CHAPTER ELEVEN

Heartily Manor

“ Your brother is in our captive…if you don’t bring me all the stones

to the Sacred Cave of Treasures, then be prepare to say good bye to your dear brother…”

Jack Heartily crumpled up the piece of paper in his hand and threw it on the ground.

“That’s…it?” asked Edward as he bends down to pick up the paper by his older brother’s feet.

“Leon is captured, all right,” Jack said, clenching his fists together. “That marquess got him.”

“And he wants our stone in exchange for Leon’s life?” Phoenix inquired, looking down at the diamond bracelet on her wrist. “What should we do?”

“There’s not much we can do,” said Chance. “He knows we’re back in Bridlington already.”

“How did Leon get captured anyway?” asked Blake. “Does it have to do with…?”

“Lady Rose Caralina Dawson,” Namine put in, holding up a card. “I got these wedding invitations from the letterman this morning. There was one for each of us.”

“What?” Gabriel snatched it from her and opens it up. “Lady Rose…that’s the daughter of Viscount Herring.”

“The old lover of our brother!” Lavender exclaimed. “Sweet!”

“No wonder he said he didn’t want the wife of the marquess to become a widow,” said Jack, recalling the conversation he had with his brother. “I understand it now.”

“She betrayed him, I bet!” Sheik put in. “She probably set him up for the marquess!”

“She wouldn’t do such a thing, would she?” Aidan couldn’t quite believe it. “She loved Leon.”

“And Leon broke her heart the day we all left,” said Jack. “It’s possible that she set him up.”

“But we don’t know for sure,” said Avangelene. “Leon did break her heart, but we can’t say she used him for revenge.”

“We must do something to go save him,” Jack said, sitting down on the couch and propping a hand behind his head. “We must think of something.”

“Our jewels are the only things they wanted,” said Phoenix. “What else is there to save Big Brother?”

“He would never want us to sacrifice the jewels for his life, that’s for sure,” said Aidan. “He told us how important they were already.”

“I think half of us should go out to help Leon,” Avangelene put in. “The other half should stay here and be on the lookout if the marquess is to send in anymore messages, or worst, attack us. The Marquess of Lansing has many guards and troops in his control. They are all welltrained and great in military combat. Drake and Simeon and I almost couldn’t…” She stopped herself, leaving her siblings in confusion. “Anyway, you get the idea.”

“I don’t know how you know that, but all right,” Jack said, getting back up on a sitting position. “Why don’t Blake, Chance, Gabriel and Sheik stay here with Namine and you girls while Edward and Aidan go with me to Islington to see where we might find Leon?”

“Can’t I go, too?” asked Avangelene. “I know where–”

“Avangelene, someone has to cook for us since Aidan’s going,” said Sheik. “I won’t be able to be on the lookout with an empty stomach.
