"And? Do you have anything yet? " I ask Ryland, one of our trackers. "No, I can't find her, but we might get some clues in town. I went there and they said that I should talk to a shop owner, an older woman, I didn't want to go without your permission." -"Town, huh? We'll go right now. I'll just report to the Alpha. David and I will be going with him. " -"Ok, Luke." He says and leaves the room. I walk up the stairs to Lysander's room but just as I want to knock at the door, I get suprised by David coming out of the room. "Oh, hi David. "I don't know what to say, Lysander locked himself in his office and hadn't let anyone in and here I see David just casually going out. He chuckles, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Hi Luke. Anything new? " -"Yes, actually, Ryland said that we have to talk to a shop owner. She lives in the small town nearby and she might know something. " I talk a bit louder so that Lysander could hear it and to my success, he does. "I just wanted to ask for your permission, Alpha. " I already move into the room when I say that. I don't like the view that is before my eyes. Lysander has bags under his eyes, which show that he didn't get any sleep in the time that the Luna was away. He still has his white shirt on, which he had on from the day she ran away. There is much more to add, but to sum it up: He looks miserable. Suddenly, Lysander stands up from his chair. "I'm going with you! " He prompts with determination in his eyes. "Alpha do you really..." -"Mine! " He growls, completely cutting me off. "Ok, so definitely no more asking. " I think to myself. "I'll be outside in a few minutes. Wait there for me!" He grumbles. -"Yes Alpha! " We say in union. Five minutes later, Lysander arrives. His hair is still wet from the shower he took. We shift and make our way to the town. When we arrive in the town, we see an old man sitting on a chair infront of a cabin. There are a few more people there but we decide on going to the old man because he looks as though he can help us. As we approach the man, I notice that people are staring at us. It doesn't take an idiot to realise that this town is deserted. "Excuse me sir, do you know an older shop owner, an older woman? " Lysander asks. The man starts laughing, but soon his laugh turns into a dry cough. "Oh boy, you will not find a single soul with that description. Don't you see that everyone in this fucking town is a goddamned fossil?" He sneers, a scowl clouding his face. Lysander mirrors his expression. "Ok old man, let me ask this differently. Do you know anyone who is in contact with Red Riding Hood? " The old man's eyes become wide. A scared, terrified look crosses his face when he heard Jane's nickname. He starts shaking. "There, just follow this street Isabelle keeps her shop at the end of it. " He points his shaking finger at the street that will hopefully lead us to 'Isabelle'. "Thank you. " Lysander says, as confused as David and I are at the sudden bipolarness. We arrive infront of the shop. It is a small, rundown one but you can not expect something different in that kind of a town. We enter the store and hear a bell when we open the door. It is really interesting, I open it again and again, always hearing the little *ding*. I see David approaching me and just before he can drag me away from the door, an older woman speaks up. "Would you please stop that. I'll be there in a second. "Lysander doesn't say anything. He is just sniffling the air. Soon David and I copy his actions and realize something. A strange smell fills the room but I can't comprehend what it is and according to the David and Lysander's expressions, they feel the same. The old woman appears with an happy expression, which turns into a frown when she sees us. "What do you need sir? " She starts walking to the reception desk but suddendly stops. Her eyes narrow and she turns her gaze to Lysander. They hold eye contact, but Isabelle drops her gaze. "You're werewolves, aren't you. " -"Yes, I'm Alpha Stelv, Alpha from Midnight Stone. This is my Beta..."- He points at me - "...and this is my 3rd in Command..." - He points at David. Isabelle nodded -"...And you?" -"I'm the Beta of Morning Grey. " Lysander seems lost in thought for a moment. I know that we are in good conditions with Morning Grey. We once helped them in a war against another pack. "I have some questions. " -"What would you want to know from me?" She looks shocked. "You know Red Riding Hood right? " Her shocked expression fades and is replaced by a dark look. "What business do you have with her? " -"I'm her mate. " That has her eyes widen again. "She is my customer, every once in a week she comes to buy some groceries. But this week, she didn't come, this is really suprising, she's never done that before, since she started coming, she came every week. Is she at the packhouse maybe?" -"No, she's not, do you know where she lives? " -"You can't find her by following her scent. In the house she's like invisible. Nana ensured that, she talked to a witch and bewitched the house. " -"How do we find her then? " Lysander asks impatiently. "I will show you the way, but the furthest I will go, will be 'till the fountain. " We arrive at the fountain, Isabelle shows us which way we should go and starts making her way back. Lysander starts walking and we are following him. We finally reach the house. It is a little cabin, surrounded by woods. I was for knocking on the door but Lysander has other thoughts. He kicks in the door and what we see shocks all of us..Jane is standing in the middle of the room, her lips molded against George's.
