Chapter 14

Anakin and his men finally reached the castle. They entered the main part of the castle and Kyle scanned the inside, to see if everyone was still in the places they were at, when the place was scanned from the outside. He pointed to Anakin, as to show him the way they need to go. It was when they were in the hallway and heading down to where the dungeons are located, that all of a sudden, there was beeping sound coming from Anakin’s wrist.

Anakin looked down at his wrist and saw that it was his Com-link. He quickly hit the button to silence it, but instead of silencing it, he just hit the disconnect button.

“ What was that?” Kyle looked at Anakin, and then he started looking around, just to make sure that the beeping sound did not capture any attention from the guards that had just passed them, just a couple of minutes ago.

“ That was my Com-link. The person who would try to get me killed is Obi-Wan. Ok. Let’s move on.” Anakin looked around the corner and saw that the room was empty. He motioned for everyone to head out and down the hallway.

When they followed the hallway as far they could go, it came right up to a door that was at the end. Using the Force, Anakin opened the door and went through the door first, and the rest of the men followed him. They followed the stairs down to where the dungeons are located. They finally came to the door of the dungeons, only to find it locked. Anakin used the Force again and unlocked and opened the door.

The men that were closer to Anakin stood there in total awe, when they saw him unlock the door, by using the powers that he has. It was at that moment, they realized that they almost forgot the real reason why they were there. It was Anakin, who walked through the wooden door and looked around, only to see that the huge room was empty of any guards. Anakin walked over to the first wooden door of a cell. He looked in, through the small window and saw that it was empty. He moved to the next two cells and also found them empty. It was in the very last cell that he found Lady Regina, laying on a cot.

“ What the? . . . Who is there?” Lady Regina sat up on her cot and looked around in the very dimly lit room.

“ It is me, Milady. Anakin Skywalker. We are here to take you home.” Anakin turned off his cloaking device and appeared to Lady Regina.

“ Anakin, it is so great to see you. How are you going to get me out of here?” Lady Regina looked at the tall young man, standing in front of her.

“ We have a cloak for you too. Please, Milady. We must hurry, before someone comes down here and finds out what is going on here.” Anakin took the cloak and device from Robie and handed it over to Lady Regina.

“ Ok. Let’s go now. Oh, wait a minute. Let me put my hair up really quickly.” Lady Regina went over to the small nightstand, grabbed the comb and put her hair up, before putting the hood over her head and pushing the button on her cloaking device, as she went invisible.

They all headed out of the cell and walked right out of the dungeons. They were walking back up the stairs and they were almost at the main entrance door, when Anakin’s Com-link went off again.

“ Damn.” Anakin hit the button again to disconnect the call from Obi-Wan.

“ What was that?” Lady Regina looked up at Anakin, who was in front of her.

“ That was Obi-Wan. We need to hurry and get out of here now, before someone comes after us.” Anakin motioned for Lady Regina to keep quiet, just before opening the door of the main grand hall.

Ten minutes later, the small group was out of the castle and they were just about to enter the woods, when the Com-link went off again.

“ Damn it! Obi-Wan, this better be good, because I really do not have the time to talk to you, at the moment.” Anakin finally answered his Com-link.

“ Nice greeting, Anakin. I have news for you and you can give it to Sir Proteus, because it has to do with his sister.” Obi-Wan somewhat laughed, when he heard the tension in Anakin’s voice.

“ Well, at the moment, I am trying to get Lady Regina safely to the ship.So, what about Lady Penelope?” Anakin felt something in the Force and the feeling was that they were being followed. Then, it dawned on him that they were being tracked.

“ Ok, but hear me out really quickly. Lady Penelope told me that she was not kidnapped by Lord Nickolas. She ran away from her brother. Her and Lord Nickolas are in love and they plan to get married this weekend.” Obi-Wan walked into his hut and sat down on his bed.

“ Ok. Um, I need to go . . . Robie, get Lady Regina to the ship now . . . Um, wait a minute . . . Lady Regina, give me the comb that you have in your hair, because there is a bug in it. Thanks. Now, go and get to the ship . . . Go now!” Anakin told Lady Regina and Robie right before he realized that his Com-link was still on.

Before Obi-Wan could say anything else to Anakin, the connection on the Com-link went dead. After Lady Regina left the small group, they all uncloaked themselves and waited for Sir Proteus and his men to catch up with them. Now, they knew that there was going to be a small battle. Anakin did remember that Lord Phyllyp did want Sir Proteus, as a prisoner.
