Chapter 3

I shifted into my alert leader/fighting mod. I saw Nicole and Arianna do the same. Who ever was in this garden knew about us and probably knew about Tracy to. We had to attack them and take them to the Circle but what human could handle two witches and a hunter with killer instinct? I looked around. No footprints. I looked at Alyssa. She sniffed the air and shook her head. No smell.

Ahhhhhh

I jumped at the sound. It sounded like a scream coming from the back gate. I took off running at high vampire speed, my blood boiling with anger.

What was happening to my friends?

The screaming got louder as I approached. I slowed down to a glide and than stopped. Two black figures were standing facing me. I didn't see the girls but I could still hear them. The figures moved a step closer and I attacked. I summoned up all my energy and saw the glow of fire in my hands blazing. I aimed and throw one at them. They dogged it neatly. One came at me with a stake. They knew what I was. Raising my free hand, I raised the water in the pond and directed it toward him. He was not quick it dog it and it hit him right in the face. I smiled as the rest of the team showed up. Bailey threw herself at the closes figure. Arianna moved to my side ready to fight. Nicole moved with grace over to the other side of me. Alyssa had shifted to a wolf as well and was pulling the mask off of a figure. Walking over, I saw a scratched face of a boy with shaggy brown hair and black eyes. I put my foot on his chest.

"Who are you and where did you come from," I said in a low, threatening voice. The boy looked unsacred.

"I am not ever revealing myself to the emery," he said. I pressed harder. He groaned. "Who do you work for?"

"I will never reveal the name," cried the boy. I rolled my eyes. I was going to get it out of him eventually.

"Fine, where are my friends," I asked pressing a little harder with my foot. The boy winced at the pressure. "I don't know what you're talking about." I signed. This boy was not going to spill. I looked at the figure that Bailey was keeping down. I motion Arianna and Alyssa to hold the boy down. Then I walked over to Bailey, who was with Nicole, holding down the second one. I ripped off the mask. Long chestnut hair fell out first, than it revealed a girl with misty gray eyes. No wonder she had not attacked. She was not strong enough to fight against non humans.

"I won't hurt you if you give me the information that I want, ok. Are you clear on that," I said. The girl winced at the threat. Get used to it.

"What do you want to know," she asked, with a slight tone that said "Leave me alone" but I ignored it. The boy on the other side looked shell shocked.

"What are you doing? You can't do this1 I though I could trust you! I feel betrayed, s…" I whirled around and hit him, hard. First he looked shocked and than in pain. "Shut up," I snarled. Tuning my back on him, I looked at the girl.

"First, where are my friends; second, who are you; third, who do you work for," I said in a strong voice.

"We are spies for the rebellion. We followed Tracy-May on her date before and she said where she lived and we decided to check it out-"I stopped the girl. Tracy. Date. Before. I was going to kill her.

"Where did you see her," I demanded. The girl muttered a name of a restaurant. I took a deep breathe and motioned her to continue. She explained that the girls had not been there when she had gotten there. She also said that she saw them neat the front of the garden. I shook my head and told Nicole to check it out. I walked over to the boy, who was snarling on the ground with blood on his cheek and mouth.

"Now have we learned our lesson," I asked with fake interested. He muttered soothing unintelligent but nodded. I smiled. "Good."

I looked up at the sound of running feet. About 30 yards away, Luna, Gab, and Angle were running with Nicole. Luna's strawberry blonde hair blow in the wind and her hazel eyes contained her witch power and Angelica's brown hair was so wind blown that it was not even funny, along with her brown awed eyes. Relief washed though me as I saw them. I closed the gap between us and hugged them together.

"Where were you," I said releasing them. "I have the rest of the team out doing a search party for you." Gabs explained that they saw Tracy leave and went to follow her but heard someone coming so they want to check it out and go lost. I shook my head.

We should make a map of this place

"Get the team, guys. We are going after Tracy," I said. I looked at the two lying on the ground. "I guess we sent them to the Circle. And tell them to spar the girl," I told Luna, who began using her magic to talk to the Circle. I smiled at the girl. "I'm sorry that we tackled you." I looked at the boy "You…not so much." Looking back at the girl, I saw that she was bleeding from her arm. Moving over to her, I held my hand over her hurt arm and closed my eyes. I felt the energy run through me and into the air. I heard a gasp and than a moan. I opened my eyes to see the girl staring in amazement at her arm that had sealed up.

"I guess that no one in the rebellion can do that," I said quietly. She shook her head. "By the way I am Jasa." The girl looked up.

"I am Jada and that is Jayden, we are twins," She smiled. Standing up, Jada looked around at the garden.

"How old are you," I asked with interest. "I am 17." Jada smiled "Me too." We talked about what we were both doing in the area, careful not to reveal any important info. One by one, the rest of the team appeared, including Josina.

"Um boss, sorry to interrupt your tea time but we have to go after Tracy," Lala said impatiently. I nodded and said good bye to Jada and her "pain in the area that I don't want to mention" brother Jayden, as they walked at of the garden and jumped over the fence and were gone.

"Come on, guys. When we get Tracy we have to go back to the Circle. The rebellion knows were we are ans that is not a good thing," I said and started out of the garden.
