The House Of Westmore

Frankie bit his lip softly, but wasn't sure what to say to him.

Dante felt his head drop against the man's shoulder as he was on the edge of being out of it.

"You shouldn't have to work for a man like him." Jacen said.

"Just rest." Jasper said quietly.

"I have no other home..." Frankie answered.

Dante could only murmur before passing out again.

"...why not?" Jacen asked with a frown.

Jasper chuckled quietly afterwards, before taking him to where Mason had told him to.

"I was found without family as a child..." Frankie answered.

Dante murmured softly, almost as if in his drugged sleep he felt something was wrong.

Alex tugged on Artemis's sleeve. "Where is Dante?"

"I'm sorry..."

Jasper laid him down on a bed before sitting nearby.

Artemis quickly looked around. "I- He was right here!" He said worriedly.

"Thank you." Frankie said softly.

Dante shivered a little, the room was chilly.

"He isn't now..." Alex replied before turning in a circle to look.

Jacen gave a small smile, before remembering Raven was there.

Jasper sighed and threw a blanket over him.

"Where'd he go?"

Frankie waited nervously for Raven to say something.

Dante's shivering stopped as he curled into the blanket.

"I don't know..." Alex said worriedly before calling out softly for him.

Jacen shifted nervously, straightening the crown on his head.

The assassin rolled his eyes and leaned back against the wall, bored.

"Get some guards to help look. I need to go rescue my brother." Artemis sighed before staring to make his way through the crowd.

Alex nodded and hurried to get the guards to help him look for Dante.

Dante slowly woke up and looked around the room.

Raven huffed and finally just turned to leave.

Jasper hadn't moved from his spot and was absent-mindedly staring at the roof.

"Jacen! Come here." Artemis hissed, reaching out to gently pull his brother away from Raven.

Dante slowly sat up, the drug was leaving his system and he was confused as to where he was.

Frankie sighed with relief as Raven left.

"Don't bother trying to leave." Jasper said, not looking at him.

"Are you alright?" Artemis asked them both.

"Where am I..? Dante asked softly, looking a little scared, "And who are you?"

Frankie nodded slowly, "Yes sir..."
Alex hurried over to his husband, "Arty they can't find him..."

"Jasper." The assassin said, finally looking at him. "And you don't need to know where you are."

Artemis nodded before turning to Alex. "What?! But he has to be..."

Dante looked at the door wondering if he could make it to the door before Jasper got up.

"The guards can't find him at all and nobody has seen him!" Alex looked panicked.

"Don't bother." Jasper sighed. "This'll be easier if you just stay here."

"It was only a few minutes though!" Artemis replied, pacing. "He can't have gone that far, could he?"

"Please... Take me back home?" Dante asked softly, "My family will be so worried and they'll reward you if you bring me back... You can even just say you found me, just..." Dante plead softly, hoping the man would just take him home.

"He could of gone missing as soon as they fight between Jacen and Raven started..." Leo answered from behind his brother.

"I-" Jasper almost changed his mind about the whole thing at Dante's words, then shook his head. "I can't."

Artemis sighed, leading Jacen over to sit down. "So he could be anywhere around the castle..."

Dante bit his lip hard, "What... What are you going to do?"

Leo sighed, "There is a chance he isn't in the castle...."

"That's not up to me." Jasper shrugged. "I just do as I'm told."

"Well then we need to let all our kingdom's guards know..." Artemis sighed, hoping they could keep it quiet from the public.

"I-Its up to someone else?" Dante asked softly.

Alex nodded as he looked worried, "A-Arty..."
"I want to start looking..." Leo said softly.

"Obviously it is if it's not my choice." Jasper replied with a roll of his eyes.

Artemis nodded, sitting Jacen down on a chair before hugging Alex. "Take other guards you trust." He told Leo.

Dante sighed, "Do you at least know who ordered it... Or how long I'll be here?"

Alex hugged back tightly.
Leo nodded, "I will, hopefully we'll find him soon."
