Jared POV

Something was happening to our pack. Sam was missing, Quil was taken from under our noses, and we didn't have any leads. The Cullen's agreed it couldn't be a vampire, because there was no scent around the woods. Embry and Paul were checking the woods with Edward and Emmett, and Jacob and Seth retold me how Quil had just vanished. They didn't hear him yell, there wasn't any noise. They just went outside to check on him and found his cell phone on the ground, and the same slight traces of blood.

We were all on edge. The only thing that kept us together was the small hope that they were alive. When we heard Emmett and Edward yelling towards the house we sprang into action. Seth, Jake, and I went to see what the commotion was about, and saw Edward, Paul, and Emmett reappear. Where the hell was Embry?

Edward answered. "Emmett and I haven't hunted in a while, so when we smelled a human we started running back, with Paul not far behind, and we thought Embry wasn't either. Then Embry wasn't there. His thoughts were abruptly cut off, but I don't believe he's dead. I don't know who or what could have done this without being a vampire, and got away with a werewolf, without me hearing their thoughts."

I thought about it for a minute. "Sometimes if we're injured while we're in wolf form we phase back. So maybe that's what happened, which leaves someone or something getting away with Embry before you could notice."

That was three of our pack members gone, and we didn't have a single clue on how to get them back. As I looked around and the rest of my brothers I wondered who would be next.

Kim POV

We waited for what seemed like forever. Then Leah got a call from the boys. We knew from the look on her face something else happened. Emily tensed probably wondering if it was Sam. The rest of us prayed it wasn't ours. Leah hung up and turned back to us. "Embry's gone."

We all turned to Morgan whose lip was trembling, and face paled. I grabbed her hand and squeezed gently. "Calm down Morgan you know this pack, whoever is doing this won't get away with it."

She nodded but didn't say anything. We were all scared, not only for Embry, Quil, and Sam; but for the others too. We looked at Leah like she could evaporate at anytime.

Hours later Seth, Jared, and Paul showed up; looking tired and worried. Abby, Rachel, and I tried held back on pouncing on them; mostly for Morgan, and Emily's sake. Instead they came to us, needing some sort of release from their tension. Morgan and Emily seemed to be in actual pain, and I knew I would be if Jared was one of the missing. It wasn't long before Collin's mother called asking where he was, followed by Brady's father. Two more pack members were gone without a trace.

Leah wanted to get back to Joel, but the pack refused her going anywhere alone. Seth and Paul got up to go with her, automatically sending Abby and Rachel into a worry zone. They looked at the way Emily and Morgan were terrified, and decided to stay. Jared had made a move to go but I gave him a look that said he better not dare. Leah would just have to wait to see her imprint.

She stormed off to Emily's room to sulk about it, and call Joel. As she did, the boys called Jake at the Cullen's to try and plan how they should go about finding Sam, Embry, Quil, Brady, and Collin. The best solution they could come up with was to split up and search the borders. It made them at risk for being taken, but it was their only shot at finding who was doing this.

I took Jared aside as they planned to leave. "Why do you have to go?"

"You know why Kim they are my family."

I knew this, and I understood it, and felt the same way, which was what made it so hard. I had to let him go. "I know. Please just come back to me ok?"

"I will, I always will."

I held back the tears since I knew they would just worry him. I didn't want him to be distracted at all. "I love you."

He kissed me and held me for a minute pressing his nose into my hair. "I love you Kim. Stay in the house and be safe please."

I nodded as he gave me one last look, and one last touch on my cheek, and ran out the door. Seth was pounding on Emily's door for Leah. "Jesus Seth you'll break it. Go on I'll tell her to catch up."

"Ok ok, smack her once for me, she always takes forever." I saw him kiss Abby one more time, and dash out with the others.

I opened Emily's door and wasn't entirely surprised to see Leah wasn't inside and the window open. There was a note on Emily's bed reading "Guy's I'm sorry, I'll be back soon, I just need to see Joel, and I don't want him leaving the house to come to me. I know you'll all understand. –Leah."

I huffed out a breath as I went to show the note to Emily, Abby, Morgan, and Rachel. They all didn't seem the least bit surprised either.

We all sat around waiting. There didn't seem to be much else to do, but wait, and worry.

Jared POV

We took off in separate directions, hoping to find something. Paul went North, Seth went South, Jake went West, and I went East. We figured Leah would join Seth whenever she showed up.

Leaving Kim was the hardest thing I'd ever done, apart from telling her I'd come back. It seemed like a real possibility that I might not. She had been looking so strong though, and I didn't want to crack her hopes.

A few miles into the search a smell stopped me. It was human, but something else. Almost like Nessie smelled, being a half vampire; but still different. I couldn't tell how far away it was, but I felt the others reacting to my thoughts. Then I couldn't hear Paul at all. I backtracked and made my way North to try and find him. Not Paul too, I thought. Then Seth was silenced. I stopped again, deciding to go towards Jacob to team up.

There was a loud popping sound, almost like a gunshot, and I felt numb all over. The last thing I saw before I passed out was what looked like a net being thrown over me.

Kim POV

Somehow, worried as we were, we were still able to fall asleep sometime around the wee hours of the morning. We were woken up not long after by a series of howls. We all went rushing outside, but they were too far for us to do anything. I had never felt so weak and helpless.

That is, until I saw Leah an hour later running towards the house, tears streaming down her face. The look on her face was heartbreaking. I heard the others rush forward expecting the worse, and what we got was not much better.

Leah shuddered before speaking, "They've all been taken. I couldn't get there in time, I tried but, their all gone, I didn't even see anything. My brothers are gone."

Leah looked like she wanted to fall over, and I felt like I could at any second. The only thing that kept me standing was knowing that Jared needed me, and a plan started forming in my mind.

Ok I'm exhausted from moving, so only one chapter today, but tomorrow my day is free to write then classes start Tuesday. I have one important request of my readers. Please DO NOT review your ideas of what might be happening. My reason for this is if you are right I don't want you thinking I stole your idea. I'm going in a different direction with all this, so I'm not sure anyone will guess but just in case; keep your reviews to just comments on how the chapter is. In response to one review, no the something or someone who is taking the pack members is not a real werewolf with silver bullets and changing on the full moon. That is the only clue I'll give. Another thing I will say is that one, or more characters will be dying in the next few chapters I'm afraid. I'm sorry but it's unrealistic otherwise, and it will work with the story line. Hopefully I don't lose you guys over it.
