-Time skip to ball-

Ink woke up to the sound of his door opening softly. He looked to see his mom walking in with a bright smile on his face. Ink could see a glimmer of worry in Blue's eyes. Blue set Ink's clothes on the foot of his bed, looking at a stray drawing.

"Your drawing is getting better!" Blue said walking over to his son.

"Thanks mom.." Ink yawned.

"Dad is assigning the head guard to protect you." Blue said kissing Ink's forehead. Ink smiled at Blue reassuringly. He watched Blue leave and close the door before looking around his room before he changed. Even as he was changing he felt someone watching him. But that would be ridicules, he locked his window last night and there were guards all around the palace....were there guards? Ink paused while putting on his shirt, he lowered his arms, putting the shirt down. He looked out his window again, with a worried look on his face.

Ink shook his head laughing at himself. He was just being childish. Ink quickly put the shirt on then his scarf. He walked out of his room happily smelling the aroma of food fill the hallways.

Ink had talked to almost everybody and almost forgot about the threat hiding somewhere in the castle. He looked at the doorway of the ballroom seeing something moving out in the hallway. He walked out of the ballroom to find a piece of paper flying around with the small gusts of wind. Ink picked it up reading the little note

Notice anyone missing from the party?~~

Ink looked around for anyone missing from the party but saw no one missing from the guest list. He looked around and saw no one in the room with him either.

"I'm going to my room. I'm getting overwhelmed, need a little break."  Ink said looking at the guard. He nodded and watched Ink enter his room safely. Ink sat down on his bed resting his head in his hands sighing.

"Why aren't you enjoying your party?" He heard a voice say out of the blue. Ink looked up to see a man standing by his window, the guy had bone white hair. Ink couldn't make out his facial features. He could see a cloak resting on his shoulders down to about his ankles.

"Who...Who are you?!" Ink said scooting towards his door.

"Well since I'm about to kidnap you...you'll find out when you wake up."

"Wake up from wha...?" Ink asked. He saw the guy walk towards him. He felt a sharp pain on the side of his head, he saw every thing go blurry and then everything went dark...
