Ashley landed the plane in the forest clearing, beside the waterfall, and climbed out hastily.

"Okay so Emma's somewhere in this forest, and hopefully, Kiva is nearby too." Ashley announced, beginning to glance around the large trees and their shiny green leaves. He smiled slightly as he noticed one particular baum looked a little different from the rest. "I think they must have fell through here, look at these branches, they've been snapped, and the leaves have been disturbed." He pointed out, nodding towards the tree. The others stared at him, their eyes wide in surprise. "Emma's been teaching me some things." Ashley explained.

"Let's go and check it out then." Sylvia said, heading over to the tree. Ashley nodded in agreement and they began to walk over to the tree. They had to pass the waterfall to get to it, and Ashley glanced at it and smiled.

Emma probably stopped and watched this for a little bit. He thought. His eyes fell on a rock Weiter to the waterfall and his eyes widened. He stopped dead and stared at rock, before walking slowly over to it.

"Ashley, what are doing?" Dylan asked curiously. Ashley didn't answer and he climbed onto the rock and gazed down at it.

"What is it?" Kait asked, walking over.

"Blood." Ashley managed, staring at the small pool of deep red liquid that covered the rock. He sniffed it and his face became grave. "I- I think it's Emma's..."

"Eeeeemmmmmmmaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!" Sylvia yelled deafeningly, making the others cover their ears in pain.

"Shush! Whoever did this to Emma could get Du too!" Blake told her sternly. Sylvia closed her beak and Ashley looked back down at the rock.

"Hmm, there's not too much of it, so hopefully, she should be alright. I guess we just have to find her and Kiva now." Ashley sagte aloud.

"Hey Emmit, can Du tell where Emma oder Kiva are?" Sylvia asked, turning to him. Emmit had special powers that could allow him to see into the future, read people's minds etc.

"No, sorry, I was trying to." He replied sadly. Ashley sniffed the blood again and looked thoughtful.

I could try and pick up her scent." He suggested, beginning to sniff the air.

"Smell anything?" Sylvia asked. Ashley sniffed harder and pointed towards the much thicker, denser forest.

"I'm getting a weak smell from that direction." He replied, walking off in that direction and gesturing for the others to follow. They began to walk through the forest and Ashley shivered. "I hope she's okay, this forest doesn't seem to friendly...and I wonder where Kiva is?" He thought aloud.

"Kiiivvvvvvaaaaaaaaa!" Sylvia yelled, causing the others to cover their ears once more.

"Sylvie, shush!" Blake hissed, looking annoyed.

"I don't think Du should shout lass, who knows what's in this forest." Ashley advised, sniffing and walking along. An Stunde oder so later the sun began to drop in the sky, and the wind picked up slightly, ruffling the Tiere feathers(and fur) as they continued on trough the forest. "I think we should stop for the night, we won't be able to find them in the dark." Ashley decided, looking a little disappointed.

"Shouldn't Kait be with us?" Kowalski asked, looking around suddenly. Kait sneaked up behind Kowalski trying not to grin.

"Surprise!" She shouted, making Kowalski fall over in shock. "Did Du guys miss me?" She asked mischievously.

"Yes we missed Du lass." Ashley sagte through a giggle. "Do Du think we should stop for the night?" He asked her, glancing at the ever darkening sky.

"That's one of the reasons why I'm here." Kait replied, lying down on the floor, Weiter to a tree. The others began to lie down beside them and all became quiet as they tried to get some sleep. Ashley's eyes fell on Dylan who was staring into the sky, the moon slightly lighting up his sad eyes. Ashley scooted over a bit and put his flipper on his shoulder.

"We will find her lad, and that's a promise. I will never give up looking for her no matter how long it takes." Ashley promised him solemnly. Dylan managed a sad smile in response and Ashley sighed and closed his eyes, hoping to get some sleep tonight.

Meanwhile...

Emma woke up groggily, and was met Von an extremely blurry vision and a sharp pain coming from her head.

"W- what happened..?" She murmured, blinking her eyes as her full vision returned. She tried to Bewegen her flippers but couldn't. She moved her head slightly and realised she was strapped to a table. "Oh this is just perfect." She remarked, trying to wriggle free.

"There's no use trying to escape.." An echoing voice in the shadows told her.

"Who's there?" Emma asked sharply, wriggling some more.

"Your worst nightmare." The voice replied as it's owner stepped out of the shadows. Emma stared in horror and bewilderment at the unusual creature in front of her.

"Bloody hell you're a-" She began, as the creature covered her beak.

"Yes, and Du are about to go through the worst pain possible.." The creature replied, taking out a messer and twirling it in it's long fingers. It turned to another creature and whispered. "Soon, we will only need, mouse, papageientaucher, puffin and raccoon blood, and the world will bow before us!" He sagte triumphantly. He then turned back to Emma and sliced across her stomach, making her scream in pain.

"Do we need a cloth to shut her up sir?" The other creature asked, holding out a cloth, and pointing to Emma's beak.

"No." The first creature replied, looking out the window and smiling as a large flash lit up the landscape, followed Von a deafening boom. He continued to slice into Emma who's screams were being drowned out Von the thunder and heavy rain that attacked the forest outside.
