Hellbound With You (WN)

Kai let out a sigh of relief once Alex left.

”Are you okay? ” he asked the still mute Kelly who was hiding behind him.

”Y-yeah, ” she replied. Kai turned around to see that she had started sweating, despite the cold wind. He knew that Alex scared the hell out of her. 

”Don ’t worry. We ’ll find her. Stay here and wait – ”

”No, I ’m coming with you. ” Kelly clung onto the man ’s arm tightly as she looked at him with an expression that said she wouldn ’t let go. ”I want to go and look for Abi, too. Please. ”

Kai saw a mixture of worry and determination on Miss Hooligan ’s face, so in the end, Kai could only give in.

They finally left the study and joined the search outside the ballroom, along with the many guards who were also searching for Abi inside the palace. No one inside the ballroom knew what was going on outside apart from the people that were secretly searching for Abi inside the ballroom. The royal family, who also knew nothing at this time, kept the guests entertained with dinner and dancing and speeches and because Kelly and Abi didn ’t know anyone else at the party, they weren ’t missed by any of the guests.

The palace was huge but the guards seemed to be able to go through the whole place in a matter of hours to search for Abi. As time passed, Kelly didn ’t hear any good news and her worry increased. No matter where they looked, they just couldn ’t seem to find her anywhere. 

After some time, the guards looked through the security footage. They found no footage of Kelly nor Abi at the verandah where they were standing so they couldn ’t tell if Abi had walked off by herself or if someone had taken her. They did find that there were three cars that left the palace after the girl ’s disappearance.
