Katie couldn't believe her eyes, there was a ghost in front of her and she tried to confront it.

The ghost didn't even seem to notice her so Katie backed away slowly to a tree. Since she wasn't exactly looking at where she was going, she stumbled on a root of the tree and fell on her butt hard with the tree behind her.

The ground shook and the drops of water on the tree all fell down, some landing on her hair and clothes.

The ghost's head snapped up and rotated 180 degrees to where Katie was. She got shivers down her spine as the ghost stood up from her spot and looked at her.

Before she could think of getting up, the ghost's scream pierced the air and she could no longer feel her eardrums.

She cursed under her breath as she scrambled to get up and run to Bandit.

That ghost was a banshee and if she was hearing it crying and screaming, someone in her family is gonna die soon.

She covered her ears not wanted to believe it but the banshee kept wailing past her covered ears. She pulled Bandit far away until the banshee stopped screaming.

She kept trying to get the sound out of her ears and the thought out of her head even after the banshee stopped.

' It can't possibly mean that..'

Suddenly she bumped into a person. 

She thought it was the thief but she looked up and saw orange hair instead.

" Princess!?" She exclaimed but the Princess put a finger to her lips and pointed to a clearing in the forest with a hut.

Katie understood what she was trying to say and grinned. 

Surprisingly the Princess grinned back as Katie said,

" Let's go steal back from a thief."

When the rest of the knights came along, they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Keith tapped his foot impatiently in front of the path to the Forest of Tears. Other than that he was perfectly calm and his toe tapping was the only sign of worry he was gonna show.

On the other hand Theo could barely hold it in. He paced around mumbling to himself.

 Mark was leaning against the shade of a tree with worried brows.

The leader of the knights of Dorian went to Keith for instructions since the Princess was unavailable.

" Sir, any instructions?" He asked and Keith answered briefly without looking away from the forest.

" We wait until they come back but if we need to, we will go into the forest ourselves." 

" Yes Sir." The knight said saluting Keith and went back to his position with the rest of the knights.

Keith couldn't help but worry for the younger boy. It would be his fault if the small boy never came back.

' Why'd I take him? He's so much more vulnerable than the rest of us. It's all my fault..'  

He thought furiously to himself and tapped his toe at a rate where it was inhumanly

He was known as the cold and distant prince so he even surprised himself of how much he cared. He folded his arms together and walked a step closer to the forest as Theo came to stand by him.

' Please come back safely, Pidge Gunderson..'
