Chapter 35

"Theo?" I panic running into his apartment and he comes out into the hall. He's shirtless and looks like he's been crying, I've never seen him cry.

"Hey" My voice comes out so fragile as I pull him into a hug. He buries his head into the crook of my neck. His arms tighten around my waist and mine tighten around him.

"Theo" I speak softly, "what happened?" I ask, still in his embrace in the hall.

"Harvey wasn't home all day, it was just me and Lottie and I left her alone when I left to look for Harvey because I haven't even heard from him all day, I left her alone!" He runs both his hands through his hair as he rambles on. I take his hands in mine and make him look at me.

"Theo, I know it's hard but you need to take a deep breath and try to calm down" His clenched fist in my hands relax as I speak.

"When I got home she wasn't here, the living room was smashed up and now Harvey's old gang or whatever they are have her!" He yells losing his temper and flipping the coffee table in the already messy living. I wince surprised by his actions but he notices and thinks he scared me.

"Hope..I.." He stammers trying to apologise.

"Theo it's fine" I give him a sad smile and he shakes his head pulling at the roots of his hair, he's extremely frustrated and I don't know how to help.

"Lottie's missing, Harvey's missing.." He trails off pacing back and fourth.

"Theo what time did you come home at?" I ask.

"About 2am, but I left her alone at 11pm"

"And how do you know that it was Harvey's old gang who took her?" I ask hesitantly, I don't want to annoy him with questions but being the only one thinking straight right now I need all the information I can get to put the pieces together.

"Because of that" He points his hand towards a spray painted claw mark on the wall that I had failed to notice. The front door opens and closes and Theo vamp speeds into the hall. I follow behind him quickly.

"Where the hell where you!" Theo growls pushing Harvey against the wall.

"Theo what the hell get off me" Harvey pushes Theo back but Theo gets mad and chokes Harvey this time as he crushes him against the wall.

"Theo stop!" I yell pulling him off Harvey.

"Hope? What are you doing here?" Harvey looks at me confused, "What the hell is going on?" He asks waiting for an explanation.

"Lottie's missing, I went out to look for you when I got home Lottie was gone and that fucking gang of yours from England took her!" Theo yells at him. Harvey's face drops and is replaced with anger.

"Theo why the hell did you leave her alone!" Harvey shouts at him and I get in between the two of them to stop whatever fight is about to begin.

"Stop it, both of you's!" I yell to get their attention and to my surprise they relax and back away from one another, "Now" I sigh, "Lottie is gone and we need to find her, we can't do that if you two are fighting like animals"

"She's right" Harvey looks towards Theo and Theo rolls his eyes at him.

"Harvey I'll need your blood and a map of New Orleans to do a locator spell" I tell the pair and surprisingly enough their able to find a New Orleans map in their apartment. We lay the map out on the table, Harvey cuts the palm of his hand and spills his blood on to it.

I start the spell but nothing happens. I repeat the spell a few times but there's still nothing. I repeat the spell again and this time my nose bleeds.
