Aloisa's POV:

"No... We'll let the Pack Elders deal with you 3 and this mangy mutt." Zeref continued pointing behind him at Ryker who was still refusing to phase back. "Ainsley bind 'em." He ordered as he walked over to Ryker causing him to let out a low growl; Shae and Brennen tried to bolt the second Axel said that but I tripped her before she made it to the door while Sam and Jake dealt with Brennen giving Ainsley time to use a binding spell on the two of them and Lonnie- who was nervously cowering in a corner.

"Fuck You!" Shae spat at me struggling against the ropes; Snow growled warningly in my mind but I just rolled my eyes and walked past her, I wasn't gonna stoop to her level.

I walked a few steps in front of Zeref-- much to his disapproval- and kneelt in front of Hadeon with the stuffed rabbit in hand. "You want this so bad, why not phase back and tell us what the key around its neck unlocks and I might give it to you." I bargained dangling the toy in his face before standing up and stepping back to stand next to Zeref, or rather Colby seeing as his eyes had gone from Zeref's electric blue back to their original ocean color.

Hadeon huffed in irritation and turned his back on us before using mindlink to say: 'Fine!' Then his body began to tremble I could see the bones under his fur starting to shift, hear them cracking as they rearranged themselves morphing from the skeletal structure of a wolf back into the skeletal structure of a human; the fur on his body seemed to just vanish then reappear as dirty blonde hair on his head.

He sat there his back still facing us now completely naked huddled in a ball shivering, just then Jake-- who I hadn't realized had left- came back in with an outfit in hand and tossed it to him

He quickly and silently got dressed then finally turned to face us but his gaze stayed glued to the floor. "Are you gonna explain what this key unlocks or are we gonna have to force it out of you?" Colby threatened taking a step forward, an eyebrow raised as he grabbed Luke's chin and forced him to look up directly into Colby's eyes.

Luke squirmed out of his grasp and walked towards the closet door never once taking his eyes off us as he wrenched the closet door open nearly tearing it off it's hinges before pointing inside the closet-- More specifically the floor boards- Colby scoffed at this; "You're joking right?" He asked half sarcastically as he side stepped past Luke to search the small space before turning back to him with a smug look on his face as he folded his arms across his chest "There's nothing here." Colby said sardonically

Luke rolled his eyes and leaned casually against the door frame as if waiting for something to happen "Well?" Colby questioned, obviously waiting for a similar outcome as he looked impatiently to Luke- who in turn looked expectantly at me

"What?" I asked skeptically glaring at him

"You have the key Princess." He sneered gesturing to the doorway

Sitara snarled taking control for a split second as I walked over to Colby before going silent again

Colby stepped through the doorway allowing me to search the closet for myself, I sighed and ran my hand along the back wall, then as I stepped forward to try to find a loose wall panel the floor board under my foot echoed dully; I stamped on it and it echoed again "Figures." I muttered kneeling down to pry the the floor board loose;

Spluttering and coughing as a plume of dust and dirt rose from the hallow space between the subfloor and the floor boards. Once the debris had cleared I could see a small intricately detailed gold jewelry box that was only slightly bigger than my hand with a pink crystal jeweled butterfly embossed on the top, a tiny keyhole below that was just barely visible on the center lip of the lid; I blew on it to clear any access debris that had settled inside then took the key (still attached to the stuffed rabbit) stuck it into the keyhole and slowly turned the key til I heard a click.
