Chapter 22
Iden's POV.

I stared at the grey ceiling in my bedroom.Peter hadn't came home and Helena took his bed,making sure to put a pillow and a blanket for him on the floor.I,being my old self,was worried out of my mind for Peter.

What if Luke killed him?Max wouldn't let that happen,would she?

No,I shook my head and started messing with a string off my own blanket.

"Helena?"I whispered out into the darkness of my room.

"Yes?"Helena replied.I saw an outline of a figure sit up.

"You can't sleep either?"I asked.

I saw hair fly side to side as she shook her head,"No.I can't stop worrying about Peter."

"Me either.What if he's been captured?"I clutched my blanket tighter as I imagined Peter in a cell,no blanket,no food,water dripping from a hole,rats running around,and I was warm in bed.I wanted to slap myself.

"Let's go,"I said sternly and got up.

"Wait,what?Now?Rocker,it's still dark outside,"Helena complained.

"Then we bring flashlights,"I said,slipping on a white,v-neck with jeans and converse,"Are you coming or not?"

She sighed and got up,"If I die I'll haunt you forever."

"Ok,I know how to ward you off."

"Shoot."

After a few minutes,Helena was dressed and my hair was up.I picked up a backpack I had packed with weapons to kill a werewolf.If Luke had done something to Peter,I wouldn't hesitate,but what about Max?I shook it away and started to tip toe through the halls.

Helena quietly closed the door and flicked on her flashlight.

"Turn it off,"I whispered.

"Why?"

"We can't waste battery.We can see the shapes of the objects.We're fine,"I said opening the door that led out.

Crickets rang through the night,giving me a sense of comfort.

"Come on,"I started to walk and pulled out my phone.I had gotten Max's number.Hitting call,I turned on the flashlight.

On the third ring she picked up.

"H...hello?"a sleepy Max said through the phone.

"Hey,Max,where do you live?"

"Why?"she asked slowly.

"Peter hasn't come home."

"Here!"she started saying her address quickly.

"Ok,thank you.And go check on Luke."

"Got it.See you in a few,"she hung up.

"Let's go,"I started to run down the road toward Max's house.

*after half an hour*

We reached the address and I walked to a window.Looking in,I saw Luke and some girl in bed.Yuck!We're not teenagers,but I guess this is the normal these days.

I went to the next window and saw Max.Lifting the window,I jumped in softly,Helena following behind.

"Max,"I whispered,"Hey,Max!"

"Hu...huh?"she woke up and looked at me,"Oh hey!I checked on Luke-"

"I know.We saw.Ok,do you guys have a dungeon?"

She bit her lip,"I don't know,but if we did have one it'd be in the basement."

"Ok,thanks.Come on,"I led them out into the hall.Snores were heard behind every door,2 behind Luke's.

We turned a corner that Max said led to the basement and saw 2 boys guarding.

"I got this,"Max walked out,"Hey,guys,did we get a prisoner?"

They nodded,"His name is Peter.Friends with a hunter girl."

"Oh,"I heard a grunt,"I wouldn't have guessed.Ok,guys,come out."

We walked out to 2 boys on the floor and Max unlocking the basement door.It screamed open and my stomach did kart wheels.

We walked down the steps slowly.I saw rats and almost ran down.

"Who is that?"a familiar voice asked as chains scraped the floor as he got up.

"Peter?"I asked.

"Iden?"he called.

I ran down and saw Peter.He had a black eye and blood and bruises all over him.All he had on was sweatpants and I could see the bruises where they had kicked him.

"Oh,my God,Peter!"I ran up to him and hugged him tightly.

He grunted and I started to back up when he grabbed me and hugged me back.

"Why'd you come?"he asked,weakly.

"Why wouldn't I?"I asked.

"Today I treated you like crap and shunned you.I...I should have went with you,"he sighed,"I probably wouldn't be in this mess if I had."

I looked him in the eyes and did the unthinkable: I kissed him.

It took us both by surprise,but he didn't resist.

"Awww!"Helena was squealing,"I ship it!Piden!Iter!Which should it be?"

"Shut up,"I said,pulling away.

Max was there smiling at me.I returned it and mouthed a thank you.She acknowledged me by nodding her head.

"Let's get out before the guards wake up,"Helena said,still smiling like an idiot at what she just witnessed.

We crept up the stairs and Max opened the door.She turned around and nodded.

"We're clear."

We all tip toed through the hall.Max's room came into sight when we heard a voice.

"I'm gonna get something to eat,"It was Luke.

Max swore.She pushed up and started to run to her room,leaving us squatting in the hall.

Max's POV.

"Shit!"I swore and ran to my room.Then I remembered: They weren't slick like a werewolf.

"Double shit!"I ran back and led them to my room.Peter was about to crawl into my room when I heard footsteps and shouting.Luke.

He kicked Peter in the ribs.Iden screamed and ran over to him,holding a knife.

"You peice of dirt!"she spat.

Luke grabbed her wrist and pulled her close.She gasped and thrashed around in his grasp.

Iden's POV.

"You peice of dirt!"I spat and ran at Luke with a knife.

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me close,his breath in my ear.I gasped and thrashed in his grasp.Peter was at our feet and looked up at Luke pleadingly.

He turned me around and kicked Peter away.

Helena looked fierce,far from the girl squealing when Peter and I kissed.

"Now,"Luke said,leaning closer to me,"You all will leave.Take the kid,but Iden is staying with me,"he breathed in my scent.I squirmed and tears came to my eyes.

Peter locked eyes with me.Emotions took over me,so many....sadness,regret,fear,happiness,surprise,love....

Luke motioned them out,"Oh,and, little sis,you're confined to Zachary."

"What!"she looked furious.

"You betrayed us.I have to.Sorry,sis.Now leave."

Helena and Peter looked at me and I nodded.They crawled out the window and into the night,leaving me with Luke.
