Now reading: Chapter 17 - The Chase from ROSES HAVE THORNS, a Fantasy novel by JayCeeW.

Kurt stood in a daze at what had just happened.

It hadn’t even been that long since he t Peter and already he’d lost a crucial lead in this whole ss.

He quickly snapped out of it and looked around for soone or sothing that could have caused this.

’There!’ He saw a figure run out of the park and ran after them.

’Dammit! And I was just starting to like Peter too. We could’ve been like Batman and Robin, solving this mystery together. With being Batman of course.’

"Stop running!" Kurt yelled while chasing, "You look really suspicious when you do! What, are you guilty of sothing?!"

Looking closer at the retreating figure he noticed sothing familiar about them,

’That build. He might be wearing a different outfit and a mask but there’s no mistaking it, he was with the bishop!’

While running, the man grabbed anything that ca in his way and threw it back at Kurt in order to obstruct him.

"That won’t work, Mr. I Blew Off Soone’s Head! I’m used to chasing losers like you! And yeah, the na’s on purpose!"

Slowly but surely Kurt was gaining up on him. That was when the man started screaming for help.

"Help ! There’s a lunatic chasing after !"

"You’re the freakin’ weirdo running around in broad daylight with a suspicious mask on! I wonder who’s the real lunatic!"

’Nearly there..... What the-"

WOOSH WOOSH

Wind enveloped the man as he used magic to jump on small shopping stalls to get to the rooftops.

"Are you kidding ! Seriously?!" He yelled furiously.

Not stopping for anything, Kurt continued chasing on foot while keeping an eye on him jumping from roof to roof.

"You’re going to eventually run out of space to go and when you do you’re dead, you hear !? DEAD!"

The chase continued for another 5 minutes when finally the road ahead was coming to an end. At the end of the road was a T-junction and a river right behind it.

’By the looks of it it’s either he jumps off into the river or he jumps down onto the road again in which chase I’ll easily catch him.’

"Ha! I’ve got your number now! Nowhere left to run!"

Right when Kurt was about to reach the bend,

THUD!

"Argh!" Kurt fell straight down as he got tackled from the left.

"I got him sis!" A teenage boy with light blue hair and violet eyes called while holding Kurt to the ground.

"Good job junior." Said the other teenager as she floated down from the sky. She had similar but more feminine features as the boy and they both wore the sa white uniform as Elie and Amy.

"Get off of , bubblegum head! He’s gonna get away!" Kurt struggled but couldn’t shake himself loose.

’What kind of strength is this?’

"Bu-bubblegum head?!"

"Hehe." The girl giggled.

*grrr* "The only one who’s not getting away is you." He held Kurt’s arm behind his back.

"I said get off !" He twisted his body and used his other arm to elbow the boy in the kidney.

"Oof!"

Once he felt the grip loosen, he knocked the boy square in the face with his forehead and shoved him away.

"Junior!" The girl ran up to check on him.

Kurt anwhile ran to the end of the road and checked left and right if he could still spot him. But alas he was too late.

"Dammit, he got away!" He slamd his fist against the street pole.

"Freeze!"

"Huh? Wait what the hell?!"

Ice crept up from his feet and stopped at his knees as he got frozen in place.

"That should keep you from running away." The girl walked up to Kurt and patted the ice with her staff.

"What is wrong with you kids?! You just let a murderer get away! Are you crazy?!" Clearly not happy about letting Peter’s killer get away, Kurt scolded the girl.

"Crazy? Us? Have you looked at yourself recently? If you did, you’d know who the real crazy one is."

"What are you talking about?"

The girl then raised her staff and summoned a reflective ice full body mirror.

"This is what I’m talking about."

Kurt looked in the mirror and to his surprise, he too could not recognise himself since he was covered in blood from head to toe.

’Oh God, I look like a psychopath.’

"Also," The girl shattered the mirror, "You raised your hand, or rather your head, against royalty. That alone is punishable by death."

"Royalty? Who the heck are you?"

"....Who are we?" The girl was montarily stunned. "You really want your head rolling down the chopping block don’t you? We are-"

"I couldn’t give two shits about who you are!" Kurt interrupted. "Just get out of this ice or face this ass whooping I’m about to give you when I break out of this."

"Y-you! Why you-"

"One." He started counting.

"Break out of that? As if. My ice proficiency is one of the highest in the nation. You’ll never be-"

"Two." Kurt’s legs shook as his body tensed up.

Crack

A crack ford on the ice.

"How are you doing that?!" She began to panic.

"Last warning Ms. Ice Lady. Break this ice."

"Junior, wake up! Now!" She scread.

"Three-"

"Sorry I’m late!" A man in a green cloak with silver steel plating ca running. "We have received complaints of a mad man covered in blood running around and yelling through the street."

’Is that?’ Kurt recognised him.

"Finally you prefects arrive. This is not supposed to be our job." The girl cald down.

"Your Highness Princess Kiana!" The man bowed. "My deepest apologies for causing you trouble. I’ll take it from here."

’She’s a princess? That explains the attitude. I’m guessing that so-called Junior is.... her twin brother, judging by the similarities they’ve got going.’

"Good. Then I’m leaving. I need to take my brother to see a doctor." She shot one last glare at Kurt and said, "I’ll rember you."

Shen levitated her unconscious brother up in the air and flew away.

"Wait Your Highness! The ice—aaannnd she’s gone. Great."

"Hey Dominik." Kurt called.

"What? How do you know my na?"

"It’s Kurt. We t the other day. You recomnded to Sophie’s Diner."

"Hmmm...." He posed with his hand on his chin.

"Oh yeah! I rember now. That’s right, Kurt! The Jesus fan."

"That’s how you rember ?"

"No. I also rember that you had an eyepatch anf that you wanted to go on a date with despite us not knowing each other for very long."

Crack

"Excuse ?!" The ice cracked even more after he heard that.

"Oh co on Kurt you know I’m only joking."

"For so reason when the joke cos out of your mouth I get the urge to punch you in the face."

"Ok but in all seriousness how’d you end up looking like... that?"

"It’s complicated. And I’d rather not talk about it, frozen stuck, in the middle of the street. So help out of this"

"Looks to like you’re gonna break it pretty soon though." Dominik looked at the nearly shattered ice,

"I’d rather not waste my energy."

"I’ll take you out but I’m gonna need you to co with after this."

"Where to?"

"The prefect station. You are still technically under arrest."

"Oh co on, what? Dominik I was chasing after a murderer."

"Looking like that?"

"He’s the one who did this! He blew up an old man who was next to and I chased after him. Sorry I didn’t have ti to wash the blood off."

"Speaking of blood. Hey you kid!" He called over a boy who was walking by. "Wanna make a quick coin."

"Do I?!" He jumped up and down, getting excited.

"Aweso. Now let’s see.... Oh! You see that bucket across the street?" He pointed, "Fill it up with water by the river and bring it over here."

"Ok!" He quickly bolted.

"Why don’t you get it yourself?" Kurt asked.

"If I do, then who’s gonna watch you? That’s just negligence."

"How noble of you."

The boy returned and handed Dominik the bucket.

"Thanks kid." He handed him 1 silver.

"Yaay! I’m rich! Mwahahaha!" The boy did a villain-like laugh as he skipped away.

"You better not do what I think you’re going to..."

"Sorry Kurt. But it must be done."

"At least give ti to-"

SPLASH

"W-wait *cough* you didn’t give ti to-"

SPLASH

"There’s that handso face I know." Dominik looked at him as if satisfied with his work.

"You’re a dick, you know that." Kurt begrudgingly said to him as the water washed away the blood.

"But I’m your dick.... Wait, that ca out wrong—Wait!"

"Jeez dude I didn’t want to say this before but if you’re gay just say so, I won’t judge. I will, however, tell you that I’m not interested. I don’t swing that way."

"I’m not gay!"

"Why are you getting so defensive about it? You’re only making it worse."

"I’m straight, you hear! Straight! I love won and boobs and their fat asses! And my girlfriend ticks all the boxes!"

"Not so loud dude!"

Dominik quickly covered his mouth when he realised what he just said.

Looking around he saw all the won around stare at him in disgust.

"Waaaahhh..." He fell on his knees and started fake crying.

"Hey at least get out of here before you go on a spiral!"
