Chapter 13! Loved to write it and can't wait to hear –or read idk- what you think. Soon all will be revealed.

Suddenly hands were on Mary-Lynette as she thrashed violently trying to get away. Her head was on fire, and they were doing nothing to fix it, she was going to die. She ripped her head back and forth desperate too get away and to stop the burning but the hands grabbed onto her shoulders and the top of her neck so her head would have to stay still.

"Stop it." Mary-Lynette screamed unable to move her head but he mouth was still free.

"Please stop it! Stop it!"

"Keep going, Cassandra." Lily yelled to the girl causing Mary-Lynette so much pain."She's faking it. You have to keep going, for your father."

What is she doing to me? Mary-Lynette thought loudly then screamed again. Ever thought hurt her more then the next. Why? She tried to jerk back again and nearly had done it but another pair of hands grabbed onto her hair pulling her back into place. Mary-Lynette looked up at the smiling face of Lily with a handful of her hair. "Don't move." She said with a venomous hiss that froze Mary-Lynette in place, no matter how much pain the burning caused her.

It went on for a long time. Mary-Lynette frozen in place and Cassandra wrapped up in what she was taught to do. Neither moving but making small sounds that filled the room like Mary-Lynette's shallow breathing and Cassandra's spell. Then Cassandra stepped back and pulled her hands to her sides nodding to Lily that her work was done. With out a moment's hesitation the strong men picked Mary-Lynette's now unconscious body and pulled her out of the room leaving Cassandra and Lily alone.

"You did well." Lily smiled laying a hand on Cassandra's shoulder. "Very, well."

"Does this mean that you'll tell me how to help my daddy?" Cassandra asked quietly, her brown eyes filled with hope and tears.

Lily smiled again, skillfully hiding the truth with another lie. "Of course, sweetie. I'll be in your room in a few minutes. Just wait for me there okay? I have to prepare."

"Prepare for what?" Cassandra asked as Lily pushed her out of the room.

"We're having guests over." Lily said with another sweet smile. "And they're taking Mary-Lynette back."

. . .

"He's late." Winnie said uneasily as she closed the car door and sat down next to Galen.

"They both are." Nissa said from the driver's seat of the car. It was a simple black limo that they had borrowed from Thierry and was one of the fastest cars in his garage that could fit the six –soon to be seven- of them.

"They'll be here." Rashel said leaning her head on the leather seat. "It isn't even seven yet."

"But Keller's never late." Winnie insisted looking out the window.

"There's a first time for everything." Galen said with a smile. "And there she is."

"The Limo door swung open and instantly Keller jumped into the limo landing skillfully between Galen and Rashel. "Is everybody here?"

"Almost everybody." Nissa said from the driver's seat. "We're still waiting for Ash."

Keller rolled her eyes and leaned back next to her soul mate. "Its two minutes to seven. And he knows that we will leave without him if he doesn't show up."

"We know Keller." Galen said wrapping his arms around his panther. "He will be here. I know it."

And as if on cue the limo door swung open again Ash appeared with an arm full of supplies, which he tossed onto the limo floor.

"What's all that?" Keller asked suspiciously as Ash reached into the bag and through a wooden stake to Rashel who grabbed it with her eyes closed.

"Haven't used one of these in a while." Rashel said with a smile as she ran her finger against the wood to the tip. "A little dull but I can make it work."

Winnie picked up a stake carefully and examined it closely. "Where did you get these?"She asked Ash. "They look like they were sharpened a long time ago."

"I found them under Rashel's bed." Ash said with a smile while Rashel smacked him over the head with the blunt end of the stake. "Hey!"

"Don't go in my room and that won't happen." Rashel threaten pointing the stake at Ash.

"Well where else was I supposed to find stakes?" Ash asked handing Galen and Keller each one. "You're the Cat."

"He has a point." Nissa said from the drivers seat turning around to take the limo out of the drive way. "Pass me one of those?"

Rashel picked one up and handed it to Nissa as she turned and started driving down the road.

Rashel jumped down to the bag and searched through it smiling when she finally found what she was looking for. She pulled out a long wooden sword that she had used to many times before to skewer vampire scum for years.

"What is that?' Galen asked eyeing it carefully.

"A bokken." Rashel replied carelessly sitting back against the limo seats. "My bokken to be exact." She ran her finger against the blade skillfully. "I haven't used this in a while; I guess it's time for a work out."

"How long have you been killing vampires?" Winnie asked as she laid the stake next to her.

Rashel shrugged. "Since I was a kid. It's always been a hobby of mine."

Keller smiled. "Well I'm glad you came with us tonight." Every stared at Keller in shock even Nissa who was supposed to be driving the limo. "Yes I can say good things to people." Keller stuck her hands up in defense. Nissa don't crash the car, Winnie count up all the stakes and divide them for us, Galen why don't you check the map so we all can figure out where we are exactly going."

Nissa and Winnie nodded and said "Yes boss." While Galen nodded and pulled out the map of Las Vegas Thierry had given him before they'd left.

"We need to take a left up here." Ash told Nissa before Galen put down the map.

"How do know that?" Galen asked.

"I checked out where we need to go lost night." Ash said distantly. "It's a small place. Just a shack really but there is a lot under ground."

Galen nodded and Keller shook her head. "You really want to fin d her don't you?" She whispered.

"Yes." Ash said, his eyes blazing with determination. "And I know you would do the same."

Keller nodded and the limo lapsed into a silence for the entire time they drove out into the desert except for Ash barking directions to Nissa she drove. Meanwhile none of them could realize what was going on just a few miles away.

. . .

"Have you made sure that all cameras are online?" Lily asked fiercely as she sat down in the control room, where many vampires crouched over computers staring blankly at camera views.

"Yes, Miss Lily." The large man at her right said without any expression. "They'll be here in about a half hour."

"How many?" Lily asked in a bored tone. She wasn't really as excited that she should be that Ash was visiting her to save his precious soul mate but then again this was one of the most boring parts of her plan.

"Six. Miss lily." Another man told her from the far left. "Two shape shifters, two vampires, a witch and a human."

"Not much of a threat." Lily noted mildly. "Alright, get Cassandra and Mary-Lynette out of their rooms. Send Cassandra to the main room where they'll go first and Mary-Lynette in the room next to it so I can call on her when she's needed."

"And where will you be, Miss Lily?" Asked the man on her left who was just as large as the one on her right.

"Me?" She smiled and stood flicking her black hair away from her eyes. "I'll be waiting for the show to start of course."

. . .

"Here we are." Nissa said with a frown as she turned away from the road to park the limo on the sand. "No guards on the outside, no vans, this is really strange."

Keller nodded and opened the door with a stake in her hand. "If we don't come back in an hour, come after us."

Nissa nodded and watched the rest of them pile out of the limo, out of her rear view mirror. "Be safe. She whispered as they disappeared out of her sight.

"No protection spells." Winnie said as they got closer to the little shack, alone in the desert.

"This is weird." Galen said gripping the stakes tightly. "There should at least be someone guarding this place."

Ash shook his head and pushed the door open. "This isn't strange at all. Lily knows we're here."

Rashel stopped dead in her tracks. "Then there has to be dozens of them down there, just waiting for us to come down and try to save her."

Ash and Keller nodded solemnly. Both knowing that this wasn't going to be as easy as they had thought. Keller turned to Galen, Winnie and Rashel then back to Ash, "Are we ready?"

Rashel held up her bokken and stuck it out defensively in front of her. Galen nodded and reached to squeeze Keller's hand reassuringly. Winnie nodded and Keller could already see the orange sparks waiting to be released at her finger tips. Ash just nodded once then pushed the door open slightly. It opened slowly revealing a long dark stairway down to the earth.

While the five night people made their way down to a certain trap.

. . .

"I can't take it any more!" Mark yelled punching the wall with his good hand, uncharacteristically. How could they have just left to save his sister and just leave him to stand around and wait? Well they had and Mark was absolutely furious about it.

"Breaking the wall isn't going to fix it Mark." Jade said pulling his arm back and clutching his hand tightly. "They're going to find her, so please be patient."

Mark sighed and sat down onto a white couch that was in Jade's room. He knew he shouldn't take his anger out on the wall or on anyone else for that matter. But he knew that there had to be something he could do.

"There is nothing we can do, Mark." Jade said patting his hand affectionately. "Mary-Lynette wouldn't want you to get hurt anyway. I don't want you to hurt yourself either." She kissed his mouth softly and he finally melted the cold wall of anger and kissed her back softly.

Both of them knew that there was no way that they could have done anything since the special team had already left an hour ago. So now all they could do is wait for them to return back with Mary-Lynette, safe and sound.

A loud knock at the door made both of them pull away in a daze and stare at each other Jade from on her feet, Mark from his seat on the couch. Someone knocked again and Mark nodded to Jade who sat back down next to him and replied to the knocker, "Come in."

In an instant Lupe appeared with a pair of keys in hand and five or six stakes in the other. "Who wants to go for a little vampire killing joy ride?"

Of course Lupe as to disobey orders and go after Lily, to save Mary-Lynette. But obviously she's not going to do it alone. Review?
