Unchained

Deadline in ten.

Devlin and Hayden had Attica and Amony come over with Damon and Aleski to watch over the kids while they were still sleeping. They are the other hand had gone over to Charlie's to see how she was feeling. They were not expecting to see her up when they walked into her house. She was at the coffee table with her laptop an was searching the surrounding areas for caves an other places she thought the mysterious man might hide Xavier. She was staring at the screen even as they walked in. She never took her eyes away from it. She had a note pad beside of her laptop and scribbled notes and coordinates down as she looked over the map. Come here Hayden, Devlin. Charlie stated seriously, never looking up from the screen. Hayden and Devlin gave each other a weary look an walked over to her. What do you think about these areas? They are remote and there is a cave here an also over here. She explained as she pointed to the map. Do you think we should go check it out? Charlie asked as she finally looked up from the screen to speak to them. I think ........ that is a great idea. Devlin an I were just talking about that. Devlin gave his father a deadline, if he is not here with Xavier by eleven tonight then we hunt him down and kill him. Charlie's eyes got very wide and they flashed teal as if her wolf was about to emerge. His father?! Your father did this?! Charlie jumped up out of her seat an faced Devlin with her eyes turning full wolf. Her eyes were a beautiful teal but they were also terrifying when she was mad. Hayden stepped in front of Charlie and put her hands on her shoulders. Charlie, look at me. Hayden said softly. It isn't like that. We just found out for sure that it was him, when he contacted Devlin on the phone. He wasn't sure until about and hour ago. He hates his father, his father never cared much for him either since he tried to kill him on several different occasions when Devlin was growing up. Hayden explained. Charlie's eyes returned to normal and she gave Devlin a sympathetic look. I am sorry Dev. I am just a little on edge right now. Devlin gave her a sad smile. It's okay, I think we have all been a little on edge but you deserve to be... given the current situation. I promise we will get him back though. Devlin promised her. Do you guys have a plan, I can't think straight. I never in a million years, thought this would happen to me, Xavier is very strong. He has to be keeping him out cold. Maybe drugging him? Charlie looked as if she was about to panic. She turned and sat back on the couch trying to catch her breath. Hayden sat down beside of her an placed her hand on Charlie's knee. Charr, we will find him. He will be fine. It is Ava and Theia that he wants. We have been thinking about that. I am going to see if Attica can help with that like she did with the Devil's Flag. Maybe create another Golem? Hayden said as she looked up at Devlin. Devlin nodded. Charlie had hope in her eyes when Hayden turned back to her. You think that could work? Charlie asked hopefully. Her blue eyes filling with tears. Hayden gave her a small smile. Yes, I think it could work, but we are gonna give him until eleven tonight. If he doesn't show we will go out an find him. Hayden explained. Charlie looked back at the computer screen with a sigh. She reached over an shut the top. We need to find him Hayden. I feel like I'm about to lose it. I have never felt this way before. I'm scared. Like actually scared that my wolf is close to taking over, and.... I will be lost forever. Charlie explained as she looked back at Hayden. Tears falling freely now. Hayden grabbed  her best friend and hugged her firmly. That is not an option. You know that we would never let that happen. We have Amony. She would not let that happen. Hayden said as she pulled back from Charlie to look her in the eyes. Charlie wiped at her tears. Then we had better find him because if it happens..... I don't think anyone will be able to stop it. Charlie said as she laid back against the cushions. Hayden looked up at Devlin. He shrugged his shoulders. Unsure if her statement was true or not. He just knew that he wasn't going to let that happen to her. If they lost Charlie then Hayden would never get over it. He thought to himself as he looked down at his phone. He had been trying to crack the block that his father had place before calling. He kept getting close but he couldn't quite get it. He knew he needed Tia an Anthony to take a look at it. He sent a quick text to Tia an told them where to meet him. He looked at the time. Deadline in ten ladies. Be ready. Devlin said as he turned an looked out the window. He is very sneaky an we won't know that he is here until it's to late. Keep your eyes and ears open. Devlin announced as he continued to look out the window.

Xavier felt heavy. His limbs felt as if they were weighed down. He tried to move an realized that he couldn't. He cracked his eyes open to pitch black surroundings. His eyes took a moment to adjust. His wolf senses taking over. He blinked a few times and realized with a gut wrenching fear that he was not in his bed. He didn't remember how he had gotten to wherever this was. He tried turning his head to look around for someone but he couldn't move his head either. He had been drugged. He came to the conclusion quickly. His eyes grew wide an he tried to reach out to Charlie with his mind. Their bond made it possible to communicate briefly. A moment later he heard her respond.  Where are you Babe? What do you see?  Xavier realized that she sounded frantic a little on edge. He worried for her. He tried to turn his head again an still couldn't. I see nothing. It is pitch black, it feels damp an cold. Maybe in a cave somewhere. I smell vampire but I don't see anyone. I can't.................. And he was cut off as he felt a pin prick in his neck. He had known the vampire was close but he couldn't move to see him. Theron pulled the needle out of the wolves neck an looked down at his limp form laying against the cave floor.  He couldn't believe that he hadn't sensed it the moment that the wolf was awake. s**t. I hope you gave them nothing in that short amount of time! Theron yelled at Xavier's unconscious form. He kicked him in the back an walked back to the other side of the cave. He had a young human strung up in the corner. The whole top of her was naked while the bottom half she wore a short black skirt. She whimpered as he grew near. What? Theron said to her. I can't understand you with that mouth gag. He pulled it out of her mouth. SPEAK! he yelled. Please let me go. I can come feed you anytime you need me. You don't have to do this, please. I am freezing here. Don't kill me Sir. The girl cried. Theron put the mouth gag back into her mouth as she struggled. No one said that I was going to kill you. I don't kill humans, for that would make me into an uncontrollable monster. I do not wish to become one of those slobbering morons. I am from a time where this, my dear.... is normal. Theron explained as he gestured to her. She whimpered again an he waved a dismissive hand in her direction. He walked back to the entrance to his home at the far end of the cave. The one he had called home from the moment he had escaped those chains that his very own son cast him in. That mountain was very remote. His son had placed him far from civilization in hopes no one would ever stumble upon him. The hiker that had found him didn't know what he was. He unchained him an Theron fed until he had his strength back. The hiker was very close to death when Theron had given him his blood to revive him. He wondered into his room an sat at the edge of his plush bed. He looked over at his table as his phone lit up with a notification. He waved it off as he laid back onto his bed. He thought about the moment he could get revenge on his son. He had no plans of killing Xavier unless he had too, but he did plan on killing his son. He smiled to himself as he looked up at the dry cracked cave roof. Yes. indeed, it will feel so great to see the life drain from his eyes. Theron whispered to no one in particular. He sensed that the wolf was regaining consciousness again and grabbed another dose of wolf's bane. The wolf was starting to get use to burning this off. He thought as he walked back over to Xavier and gave him another injection. He spat at the werewolf an threw the syringe at him. He walked back into his room an picked up his phone. The message he seen on his phone made his eyes go wide with disbelief. 

Charlie stood from the couch. Her eyes distant. It looked as if she was in a trance. Hayden looked at Devlin with question in her eyes. I think she is hearing from Xavier. Devlin said as he walked closer to her. A moment later her eyes were back to normal as she sank back into the sofa. DAMNIT! Charlie yelled an covered her eyes. She ran her hands through her hair and stood again. She started to pace the floor. Back an Forth. What happened Charlie? Did you hear from him? Devlin asked her. Yes, but it wasn't long. He thinks he is in a cave. He said it is damp. He could smell a vampire but he couldn't see him. That is when we got cut off. His last words were. I can't. Charlie explained as she stopped in her tracks an covered her face again. I don't know what to do!!! I have never felt so helpless before. About that time Tia and Anthony walked through the door. Any word? Anthony asked curiously. Yes, but it was only a moment. Devlin answered as he handed his phone to Tia. I need you to find out what number that is. I almost had it but I can't seem to crack the last two numbers. He explained. Tia took the phone an walked over in front of Charlie's computer. Do you mind? Tia asked. Charlie shook her head. Go ahead. We need all the help we can get. She replied. Tia sat down and took a USB cord out of her jacket pocket. She typed away for a few seconds. Here ya go. She said after a moment. Who's number is this? Why did they block it before calling you? She asked. That is who has Xavier. It's my father. I need to find out his location an I couldn't do that without the full phone number. Devlin said as he smiled and walked over to his phone an picked it up. Thanks so much Tia. This means a lot. To all of us. Devlin said as he sent a text with the number to a long time friend that worked with cell towers. A few minutes later he got a response. It was the coordinates to the place where his phone was pinging from. They just had to search a space of ten miles around that tower. He sent his friend a quick Thank You text and looked up at everyone. Gather everyone. We need to go now. He pulled his father's number up on text message and sent him a text. I am coming for you :) 

Ten minutes later they had gathered everyone except Aunt Lily an Derrick. They were staying behind to watch the children. Also they left Hunter behind with his daughter. Xavier had said the day before he was kidnapped that he had to regain everyone's trust back. They all thought that it would be better to leave him behind. Attica placed a spell on Hayden an Devlin's house that made it invisible to outsiders. Hayden felt better about leaving now that they were hidden. She gave Ava one last kiss an hug before heading out the door. Theia stood at the bottom of the stairs waiting on her. She had just come back from her own scouting trip. Now she was about to go right back out. Hayden added a nine millimeter to her weapons belt an grabbed a knife covered in dead man's blood as she walked to the group. Dead man's blood huh? Devlin said with a smile. Be careful with that, you know, we are vampires as well. He smirked at her. I know. It won't kill me anyway, it will just leave me immobile for a short period of time. Hayden laughed. Devlin kissed her on the temple an walked to the front of the group where Fane an Aleski stood with Dena and Amony. We need to tell everyone to go out within tens miles around this area. Devlin pointed on the map to show Fane an Aleski. EVERYONE!!! LISTEN UP! THIS IS IMPORTANT!!! Fane bellowed over the crowd. Everyone looked up at him an stopped talking. BY NOW EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE MAP ON THIER PHONES! WE NEED GROUPS OF FIVE TO TRAVEL IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS WITHIN A TEN MILE RADIUS AROUND THOSE COORDINATES! WE KNOW THAT HE IS IN A CAVE SOMEWHERE! HE IS UNCONSCIOUS!! SO WE NEED TO FIND HIM!! OKAY!!! EVERYONE READY?! Fane yelled out over them. Everyone cheered as if saying they have been ready to get their Alpha back like yesterday. OKAY THEN!!!! LET"S GO!!! Fane yelled as everyone piled into vehicles and took off.
