While we were walking she gave a whispered hiss They are shapeshifters... looks like something big and mean. We don't want to piss these guys off. I stopped struggling with my arms, it was just bruising my wrists anyway. They led us up to a manor, a beautiful old place I would have loved to explore if it wasn't under these circumstances, and then we were blindfolded and gagged and dragged around. I stumbled along, not able to be careful at the rate we were walking, and then I was shoved onto a flight of stairs going down. I just managed to keep my balance on the decent but I heard a thud and guessed Jade did not. We went down a passage and I heard other people crying and one brave one yell profanities at the shapeshifters, then I heard a scrape of metal on stone and a loud clang. Someone removed our blindfolds and started untying our wrists. Welcome to Redfern manor. A grim voice said and then a gasp. The lady who had untied us had seen Jade. Yeah, yeah, I'm a Redfern but I ran away OK? And I was gone for a long time too so I was not involved in anything they did. She protested.
I looked around. We were in a dungeon cell with a single metal bench on chains in the back. It was just us three in the cell, but there were two across from us and one next to us. We could see into them and noticed the one diagonal to us was empty but there were two people across from us and three next to us. They had heard of the new arrivals.
JADE! someone yelled happily.
Oh my gosh! Its Mark! No... she trailed off sadly, he was in the cell next to us. The cells were separated only by metal bars so they managed to kiss each other. It was really sweet, and they were perfect for each other. Soulmates...
So who are you? The lady asked.
My name is Sierra, they mistook me for a witch but I didn't know anything about this world until Jade told me. Don't worry, Theirry and Hannah are going to rescue us. Theirry would try, wouldn't he? He's so stubborn. Jade giggled. He's one of the oldest vampires there are. He'd been trying to be with with his soulmate Hannah for... ever. And after a long adventure he finally got her. She explained.
Homesickness hit an hour or so later. She wished things were normal again, but somehow didn't want to leave. She wanted to help fight with Circle Daybreak. When everyone had went to sleep, me and a male vampire, about 16, talked with me about the Wild Powers, explaining the importance of the four. They fell asleep holding hands and leaning against each other, or as close as they could get through bars.

They woke up to the same two jailers coming in. They threw a cup of water and stale roll in for the humans and witches here. Me, Mark, and one across from us were human. The lady and a guy next to us was a witch.
For the vampires, Jade, the boy next to us, and one across from us, they threw a small packet of blood. We eat real food too! said the vampire across from us. The jailer laughed and told him to shut up while he was alive. We all ate in silence, Jade was worried I might be offended by blood drinking but it was fine. I mean, its just like a smoothie. I was talking to that boy again that night. What's your name? I asked suddenly.
Xavier. He said cautiously. What's wrong with that? I ask, curious at his tone.
I'm not exactly here for treason. I was more on the Redfern's side. Was. He added quickly.
I was shocked, of course.
Was he still an enemy? I didn't want to think of him as one, he was... a friend now?
