Lily's (Mahila) point of view
As I walk over to Mick's cell with the alpha on my tail, I see Mick is not only in a full silver cell. He is also in iron cuffs that have a line of silver wrapped around it, that are chained to the wall. He has enough chain to be able to get to his bed and sleep, but not in the most comfortable way. Even after everything the man has done to me, I kinda feel bad for him. Now more then ever after hearing what my aunt said.
"Hello Mick," I say in a strong voice, but on the inside I am so nervous. He pops his head up, and that same evil look in his eyes. He spits out, "Got a girl to come in here to do your dirty work now, to chicken to do it yourself asshole." He says it with so much hate, I can feel the venom come out of his mouth. He doesn't stop there though, with a bit of a chuckle he continues. " Or did you bring me this little thing to play with, I can do some nasty things to you. Oh and how about your pretty little wife of yours, I should have took her when I had the chance, and then killed that little bastard you call a son."
I was boiling I was so mad, You can talk all the crap you want about me, but never bring up my friends and family. I could feel the anger coming off the alpha right behind me, So before he had the chance I yelled out. "THAT'S ENOUGH MICK, YOU WILL KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND ONLY ANSWER ME WHEN I ASK YOU A QUESTION." His eyes grew about 2 inches as he stared up at me with out a peep outta his mouth.
Now satisfied, I turn to look at the alpha and tell him to open Mick's door. Shock written all over his face, he tells me "No, you are not going in there with that monster." I turn to Mick and use my alpha tone. "You will sit on your bed, you will not move until I say other wise and you will not touch me, is that clear." He immediately went to his bed and sat down and said "Yes alpha". I turn to look at the alpha and nod toward the door for him to open it. Shaking his head the whole time he goes over and unlocks the door.
As he opens it he walks in before me and stands right next to me. I look Mick in the eyes, I see that he had time to heal from the night we were rescued. "Mick I need you to remember who you were before you were a rogue, can you tell me who you were?" With a bit of a growl he snaps back, "I was born a rogue, and I will die one as well. You will never change me." I had to think fast, cause I didn't know how much time my magic would last for my disguise.
My instincts took over and I remembered how I put the images into Shyan's mind so her pack could find us, so I put my fingers to Micks temples and concentrated on his subconscious. I am able to see the time he spent in this cell, the bast few years he kidnapped and tortured people. The few months before that was all bury and I can't really make it out, just blurs of a man hitting and beating Mick and others, and standing over him with a black glow. Anything before that is black, it's all been blocked.
Lucky for me it was just not blocked an not erased. It is actually almost impossible to completely erase someones memories. So as I am concentrating on what I want to do, I can't get through. The magic this person has is very powerful. Sheba I need to get through his subconscious to know what we are up against. I need to know if these people can be saved, is there anything I can do? I ask my wolf, because she usually knows what to do. Yes Mahila there is but one thing you can do. She pauses for a moment, but I need to know now. What is it Sheba? You have to believe in your self, believe you are the chosen and that you can do this.
Well that was helpful, not. How am I suppose to believe in all that I am just 10, almost 11 now. I'm just a little girl, how can I know that I am special and chosen. I really have no other choice, if I want the information I asked for then I have to try. With my fingers still pressed to Mick's temples I dig deep with in my self. If I don't do this I let down my family, and my kingdom. Maybe I am ment to do this, My mother always told me I was special, I always though it was just what most mothers tell their kids. She always believed in me and now its time I believe in myself.
As I dig deeper in myself, the black wall starts to break and I start to see Mick as a warrior of the royal pack. He was very loyal to the king and queen, and he had friends and family. Unmated but he was happy none the less. I start digging to the day he went missing, they were on their way to a battle with the rogue kings army. They didn't quite make it to the battle when they were ambushed by about fifty witches. Unknown to the warriors, there were about a hundred of them, the walked right into the trap that the witches had set.
It is hard to see the symbols etched into the dirt when it was a green tall grass lush field. So not being able to get out or touch the witches, they were put under a spell that put their minds to sleep but kept their bodies awake to walk on their own. It was almost like they were zombies. Yes that is what I am going to name that spell. When the finally came to they were in a cave like place. If it was a cave it was enormous. They were chained to the wall with silver cuffs laced with wolfsbane. They kept them week and unfed and nothing to drink for a week.
When they were about to die this tall man with a bulky build came in, he was dressed in all black and had a mask over his face. I though he had a cane but as he got closer to Mick, I saw that it was more like a staff. It was almost as tall as the man, pure golden with a crimson line swirling around the thick golden staff to the bottom. The head of it looked like a dragons head mouth open, and black coal eyes. As he came over to Mick he put the dragons face up to Mick's and said some words. As he says the words the black coal eyes start to swirl with red in them, and that's when it all goes black.
Releasing my fingers from Mick's temple I step back as I look at him, His eyes look like the dragons eyes right now as they swirl. Then out of no where they go back to his normal color of yellow but more brighter. Inhaling a deep breath like he hasn't been breathing in days he looks around. His eyes land on the alpha and then on my. "What just happened, I remember everything." Putting his face in his hands he starts crying, "I'm a monster, what have I done. How could I do those things, the king and queen will never forgive me."
With my heart breaking for this man, I put my hand on his shoulder. "Hey, it's not your fault, I saw it all. I know what happened to you and your men, there was nothing you could do. The man that calls himself the rogue king, he plays dirty and he did you wrong, he had you under a spell. I'm sure people will understand." Looking up from his hands, with a wet face he looks me straight in the eyes. "You have no clue what I have done, who I hurt and how many I killed. Oh god that poor little girl, She probably thinks I'm a monster, and I am."
Looking at the alpha he says with a serious look. "Please just kill me now, I don't deserve your kindness of being alive and a bed." I look back at the alpha an he looks conflicted, he looks like he wants to take the man up on his offer but then he feels bad for him. I put my hand on his arm and tell him, "Mick was under a very powerful spell that no one could break, none of this is his fault. That man made him into a monster to do his dirty work." Looking like he understands but still conflicted I tell him to kneel.
With out hesitation he gets on one knee and bows to me. "No don't bow just kneel down so I can show you something." Lifting his head back up he looks at me with confusion in his eyes, I then put my finger to his temple and project the images of what I saw from Mick's mind to his. As I am done I look down at him and he has shock written all over his face. Now truly understanding what Mick went through he walks back over to him and unlocks his cuffs.
Looking up Mick says, "What are you doing, you have to lock me up and throw away the key, I am a monster, a horrible being and I don't deserve to live." I put my finger under his chin so he looks at me and tell him. "Look Mick, I know you are hurt and scared right now, but your actions weren't your own. You are not a bad person, you just had a bad break." With a humph he said, "yea tell that to the little girl I almost killed a few times in the past few years." I tilted his head up again and with a wave of my hand I reveled to him that I was in fact Lily, the little girl he almost killed a few times. "Yea I did and she forgives you Mick,"
