Garrus's POV

By the time Cypher had been found Leena was already gone. We all knew Saren had her but the problem was where. Even the link Cypher shared with the black panther shifter couldn't be used due to the drug still being in the Metal Dragon's system.

Shepard had me sit out on the mission in Noveria since I was upset and he made the right choice. Instead, he took Liara and Wrex. On the icy planet, the three of them crossed paths with Matriarch Benezia. A battle took place and it took some time for the group to defeat the Asari. Before dying Benezia had been lucid enough to tell them what was going on and handed over some information as well as explaining that she and Saren were in the process of being indoctrinated.

Also, Benezia told Liara she was proud of her before the Matriarch died. At the moment I was in the cabin Leena frequented when she was on the Normandy. Cypher slept in my lap and all I could think about was Leena and her safety. The door to the cabin opened and Shepard came in.

"How's the little guy?" he asked nodding at the sleeping Cypher.

"Still sleeping the drug off" I replied. "I take it you have some news?"

"Yeah we're heading to Virmire it looks like Saren's there and Leena is probably with him, you're coming with me"

"Good because I personally need to put a bullet in that bastard's head for taking the woman I love"

The human male came over to me and placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder.

"We're gonna get her back"

Cypher chose that moment to wake up and after shaking his groggy head he said.

"I know where Leena is now and by the looks, on your faces you know too"

"So the drug's out of your system Cy?" Shepard questioned.

"It's gone enough that I can see where Leena is and I'm coming, I need to burn the hell out of some geth"

Leena's POV

Saren was pretty determined to keep me for himself. I couldn't leave his quarters due to the rooms only responding to his voice so I was pretty much a prisoner. The older turian however didn't push me into anything I was uncomfortable with. Hell, he even slept on the couch in the other room letting me have the bed. He also made sure I had plenty of food and water.

From the outside of the quarters, the planet I was on was full of life. But I had no clue what it was called, all I knew was this had to be Saren's main base. Whenever I met with eyes the older turian I could tell Sovereign was controlling Saren's actions, however, at times his eyes looked somewhat normal.

My thoughts were interrupted when the doors to the quarters opened and Saren came in. For the moment his eyes looked normal which made me relax.

"Came to check on me again?" I asked the rogue turian.

I was careful not to say anything to piss him off. Not only was Saren a former Spectre, but he also commanded the damn geth too. An amused chuckle came from the older male instead.

"Perhaps I simply wanted to see you, Leena"

He then approached and once he was in front of me did he stop. He then turned me around so my back lay against his chest. Like the day prior I felt his mouth at the base of my neck and it wasn't long until he was gently kissing my skin. My body shivered and I wanted to kick myself. I then jumped when Saren's teeth bit into my flesh and it was hard enough for the skin to be broken.

I smelled some blood but not much and when Saren licked it my body jerked.

"By the way your body is reacting Leena you are enjoying this, you enjoy my touch"

"Why are you keeping me here? You know I don't have the same feelings"

The older turian then backed me into the closest wall.

"You're here because I love you Leena, and in time I have no doubt you'll return my feelings, only then will you be completely mine and mine alone"

He then claimed a hungry kiss and in order to stay alive, I had no choice but to endure it.

Garrus's POV

I was finally on Virmire with Shepard, Wrex, and Cypher. Before entering the Mako the Commander shared a few words with Joker before we drove off.

"Easy Garrus I know you're eager to find Leena but we also have a mission here"

"I know Commander, I just want the woman I love back"

"Hey I'm just as pissed off Saren took Leena too, so your not alone Garrus," Wrex said as he drove the rover. I thanked both of them and the drive continued. Along the way to the Salarian infiltration camp, we dealt with some geth. It was obvious there were more of these bastards since this was where Saren had been hiding.

Our group had to make a few stops as well but eventually, we came upon the Salarian camp unscathed. Upon arrival, Ashley was talking with the Salarian in charge. The salarian introduced himself as Captain Kirrahe. He was surprised to hear we were the help the council sent but nothing could be done now.

According to Kirrahe he already lost a good amount of his men while investigating the area. As suspected this was Saren's base of operations as well as a research facility.

"Saren has a shifter as his prisoner" Shepard explained. "She's a member of my crew and I don't want to get her killed"

"Let me worry about that I will find Leena" Cypher interrupted. "I was only knocked out because my illusions weren't up"

The captain also mentioned that Saren was trying to make an army of Krogan. This now had Wrex's attention. According to Kirrahe, the rogue turian discovered a cure for the genophage. The base needed to be destroyed but Wrex didn't like that idea. The red krogan went off to the side to cool off while Shepard continued talking with Kirrahae.

Kirrahae then left to make plans while Shepard went to speak with Wrex. At first from the looks of things the conversation got heated. At some point, both Shepard and Wrex pointed their weapons at one another but eventually, they lowered them.

"I'm going to start looking for Leena" Cypher notified me. He then closed his eyes for a moment before reopening them. "My illusions are up see you and everyone else soon"

The Metal Dragon took flight as Shepard returned. The Commander was with Kirrahe again and the salarian had a plan. But due to casualties, Kirrahe needed someone from our team. Both Ashley and Kaiden argued they should go. Shepard decided to send Ashley with the salarians.

While more dialogue was exchanged I looked into the distance.

I'm coming for you Leena I thought. So stay alive my love so I can once again hold you in my arms once more.
