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."
-
Yuri turned away from Can for a moment. Before he brought his attention to Can. "Can, you have been here for a short amount of time. But you have worked flawlessly. Not only that you have gotten to get closer to Diana then most have been able to. Tell me, do you trust her?" Yuri asked Can. It seemed almost out of the blue but Can was aware of the contempt towards Diana.
-
Edited by Cannon011: 5/25/2017 9:30:01 PMCannon heard the contempt and decided to take a leap of faith, hoping he could get an ally who wasn't behind bars. "No. I don't trust her, and the more I've gotten to know her the less I trust her. She's insane, and she has Ulfric wrapped around her finger." He prayed silently that this wouldn't stab him in the back.
-
"....precisely." Yuri told Can. "Canderouse, you are not pulling my leg are you? Everything you have told me now is what you TRULY feel? And Think?"
-
"Do I have reason to lie?"
-
"No. No I suppose you don't." Yuri said with caution as he looked around. He took a step closer to Can. "I have a suspicious that Diana took Bella. She also killed Marzia as a distraction to leave." He told Can in a hushed tone. "Now I know it sounds far fetched, but so is that woman. I found her sister, Lilly Coldbourne, in the woods a few days ago. Diana had her own sister imprisoned."
-
"That's... Honestly not surprising. We need to find her before she hurts Bella... But what about Ulfric? He'll never believe us, and I wouldn't be surprised if he kills the prisoners with the rage he's in."
-
"...I sense a war brewing brother." Yuri told Can. "It is likely that Ulfric will get the location of the grenwalds from the prisoners no matter what we say. However we may be able to postpone the war. That, or we could accelerate it. If we tell Ulfric Diana and Bella are gone he could go to war instantly. We can go now, or we can talk to Ulfric. It is your choice."
