Ok, this will be a short chapter..I think.. Thanks for the comments!

Recap:
His plan never would’ve worked if I didn’t trust him enough to take the drugged potion, so he started kissing up to me and acting like he had actually changed but he hadn’t. Hasha hadn’t changed and he had never intended to, he was as evil as ever and now, I had absolutely nothing left….NOTHING

When I got back to El Nath, I was covered in blood, scratches and bruises. I had nothing to defend myself with or any armor either so the walk back had been a challenge but I was finally home. As I reached the front door, I saw Paige and Emily partying away. “What are you two doing?!?!” I yelled as I burst in.

“Woah! What happened to you Marie?” asked Paige while eyeing me up and down. Emily put down her bottle of beer I presume and cleared away all the evidence of their crazy partying at MY house.

“Hasha happened.” I replied with a glare.

“Oh..” they said. They saw my angry face and knew that I was in no mood to answer their questions.

Emily and Paige gave me some clothes to wear and I took out my Lion’s Fang from it’s cabinet. I never thought I would use it again but desperate times call for desperate measures. After I had calmed down, I finally told Emily and Paige about how Hasha had set us all up. I told them about him gaining our trust, then drugging my potion and finally, stealing my things. As strong as I was, I needed my sparta and armor. Just thinking about what happenned made me want to cry. I had trusted him as a friend and in return, this is what I get.

“I’ll never trust again…” I whispered to myself.

Later that night, Emily and Paige still couldn’t console me because my journey to becoming a crusader had been delayed or possibly, stopped. I couldn’t train with a Lion’s Fang and horrible armor! I couldn’t do enough damage to anything and my clothes were thin and barely provided any warmth, much less protection..

“Marie, I’ll get your stuff back if it’s the last thing I do.” said Emily defiantly.

” Same here.” Paige added in.

“You guys I appreciate it, but he’s much stronger then you two and his friends are too. I don’t want you guys to die..I’ll manage somehow..even though my Sparta was a gift to me from my father before he passed away while battling against Zakum..” I gently replied with a great big sigh.

“No! I’m not going to let Hasha get away with this! Paige and I thought he was our friend too and he betrayed us. He’ll pay for what he’s done!” Emily said.

With that said, Emily and Paige schemed about how to get my stuff back from Hasha if he hadn’t already sold it all. After many hours, we finally had a plan developed. I knew there was a high possibility we would fail, but since Emily and Paige would so willingly take that risk, I decided to go with them. It was decided that Emily would travel to Hasha’s house in Ludibrium and slip a drug into his drink to make sure he would be fast asleep. At night, Paige and I would then meet up with Emily there and search his house for my belongings. If the plan succeeded, we would be out of Ludibrium before sunrise and Hasha would be completely clueless.

A/N: Sry this chapter sucks, I know…but I’m kinda busy right now so..I’ll write more in chapter 6.
