He regarded me calmly for a while and I was growing impatient.

Eventually, after about five minutes of him just looking at me and me growing even more impatient, he asked, "Why should I help you?"

"Well for one, you're my brother. And two, well, I don't have a second reason. You should still help me though." I replied. "Besides, you know where he is. How did you escape by the way?"

"Very carefully. I poisoned the guard's water and took his key, unlocked my cage and ran." He explained.

"How did you poison the water and why didn't you save Trevor?" I asked.

"I am able to certain things into pure poison. But I also make sure that it's colorless, odorless and tasteless so that way it looks like it's water. And I didn't save Trevor because I didn't know that you two were dating. He and I never really talked a lot, but when we did, he never mentioned you. Yes, he did mentioned having a girlfriend but I never knew who it was. But now that I know that you're his girlfriend, I wish I had saved him." He explained.

"Can you help me get him back?" I asked after I finished processing what he had said, in my mind.

"I can." He said.

"Will you?" I replied.

"I will. You're lucky I'm also a Tracker." He said and I felt/heard myself internally cheer.

"Thank you!" I cried and I felt myself throwing myself into his arms, surprising not only him but myself as well, and knocking him off the arm of the couch.

"What the hell is your problem?" He demanded, throwing me off of him.

"I don't know…." I trailed off and I stood up, brushing junk from my skirt. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry. Are you okay?" HE replied standing up.

I nodded. "I'm fine."

"Okay, good. So when do you want to leave to get him back?" He asked.

"As soon as possible." I replied.

"Well, we still have about ten hours left of darkness. Do you want to go now?" He asked and I nodded immediately.

"The sooner we get Trevor back, the better." I replied.

"Okay then we leave now. Can I have that scrap of fabric that's in your hand?" He asked and I nodded, handing it over to him. He brought it up to his nose and inhaled deeply. "Yeah, that's definitely Trevor's blood. Follow me."

He walked to the door, out of it and waited for me on the porch. I turned off the light and walked out of the house, shutting the door behind me. This time, I wasn't coming back home until I got Trevor back.

"Let's go." He said then took off running, with me running after him.

We ran in silence for the longest time but there was a question that was nagging at the back of my mind. It had started bothering me when I first saw Aaron, especially after he had said that he had no idea where our parents here. Actually, two questions were bothering me. What happened to Mom and Dad and why didn't you guys return on the day you were supposed to?

"What's wrong? You're abnormally quiet." Aaron said, breaking the silence.

"Just thinking." I muttered.

"About what?" He replied.

I sighed. 'This should be when I ask.' I thought to myself. I opened my mouth to ask the second question that had been bothering me since I had seen him. But for some reason, I couldn't ask it. So I simply shook my head and closed my mouth.

"Lily, tell me." Aaron snapped.

I sighed again. I opened my mouth and this time, the words came rushing out. "Why didn't you guys come back the day you were supposed to?"

This time, it was James who sighed. "Well Sis, that's a long story."

"We have time, don't we?" I replied.

"Not really." He replied, his voice still a sigh.

"Why?" I demanded.

"Because we're here." Aaron stopped running, which caused me to do so as well. I wasn't paying attention to where we were. But when I looked ahead of me, my heart swelled with hope, anger and pain. I saw Trevor in a cage, eyes closed, a look of pain on his handsome face and several wooden stakes protruding grotesquely from his body. But thankfully none from his chest.

"Trevor." I whispered and his dark blue eyes opened. They were glazed over in pain and hatred. But as soon as he locked eyes with me, something flared in them that I saw immediately. Hope and love.

"Get out of here." He mouthed to me and I shook my head.

"No." I said.

"Why?" He mouthed.

"Because I am here…" I ran over to his cage, faster than any of the guards could even see. I pulled out all the stakes once I got there. "To get you back and to protect you." Before the guard protecting his cage could even noticed, he had a stake in his head.

All of a sudden, a bright light turned on, blinding all of us and causing us to hiss in pain and discomfort.

"Well, well, well. How cute. The Princess has come to save the Prince." John's voice filled my head.

"Go to hell." I snarled.

"Oh honey, without you in my arms, this is hell." That was when I felt his lips touch mine.
