As soon as the text from Connor comes in on Zayn's phone, all of us are piling into the car and driving off to his and Troye's house. While Liam is behind the wheel, I pull out my phone and send a quick text to Ashton, informing him that the witch is here.

He replies, just a simple headed that way , right as we pull up to the house. Niall slides out of the car and holds the door open for me, then we make our way to the front door. Niall knocks, and Liam's hand finds its way to mine.

Troye opens the door, immediately welcoming us inside. "They're in the living room." He tells us, leading the way.

Upon entering the room, we see Connor next to a very tall, tan, dark brown haired man. "Guys, this is my friend, Rubio. Rubio, this is Harry, Liam, Niall, Zayn, and Louis." He introduces, pointing to each person as he says their name.

Everyone says their greetings, before Rubio is speaking. "You need a locator spell done, correct?"

"We do." Liam nods.

"And its to find?"

"Our baby." Niall answers this time.

"Right, right! Okay, I'm going to need blood from the mother."

"How much do you need?" I ask, pushing the sleeve of my shirt up to expose the skin on my arm.

"Just a drop will be able to do the spell, but it will be weak, not an exact location. The bigger the amount, the stronger and more precise the location." Rubio explains and, ignoring the growls my Alphas release, pulls a knife from his coat pocket and holds it out for me to take.

Liam grabs the knife before I can, and the four of them share a look. I roll my eyes. "That whole wolf-mate connection thing is really annoying when you're a human and your mates are wolves." I huff, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Sorry, love." Louis sighs. He nods his head towards Liam, and Liam grumbles something under his breath before passing me the knife.

"Be careful, please." Liam pleads, pouting down at me.

I roll my emerald eyes, but nod to please him. Pressing the blade to the skin on my forearm, I drag it across, wincing as blood begins pooling out. "Here." Rubio says, holding his hand in the air above my arm for a minute as he looks towards my Alphas. Huffing, they nod their approvals. Rubio then gently grasps my arm, making sure not to touch the wound, and pulls me over to where a map is laid out across a table. Blood drips off my arm, landing in the very center of the map. "Okay, that's plenty." Rubio says after a minute.

Immediately Niall is wrapping a towel around the cut (where he got it from, I have no idea), and applying just enough pressure to stop the bleeding. Zayn, Liam, and Louis walk up next to us. But Rubio shoos us away. "This spell will work better if I'm alone, so I can concentrate." He tells us.

Connor and Troye turn from where they've been standing next to the entrance to the hallway, and I start walking towards them, all four Alphas trailing behind me. We all walk up the stairs and into Troye's and Connor's bedroom, which coincidentally was ours when we lived here, and I sit on the bed next to Troye while the Alphas stand in different places all over the room.

"How long do you think this will take?" Liam asks, his arms crossed over his chest as he keeps stealing glances down the stairs.

"Not very long," Connor answers from his place right next to Troye.

A loud knock echoes throughout the house. Connor closes his eyes, inhales deeply, then says, "It's Ashton and his mates." to us, and "Come on in, but don't go in the living room," to the four newcomers. Vaguely I hear the front door open and close a minute later, followed by several pairs of footsteps up the stairs. Ashton, Luke, Michael, and Calum appear in the doorway.

"Why can't we go in the living room?" Michael asks, his head tilting to the side as he looks towards Connor.

"He asked to be alone while he does the spell, for better concentration." Connor explains.

"Oh." 

Ashton and Calum sit down on the bed next to Troye and I, while Luke and Michael continue to stand like the others. It's about 5 minutes later that Rubio calls for us.

All of us hurry down the stairs, back into the living room. The man ushers us closer, and points to the map. "This is where your daughter is. Whoever took her, didn't take her too far."

"Wait is that...?" Niall trails off, looking over at Liam, who's gone a bit pale.

Liam nods unsteadily, his eyes zeroed in on the place where all the blood has stopped. "That's our cabin."

"Cabin?" I jump in, my eyebrows furrowing together. "You guys have a cabin?"

"Technically you have a cabin too." Louis supplies unhelpfully, grinning widely, though it doesn't meet his eyes.

Zayn rolls his eyes at Louis, then explains further, "It's Liam's cabin really. His dad gave it to him shortly before he died. Then when Liam met us, he said the cabin was all of ours as well, including you now. But the thing is, we're the only ones who actually know about the cabin."

I wait a moment to take everything in before I speak again. "So do you guys think it's just a coincidence or?"

"That'd be one hell of a coincidence." Liam mutters, finally tearing his eyes away from the map. He reaches out and grabs me, pulling me over to him. "You stay with Troye and Ashton while we go, okay?"

"Hell no," is my immediate answer, followed by a head shake. "I'm coming with you to find my daughter." My arms cross over my chest as I take a step back from him.

"Harry," Liam sighs. "We don't know who took her. I don't want to risk anything happening to you."

"I don't care, if I'm honest. I'm going to find her, with or without you."

Liam opens his mouth, probably to argue, but Niall cuts him off. "Alright, let's head out, yeah?"

"Wait." Rubio stops us as we reach the door. "Harry, there's something else I found."

"What do you mean?" I question, frowning in confusion.

Rubio looks at everyone, his head tilted to the side in thought. His eyes land on me last, where they stay. "Your blood... has a spell tied to it."

"A spell? How the hell does he have a spell tied to his blood? You're the only witch he's met." Louis exclaims, his cerulean eyes narrowing in suspicion.

"He could have ran into one and not even known it." Rubio shrugs, not at all bothered by the Alphas, Betas, and Omega glaring at him; even Connor has his eyebrows raised. "Or like you said, he may not have even met the witch at all. Someone else could have gotten some of his blood for the witch. It doesn't take much at all."

"I think I know what spell you're talking about, but just to be sure; what spell is tied to my blood?" I ask.

"The technical term used for it is a blood spell, not very creative I know. Basically this witch got some of your blood somehow and did the spell, tying your life to someone else's. Maybe the witch's own, but I doubt it." Rubio explains, his hands waving about in the air.

A thought comes to me. "With this spell, if something's done to the person my life got tied too, would it happen to me too? Say, like, food poisoning." I ask the witch, swallowing thickly.

Rubio hums in thought, nodding a moment later.

"Well shit," Niall sighs, rubbing his forehead.

"So I didn't give you food poison after all." Louis smiles happily, throwing his arm around my shoulder.

"Congratulations, dumbass." Ashton rolls his eyes at Louis. He turns to Rubio, saying, "So can you break this spell?"

"Not without blood from Harry and the person he was linked too. My guess would be that whoever kidnapped the baby, has something to do with the witch who did this to Harry, so try and figure that out while you're getting your daughter back." Rubio tells us. With a nod, we're out the door.
