"They are." A man from the crowd said. "But that's not our business. That's Ulfric's. for now, we clean this mess up and everyone goes back into their homes. Now." The man demanded. Everyone shuffled around before the group began to disperse. Welters looked up at Can.
"You best get back to bed." He told Can. "You have quite the decision to make tomorrow. I'll take care of Marzia..."

"Yeah..." Cannon stood and headed back towards the house, intent on finding Bella and then following Ulfric.
-
As Cannon entered the home however, he walked in to find it empty. Had Diana and Bella both gone to bed? Bella's room was upstairs....
-
He didn't want to wake her. How would he explain what was going on? He was also worried for the prisoners, Ulfric was insane. The Mandalorian stood there undecided for several seconds.
-
Then, he noticed the light from Bella's room from under her door. Her door was the one up the stairs and on the left. Now, he knew Bella was young, but she wasn't at the age where she slept with the lights on...
-
He quickly dashed up the steps toward her door, knocking on it. "Bella? You awake?"
-
There wasn't a peep of sound from behind the door. Bella normally would have answered immediately.
-
He peeked into the room, opening the door slightly. "Bella?"
-
As Cannon looked inside, he saw the bright light yellow covered room. There was a single bed with a flower covered blanket and a dresser with a variety of pictures atop it. There was a closet door to the left upon entry and Can noticed to the right Bella's small recurve bow was hung up on the wall with her quiver and arrows hung with it. It was atop a small table where her dagger rested, the dagger Welters had given her. Can had seen her take that dagger with her EVERYWHERE. But she wasn't in the room....
-
Cannon did a quick double take, looking for clues as to where she could be.
-
She wasn't in the home. Neither was Diana. However there was also Diana and Ulfrics room which was across from Bella's which Cannon hadn't checked yet. Bella or Diana were not in any other part of the house and he didn't pick up on anything that pointed to either of them leaving.
-
"Anyone here?" He called towards the door.
-
Like the rest of the home, it was quiet. There was not a sound. Bella wouldn't be hiding in there would she? With Diana?
-
He knocked on the door. "Anyone in there?"
-
To his inconvenience, he heard nothing again. Not even the squeak of a mouse or Bella's incredibly loud voice.
-
He pushed the door open a crack.
-
As he did and looked inside, he saw no one in the master bedroom either. The closet was open and Cannon saw that only half the closet was filled. The Master bed was made and nothing else remained in the room. It looked normal, But Diana and Bella still were not in there, nor anywhere else in the house.
-
"... Osik." He cursed in his native tongue, not knowing what to do. He fought the rising panic in his chest and turned to leave the house, heading after Ulfric.
-
As he left however, a man in a purple cloaked stopped him. "Hey, Can." The man said as he stood in front of Can. A concerned look crossing his tanned face. This man was known as Yuri. Can had seen what he could do with a bow, it was spectacular. He was also one of the greatest men in the camp who knew how to remain unseen. He was rather quiet most of the time, so it was odd that he confronted Can now. "Something wrong? You got panic written all over you. Well, sort of anyways." Yuri asked Can.
-
"Yeah. A few things." He replied, not knowing if he could trust Yuri.

-
"It's not just that. Bella and Diana are missing, and I don't think it's coincidental." Cannon said in a hushed tone.
-
"...What are you saying, Can?" Yuri asked him. He raised his eyebrow as he spoke, as if he knew the assumption Can was going to make.
-
"I'm saying a mysterious death followed by two people dissapearing can't be coincidental. They're linked."
-
"I was drawing such a conclusion myself." Yuri told Can. "We should check around town. Ensure that Diana and Bella are actually gone. They could be around here but it's unlike Bella to be up after curfew."
-
"She left her dagger. She never leaves her dagger." Cannon pointed out. "Something's going down here, and I don't think it's the Grenwalds."
