The city looms over them as the buildings seem to rise up from the gentle grasslands around. It feels out of place, most building built on a risen mound of earth with a few sunken deep into the earth. "Damn..." Alfred says in wonder feeling Abel jump up onto his shoulders. His paws cling tightly to his Omega's neck, every inch of him trying not to hiss out at the Cheetahs in the crowded streets. "What are you doing?"

"His kind ain't welcome in the Orange clans." Allistor answers seeing Abel's tail start to swing back and forth. "So if he wants ta come with us, he has to look like that."

"I hate this so much." The cat growls out feeling Alfred start to scratch under his chin. "No, stop." He mews, instinctively stretching out his neck for more. "Alfred." He tries to demand but fails as a purr escapes.

"Not my fault I know what your weak spot is." The Omega answers following the rest into the open aired market near the edge of the city. He watches as Gilbert sits Leon on his shoulders and Allistor venture away with Clara in his arms. Both laughing and joking as the children giggle happily from their spots. He asked them earlier that morning to give him and Abel a bit of time alone so like promised they, along with the others soon disappear into the crowd. "So let's get a few things while we're here."

Rubbing his cheek against his lover's, Abel answers. "Fine but we're not going overboard."

"Overboard?" Alfred could laugh at the thought. "Dude what are you talking about? I want a few things for all of them. I mean Leon has that one stuffed toy and it's so worn it won't last another year and Clara could totally get a little bird since she really does miss Lovino." As he reaches for a wooden sword a chill runs down his spine, someone's behind him, breathing down his neck. "Nat?"

As he goes to turn around his legs are kicked out from under him sending him face first into the dirt, a heavy boot slammed on his back. Before Abel has a chance to respond, the cat is thrown against a wall landing with a hard thud. Around them people are panicking, running from the group surrounding the younger Omega. "Abel!" Alfred's hands are forced behind his back and his screams fall on deaf ears. "I didn't do anything!" His mind is going a mile a minute as he's forced to his knees. "I'm pregnant, you'll hurt him! Fuck let me go!" He struggles knowing it's useless, he's out numbered five to one.

"See that's not our concern if you are or not." The Cheetah seemingly in charge gives a smirk leaning down to his face so the two are eye to eye. "Half breed, what's your name?" His green eyes shimmer as they stare at each other. "And think twice about lying to us, Alfred."

For a second Alfred freezes, his heart nearly stopping as his blood runs cold. He knows who they are or at least a sense of who they work for and he only has seconds to stop what he knows is coming. "Allistor!' Alfred screams out before the world instantly goes black.

When he awakens, he's lying on his side on the floor of a cold stone cell. His head is pounding and for a few minutes he can't see straight. "Dear I won't move around too much." Once his eyes focus Alfred sees the woman speaking to him. Her brown hair is tied neatly into a long braid to the side of her head while a large flower rests behind her other ear. "You might hurt yourself."

"Oh really?" Alfred says with a pained groan as he rotates to a sitting position, on hand resting on his temple. "So now you care?"

She sits across from him, giving him a warm smile. "That was...an associate of mine. Really he should have been nicer but then he's not paid to be." He can't help but notice her ears are speckled in black while the rest of her fur seems as white as the snow. "So what's your name?"

Alfred feels it's a trap. "Where are my mates?" He asks instead looking her dead in the eyes. "Where is Abel?"

She blinks, mocking ignorance. "Abel?"

"The cat your 'friend' threw against a wall."

The female Alpha nods understanding instantly. "I'm sure he's fine but really I'd be more worried about yourself. Does your head still hurt?" While she tries to sound calming both know there's something she's not saying. "My name is Eliza and you're Alfred right?"

"Yeah and apparently I'm pretty damn popular." His eyes narrow, beyond his cell is dark stone and earth so it's clear to him that he's underground, probably hidden away in one of the sunken buildings. "Look Eliza, while I'd love to stay and keep you company I have a family to get back too." She looks down so he continues hoping it's a soft spot for the Alpha. "I have two babies. One's a boy and the other is a little girl." Slowly he inches close to the bars and holds them tightly. "My kids are my world and they've been through so much already...please don't let them grow up without me."

She inhales slowly forcing herself to stand up. "It's not up to me."

"Look they don't need to know. Fuck, come with me and we can leave together if you want." He starts to reach through the bars to take her hand when the side of his cell burst open. Like before they're able to overpower him. "Get off of me." He growls out kicking at one of the Alphas in the chest, sending him staggering backwards. As he kicks at another, two hold him down but he doesn't give up. "Bastards."

"We might be bastards but we're going to be rich bastards." The cheetah he kicked says as he rubs his chest. "But since you bruised one of my ribs how about I do the honors?" His toothy smile turns Alfred's stomach as one of his friends hands him a large vial of light green liquid.

"Wait," Eliza starts, her eyes wide. "We never agreed to this." She takes a step forward, mentally preparing herself for what's about to happen. She'll have to act fast afterwards to save the young Omega from the Alphas.

"Bitch we did." The Cheetahs laugh as the one in charge steps forward. "Don't grow a heart now little snow leopard. She don't want any loose ends and the 'kid' is a loose end." He smirks down as one of his men kneels on Alfred's chest. "Now Logan I know you're pissed but don't give it all at once, we want the little fucker to die not him."

"Really Vince you're not a lot of fun." Logan chuckles as he grabs Alfred's throat, he forces a small stream into the Omega's mouth and down his throat until a dark mass appears in the small window above them. "Come on man move, it's fucking dark now."

The green liquid burns Alfred's throat, turns his stomach and blurs his vision but, he doesn't need to see to know who it is. "Throw me against a wall like a piece of shit will you?!" Abel jumps down through the window, morphing into his human form, axes in hand. His blades find their mark, taking the head off of one cheetah and ripping into the side of another. "Then take my mate!" He hisses out like a man possessed. Eliza watches in horror from her spot beyond the cell wall until only Vince remains.

Abel raises his ax, pointing it squarely at the Cheetah's chest as the Alpha sits back up against the stone wall. Most of his anger gone but he won't show any mercy. "Next time, make sure I'm dead." In one more swing it's over. His eyes slowly turn to her before he follows her gaze to his mate. "Shit."

Carefully the Neko kneels down to his Omega as he starts to violently vomit. "You need to get him to a healer..." Eliza says daring to enter the cell even if it means meeting the same fate as the others. "He won't last long without one." She reaches out in an act to comfort the Omega only to have Abel take her by the wrist. "I didn't want this."

"And I want a way out of the city." Abel pulls her closer so their faces are inches away. "You're going to help me and if I so much as see a sideways glace to warn someone,"

"I won't."

"Good," Abel says pulling Alfred onto his shoulders. "Then lead the way."

She walks past the remains of the Cheetahs not daring to look back. "You're covered in blood..."

"The sun's going down." Abel turns his head slightly hearing Alfred start to whimper weakly. "It'll be alright kid...Allistor's gonna know what to do." He tries to purr, if only to comfort his lover as tears start to stream down Alfred's face. "Hold on just a little longer...please."
