hey guys lots of things are being revealed in this chapter, just a heads up I decided to make a bigger deal of the whole wolfsbane thing since in the shows its just used to cover someones scent but in this chapter its highly dangerous to blutbaden. If anyone watched Teen Wolf then its kinda like the wolfsbane in that and kinda has the same effect since I didn't want to do anything to bad that might affect the baby and make it overly complicated. As always let me know what you think by reviewing/following/favouriting or by sending me a pm. You can also see Mia's outfits via the link on profile, its named after the story and feel free to follow/ comment or send me on pm on Polyvore

chapter 4: dead sea

While Mia was being held against her will in the back of the black suv van she had tried to observe as much as she could such as if she could hear any traffic, how many right and left turns they had taken to work out where they were going until she eventually realised that if you were going to kidnap someone then you weren't going to taken to highly populated place with their screams could be overheard. Eventually the van doors were thrown open as someone placed a bag over her head and lead her into a room where they took off the bag and gave her privacy to change out of her clothes and into simple dress that they had given. It was a black dress that was wrinkled and scrunched up from her chest down wards which meant it was loose fitting which told her that they knew she was pregnant but not sure how big she was, meaning that they hadn't been watching her as closely or as recently as she would have thought before. She took the hair tie that was on her wrist and began to create one big french braid down her back in case she had to fight, although some of her hair had began to fall out of its braid already. Before the men came back she noticed that her head was bleeding slightly where her kidnapper had knocked her when he tried to grab her, the men placed the bag back on her head to prevent her from knowing how to get out as they lead on down stone stairs and into what could only be described as a room in a dungeon. They made sure that Mia was chained to the wall before they left by making sure that the shackle around her ankle was tight and was securely attached to the chains to ensure that she couldn't break loose. As soon as they left Mia began to pull at the chains on the wall in hopes that they would snap sooner or later, she even tried woging since she was strongest when she was using her full blutbaden abilities. She could feel the chain beginning to strain and stretch from her effort which mean that it wouldn't be much longer until they gave up and broke apart, however Mia's ankle was beginning to bruise and bleed from the amount of damage she was doing to it in her effort to break loose. Mia was so invested and focused in her escape attempt that she hadn't notice that someone had unlocked her door and had walked into her room to stand in front of her as they watched her try to break the chains until she heard a low and familiar laugh

" Its funny I know you better than I though I did, my little Hexenbiest friend had placed an enchantment on those to make them unbreakable. I figured the first thing that you would try to do is break out of here" the man with low laugh said as his voice caused shrivers down Mia's spin as she slowly turned around to see if it was who she thought it was as she saw the one man that had been haunting her dreams since Monroe and Rosalee's wedding

" Alexander…. I should have known it was you, I mean only you would go to these lengths and dramatics to get a woman and a pregnant one that…were the single and unattached women too boring for you?" she asked standing up as she tried to act fearless and unemotional as she always pretended to be, she realised in that moment that she was going to need to become the person the council had created to survive this and to survive them

"just when I think thats no more Emmy inside of you she pops back up and trust me I wish you weren't having his kid but I guess you only have yourself to blame for that one huh?" he said in a bitter tone as she realised that he thought this was what she deserved for being involved with a grim, she could also recognise a touch of the green eyed monster that she was having someone else's child

"Emmy was young and naive since she actually thought that you were decent guy but hey I guess its a good thing that she got older and wiser. the boy I knew back then would have never beaten up an old man especially one he respected as much as you did but I guess he grew up too and became cruel" she said trying to affect the side of him that was becoming a nostalgic for the times they had spent as teenager together, she knew that was a soft spot for him since he still craved for the girl she had once been

" yeah he grew up to realise that women like you need to be show who's in charge for you to learn not to cross your man, I mean clearly the Grimm lets you away with a lot. De Groot was right about you needing to be tamed" he said in a deadly tone that made her think that he was meaning more than what De Groot had in mind for her, she imagined that his way of taming her hurt a lot more and was more like the way you break in a new horse

" tamed? you realise that I wont you lay so much as a finger on me without fighting back and we both know who would win that fight right? I guess Mia and Emmy finally have something in common after all…. They're both fighters!" she said almost falling over as the chains pulled at her ankle as they stopped her from getting any closer to him, she knew she shouldn't be encouraging him or even trying to make him more angry but she couldn't help it. It was like the flight or fight trigger had broken and now all she could do was fight

" oh Emmy, I don't need to touch you to get in your head and break into submission. We're wesen which means we have no ways then one to get in your head but I promise you have all that too look forward too, first we have the slight issue of that baby of yours" he said pointing to her 4 month baby bump as she placed her hand over it protectively as she took a step back and her most deadly glare as her eyes began to change to blutbaden red

"you and your royal buddies are the only ones to think that this baby is an issue but in case you're not picking up on the mother like protectiveness that I'm showing here I want to something very clear. I will happily break my no killing rule for you and anyone else involved in whatever you're planning, I will watch your bodies burn while you scream in pain" she said in a deadly tone with a glare to match, she could tell that he was beginning to fear her a little since his heart rate began to speed up slightly and she could the beads of sweat on his forward begin to form

"oh I almost forgot the reason I came down here I come bearing gifts, figured you need them right about now" he said leaving the room for a moment before coming back with a plate with some bread on it and a bottle of water, however rather than taking it from him Mia walked towards the far corner and sat down as she simple stared at him as he placed the items on the floor before leaving the room

Mia closed her eyes as she tried to escape her reality as she began to her hushed voices coming from somewhere in the halls where she was, she looked up at the door to see that Alexander had been so freaked out by her threats that he had forgotten to lock her door back up. Although she couldn't get escape she decided to get as close to the door as possible so that she could make out what the voices where saying to try find out more about her situation.

"this doesn't change anything, we knew that she was going to fight back like this and right now all her words are just that words… they're empty threats ok? she's the one chained up like an animal not you, don't let her get in your head" said a younger male voice, Mia detected that the voice had an english accent attached to it which probably meant whoever it was part of the royals or had a royal connection somewhere

" so we go ahead with what we planned because if so then we need to do it soon so that it had time to properly take affect, once its implemented it shouldn't be long before we get the desired results" said a female voice that sounded as though it should be familiar to Mia but she wasn't sure how or who the person behind the voice was, however she did know that it sounded harder and colder than she remembered

" I assume you everything you need? ok then what about the grimm and her little wesen army? they'll be looking for her" Alexander said trying to calm himself down, he was the only one of the three of them that actually knew what Mia was capable of it and he knew that she was serious about killing him and the others

" well I'm still a fan of sending Nick her head in a box or better than that sending her back to him piece by piece" the female said in a way that made Mia think that her reason for getting involved was less to do with her and more to do with Nick, she assumed he had something to annoy her but there was too possible names to list

" we agreed on doing things this way because it got us what we wanted… you got the child, you got you revenge on the grimm and I got mine with Emmy!"Alexander warning her not to go back on their agreement, Mia placed a hand on abdomen where her baby was as she silently promised to keep it self even if it meant giving up her own life for them now that she knew what they wanted

"I'm sure the grimm and his friends will stop their search if we simply make them believe that she is dead and I'm sure that's a simple task for someone as powerful as you my dear" the young male said as he kissed the female's hand, Mia didn't know what was worse the fact that they discussing how to fake her death or the fact that he felt that was perfect moment and mood to flirt with someone as she heard footsteps getting further and further away from where she was


After that Mia returned to her spot in the corner as she refused to eat or drink in case they had something to them as a way of attacking her, however she should have known that they weren't going to give such an easy way out of their traps and attacks as the air vents where switched on. Soon the whole room was filled with this toxic air that began to make her feel groggy and sleepy as she covered her mouth and nose with the sleeve of her dress to prevent it from affect her any further, however it was harder to escape whatever it was since it was everywhere and her small room provided little hiding places from the air. Mia began to slip in and out of consciousness as her subconscious began to take over as she saw flashes of all the people she wanted to see again, after a while Mia was beginning to find it hard to tell what was real and what wasn't as she began to see Nick and Monroe in the room with her telling her to keep fighting to discover it was all in her head as she tried to reach for was another thing that was beginning to slip away from Mia, she had now idea how long she had been in the room filled with the poisonousness air or how long was it since she had seen any of her captors but to her it felt like it had been days. Eventually the air returned to normal, however by then Mia had breathed enough of it in that it no longer matter that the toxic air was away which was how she almost the door being opened to reveal Alexander with a medical kit, this time Mia didn't have the strength to get up to face him so she simply stayed on the floor as he crotched down beside her

" Emmy, all of this could have been prevented if you had just at the council with me or if you left that grimm and joined me months of go like I wanted" he said sweeping the hair out of her eyes as he placed it behind her ear then began to stroke her hair till she built up enough strength to slap his hand away, Alexander could feel and see that she had developed a fever due to what they had done to her air supply

"you know whats worse than having the air around being poisoned? now its a toss up between being touched by you or hearing you talk!" she said weakly but with as much force as she could muster up as she gave him a chuckle, she was pretty sure that by this point she was probably becoming delirious from whatever it was they had put in the air. All of a sudden she was pulled out of her drug like state as she felt a sharp pain on her chin as her mouth filled with the taste of blood as Alexander pulled his fist back to deliver another blow

"I'm going to chalk that up to the wolfsbane that we've drugged you with because I know that you would talk to me like that and if you do…well lets hope that cut on your month serves as a reminder" he said giving her a glare as she spat the blood out that was slowly filling her mouth, although she felt like she should thank him for telling her what they had done to her and for somewhat making her more alert

"can you do me and just do what it is you came here to do before I get bored and decided to claw out your eyes?" she said refusing to back down, she knew that if Nick was there then he would have told her to stop being stubborn and then praise her for not letting the bad guys win

" why do you always have to make things so much harder Emmy? we could have done this nice and easy but no you hamlet that big mouth of yours get in the way!" he said as he roughly grabbed her arm as he began to use the medical kit to draw blood from her arm, although he was deliberately doing it in a way that would cause her more pain

" you should know by now that I don't do things the easy way and seriously why not just slice the vain open I mean it would have hurt less and you'd get more blood" she said pointedly as he slapped a band aid onto her needle puncture before packing everything including the small vial of blood that he had taken from her away, she briefly wondered if it had anything to do with their plan to make the others think she was dead

"we don't need that much from you, our resident Hexenbiest has a few tricks up her sleeves" he said as he slammed the door behind him and this time made sure that it was closed without a second glance at her, Mia knew that whatever they were planning their Hexenbiest needed her blood for it which always lead to nothing good


This sudden realisation seemed to sparks Mia's rebellious side as she returned to her original plan of trying to break the chains until she remembered what Alexander had said about them being unbreakable as she began to wonder if that applied to the shackle around her ankle too as she decided to grab the plate that was still laying on the floor with the untouched bread. Mia pulled her ankle close to her as she began to bang the plate against the shackle in hopes that the friction between the two would cause the shackle to open, despite the fact that her attempts kept failing she could feel that the shackle was beginning to loosen so she decided to use her blutbaden strength to pull it apart. Eventually Mia managed to break the shackle apart as she stared at it in disbelief and began to rub her raw bloody ankle, she turned to the door which was now her next problem to solve as she tried to think of something to unlock the door as she decided that the fastest way to do it was just to try and kick the door open. Since the door was fairly old it only took a few good kicks to the door till it the door threw open as she tried to hurry down the hallway before anyone spotted her as she tried to ignore the pain in her feet that was being caused by the stone floor and her lack of footwear. Suddenly her path was being block by the one person Mia had least expected to see or to be in league with the royal and Alexander.

" you know this was never my plan, I wanted to something far more direct but I was out numbered by the boys since Alexander wanted to kill you himself and Kenneth wants that little spawn in there" Juliette said pointing to where her baby was as Mia placed a protective hand over it as she gave her a stone cold glare as she tried to find any trace of the woman that Nick had once loved but came up empty

"you're the Hexenbiest? the human who chose to be a Hexenbiest…why?" Mia asked trying to clear the fogginess still in her head from the wolfsbane that she was drugged with as she tried to think of reasons why Juliette would hate Nick so much that she was willing to change everything about herself in order to get revenge on him and Mia

"why? After everything I have done for Nick and after everything we've been through together, he just drops me like a sack of potatoes to be with you and on top of that you turn out to be the ever thing that he is meant to kill" she said taking a step closer to Mia as she tried to follow her logic that seemed flawed to her but then again Mia was having trouble thinking clearly or even standing up as she began to sway and held onto the wall next to her for support

" so you decide to become something worse then blutbaden? there seems to be a very big flaw that plan of yours to woo him back to you, Nick is meant to kill Hexenbiest too and right now you are giving him more than enough reason to so whats to stop him from killing your crazy ass?" Mia said trying to keep her talking in the hopes that she might begin to feel the affects of the wolfsbane were off enough for her to attack Juliette and end this but so far she was having no such luck

"who says Nick can kill me? I'm strong, stronger than humans and stronger than most wesen so I'm guessing one little grimm won't be any for me. I mean I could probably kill a blutbaden without wolfsbane in her system but hey whats the fun in that?" she said as she woged in her Hexenbiest decayed look as she began to make a move against Mia who was now woged too as she managed to block her attacks till Juliette managed to grab a hold of Mia's dress. Mia took the opportunity of being so close to her to head butt her in the forehead causing them both to fall to the ground

" trust me when I say if Nick can't you then someone else will but either way your dead woman walking got it?" Mia said as she punched Juliette with such force that it knocked her out as Mia began to hear footsteps getting closer as she prepared for another attack since she thought that one of Juliette's little buddies must have heard their fight in he hallway. However she was pleasantly surprise and shocked as she looked up to see the last person would have thought to come and rescue her

" there you are, I was worried that I didn't get here in time…I see you've been just as busy as I have, come on we should go before one of them wakes up" Kelly said glancing Juliette's unconscious body before grabbing her hand as she tried to lead back the way she came since she knew that was clear since she had disposed of everyone that had got in her way, however they didn't that far as Mia stopped walking to hold on to the wall in pain

" ahhh…wait something's wrong…my head… its hurts like a lot!….it has to be the wolfsbane" she said struggling to get words out due to the pain as one hand held onto the wall and the other holding her head as she tried to work out what was going on with her while trying to keep going until she fell to the ground screaming in pain as Kelly ran back to her, glad there was no one left to hear her or to find where they were

" they poisoned you with wolfsbane?….oh god we need to get you to a hospital quick, Mia I need you to put your around me and try your hardest to stay awake for me ok?" she said as she put her around her as she held Mia up as they went the way that Kelly had came in so that they could get to the car that Kelly had previously stole in order to get to where Mia was being kept

" who would have thought that the almighty wesen slayer Kelly Burkhardt going out of her way to save a blutbaden girl from being held captive and poisoned?" she said in an attempt to make a joke as she weakly gave a small laugh while Kelly placed her into the car making sure Mia was safe and secure in the passenger seat before getting into the drivers seat as they began to speed away

" well I came back from the dead just to save my son so I figured that I might as well come out of hiding to save my future daughter-in-law and grandchild…Mia you need to stay awake for me remember?!" she said as she watched as Mia began to get more and more tired till she eventually gave in as she leaned her head against the cool window, Mia could feel her eyelids getting heavier by the minute as she tried to fight the sudden tiredness

" I know I'm trying but I'm just so tired…. tell Nick that I lo…." she said before closing her eyes and giving in to the sleep that was calling on her as Kelly turned to see that the young girl was now unconscious as she pressed her hand against her forehead to find that she had a slight temperature, Kelly grabbed her phone of her pocket as she began to call her son's phone. She took a moment to really look at her son's true love and noticed that she was completely different to strong spirited woman she met months ago, she was paler than before and much dirty since she had no shoes on

"Nick, its me…yeah I know about Mia which why I did what I did, I knew I could trust him and that Adalind trusted him…. Nick will you shut up and let me talk! I found Mia but she's in a bad way ok? she's been poisoned by wolfsbane, I need you to meet at the hospital" she said as fast as she could while praying that she wouldn't be caught for speeding as she pushed the car to go its fast in order to get the hospital in time to save them both
