Neither do I but this is her father! We can not let her lose anyone else she has lost to much already
Thea
I'll keep her safe Arden. I would never put her in harm's way but if she has a chance to get him back we need to let her. You might be able to see into her mind a little at a time but I live in it. She can't lose him. Not after everything they have taken
Me
But I don't want them to be free they deserve to never breath clean air again
Thea
I don't plan on letting them go free but they have no idea about her powers for all they know they only think she's a wolf not a banshee and hellhound too nobody knows that
Bás
She's right. We need proof first, then we can think about setting it up for our benefit. Get mum to start with visions and see if she can see anything
Me
Fine ok. This better work
I cut the link and looked at her. I grab her shoulders and sit her down on a chair.
"I have a plan"
I say to her, her eyes snap to mine
"We go to the cellar and I stay in the bubble outside and you go in and talk to Donny and tell him you need proof that he's alive right now. If they send us proof that he's alive and unharmed then you will free him and swap them. But don't worry they won't get away with this. Also you need to keep your power's secret, if they ask you are a wolf and no more? We can use that to our advantage but first step proof. If we have proof he's still alive then I promise I will go to the ends of this earth and beyond with you to save him I promise"
Her eyes softened and she even smiled a little but then tears started to fall. I opened my arms and she climbed into them and rested her head on my shoulder in a ball.
"I'm scared. What if I'm not strong enough to face him. What if I mess it up?"
She quietly sobs into my shirt. I hold her tight
"You are my warrior queen and you are the strongest woman I've ever met. In Fact You are stronger than anyone i've ever met. And if you stumble I will be there to catch you, if you cry I will be there to hold you and if they try to hurt you I will kill them all. I'll kill an army for you baby. I'll be right there in the background and I'll never leave your side"
"Ok. Ok. Let's do this. The faster we do it the faster we find out and the faster I get him back"
I lift her into my arms and I carry her outside and stick a smoke in her mouth and then i take one of my own. I lit them up and we walked to the cellar, aspen smoked beside us and we stopped a good bit away.
"I don't think we should tell a soul about this! Not yet. Yes mum and dad,gran and pops, maybe Megs and Brian but no one else, not until we have a plan."
She says to me I nod
"I agree, you need a cover for how she got past the guard though"
"Can I not say I'm Luna and I commanded him away?"
She pokes her head from my chest.
"You could but he probably knows you're not allowed down there without me."
"I could say that the guards a friend and agreed to step out while I stepped in?"
"Yes, say that. His name is Henry, tell him he is sometimes your personal guard so he's under your command and he won't tell the alpha on you, and act a little afraid of Arden. Give them a fake sense of your relationship."
She nods and I link the guard to step out and talk to us. He doesn't need to know. When he's out we tell him to guard the door and tell nobody that we were there. Myself and Aspen put up our bubble and we walk into the cellar. I wish it was an invisible bubble because Fay was shaking and it hurt not to hold her when she's this afraid.

Fays POV
I stood outside the holding cell door and my hands shook like my blood sugar was low. My heart was thumping in my chest so hard I was sure it was going to burst right through my body. I took one final breath and squeezed my hands tightly to try and rid myself of the tremble
I open the door and walked in with my head held high. The smell was putrid and the air was thick and hard to breathe. Donny was asleep on the ground with his hands chained to the walls. I left the door open so Aspen and Arden could hear the conversation easier.
He looked and smelled of s**t, his clothes were dirty and so was his body. All I could think is I hope all the prisoners were not treated this way. Yes those like donny deserved it but those not like him didn't.
I lifted a bucket of water, in it floated a plant that I'm guessing is wolfsbane. I hadn't come in contact with the stuff yet but I've heard it's not a pleasant experience.
I lifted the bucket and chucked it over donny. he woke up screaming, scaring the s**t out of me and making my bones jump out of my skin. His face shot up and he growled until his eyes met mine and he growled louder.
"About f*****g time you showed your face you slut! Or has the alpha finally got bored of you and sent you down here to me for a little fun? Oh the fun we have had it's all locked away up in my Brain so I can watch it over and over again!"
I growled this time and I walked straight up to him and I kicked him up the jaw then I grabbed him by the hair and kneed him in the nose.
"Tell your mates if they want you back in one piece I need proof my father is alive and UNHARMED or I will make sure to send you back with a few toes missing! Understand?"
He tried to lunge at me but growled and shook on the chains trying to get to me. I smiled at him, satisfied that I could hurt him even just a little.
"When the proof arrives we can talk again. Sleep well you sadistic f****d up freak!"
I turned on my heels as he screamed and thrashed against the wall. I made sure to close and lock the door and then I let out a breath. Arden held his finger to his lips and waved me to the door. When we were safely outside then I turned and ran into Ardens arms. He lifted me up bridal style and carried me home.
———-
I didn't know what to do or where to look. I didn't know what to say, should I cry? Be sad? Be happy? Be devastated? All I feel is numb. What if he's not alive? What if he's dead? Do I suffer that loss all over again? Maybe numbness was better than having to deal with feelings.
I just sat on the seat in the kitchen thinking, I didn't feel hungry, or tired or thirsty. Should I? I wonder what they are doing to him? I wonder how they are treating him? I hope well considering he's a man.
I was treated like s**t because I was a dirty female that needed to be cleansed. He's not a dirty female so hopefully his treatment is better then mine was.
——-flashback——-
I had been captured for the second time, but now I had 3 captures instead of one. Kevin was sick. He treated me like s**t and tied me to a wall but this time felt different. These 3 felt worse, the danger and crazy that radiates from them is terrifying.
Especially the one called Steven. His eyes stood out, they looked manic, like he was bipolar and in a manic episode only his never stops. He's always like that and it's terrifying.
I sat in the corner of a small room with my knees to my chest as they stared at me like I was the only thing in the world. No, no I'm wrong, more like I'm the reason the world had no one but us left. Like I ended it and they hated me for it. Despised me.
"She needs to be cleansed! We can't touch her until she is cleansed"
Steven chanted over and over again, donny shook his head and tried to approach me but Steven caught his shoulder.
"No you can't touch her until she is cleansed"
"No Steven, she is already cleansed. We can touch her but we can't do that. If we do that she might die"
He talked to him like he was a child but he was mad from it. His eyes were wide as he stared at me with so much hate. He looked like he should be locked up.
"Nope Nope Nope! She needs to be cleansed. We don't touch her until she is!"
"What do you suggest we do Steven? We can't cut her like that?"
Patrick tried to reason with him. He talked to him like he was a wolf animal about to lose it.
"We, we, we bleach her! That will clense her, I will bleach her"
My eyes widened in shock. What the hell did that mean? The other men nodded in agreement. What kind of crazy batshit mother fuckers are they?
Steven disappeared for a minute and the other two argued
"What does he mean by bleaching her?"
"I don't know but it's better then mame her"
I gasped in fear? That's what he wanted to do to me? I know exactly what that is. I remember learning about it in a documentary. Girls all over the world were subjected to it but I honestly thought I'd be safe from something like that in America. My body started to tremble in fear as I fought the urge to break down and cry.
"I get he needs a play thing. I understand that she would be subjected to stuff but I'm not ok with him taking chunks off her. I'd rather just kill her then watch that."
"He will just get another one if she dies, don't act like you don't enjoy his pets!"
Donny reply's, Patrick smiles and looks me over
"Oh I do, but giving a beating or taking what we can from her is different then cutting off her damn v****a!"
He hissed back and tears sprang to my eyes. This is going to be hell. Whatever these 3 are they are sick f***s. Steven came back and walked up to me and lifted me. I screamed and thrashed in his arms. I tried to knee him and kick him. I pulled his hair and ear.
but just when I thought I'd hurt him he dropped me into a bath of boiling hot water and I screamed as he forced my entire body under the boiling hot water but I could feel my skin burn and blister and sting as he left me up for air only to push me back down again.
I could taste the bleach in the boiling water making the sting and blisters worse. It felt like acid eating my skin slowly. I thrashed against his body but it didn't matter what I did. He wasn't letting go so I gave up and hoped that death would take me Instead of taking a breath and fighting it I let the water and bleach in.
