Chapter Four

Mikhail stood in the middle of the room while everybody else stood silent around the cave.

"Silence please. Now, we have a very disturbing situation to deal with on this night. Every warrior in this room has added blood to the crystal, correct?" Mikhail asked.

"Keenan and Cole Dragonseeker have not my prince." Gregori stepped forward.

"Daddy, grandpa, may we please get this meeting going?" Ana asked.

Mikhail started the meeting, most of the unclaimed men wanted to strangle Gregori for letting his daughter come to this meeting.

"Does anybody have an idea as to where Sergey would go and Anya would never go? We need a list of places so that we can scout the area to search for her." Mikhail told the warriors.

"Sergey, would always go to this old oak tree right next to a cave but I doubt he would ever take someone else there but I doubt she would allow him to get her into that cave. It is his most secret hideout. If anything that would be the last place to take her. Nicolas and I can check it out if you wish it of us." Ivory spoke.

"You will do so within the next couple of risings."

Ana took a step forward with Cole and Keenan on either side of her. She took a deep breath and said, "The old beaten path. Anya hated going down that path when we explore. There was a cabin up on the hill, Lara, Anya, and I explored."

"Oh yeah, she told us she would never go there again. We never took her up to that cabin again. There was also the lake when she was six she almost drowned." Lara added.

"Meeting dismissed. Ivory and Nicolas go check out Sergey's old hangouts on the next rising." Mikhail said.

Cole, Keenan, and Ana were about to leave when, Keenan dropped to the ground. His face and arms were suddenly starting to drip blood from cuts and bruises appeared on his body. Cole grabbed Ana as she stepped toward to her sister's lifemate. Suddenly, she gasped holding her head in pain.

Ana! Please help me.

Anya? Hold on sis. We are trying to find you.

Ana, Keenan. He needs healed Ana. You have to heal him, please Ana for me.

Anya? Where are you at? Please Csitri, tell us where you are.

Anya's voice left their heads wishing she didn't have to. She heard Ana and Keenan pleading for her to come back to them, if only she could she though her sister would find her hopefully.

"They will never find you" Sergey hissed in her ear.

"My sister will find and destroy you even if it kills her. She will make you pay for what you have done."

Sergey laughed and dissolved to mist. Anya wanted to reach for Ana and Keenan, she knew if she did Keenan would feel her pain and she had already put him through enough of that.

Ana broke down and let the tears flow from her eyes. She wanted; no she needed her sister back. She couldn't be a lifemate she didn't know how to do this.

"You can do this Anastasia. Your sister needs you to be strong for her. Anya won't give up. She is Gregori and Savannah's daughter she is stubborn. Sergey won't get anything out of her." Lara whispered to the younger girl trying to soother her.

"Keenan, Cole, take Ana home to her house let her sleep." Nicolas told the boys while Lara helped Ana to her feet.

Keenan was going to pick Ana up and as he reached for her Cole attacked him. Ana screamed as Cole bit his brother. Lara had reached Ana before Nicolas did so she took the form of mist and the girls went to Savannah's home.

"Oh Ana, what happened?" Savannah's mother asked.

"Anya contacted her while we were at the meeting. She left Ana's mind as soon as the stupid vampires appeared. She is drained of energy they both are. Let her sleep." Lara explained before departing.
