Leia POV:
Bosch took a step forward and Una growled at him. "I just figured you would want some company. I am sure it gets lonely here." Bosch said. I knew he was trying to upset me but I wouldn't give him the satisfaction. "I have all the company I want right here, can't say the same for you. You must be lonely out there, not having any friends. Having to use magic and blackmail to have people around you. It's honestly very sad, but why use the magic on me? Afraid Una and I are too strong for you to handle?" I taunted. I was the queen at going tit for tat with people. If he wanted to upset me he would have to try a lot harder. "You will understand why I am doing what I am doing. You are too young right now but don't worry. I'll keep you close to me while I kill everyone you love." Bosch laughed before he disappeared. Somehow deep inside me I knew he was full of shit. There was no way that he could kill them, I was right. Others were too strong for him which is why he needs to use magic or blackmail. "Leia, I can get to Brad." Una said, pulling me from my thoughts. "Let him know I am fine for now. Bosch is using me to blackmail them. Tell him to get to Alley, let her know what is going on." I replied sitting next to her cage. I knew it was just a matter of time before this hell was over.....
**Brad POV**
We have been hunting for Leia since she went missing, her scent was lost which means someone masked it. "Is there any news today?" I asked Jackson. "No, not just yet, Alley and the others are practicing their elements. We have made peace with the dark witches and we are hoping that they can help us locate Leia somehow." Jackson replied. "Please let me know if you find her. Mom and dad are going nuts." I said as the guilt hit me again in waves. I should have kept her home but I didn't. I knew she was having a hard time with Alley leaving and I encouraged her to do stuff that made her happy. "We will find her Brad, I promise but we need a little more time. I have to go for now. I'll call you again soon." Jackson said. I could hear voices in the background. "Thank man, talk to you soon." I replied as I hung up the phone. "Any news?" My mother asked. I turned to see her hugging one of Leias hoodies and my heart sank. "Not just yet, they have made peace with the dark witches for now. Jackson said they are going to ask them for help finding her." I replied. "I don't know how they can help.. What about the trackers? Have they found her scent again?" My mother asked.
I hated seeing her like this. She didn't deserve this. "Not that I am aware of but I haven't talked to Charles yet." I replied quietly. "Your father is with the alpha. He should be back later tonight. I think I am going to lay down for a little while." My mother said, Her voice cracked at the end and I could feel the tears build up in my eyes. "Go rest mom, I will come to you when I know something more." I replied, kissing her on the cheek. I watched her drag herself up the stairs and I took a deep breath. I needed to exhaust myself finding her. I was her big brother, it was my responsibility to protect her and I failed. "You need to stop blaming yourself." Blane my wolf said. "It's hard not to when I should have told her to stay home." I replied walking out of the door. Blane and I bickered a lot but he was the one who understood me the most. I walked through the woods searching for Charles, alpha spear had made sure to send trackers out everyday to see if they could catch her scent. I could hear them talking not far ahead of me and as they all turned and looked at me I knew they didn't find anything.
Leia was the daughter of the beta, she was on top of everyones list and we were very grateful for that. "I was about to come find you." Charles said, walking towards me. "I know, I am assuming you haven't found anything." I replied. "I'm sorry but no. We are pushing further out each day." Charles said, looking down. "Has anyone seen anything odd or weird?" I asked hoping maybe there was a cabin or cave somewhere that we don't know about. "Not on these lands, we will have to ask the neighboring packs permission to cross in to their lands." Charles said. "Leave that to me, I will get you permission. Thank you for continuing to look for her." I said, extending my hand out. We shook hands and I turned on my heels to walk to our pack house. I knew Stephen wouldn't mind if our trackers came on to his lands but out of respect we still needed to ask. "Brad.." I stopped in my tracks and looked around. "Brad.. Can you hear me?" A voice rang out in my head. "Una? Una! Where are you?!" I shouted. "We don't know, I don't have much energy but we are fine for now.. Bosch.. He is after Alley. You must warn her." Una replied.
She sounded exhausted. "We know, but where are you? Where is Leia? Are you two okay?" I asked quickly. "Bosch has a spell on us. I'm locked away... Leia is locked in her own head, not in control of body." Una said, as she spoke her voice got quieter and quieter. "What do you mean? Can you tell me anything you see?" I asked. "House.. old..." Una whispered before I felt the line cut off. I ran straight towards the pack house and didn't stop until I barged into the office. "Brad?" My dad said, jumping to his feet. "Una! Leias wolf.. She reached out to me just now." I said, trying to catch my breath. "What did she say? Where are they??" My dad asked standing in front of me. "She is very weak, she said Bosch has them. Una is locked away while Leia is locked in her own mind. They aren't in control of her body anymore." I replied. "What does that mean? Bosch is the one after Alley right?" My dad asked, looking at alpha spear. "He is.. I will call Stephen. What else did Una say?" Alpha spear asked. "Something about a house. An old house? The link was cut before she could even finish." I replied.
My heart was beating out of my chest, "But they are okay for now?" My dad asked. "Yes, she said that they were but dad.. If she isn't in control of her body then I wonder what he is doing to them.. We have to find them." I replied feeling the hair on my skin stand up. "We will keep your link open and reach out to Una. Maybe you can reach her. We will send word out to be on the lookout for an old house or something." My father said, patting my shoulder. "Go home, check on your mother." My father added. I nodded my head and walked out of the door. I had more hope now than I did earlier today. I sent a silent prayer to the goddess that we find her soon and she is unharmed.
Leia POV: I could hear people stomping around in the house like they were trying to get away from something or someone. Shouting started and I could hear chanting. What was going on? Bosch had me locked in a dark closet so I couldn't see anything that was happening. The wind outside was howling which was weird because we were in the woods somewhere so it shouldn't be that bad. I perked my ears the best I could and I could hear what sounded like water? What was that smell? "Fuck! Bethany you need to get the hell out of here now!" Bosch roared. The door flung open to reveal a very angry looking man. "Let's go." Bosch snarled, grabbing on to my hair. I could feel his fingers dig into the back of my scalp and I couldn't even scream out in pain. "Where am I supposed to go? I can't take those carriers on!" Bethany screeched. Carriers? The element carriers! "It's not the carrier's idiot, I suggest you run as fast as you can, I will find you soon." Bosch snapped before I felt the air hit
**Brandon POV**Brad had sent word that he spoke to his sister's wolf, she said something about an old house. We had searched all of them and now we were about an hour away from our pack lands. All hell broke loose when we got close enough, dark witches were throwing bags and running away, but there was a figure I knew all too well. "There is Bethany! Grab her!" I yelled. Alex was closer to her than the rest of us and I watched as he darted through the trees and tackled her to the ground. Bethany let out the loudest scream I had ever heard to the point it actually hurt my ears. "Get off of me!" Bethany screamed. "Shut up! Where is Leia?" Tye shouted in her face. "Fuck you!" Bethany roared, ramming her head into Tyes face. Alex ran over just as Bethany got to her feet, he grabbed her around her hips and slammed her back to the ground. "Where is she?!" Alex growled i
Leia POV:I had lost track of the days at this point, I stopped paying attention to people that were coming and going, Una was doing her best to keep her strength but I could feel that I was losing myself. The things this horrible man made me do will forever haunt me. I've killed innocent people against my own will. I was nothing more than a toy to him. At least when I would see Atsila he would somehow get me to stay positive but it has been days since I have seen him. Maybe Bosch killed him. Maybe he went to Alley. Maybe they have given up searching for me. I felt bad as soon as the thought passed through me. I know they would never give up but it's just so hard to stay positive. "Ah, my little soldier. Are you ready?" Bosch asked, grabbing the sides of my face. I wanted so badly to jerk myself away and kick him in the nuts but I could. I could feel his long nails diggi
Brandon POVI had just gotten back in time to see Alley had teleported the group we had sent out. I was curious to see if they found anything, at least I could tell her family some good news for a change."It's teleportation, I tend to be impatient at times. We need the full details, how many, where are they, the main entrance? All details please." Alley said, walking over to Stephan. I coughed back a laugh from their reactions. "Well they have one main house which is where Bosch is, then they have three others that surround them, one for rogues, one for vampires and the other for the dark witches." One said."That is perfect. Any children or anything?" Stephen asked. "No children at all, we checked al
Leia POV:When I woke back up I was still in the cell, "Ah my little pet, did you sleep well." Bosch said, leaning against the door. "Bastard." I muttered to myself. "Now, that isn't very nice of you, and here I thought I would feed you." Bosch replied, shaking his head. "Yeah, I'd rather starve and die. Go fuck yourself." I said, flipping him off. I stand by what I said, death would be better than this hell I've been living in. "Today is a big day and I don't need you messing it up." Bosch said throwing the food on the ground. I mean I couldn't get it even if I really wanted it. I'm not in control of what I do. Bosch opened up the cell door and grabbed me by the hair, "Let's go. We have to get to our next destination." He said, dragging me down the hallway. I started smelling smoke and I could swear I heard sizzling. "They are here." Una whispered. Bosch stopped and l
Leia POV:Pythia took a deep breath, "Get with Stony, we need to do wraps that we can place on her, get a pillow and blanket so she is somewhat comfortable. I want an IV in here ASAP to push fluids through her." Pythia ordered. The other woman disappeared and Pythia sat down next to me. "So tell me what exactly happened." She said, looking down at me. There was no judgment in her eyes and I felt oddly comfortable talking to her. "Well, I was having a hard time with Alley moving away so I partied a lot. It's my fault honestly, I knew I shouldn't have gone but I did. I was almost to my car when Bosch showed up. He tried to take me. I busted him up and now I'm here." I replied, shrugging my shoulders. "You are the daughter of a beta right? You're naturally strong. Alley has said you are a tough little cookie." Pythia said with a smile. "I'm sure my family is worried. I don't blame anyone but myself. I knew better but I didn't rea
Leia POV:I didn't even realize I fell asleep until I heard my name being called. "Time to wake up girlie girl." Pythia said, looking down at me. "What time is it?" I asked. "It's about eight in the morning but we need to get started on this process." Pythia replied. "I'm ready." I said sternly. I looked up to see Una was stretching herself out. "Now remember, hold on tight to Una, use her to stay strong because this is going to not feel the best." Pythia said softly. I knew it wouldn't be but it had to be done. Una laid down behind me and I crawled over to her. "Not much longer Una, we will be back to normal." I whispered, wrapping my arm around her. "We are just going to get right into it, we have to make cuts, your body must be at a weak point for this to work so a lot of blood will be lost but it won't kill you." Pythia said. I looked around to see three other women standing aro
*Pythia POV*I honestly felt horrible for having to do this but we all knew there was no other way. She was losing a lot of blood and the last thing I wanted to do was worry her, "We need to start healing the open wounds, apply the herbs please." I said not bothering to look up. My main focus was casting the spells in the books and keeping an eye on her. Even though her outer body stopped jerking around there were still some movements. It was bad enough she had other cuts and bruises on her but now there was more. She would have scars on her body and I made a mental note to make her some sort of cream to lighten them so that they wouldn't stand out all that much. I took a deep breath and looked down at her, "Deep breath in there Leia." I said knowing she was about to start screaming again. "Richiamo la magia oscura interiore. Lascia questo vaso e torna alla madre t
