บท 10: Kidnapped!

The three heroes looked at Zachary's body, which was lying before them silently. They were all breathing heavily, and they didn't know what to do. Dean had just attacked Zachary out of nowhere, and they were all shocked and scared.

As they were looking at Zachary's body silently, Jasem noticed something strange behind Zachary. He squinted his eyes and looked closer.

"B-Blood is coming out of his head!" Jasem said, pointing at Zachary's head. He saw blood seeping out of the back of his skull, and he knew that something was wrong.

Dean looked at Zachary's head and saw what Jasem was talking about. He started to panic even more when he saw the blood. He didn't know what had happened, but he knew that it wasn't good.

"I didn't mean to!" Dean said as he fell to the ground, shaking in fear. He had just killed someone, and he didn't know what to do. Adam started to get closer to Zachary's body to see if he was still alive.

"Stop! What are you doing?!" Jasem shouted, panic rising in his voice. Adam was getting closer to Zachary's body, and Jasem knew that it was a bad idea.

"Shh!" Adam said, placing his finger to his lips as he looked back at Jasem. He then turned back to Zachary and placed his hand on his neck to check his pulse. He smiled when he found that he was still alive.

Adam looked back at Dean and Jasem, giving them a thumbs up with a distorted smile on his face. His nervousness was evident, and Jasem flinched when he saw him.

"He's dead?!" Jasem's voice was filled with shock and fear. Dean's head started to feel lighter, and he blacked out, falling to the ground.

Adam clicked his tongue in annoyance as he saw Dean pass out. He threw a small rock at Jasem, who was still standing there, frozen in shock.

"Tsk..., no you idiot, he's alive. Go check on Dean and see if he's okay." Adam said, his voice laced with impatience.

Adam quickly took off Zachary's shirt and started to tie him up with it. He knew that they needed to restrain him from running and telling the guards about them. Once he was finished, he sat down beside Zachary and looked at Jasem, who was trying to wake up Dean, who was still passed out.

Jasem slapped Dean's face a few times, but he was met with no response. Dean was still unconscious, and Jasem was starting to panic.

Adam stood up and said, "Come and guard this man, and let me try." Jasem, who was still panicking, went to stay close to Zachary. Adam then knelt down next to Dean and started to try to wake him up.

Adam grabbed a bottle of water from his Storage and started to sprinkle some on Dean's face. He was hoping that the cold water would shock Dean awake.

But nothing happened no matter what he tried. Adam came up with an idea he thought it might work, he placed his hand on Dean's thigh, then he spoke with a soft voice after sprinkling some water on his face again.

"Dean-kun, wake up my brave Hero, the demon army are trying to kill me." Adam said with a soft voice while moving his hand up his tight. Doing that made Dean shiver before he opened his eyes to see this beautiful girl that needed his help.

"Where?!" Dean said, before he looked to see Adam over him, his hand on his tight what made him push him away immediately.

"Get away from me you weirdo!" Dean crawled away from him after and looked at Adam with shocked eyes as Adam stood up and blew a kiss at him as he was acting cute as he called for Dean's name. "Dean-kun"

"Noooo!"

Dean looked away from him and closed his eyes immediately. He couldn't withstand what was happening in front of him.

"Stop playing around, you two! We need to figure out what to do with this man." Jasem snapped at Adam and Dean, who were still playing around. Adam stopped playing and went to Jasem immediately, while Dean, who had remembered what he had done earlier, started heading toward them slowly, shaking as he looked at Zachary.

"So, what do you think we do with him, smarty?" Jasem asked Adam, who was standing before him. Adam thought for a few moments, considering their options.

"Can you carry him?" Adam asked. Jasem was confused by the request, but he didn't say anything. He stood up and picked up Zachary, carrying him for a few moments before laying him back down.

"Of course I can," Jasem said, his voice strong and confident.

"Good. Let's bring him with us then." Adam said, his voice firm. The other two looked at him in confusion, wondering why they would bring someone from the enemy side with them while trying to run away.

"What? Are you insane? What if he woke up and beat the hell out of us?!" Dean said, standing behind Adam. Jasem nodded in agreement, sharing Dean's concern. Adam shook his head in response.

"You just knocked him out with one skill that is rated A+. I'm pretty sure we can take him down if he tried anything to us," Adam said.

"Let's leave him here," Jasem said, challenging Adam.

"Would you rather take him with us to deal with him later, or leave him here to be found by the guards when he wakes up and tell them what we did? If you have any other solution, please tell me. Because all I can think of is either we take him with us or kill him right here before he wakes up."

Dean and Jasem flinched immediately when they heard that. They came closer to Adam at the same time.

"Hey, are you crazy?!" Dean said.

"What do you mean, killing him?" Jasem asked.

The two didn't agree with what Adam was saying but Adam didn't back down and asked them again

"Then what should we do with him?"

Dean and Jasem thought for a few minutes, but they could not come up with anything else. They clicked their tongues in frustration, and Dean turned around and started walking again. Jasem grabbed Zachary and placed him on his back, and the three of them started running away.

*****

Hours had passed, and the sun was rising again. The sunlight streamed into Hammam's room, waking him up from his slumber.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Hammam quickly stood up, made his bed, and then went to the bathroom to clean himself up.

After washing his face, Hammam took a quick bath and put on the clean outfit that the maids had brought him the previous night. He placed the dirty clothes in the laundry basket before opening the door and stepping outside.

As he walked through the palace hallways, Hammam fixed his hair. He stopped in front of Jasem's door and knocked, but there was no answer. He knew that Jasem was an early bird, so he assumed that he was already in the bathroom.

He then went to Adam's room and knocked on the door. He waited a few moments, but there was no answer. He opened the door and went inside, knowing that Adam was probably already up and about.

He looked at the bed and saw that it was messy. He quickly made it before knocking on the bathroom door to check on Adam.

"Mr. Adam, please get ready soon. Breakfast will be ready in 10 minutes." Hammam knocked on the bathroom door and waited a few moments, but he didn't hear anything. He opened the door and looked inside, but the bathroom was empty.

"Hmmm," Hammam said, confused. He remembered that Adam loved the library, so he thought that Adam was there. He closed the door after he left the room."

He then went to Dean's room and knocked on the door. When there was no answer, he opened the door immediately and stayed by the door, not daring to go inside. He remembered what had happened the day before, and he was not going to risk getting hurt again. He saw that Dean's bed was empty.

"Our young heroes are energetic today," Hammam said to himself as he closed the door. He couldn't hear anything from the bathroom, so he started heading downstairs to see if they were already in the dining room.

When he got downstairs, he saw one of the maids carrying a dish to the dining room. He stopped her and asked, "Yolanda, are the heroes in the dining room?"

The maid shook her head in response. "I haven't seen them anywhere today," she said. "There's still a lot of work to do," she added as she started walking away.

"Where did they go?" Hammam wondered, starting to get suspicious about the heroes' whereabouts. He quickened his pace as he headed to the library to look for them, but they were not there.

He looked around the dining room, hoping that he would see Jasem and Dean there. But they were nowhere to be found.

Hammam was starting to get worried. He ran around the mansion, looking everywhere for the heroes, but he couldn't find them anywhere.

Hammam was breathing heavily after all the running he had done. He had searched the entire mansion, but he could not find them. His face turned pale as he realized that something was very wrong.

"Guards!" Hammam shouted, his voice echoing through the mansion's back garden. A few guards who were close by rushed over to him, curious about what he wanted."

"The heroes have been kidnapped!" Hammam shouted, his voice filled with urgency. The guards flinched immediately, their eyes widening in shock. They started running around, shouting for the other guards to assemble. They knew that this was a matter of life and death.

The guards mounted their horses as soon as they heard the news. They split into two groups: one group headed out to search for the heroes, while the other group rode to the Royal Palace to deliver the news to the king.
