Millie tried the windows, but they wouldn't open. Checking each room and window.
"Its no use, he locked it up pretty good", Angelo said.
"Where do you keep going?", she asked.
"Sorry, Kat can only hold it for so long", he said.
She nodded.
"Help me. You know this place, please", Millie begged.
He disappeared before reappearing again.
"Basement, but once you leave Yellowstone, I can't help you", he said.
"Why?", she asked.
"Because its like I said, in your time I am dead, but in mine I'm not.", he said.
She nodded. Quickly making her way down to the basement, finding the set of other stairs, she opened the door carefully. Once she checked if anyone was around, she ran for it. How long till they noticed she was gone? Would they sense her running now? If they didn't have any permanent territory, they had no boundary lines.
Getting to a road, she looked up and down.
"Go to your right. Keep going till you get to the fork in the road, turn left. Run and don't stop running, Millie", Angelo said.
She ran.
Roman stopped and turned.
"What is it?", Colby asked.
Everyone looked at Roman.
"Millie", he said softly.
Bray sent Nikki to take Millie a plate of food for dinner. She agreed and eagerly served her.
"She's suffered long enough", Bray laughed.
Nikki made her way to the cabin and upstairs. Knocking on the door before opening it. She looked around and set the bowl down.
"Millie", she sang as she made her way to the bathroom.
Opening the door, it was empty. Nikki ran out.
"She's gone", she shouted.
Bray stood, a smile forming on his face.
"I love a good chase", he said.
He looked around at the men.
"First man to find her, gets the night with her. I guess I could share. Teach her to never run from us", Bray shouted.
The men cheered. They shifted and ran, following her scent.
Millie couldn't run anymore, her knees were still hurt and the wounds were open, the blood seeping through the white bandages. They stung, it would also be getting dark soon. She needed to find a safe place to hide. She stopped when she saw the roads divided.
"The fork", she said, while trying to catch her breath.
She went to take a step, her knees just didn't want her to continue. Then she heard a howl that sent a shiver down her spine. She looked behind her before pushing herself.
"No matter how bad it hurts", her dad's voice whispered in her ear.
"Keep going, keep fighting", she mumbled the rest.
Reaching the fork, she went the way Angelo said. Seeing a gas station, the smell would cover her scent. Reaching it, she pulled a pin out of her hair.
Thanking her grandpa for showing her how to unlock a door.
"Just don't tell your dad", his voice said, making her giggle like it did when he first showed her.
Walking in, she locked the door. Finding black pepper, opening the bottle and sprinkling some by the door and windows. She needed something that wasn't too strong and obvious that she was there.
Finding the office, she also found a first aid kit. Removing the soaked bandages and cleaning the wounds.
"Use the wipes to disinfect your cuts. Remember, humans can get infections that we can't", her mom had told her.
She wrapped them again. Sitting on the floor under the desk. Reminding herself to come back and pay the man for what she used.
"Roman", she whispered.
They followed him to his truck.
"You can't go, we have two more days", Seth reminded.
"You don't understand, she's close. I can feel it, my wolf can feel it. She's in pain and we need to get to her", Roman said.
"Trust me son, I want to go as bad as you do. That's my baby, but we need to let this day pass", Colby said, holding up the drawing.
Roman sighed. He suddenly clutched his head and the feeling of his bones shifting started up again. He screamed.
"Its Millie", Ben said.
Millie screamed, biting her lip. She had to be quiet. Flashes of Bray ripping open Roman's chest had her covering her mouth to muffle the screams. Tears streaming down her face. She watched as Bray cut off Roman's head and fed it to his wolves. He laughed as he looked at her.
The vision faded and all she could see now was underneath the desk. She swallowed. The pain causing her to pass out.
Bray waited at the fork for his wolves. The nightshift gas station attendant opening up for work. Ric noticed Bray and sent him a wave before walking into the store. Turning on the lights and looking around.
He noticed the blood and black pepper. Making his way to the office, he saw a hand poking out from under the desk. He went over and took a peek. Dry tear stains on her cheeks and blood starting to show on the white bandages.
He knew she must have been running from Bray. Grabbing boxes and filling the room around the young girl. If Bray decided to come in and check this room, he would find it piled with boxes of canned fruit, beans, and vegetables.
Making sure to cover the desk and around it completely. He walked out and grabbing the dirty bandages and throwing them away, opening a bottle of vinegar and pouring some in.
Poking a hole in the bottle to make it seem like it leaked. He grabbed the phone next.
"Hello", Aleister answered.
"Alpha, I think there's something you should see", Ric said.
Aleister was confused, but agreed to stop by before heading to Reigns territory.
Bray's men walked back over to him.
"Her scent stops here and at that gas station", Matt said.
"Lets have a word with Ric", Bray said.
The gas station was in unclaimed territory. The closest pack was Aleister's. Bray walked in and Ric looked over with a smile.
"Hey, what can I help you with?", Ric asked.
"You haven't by chance, noticed a girl. Short, dark brown hair, wavy. Brown eyes and a curvy figure.", Bray said.
"No sorry. You know I just got here, you saw me pull in.", Ric said.
Bray nodded.
"You don't mind if we have a look around, do you?", Bray asked.
"Not at all", Ric said.
Bray gestured to the guys and they left his side.
"Just be careful, wet floor by the sugar, dropped a bottle of vinegar", Ric said.
He watched as these men opened the door to the office. He continued to pull things out of the box he had to restock. They closed the office door and shook their head at Bray. He looked at Ric.
"If you see the girl, don't hesitate to howl", Bray said.
"Sure, but why is she so important to you?", Ric asked.
Bray smirked and grabbed an apple.
"She owes me", Bray said, before walking out.
Ric continued to put things away while he watched them shift and run off. He went back to the room and removed the boxes. The girl was still asleep. Taking his coat off, he covered her with it.
"You sleep tight. Nothing bad will happen to you", he whispered, turning the light off and walking back over to the register.
Colby went to check on his wife. Finding her in Millie's room, he heard her sniffle.
"It still smells of her", she cried.
He walked over and laid behind her, wrapping his arms around her and kissing the back of her head.
"If she was hurt badly, we would know it. Roman would tell us", Colby said.
Brie sat up.
"Its not about her being badly hurt right now. It's the fact that we didn't protect her hard enough. We knew she was human, we shouldn't have let Roman take her. When you beat him you shouldn't have let him keep her", she cried.
Colby sat up as she rubbed her face.
"I'm sorry, I just, I want her here", Brie cried.
He wrapped his arms around her.
"And she will be. I promise to bring you Bray Wyatt's head. I will", he said.
She met his eyes.
"You, Roman, Seth, I don't care. Just bring my daughter home and his head", Brie said.
He rested his forehead against hers.
"Have I ever broken a promise to you my love?", he asked.
She shook her head no.
"How's my last?", he asked, placing his hand against her bump.
She smiled and he listened for the baby's heart. He smiled.
"There you are", he whispered, before bending down and kissing her stomach.
Seth had gone home to check on Bayley. She was in the empty room looking around, her hand on her stomach.
"I should have seen it", he said.
She turned to look at him. Smile on her face.
"I didn't even know, it was all Millie", she said.
Seth walked over to her and kissed her.
"Sorry I've been so distracted", he said.
"Its fine, we need to get Millie back. Our baby needs her aunt", Bayley said.
Seth chuckled softly.
"We're going to get her back", he said.
She cupped his face.
"You are", she said.
Dean had stayed with Roman, not wanting to leave his friend alone.
"You don't have to stay. Go, your mate needs you. Besides, she's pregnant, you should be enjoying this time together", Roman said.
"And leave you? Nope. I'm good here, she understands", Dean replied.
Roman chuckled. The front door opened and Becky walked in. She lifted a bag.
"Brought food", she said.
Both men looked at each other. They stood to follow her to the kitchen.
"You didn't have to do this Becky", Roman said.
"Yes I did. I am Beta Female. I'm not going to let my Alpha Female down by letting her mate and mine starve to death. You both need your strength", Becky said, setting a plate in front of Roman.
"Well thank you", Roman replied.
She nodded with a smile.
