if they're in trouble and they need help?What if those vampires actually get to them or worse kill them?" He asked, feeling scared of the unknown and didn't even want to think about it.
" I know where you are coming from Wallace but remember that they're very powerful and I'm sure that they're going to take care of themselves" Henrik told him, patting his shoulder and Wallace looked up at him.
He knew they were powerful but yet he wasn't just going to rely on the fact that they were powerful and wouldn't need any help. He would be acting like such a coward and heartless person to think that.
" I'll listen to you but not for long,I'll leave this place to search for them first thing tomorrow morning" he told Henrik. He wanted to oppose but also knew that he couldn't go further in trying to change Wallace's mind.
He knew that he was quite stubborn and like that he was passionate about his pack but he still had to take precautions before acting rash.
" Ok,just be safe" Henrik told him and Wallace nodded in response.
They left the corner where they were hiding and decided to return to the town back to their homes.
Wallace felt an uneasy feeling probably about breaking the news to the people. He knew he didn't have too but they were going to find out either way and the real problem was .
He thought about how she would feel knowing that two of her children were gone. Nyra was fine and was in his arms. She was still asleep and he was thankful for that or else she was going to throw a tantrum and probably would head back to the viesryan to look for both her brother and sister.
His thoughts went back to and . He prayed that they were safe and no harm should come to them till he found them.
They arrived at the pack with a few other men who had survived the battle and got to the pack after trekking a little into the town part where the palace and their home were located.
They saw everyone waiting outside for them, probably ready to hear the news they had. They just ignored them and walked into their houses.
They weren't ready to disclose any news to anyone especially with the fact that the two people may still be alive and all they had to do was to start a search party for them.
" Where are they?" They both heard a voice and turned to see . Thru greeted her but she just ignored their greetings. She had other things and she wanted to know the truth.
" I'm sorry " Wallace told her and she tried holding back her tears .
" No,it's can't be possible they have to be alive" she said
" It's not confirmed whether or not they're dead but all we know for now is that they are missing but rest assured that we'll go tomorrow to find them" Wallace told her and she tried getting her senses trying to put together all that they had said but she couldn't .
" So you lost the battle?' she asked and they nodded in response. Neither of them wanted to respond to her question scared of what she might do so they just nodded.
" We lost many soldiers so we think it will go much of a haste to start a search party after everything that happened" Henrik told her and she didn't really know what to do.
" Don't worry your highness we'll do everything we can to make sure that we find them" he was obviously trying to lift her hopes up but that didn't help her.
She just stood there not knowing what to do and let the tears flow freely from her eyes.
