Back In My Arms

Meanwhile, back in the warehouse, Lily was thinking on how she could save herself. *I seriously need to get out from here and ask for help.* thought Lily while sitting on the chair with both of her hands tied to the back. While sitting there, she had thought of an idea. "Umm hello, mister?" called Lily towards the man who was standing guarding the door.

"What do you want?" asked the man in annoyed.

"ummm I need to go to the toilet please. The nature is calling." Answered Lily.

"Just do it there." Said the man as he continue watching the video in his phone.

"What?!" asked Lily in disbelief. "For god sake, I'm a girl and I can't pee like how you guys did. Don't you guys have any brain?" asked Lily as she raised her eyebrows. "Take me to the toilet please." Pleaded Lily with her big doe eyes. "I promise I won't ask for the second time." Said Lily trying to convince him to bring her to the toilet so that she could run away.

"Just take her there." Said one of the man who seems to be their leader. The man nodded as he untied Lily's leg from the chair. "walk." Said the man as he pushed Lily to the front and he walked behind her. Then, both of them are finally out from the warehouse. All Lily could see, it was dark and they are in a woods. For sure no one was there except them. Even if she screamed for help, no one would hear her. All she could think about is that she should run quietly away from them.

After a few minutes of walking, finally they've reached the toilet. It was located not too far from the warehouse. It looks old and dirty.

"Here?" asked Lily

"Then what are you waiting for? Just go in." said the man.

"How am I supposed to go if you tied my hands?" said Lily as she raised her eyebrows and held out her hand asking the man to untie her hands. That man rolled his eyes in annoyed and untied her hands. Finally, her hands are free.

*better.* thought Lily.

"Give me five minutes and I'll be done." Said Lily as she looked around looking for an area that she could run away. Once she found, she entered the bathroom. While she was in the bathroom, she was thinking on how she could run away without the man noticing her. After giving some thoughts for a while, she got an idea.

"Excuse me, mister?" called Lily from inside.

"What do you want this time?!" asked the man feeling man as Lily requested a lot of things that annoyed him.

"You guys do not provide any tissues here so how am I supposed to clean myself?" asked Lily in a duh manner. "I need a roll of toilet paper." Added Lily.

"Are you going to trick me that you're gonna run away?" asked the man from outside knowing her tactics. Shivers ran down her spine and she gulped in busted. The man know her plans. *damn it. He knows* thought Lily.

"N-no I wasn't. How am I supposed to run without cleaning myself? It's dirty. Come on… bring me some toilet paper." Said Lily. Convincing him that she won't run away. With that, the man bought her tricks and went to find some tissue for her.

Once the man gone, Lily look outside from the toilet and saw no one was in the area. With that, she quietly closed the toilet door. With a nervous feeling scared if someone sees her running away from them, she ran into the woods as fast as she can. It was dark, it was scary but all that she could think that time she needs to save herself and back in Ren's embrace.

A few minutes after Lily went into the woods, the man came back with a roll of toilet paper and was surprised to see that Lily has ran away. "Shit. I knew it she tricked me!" cussed the man and throw the toilet paper as he ran back to the warehouse to tell the others.

Meanwhile, Ren and the Royal police have finally reached the warehouse area. Once they've reached, the turned on the sirens.

"Everyone in the house, stop moving and do not go anywhere. You are under arrest!" announced the leader of the Royal Police. "I repeat, do not move." Said the leader again while giving a sign to one of the team and Lucas to get inside the house while the other team and Ren to go to the warehouse.

"Your Highness, let's go." Said one of the man. Ren took out his gun and nodded. "Yeah, let's go." Said Ren. Once they've reached the warehouse, one of the Royal Police kicked the door open and found out most of the man there were playing cards and smoking.

"ROYAL POLICE! DON'T MOVE AND PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPONS AND PUT UP YOUR HANDS!" shouted the police man. As for Ren, his eyes are searching for Lily but she's nowhere to be found. "She's not here." Said Ren loud enough for the police man who was standing next to him could hear.

"Check every places, and look for Miss Lily Valentina." Ordered their leader. "YES SIR!" shouted his team and went to look for Lily. While the police man capturing those man in the warehouse, Ren got a call from Lucas.

"Come here, we got Sir Luis." Said Lucas.

"Find Lily and report to me if you found her. Lucas told me they got Sir Luis and I need to see him." said Ren and the police man nodded.

"Understood Your Highness." Said the police man. With that, Ren walked away from the warehouse and went to meet Lucas and the other team. Once he reached there, without giving any warning, Ren straight away went towards him and grabbed his collar.

"TELL ME WHERE IS LILY?!" shouted Ren in anger.

Lucas and the police man who was there trying to pry off Ren from Sir Luis.

"Calm down Ren. Calm down." Said Lucas as he took Ren away from Sir Luis. Suddenly, one of the Royal Police came inside while panting.

"Your Highness, we might know where she is." Said the Royal Police.

"Take me there." Said Ren. "I order you to cuff him and don't let him get away." added Ren as he walked away following the Royal Police.

A few minutes later, they've reached the toilet that Lily went just now. "Your Highness, we have found a few traces that she might be here before and I assumed that she had ran away by herself into the woods there." Explained the Royal Police.

"Judging from shoes traces that we found here," said the royal police as he pointed his flashlight towards the ground and Ren saw a shoes steps. "She might have run away by herself into the dark woods there. It could be dangerous…" added the Royal Police.

Without thinking anything, Ren grabbed the flashlight from the Royal Police.

"Let me go and find her." Said Ren as he ran lightly while flashing his flashlight around the woods. "Three of you, follow His Highness and make sure both him and Miss Lily are fine." Ordered the Royal Police towards his subordinates. "YES SIR!" said the three of them and followed Ren from behind.

"Lily! Where are you?! It's me, Ren!" shouted Ren as he looked around the woods flashing his torchlight. "Miss Lily!" shouted one of the Royal police as he too, looking around the area. "She couldn't be gone too far…" muttered Ren alone in worried. While he was walking on the other side of the woods alone, he heard one of the Royal Police was shouting calling for him.

"YOURE HIGHNESS! WE HAVE FOUND MISS LILY!" shouted the Royal Police.

As soon as Ren heard him, he ran towards them and saw Lily sitting leaning against the tree with scratches on her face, arms and legs. But Ren was so glad that he had finally found her. Without any thinking, he straight away towards her and Lily threw herself in his embrace.

"Lily I'm so glad that you're safe. I'm so glad." Said Ren as he caressed her hair gently with his trembling hands. "I'm so sorry I was late. I'm really sorry." Said Ren and without he realized, tears dropped from his eyes as he was so scared. Scared of losing her.

"Ren, it's not your fault." Said Lily as she too, tears were pouring down her face. She was so scared of being alone just now and to know that he's finally here standing in front of her, she was so glad. "Thank you." Said Lily as she smiles with tears running down her face.

Ren who broke their hug and wipe her tears away. He studied her face looking at with full of love and leaned towards her face and gave her a peck on her lips and hugged her again. "I love you so much and thank you for being safe…" whispered Ren as he hugged her.

A few minutes later, they're finally out from the woods. Ren has ordered the Royal Police to bring Sir Luis out from there and let the police handle his case. He even informed Augustin to be with the Royal Police later and to let the police know information regarding Sir Luis that they have found. As for Lucas, as soon as Lily went out from the woods, he took her for first aid.

He tend towards her scratches, checked her heartbeat to know if it's stable or not and asked her a few times whether she's okay mentally and physically. "I'm fine Lucas. I'm really fine… it's just that had a shortness of breath just now because I was panicked being alone with a pitch black area…. the rest, I'm fine." Explained Lily.

Lucas nodded in understand. "I'm glad that you're fine… He was so worried about you that I had to calm him down." Said Lucas making Lily chuckled. While the two of them were talking, Ren came towards them.

"What are you laughing about, huh?" asked Ren as he took a sit next to Lily. "Nothing, Lucas was talking about you." Answered Lily. "She's fine now and Lily, take a rest, alright?" said Lucas as pack his things and Lily. "Thanks Lucas." Said Lily and he nodded leaving both of them.

Once they're done, all of them leaving the woods and back in the palace. Both Lily and Ren was so glad that they're back in each other's arms.
