Sariah stared back at Finn, dumbfounded by his words. Finn watched as she seemed to be conflicted by her thoughts; he really wanted to know what she was thinking. If he marked her, what would happen between them? Finn squeezed her hand again before looking away from her. Even if she said no, he was going to take her with him. She could hate him after, but it was for her safety.

Sariah sighed and stood up, "Let me think about it. It's a lot that you are asking of me.."

Finn stared up at her, concern etching onto his features. "If I escape.. You will be held responsible. I can't let that happen," He murmured before returning to sit in front of his post and leaning back against it.

Sariah looked at him in shock. "What are you doing?!" She whisper-shouted, glancing at the door suspiciously.

"Your friends are returning. You should tie me up again," Finn replied calmly. His back was already burning and sticking to the silver. Sariah pursed her lips but swiftly moved to his position and started wrapping the chains around his wrists. This time though, they were left loose.

"I will return as much as I can to get these off you," She whispered and started to walk away.

"Wait," Finn called out. Sariah stopped and looked at him. "Can you find out where my friend is? I need to help her as well… But if not, untie me, and I will search for her. My senses are better than a human's.."

Sariah smirked, "I graduated because my skills at sneaking and hiding are on par with like a ninja's. Plus, if I get caught.. which I won't, I at least won't be as suspicious as a werewolf.."

Finn's brows rose at the comment, and he watched in awe as she sauntered through the doors. His little huntress was like a ninja? He smiled, imagining her sneaking around. His smile dropped as his thoughts caught up to him; it was dangerous for her to be sneaking about. But what else could they do?

He groaned to himself. The quicker they find Aila's location, the better. They needed to get out of here, especially if Aila is being tortured. No, there was no if about it. Clint was torturing her. His hands clenched together behind his back at the thought of him touching his Luna. But at the moment, his hands were tied (literally); he couldn't do anything until Sariah found where Aila was.

That evening, Sariah returned late into the night. She was so quiet that when Finn turned his head, he jolted in surprise to see her sitting on the haystack next to him.

"What the hell.. you really are a ninja..when did you get here?" He asked in shock. His cute little huntress really was skilful. She was quiet enough to take him by surprise- a werewolf with incredible senses.

Sariah shrugged and knelt down next to him, instantly taking off the chains from around his wrist. Finn hissed slightly and leaned forwards, taking deep breaths to help with some of the pain from the silver. It wasn't as bad as wolfsbane, but it still weakened him and burned his skin.

"Lie down. I'll put some ointment on it," Sariah said quietly. Finn looked at her but didn't say anything as he lay on his front, his head resting on his arms as he glanced at Sariah, who pulled out a small tin pot. He didn't see the point in having ointment put on the skin. It was only going to burn again when he was up against it.

"I've made sure that the other hunters won't come in here.." She said almost as if she had read his mind. She began gently applying the gel that cooled down the burns on his back.

Her hands were so gentle, and even with the cooling gel on his back, he felt his body heat up just because she was touching him. He clenched his eyes shut, he wanted to do a lot more with more, but he couldn't. So, he quietly accepted her help while calming down his need to claim her; his wolf wasn't even released yet, he wondered how he would react to her.

Well, he knew from watching others, it would be hard to go without her. What if Sariah didn't accept him? Wolves didn't always accept their mates, and she was not a werewolf, so would she not have the same intense feelings that were slowly burning beneath his skin?

"All done," She whispered, interrupting him from his deep thoughts. Finn glanced at her, their eyes locked, and a blush grew on her cheeks. Sariah looked down, closing the lid on the tin, avoiding eye contact. Finn focused more on her, and he could hear her heart racing. She was affected just as much as he was; maybe there was a bit of hope. He internally shook his head; this was not the time to be thinking about such things.

He needed to focus, and so did she. They needed to plan this carefully. From what he had observed of the valley and how quiet the area was, they were in the middle of nowhere.

"Sariah.." He sat up and stared at her, "Do you know this area well?"

Sariah nodded her head, "I grew up in the city Cover nearby.." She looked down then released her breath, "I will come with you.. I don't think you can get out of this without my help. I know the roads here and where the hunters are based. All we need to do is get a car and escape in the middle of the night, right? We'll need to leave as soon as possible.. We are meant to be moving out in a couple of days to another compound."

Finn sat up and nodded his head, "Okay. Find Aila.. And if we can, maybe we can get out of here tomorrow night.." He replied confidently, though he felt anxious while staring at Sariah.

She got up to leave again, this time without chaining him up again. Just as she made it to the doors, Finn called out to her, "Be careful." Sariah's eyes widened briefly before she nodded and left through the barn doors.

Unlike how they planned, though, the pair could not escape the following night. After Sariah sneaked around during the night and throughout the day, she returned, explaining to Finn that Clint had taken Aila to the basement of the cabin. He also had yet to leave the basement, which caused the pair to be even more anxious. They were leaving soon, and this seemed like their best shot at escaping. After Sariah gave Finn plenty of food and pretending to inject wolfsbane into him, she returned to sussing out how to get Aila free.

On the second day, his little huntress returned looking much more determined and confident, as well as a little nervous. Finn was lying on the haystacks munching on an apple she left him and turned onto his side, leaning his head on his hand as she approached him. She paused and openly gaped at his shirtless torso before catching his smirk, and in return, her cheeks heated in embarrassment. Finn wanted to tease her, but her earlier excitement was contagious, and they needed to focus.

"What's happened?" He asked, searching her eyes.

"I really need to get you a shirt.." She muttered to herself. "And.. I managed to sneak into the cabin unnoticed.. He took Aila to the shower.." She trailed off after seeing his features harden in anger. "Erm.. But I listened to their conversation.. And he is sleeping in his room tonight as we are meant to be packing up tomorrow evening. He looked tired, so maybe he's regaining his strength.. Well, actually, he looked psychotic.."

"That's not something I want to hear," Finn growled, but he held his anger down at the thought of what Aila was going through. His temper had been building up over the last two days, and he knew his wolf was nearly with him. The wolfsbane was nearly out of his system, and so his emotions would be out of control for a while. Until he and his wolf were back in sync. Which he knew would be hard because Sariah was also here.

"But, do you think we can get her tonight?" Finn added, his excitement pushed past his anger, and he smiled after Sariah nodded at him. "Okay, I'll be with you tonight. So, if we do bump into any issues, I'll be your muscle.."

"You do have a lot of it.." She murmured, her eyes flickered to his arms momentarily before covering her mouth and looking away as though he wasn't meant to hear what she said.

Finn chuckled and sat up, scooting to sit next to Sariah. He leaned closer to her, causing her to still, and her eyes widen at his sudden advancement. "You don't need to be shy around me.. I like what I see as well," He whispered in her ear before chuckling again and pulling away from her.

"So.. Tonight we escape," Finn changed the subject and watched Sariah relax. He couldn't help it, but he also didn't want to scare her. Hopefully, his wolf would chill when he came through, and hopefully, that would be tonight. It would be helpful if he was at his full strength, and if need be, so he could shift, but if the plan went well, they could get away quietly.
