Chapter Forty-Five - Rat

THIRD PERSON

Agonizing screams filled the building once again. All they could do was listen to the other prisoners call out for mercy.

One was tied up with wolfsbane covered silver around his wrist and ankles. Sweat stained his black hair and tan skin. He was injected with a type a serum to block out any werewolf abilities.

One had his wrists and ankles bound together with heated silver, causing his skin to burn more from it. He was injected with a serum to stop any vampire abilities.

The last one was chained up and on his knees. His arms were cuffed over his head and were hanging loosely from the chains that dropped from the ceiling. His dark brown hair messily covered his forehead as they were damp from sweat. He was injected with the same serum, plus a little extra silver for torture.

They were praying that their mate was doing what she could to save them. When the door creaked open, they lifted their head tiredly and saw a group of people.

They heard laughs as the rogues walked around them, taunting as they went.

"I thought it would be hard for us to capture an Alpha, a Beta heir, and a vampire. You've outdone yourselves," that voice was familiar to them. Before they could continue, the voice spoke again, "As your reward, do whatever you want with them, but don't kill. I want Manfred to be present when we do."

The rogues bowed and the voice left. A chuckle left the lips of one, "Now, what torture shall we use?"

Before they could comprehend, the one on his knees was struck in the stomach with a wooden bat. Another hit came down on his lower back. And one more at the side of his head. He felt his shirt being ripped off and thrown to the corner of the cell.

The vampire was pulled up by his neck and they could smell the food. For the other two, it was heaven, but for this particular being, hell was the right word.

"Time for dinner," the rogue mocked as he shoved the food down his throat, causing his insides to administer burn-like pain. They knew that he couldn't digest any of it and the food would destroy his body little by little. After a plate, they threw him back on the ground and kicked his stomach, making him throw up some of the food.

The female rogues went to pull the black-haired werewolf at the side from his leg. One whispered to the other, "Remember to share some of the pleasure, sister." The female nodded and they laughed sinisterly, ready to play with their newfound toy.

***

She felt it.

She felt every single pain that was inflicted on them.

And yet, she could do nothing about it.

She was back at the Night Moon pack, going through meetings on meetings. She was getting tired, but she couldn't rest until she knew where they were.

Until they were back with her.

***

Every single supernatural leader was in multiple meetings. They reported to the Council about missing people, rogues killing when they could, and destruction on their land. There were many buildings on fire every day and they could do nothing to stop it.

"Definitely not anywhere in Africa," Lord Alas said pointing at the map, "If they were, we would've been informed about it. Africa has one of the most advanced tech."

Alpha Manfred added, "Australia's not possible too, that's where the Night Moon pack main territory is. They'd be stupid to choose there."

King Divinos used his magic to check Antarctica's current environment, "Not Antarctica. The climate there at this time is too deadly for any species."

Alpha Hunter pointed at the map, "That leaves Asia, Europe, North and South America."

Leader Carson put his finger on his chin, "Is there a chance that they'd be underwater? Because if it is, we'd open up five new possibilities."

Alpha Manfred ran a hand through her blonde hair, "I don't think they would go to that extreme. The pressure would kill them."

King Satanas said after hanging up the phone, "Sable Crown's lord caught sightings in Europe. They looked like people from a high-end group."

They sighed in disappointment. It's just sightings, nothing helpful. King Satanas' phone rang again and he went back to the corner to answer.

Alpha Hunter sighed, "They've just been toying with us. Toying with the blind spots in our eyes."

A knock on the door and someone came in. Alpha Manfred looked at the vampire, "Alice, what've you got?"

"They're in a cell," she said as she walked to the table. Alpha Manfred quickly placed a paper and a pencil and she started to sketch out what she foresaw.

It was a concrete hallway with cells along either side. Blood splatters were everywhere and a silhouette stood in the middle. The shape of it looked familiar but they couldn't pinpoint who it was.

When a thought crashed into Alpha Manfred's mind. She mind linked him, but the connection was blocked. She linked Hays instead.

Hays. – Kara

Kara, what's wrong? – Hayden

Where's Christian? – Kara

He said he left to see his mother last week. Why? What's wrong? – Hayden

Send out a search party. Find his whereabouts. He may be a spy. – Kara

Yes, Luna. – Hayden

She looked at the map again, "If someone was in this territory and left last week, how far could they have gone?"

King Divinos replied, "Never out of California on foot, but anywhere in the world with flight."

Lord Alas asked, "Have you got a clue?"

Alpha Manfred looked at them, "We may have a rat."

It's saddening to hear one of my favorite actors Chadwick Boseman had passed due to colon cancer at age 43. His most recognized work is Black Panther from Marvel and to know that I won't be able to see him on screen again, it made me stop what I was doing. But like he said in Captain America: Civil War, death is not the end. I hope their family is doing well and coping because the person who brought King T'Challa to life will always be in our hearts. #WakandaForever
