"She's gone!" Damien yells as he runs back inside the house toward us.

"What do you mean she gone?!" Xavier shouts, immediately becoming panicked at the thought of Rose missing, and I'm not far behind him.

"I went out into the garden, but when I got out there she wasn't! And their was another scent mixed in with hers, so I know damn well she didn't leave willingly!" Damien explained just in the verge of shouting.

Both Xavier and Damien started pacing back and forth. They looked as if the earth was closing in all around them, like the end of the world was upon on us. And that's exactly what it felt like without Rose, our world was doomed it was crushed.

Looks like neither of them will be calm in this situation or keep their heads on straight, so I guess this means I have to be the voice of reason. Damn you know it's bad when I'M the voice of reason.

I take a minute to gather my thoughts because I've already started spiraling as well, but one of us has to stay in control and remain at least somewhat calm on the surface at the very least.

"Brothers!" I say raising my voice.

At the sound of my voice, they both stop pacing, but when I see them they have the most frightened looks on both their faces. They've gone from end of the world to 'oh shit!' in a matter of minutes, and that sadness is going to turn into anger and soon enough we'll be destroying armies to get to her

If they were in wolf form they definitely would have had their tails shoved between their legs. I've only ever seen them do that once and my tail is talking to my legs as well that was the day Rose was scolding us for something that we had done. I always feel bad when I screw up but when it's coming from her the disappointment just feels so much heavier.

I don't think me Damien or Xavier have ever actually scolded Rose don't think we have the capability within our souls to actually get angry with her.

"Let's try to remain calm-" I try saying.

"CALM? You want us to remain calm?!" Damien yells. "Our mate is gone, and I know DAMN well she didn't leave on her own accord! But if you want us to remain calm, then let's remain calm".

Well he's a lost cause, it seems I was too late and that sadness and despair has already turned into anger and rage. And the last time I saw Damien this mad he was killing Rose's former alpha.

"Okay that's fair, look all I'm saying is we can't panic. If we panic we're no use to Rose" I hissed.

We both silently glare at each other for a moment before Xavier buts in.

"He's right," Xavier adds glancing over at us, his head was tucked in a downwards position, staring at his shoes like they were the most interesting thing in the world.

"I know how you feel, we all do, she's our mate too! So quit throwing a mantrum and act like the King you are or so help me!" I seethed and threatened.

Damien looked as if he wanted to argue, but with another harsh glare from both me and Xavier, he thought better of it.

"Ok now we need to alert the elders, and we need to start getting plans together to get her back!" I ordered.

We all nod in agreement and in the next moment we we're dashing off to the pack house. On the way there Xavier woke up the troops and ordered them to be prepared for a search and destroy. Their were no chances of not getting Rose back, we were going to destroy the planet if we had to, but she was ours and she would be ours again.

Damien got the lovely task of mindlinking the elders to be awake and ready for a meeting in approximately five minutes. Given that was how long it was gonna take us to get to the pack house at our current speed. Usually it would take about 10 minutes but we were kinda in a hurry here.

We sailed into the conference room and got right down to business, their was no time to waste and I wanted to make sure that everyone knew that.

"Rose is gone." I deadpan.

Their were mixed reactions, some were furious that there queen was gone, others, well one specifically, was particularly glad that she was gone. I would kill this man one day, but unfortunately that day was not today. After all it takes way too long to appoint a new elder to our council and we did not have any time to waste.

With few growls here and there, and a threat that someone would be stripped of there titles and tossed out on their ass, we kept order in the room.

"Now we're going to search our borders in their entirety, just in case she may still be on our side, while that happens we'll prepare our spy's and our army for battle into those blood sucking leaches side of the border" I grumble last part.

We kept going through more and more plans, as more and more searches came back with nothing. We searched our entire side and then we finally infiltrated their side, those damn leeches were definitely behind this.

This caused not only Damien to lose hope but also Xavier, and I'm barely hanging on as is. We would never truly give up looking for Rose we had to fight and battle our way to get through the leeches, those blood suckers were not fully prepared to take us on but definitely made us stumble on our path.

And this was how the next couple of days went on. Day after day looking and desperately searching for our mate.

~~~~~

Cough

Cough

Cough

The only sound that reached my ears was the rushing of my blood and the faint cough that refused to yield. And I wasn't the only one that was fed up with my coughing, it seems like the people who had inflicted it were also getting that up with it.

Karma Bitch!

"Ugh! She's coughing up blood again!" Some one shouted.

More blood poured out of my mouth, at this point I think there's more blood near me than actually in me. It was making everything near me distorted I couldn't tell what was real what was fake, hell I could barely open my eyes with what little energy I possessed.

But the voices, the voices were the worst part.

I couldn't tell if they were close by or far away, the voice was fading in and out... or maybe that's me. Fading away sounds nice, the room begins to sway and fade, and just before I fade,

Splash

I'm jolted awake... it only takes a few seconds for the shivering to start. My teeth start chattering while my muscles begin to spasm all over again, they ache in pain with new reverence.

I hate these sons of bitches, no amount of torture and pain is ever enough for them. I've been beaten, whipped, water boarded, scarred and burned and so much more. I doubt I'll be able to walk away from us it's not for some serious help boy do I need it. Apparently all those horror stories I used to hear when I was younger, were true.

They were also the nicer version of what these vampires are capable of.

All those stories of little kids being taken, and being so horrific when their bodies were finally found that no one could even identify their body's. As if her faces had been burned off their fingers cut away and their teeth were manually ripped out so there was no way to identify them.

It's as if they wanted them to suffer not only in life but in death as well they wouldn't even give their loved ones the peace of mind that that they had been found. Because they were unrecognizable... so they would rot away in an unmarked grave and everyone would wonder what had happened to them.

Those were the bastards that currently stood just outside my cell/cage, laughing and taunting at me.

"Good that should teach her", they laughed while walking away.

I have no clue how long I've been here. There's no windows down here, at least none that I've seen but then again I can barely keep my eyes open anymore. I'm only reminded that I'm still here because of every painful gasp of air, the blood that's currently filling my lungs, and the pain radiating from my entire body.

I hated this, I thought my pack was bad before but I'm starting to see that was a walk in the garden compared to this.

But I haven't given up I have faith in my mates hopefully one day will find me, that or the sweet release of death will find me. Either way I will be found.

Damien?

Lucian?

Xavier?!

Please anybody!!

It's no use. I'm not sure why I even bother with mindlinking anymore, it never works and it's not like I was that good at before I was taken.

They injected me with something the first night I was here, and since then I haven't been able to mindlink with anyone.

I glance down at my stomach, it's got bruised marks all over it. Bloody and bruised I'm not even sure if I'm carrying anymore, probably not.

Probably for the best, who would want to bring a child into a world like this?

At that thought I begin to weep again. I know I shouldn't cry, it's not like me. But I'm just so sick of being strong, I just want to break.

I loose track of time, I have no clue how long I've been crying. I start to see multiple figures coming towards me, at least I think. The tears are making it hard to see.

Great! Time for my daily does of pain and bad puns

I'm not sure what hurts more the whip, or their bad jokes. Frankly I think the pain would be easier to bear if they weren't laughing and joking the entire time. It just worsens my view on them, they have no humanity in them they're just monsters!

"Alright wolf whore time for lunch, I'm thinking a knuckle sandwich" he sneered. Then before I could react he sucker punched me in the gut.

I sucked in a painful gasp of air, but all it did was trigger a sharp pain shooting throughout my body and before I knew it I was hacking up blood.

"Now now, your highness can't have you dying on us", one of them taunted while jerking my head up by my hair.

When I came face to face with the bastard, I gathered the blood that was pooling in my mouth, spat in his face and with every last ounce of strength, I snapped,

"Burn in hell you leach!"

"Oh now your gonna get it you bitch!" he thundered.

Slap

I reared my head back, my body hit the concrete that was already stained red with my blood. I gasped, and willed air into my lungs.

Worth it...
