Still haven't seen Caty since the argument. There's been mass murders in several towns. My parents fear its been vampires. But I think other wise. I've read Caty's thoughts everyday. She has an odd memory off me hurting her, and saying things I didn't say. And she craves killing now. I don't know what I did to cause this. I don't know how I did. But she's now wanted. And I mean on the wanted posters. I see James walking up to the castle. His face cold but in there I see sympathy. A recently added memory of Caty's is James looking raged and cold. That's not James. There's always, no matter what a hint of sympathy. Someone's clouding Caty's memories and eyes. "Update now." I command. "Good news and bad news. Good news, she's killed 20 villains. All the way from murders to assassin's, and robbers to psychopaths. Bad news, she's acting like a cold blooded murderer. This isn't her Grace. And fear for not only her, but all of us. I tried catching her to bring her back, but she only ran." He updates me. How long is the villain thing gonna go on though? The fact that she could kill innocent people is unnerving. "Good try James. Now go home." My mother says walking up behind me, placing her gentle hands on my shoulders. "Thank you, my queen." James says grinning and bowing. Before he stands he kneels in front of me. "Don't go after her princes. She's scared, alone, and dangerous." He says gently, his smile was gone, but he still looked very worried. Not just for me. Not just for Caty. But for Kate. He knows Caty envys Kate. He understands, but he fears Caty could break and possibly kill Kate. As much as I hate to admit it, he's right. And that's why I head out tonight. "I won't." I say convincingly and smiling sympathetically. He smiles weakly and stands. Nodding once more to my mother before walking out. I sigh. "We'll find her Grace. Give them time." She says gently while guiding me into the kitchen for dinner.
I got out a bookbag from my closet and began packing. Water? Check. Fruit? Check. Flashlight? Don't need it. Power deactivation device? Check. I open my window seeing the guards below. If I cause a simple distraction they'll fall for it. I pull a mask over my face before hiding in the shadows and throwing an Apple. Landing on the ground with a thump, I make a break for the gate running as fast as I could. I hear the howls of warnings coming from behind me. The sound of paws hitting the ground rapidly. No turning back now. I follow James's scent to the cave then I smell Caty's scent. I chase after Caty's scent, it getting stronger as I see a cave in the distance. I slow down from my vampire speed as I approach the cave. The rotten but sweet smell of blood fills my senses again. I find Caty laying on the ground with a few deep wounds on her arms and legs but besides that looking normal. Looking. The inside of her brain is almost painful to look at. So many thoughts dancing around but none actually making sense. Like she's looking for something of reality. Someone's controlling her, giving her this idea that killing is good. Well, time to change that. Nothing a few sleeping spells and x-rays to the brain wont fix. I walk. Over swiftly picking her head up but placing my hand over her mouth so she doesn't scream, then say a few things in her ear and her bodies immediately limp. I place the shackles around her hands and feet before putting a shift bracelet on her wrist and turning her to a small black cat and I put her in my backpack. I leave it slightly open so she has air inside before starting my journey back.
I place Caty gently on the X-ray table, turning her back to regular caty. If there's one doctor I trust, it's Dr. Stanley. He was the nicest to my family. I called him when I got to the hospital and he agreed to come and run an X-ray for Caty. I go behind the glass as he runs the x-ray and it's only a few minutes before we get the pictures of what's wrong. "See this here? That's a chip in the brain." He explains. I look at him odd. Chip? He must be going crazy. "What's a chip doing in her brain?" I ask. "Not that type of chip. A technological chip. It's being used to control her and blend thoughts into hers. A simple surgery could fix that. And since this is a friend of the princes ill do it for free." He says kingly as he smiles down at me. I smile widely and hug his waist. "Thank you so much Stane!" I say. "No problem. Now. Hurry off to bed before you get caught. She'll be in the safe room when you come back." He says shooeing me out. The safe room is a room where the patients can't hurt themselves. Pretty cool if you ask me. I climb the pillars to my bedroom window launching myself skillfully into my room. I change into a silky blue nightgown and climb under the covers feeling exhausted. Wasn't exactly a thrilling adventure. It makes me wonder what evil thing fate has for me next. Because there's no way that could've been that easy. But right now, I need to focus on baby sitting Kate tomorrow. I feel myself start to drift and I hug my plush tiger closer as the darkness consumes me.
Kills POV
I hear voices and whispers hissing around my head. My heart pounding in my chest as fear floods every nerve, freezing me in place. I try to speak but nothing comes out, like nothing can be heard over the darkness. "Gabe?" I finally manage to whimper. "What?" He groans. "Do you hear that?" I say trying my best not to stumble over my words. "It's just the wind outside. Go back to sleep kill." He mumbles above me since we're in bunk beds. I try to calm my thumping heart and decide to go get a drink. I hesitantly throw my legs over the side of the bed and stand. All of a sudden I feel hands grasp my ankles yanking me under the bed. I scream and kick at whatever was grabbing at my feet. My heart pounding and my lungs burning for air. My door opens and the light flips on and I'm suddenly sitting in the middle of my room hugging my knees and rocking back and forth. I feel mom's gentle hand on my back asking me what's wrong but I'm to in dazed to answer. My eyes making out what I just saw. It was like a demon itself but I know it wasn't. It was pure darkness. I finally lift my head to see Kate's adorable face next to mom. Looking a bit worried as she pouts her bottom lip. I pick her from mom and place her I. My lap, tickling her and relaxing at her giggles. She was always so adorable even when crying. I guess it's a werewolf thing. I stop tickling her and place a kiss on her cheek before handing her back to mom. She wines a bit but accepts her fate and just lays her head on mom's shoulder. "What happened?" I hear my dad's soft voice. It may sound stupid but I fear looking up at him. He was the top of the guard and I technically have the rank of an omega. The lowest rank. I got the speed and strength of a alpha, but my mind works in way a wolf's doesn't. Mom says it's a gift and dad accepts me for who I am but I can't help but feel like I've let him down. "He just had a nightmare." I hear Gabe say, but deep in His voice is worry and sympathy. Gabe was the one who didn't show much emotion, he's not emotionless, just doesn't show it much. "Gabe I asked your brother. Not you." Dad growls slightly. He was tougher on him Then me because her expects more from him. "It was just a nightmare." I mutter keeping my head down. I couldn't tell him I actually screamed and panicked in the face of danger. Best thing to do if your in danger is to stay calm, so you can think and control your movements in order to defend yourself. I didn't do that. At all. "It's alright kill. You ok to go back to bed? Or would you like to go for a run?" My mom asks. "I'm good." I say standing. "Alright. Goodnight love you." She says hugging me tightly. As she pulls away Kate reaches out her hands clawing the air to get to me. Mom hands her over gently and I take her with care allowing her to wrap her arms around my neck and lay her head on my shoulder. I rub her back lightly before pulling her away from me, knowing she had to go to bed at some point. I hand her back to mom before go I g and hugging.g dad and climbing into bed. "Goodnight guys." Mom says before turning off the lights and closing the door. "You heard the voices to?" I hear Gabe ask. I stay silent trembling in fear that I wasn't the only one. I hear Gabe gulp, probably shoving down the lump of fear in his throat.
