Chapter 25: Waiting For Freedom

(Dyson's Pov – In front Of The Dal – 11:05 AM)

Trick stared in my eyes and I could see his answer. I snarled as I turned my eyes to the monk beside him. I couldn't understand why he was helping the Una Mens hold Kenzi and Bo but I wont allow anyone to get in my way and that included those who I pledged my life to. Lauren was stirring in her own rage of her own beside me. I could literally feel her shaking as she stood about two feet from me.

"Trick get out of the way." Lauren told him as she took a step forward. "Bo and Kenzi are in trouble."

"No." Trick stood there with a frown on his face. "The Una Mens wont hurt Kenzi or Bo. If you barge in then you all will suffer, you must wait to be summoned."

He's in the way! My wolf snapped as he lunged to the bars of his mental cage. "Get out of my way."

I snapped at Trick as I did push my way pass Trick, inside the Dal and up the little stair case that lead to the chambers the Una Mens were using as their own. I could hear foot falls behind me which could mean one of two things. Lauren followed without any trouble or the monk and or trick were coming to try and stop me. When I came to the door, I noticed that there were already two monks standing in front of it, as if that would stop me. I bared my fangs as I rushed pass them and burst into the room. First thing I noticed was that Bo and Kenzi were in separate cages which caused my hackles to rise. Secondly I noticed that the people in the room were leery of me.

Good. I thought as my eyes zeroed in one the female that smelled of the most power. "Why is my mate in a cage?"

"You both failed to comply." The female said as she tilted her head to the side. "Not to mention that you should be where she is. You did kill humans and Fae alike in the 1800s."

Images of the woman I cared about flashed through my mind. Her death, the cause of it all. A stupid pair of shoes that were poorly made as well as ugly. As soon as I slipped those shoes on her feet, she went completely crazy and killed everything in her path. She even tried to kill me but I didn't. She had impaled herself on my claws then someone shot her in the back. His face would be forever burnt into my memory. After that I took the shoes and ran, but not before I maimed the person that was after the shoes in the first place. I hide one with me while I gave the other to my friend, a fellow shifter that was nicknamed Angel.

"I think you and I both know that wasn't me." I could also remember what the man smelled like. I could also smell him in this exact room. "You were the ones after the shoes from hell."

"That is not your concern." I could see that the shoes were a touchy subject. "If you do not pay for your crime then your mate shall." She looked to Kenzi with a sadistic grin on her face.

"If you kill her then you'll be signin' yer own death warrant, Lassie." I felt my Celt wolf taking over as she spoke ill of Kenzi. "Yer were Fae once, an' ye know that ya don't threaten ones mate." I cracked my knuckles as I felt my nails growl slightly longer.

"And if we don't?" The female stepped closer to me as the other two stepped towards Kenzi. "What will you do?"

One of the males pulled out a long sword. "I'll kill ye all."

It wasn't a threat but a promise.

(Kenzi's Pov – Una Mens Cage – Dyson Threatened The Una Mens)

We need to get out of here! Nezi growled as she mentally tried to break the cage we were in. Our mate will be in trouble soon!

Don't you think I know that. I snapped back as I watched Dyson threaten the Una Mens. My eyes were locked on the 'female' as I bared my teeth. I hated not being able to do anything.

"You can not kill us." The female stated but I could sense a pause in her voice. "To do so is blasphemy. To speak ill of us along with breaking the laws in place is blasphemy. Since you believe you can take on the Una Mens then your punishment shall be the fact we shall kill every last one of those who you care for one by one until there is only you left." Her emotionless eyes turned to me. "We shall start with your mate."

She clicked her fingers and that was all it took. I could see Dyson freak as his eyes turned completely yellow and he lunged towards the female who ordered it. Lauren was able to stab two with what ever she had in the syringes. With two down, the monks in the place fled from the room leaving only three Una Mens left. Lauren was able to get Bo's cage door open before one of the males came over and grabbed Lauren by the back of her shirt, throwing her hard into the opposite wall. Bo had enough as she broke out of her cage. I knew that she would take care of Lauren but I needed to get out of this cage if I wanted to help my mate. Snarling, I grabbed the bars of the cage which singed my hands as soon as I touched them and pulled with everything I had. I even put some of my fire power into it. The heat rose in the cage, just like before when I tried, but instead of stopping when it was to hot for me, I kept going.

I could hear people calling my name but all I could think about was Dyson and him being in trouble. He was the only one I was worried about at this point in time. I knew my pups were safe. Before I knew what was happening, the cage around me was in a melted puddle of metal and I was holding the female Una Mens by her throat. I could feel Nezi growling wanting to let go but this new side of me was pissed beyond belief since she threatened not only my mate but my pups. Her eyes were wide as they stared into mine. I could see the blackness in my eyes as I stared into hers. I small grin spread across my face as I squeezed the woman's neck harder. Her hands were clawing at my arm trying to get it away. I could hear others fighting around me but I kept my focus on the woman in front of me. Never before had I felt this kind of power but I liked it. A lot!

"My mate may not kill you," I chuckled as I heard Dyson call to me. "But I sure in the hell will." I finished with a snarl and bared fangs. "NO ONE THREATENS MY PUPS OR MATE AND LIVES!"

In a flash of red, I could feel and see the fire I created engulf not only myself but the female I had a hold of. A scream was wrenched from her throat as her skin was burnt off her bones and finally there was nothing but ashes. I turned and grinned when I saw that Bo and Lauren were fighting another. I held out my hand allowing the power of fire to come out and burn the evil male to a crisp. As I turned I saw that Dyson was standing there with his hands held up in front of him as the last male of the Una Mens was dead at his feet. I then could feel whatever it was die down as the power that filled me was slowly drained from my body and soul. Whimpering I fell to the ground even Nezi didn't understand what happened. It was as if there was something odd happening. Dyson had me in his arms as Trick busted through the door with a horrid look on his face. His skin was as pale as snow and his eyes as wide as saucers.

"What have you done?" Trick asked me as his eyes landed on the remains of the Una Mens. "Now there will be a war. People will want the Origin Seed."

Bo's eyes flashed a bright blue. "They should have thought of that before they threatened Dyson and Kenzi's pups." Lauren was right beside her. "Not to mention they were going to kill Lauren as well as every one else that we were close to."

"That doesn't make it right!" Trick yelled at her as he stood in the door way. "My seed was taken and now with that seed gone and the origin seed around, someone else will try and bring them back!"

"I don't give a shit." I hissed as I felt Dyson tighten his arms around me. "Did you want them to kill me, my pups and my mate!? How about your own granddaughter? If that's the case then you can kiss my ass Trick. Because I would do it again in a heart beat!" I yelled at him from Dyson's arm. "Even if you get in my way, I'll kill you. No one threatens what is mine and gets away with it."

"Kenzi!?" Trick gasped at me as if I lost my mind.

"Try me Trickster." I said in a deadly tone. "If you are a threat to me, then you are a threat to my family."

Indeed he is. Nezi hissed knowing something I didn't but then again she knew a lot more then I did. She was a lot more perceptive then I was.

Dyson just kept his arms locked around me as he helped me out of the room and through the Dal. I could sense that Bo and Lauren were right behind us as we headed to the car. Dyson would drive us back to the club house because there was something that was bothering me. A pull that I couldn't understand. It was telling me that I was missing something and needed to find it. I wondered if Bo felt it to since her face was pinched with worry and confusion. All I knew was that I needed to figure it out before I went crazy.

(3rd Person Pov – On A Falling Apart Train – Different Dimension)

A man with a welding mask was trying to keep the death train from falling apart. His destiny told him that he needed to wait until her sister and her came back. The man knew that his love would return to him yet he couldn't help but worry.

Would they return?

Would they forget about him and leave him here to die?

The man shook his head. He knew that Kenzi and Bo would return for him because of the pulsing mark on his wrist. It was a vampire family marking. The writing was old yet he had no trouble reading it. He smiled as he thought about his sister and mate. He knew that with this marking as well as the clue's Bo left for herself, they would return to him yet he couldn't help but feel that he should stay on this train til it fell apart and he became nothing more then a lost memory.

"Giving up so soon?" A dark voice came from the shadows.

"Never." The man said as he raised the welding mask. "I know that they shall return but I fear they wont be in time." His brown eyes were narrowed as he stood.

"Good." The eery voice said once again. "Soon you will have your mate and I shall have mine."

The man cringed as the presence and voice disappeared. He couldn't help but wonder what the shadowy figure meant by that but then again without his memories, he never would remember unless he made it off this death train. His only hope was that Kenzi and Bo would return to him. He needed them to keep their promise. Until they returned he would try his damnedest to keep the train on the tracks and not fall apart. They were his only hope.

His only salvation.
