After Eddward was gone, Kevin turned to the rest of the pack. "While it's great and all, it creates a problem. It's no secret that Eddward and myself are the strongest warriors here but now, he cannot be on the front lines. If I had my way at all, I wouldn't have him be anywhere near battle but he isn't going to do that. So this changes our plans a bit."

Marie nods "He should stay back with little Edd and hold down the fort, as it were."

"I agree full heartedly but being the warrior he is, he can't do that. He wants to be the one to kill Alistar, which I understand, and I'm going to make sure he is there to deliver the killing blow. However, that means that the two main powerhouses are tied together. We need to create another plan of attack."

Kev sighs "I-I have a possible solution but you aren't going to like it..."Kevin just glares at him and scoffs lightly before he allowed him to continue. As soon he was done explaining, he ducks behind his lover as Kevin growls and spits obscenities at him.

"I am NOT agreeing to that! No!" Kevin growled out and started pacing. Daniel clung to Lucas, who comforted the small boy as Victoria quelled her oldest son's pacing and cursing.

"You need to calm down, Kevin..." she started.

"No! He is trying to get my mate and children killed!" Kevin snapped.

"Speaking of your mate and children, Eddward has been gone a long time" Marie points out

Kevin immediately reaches out to him. 'Eddward, where are you?'

~Earlier~ Eddward flits through the trees on the search for his second human to drain when he gets blindsided and knocked out of the trees. A malevolent, yet familiar cackle, can be heard.

"Oh, Eddward, I can't tell you how thankful I am for being as predictable as you are!" Alistar chuckles as he stabs a syringe into the vampire's neck. "Don't worry, it won't hurt the baby. I need it alive for my plans to be completed" he says as Eddward blacks out.

~Currently~ There was a very large and angry white wolf pacing back and forth in the living room. "He isn't responding to me... why isn't he responding to me?! I can't even feel him!"

Daniel was sitting in front of the large window, looking out and waiting to see Eddward any minute. He knew... he just knew... that nothing would hurt him and he would be coming through the trees any moment. His tail swung sadly and his ear flicked back and forth before Kev patted his head and held his harness up. "Ready?" he asked.

Daniel sighed "Yeah..." he said as Kev snapped the harness on and pulled it tight.

"It's going to be okay... we'll get him back, safe and sound."

"What if the Evil Man has him?" Daniel asked quietly. That sent Kevin into another round of furious curses and ferocious pacing.

Eddward wakes up in a very small, dimly lit room. He sits up, groaning and reaches out for his mate but finds himself unable to push through the fog.

"Don't bother trying to contact your mate, you won't be able to" Alistar says behind the only door in or out of the room.

Eddward groans. "What do you want?" he asks as a blood pack is tossed in. The Raven looks at it then pushes it away. Alistar rolls his eyes but snickers "Your choice… starve and kill your child or eat and risk me having put something in the blood." He starts walking away "You'll have to eat some time." Eddward sighs, already feeling the hunger come on. It must have already been a day since he ate.

Kevin reached out for Eddward for the seemingly thousandth time and growling when he was not responded to. They split into three groups, each with the ability to heal Eddward should they come across him. Kevin took Marie and Nazz, Victoria and Lucas stayed together, and Kev and Edd took Daniel. They thought their best bet was to track him at his favorite hunting spots and see if they can gather any clues. Kevin was getting desperate and irritated, snapping at people and not wanting to be touched. He almost took poor Edd's hand off when he was putting the communication device in his ear. Deep down he felt bad and he would apologize later, once his mate and children were safe.

Eddward paces around his cell looking for anyway out. "If you try anything, I promise I'll experiment on you until the abomination in you dies. Now sit down and eat!" Alistar snaps from the other side of the door.

"Fuck you, I'm not eating" Eddward says, he was beginning to get weak from hunger as he pushes at the fog in his mind desperately.

"If you don't eat, I'm going to start an IV drip directly into your system. Now Eat!"

"You come in here, I'll rip your throats out and feed off your tainted blood" Eddward hisses.

"Oh, will you now? I would love to test that..."

"Come in here and find out" Eddward growls but he manages to break through the fog finally.

Alistar laughs quietly before extracting a syringe and whistling. Out of the shadows, Eddward and Kevin's duplicate walked forward. Alistar handed the needle to the redhead "Make it painful, just don't kill him" before walking out, slamming the door.

'Kevin!' Eddward screams through their bond panicking as he tries to fight off the duplicates.

'Eddward?! Where are you?' Kevin speeds up as he connected with him, following the link. Pushing his legs to carry him faster, he vaguely recalls hearing Marie and Nazz calling out to him to slow down. He couldn't slow down; his mate was in trouble and he had to get to him NOW!

'I don't kn-' Eddward tries to say before he takes a blow to a head and the image of a needle being stabbed into his neck by the duplicate Kevin, along with an explosion of pain is sent through their bond before it goes black. "Get the fuck off of me!" Eddward screams as he struggles.

Kevin immediately gets dizzy and stumbles but recovers and comes to a stop, trying to gather his bearings. As Marie and Nazz catch up, they bombard him with questions.

"What happened, Kevin?!"

"Did Eddward contact you?"

"Where you able to get a location?"

"Is he okay?"

"Are the babies okay?"

Kevin growled loudly to get them to shut up for a second. "Yes, he did contact me for a few seconds, I didn't get an exact location but I did get a very vague location. I don't know about the condition of any of them... the connection was cut before I could ask. We need to get everyone together and figure things out. Alistar is going to die and I'm going to take great pleasure in it."

Marie groans. "DAMN IT!" she yells. "This is fucking bull shit!" the bluenette growls toppling a tree. "Let's go!"

Kevin took Marie down to her back and held her down with a large paw on her chest, pressing down. "You think I want to wait here?! No! I want to go and rip every building apart until I find them! Unfortunately, we are dealing with Alistar! Have you forgotten what he is capable of?! Let alone the fact that YOU are still under his control at any given time! So you're going to sit here and chill out and help me get them back once everyone gets here!" Kevin pushes off her chest, contacting his mother and Edd, commanding them to meet up and quickly.

Alistar comes back in just as the duplicates are shutting the cell door. "Did you get him?"

"Yes, sir. Right in the neck... just as ordered" the Raven duplicate reported.

"Good, you both may leave" as Alistar waved them off. Looking back in the cell, he laughed "Where's your attitude now, huh? You poor, pathetic, loathsome creature. Is your mate on his way? Maybe your whole pack? I'm going to enjoy killing each of them, making you watch. It's sad you'll never be able to hold your children, however."

"Have you found them?" Victoria asks when they come together.

"Is Eddward alright?!" Daniel asks.

"Everyone calm down, the only thing I know for sure is that he is alive. I know a general area where he is being held but that's all" Kevin sighed. "We need to find where he is being held and then break him out. I'm not leaving without him, end of story, it's not happening. Let's move North and spread out... let's find this fuck and get Eddward back" they all nod and dart off.

~Meanwhile~
"LET ME GO!" Eddward yells weakly as he pounds on the door of the small room.

"Do you think that I will change my mind all of a sudden? You brought this all on yourself." Alistar slid another bag of tainted blood under the door. "Eat, Eddward."

Eddward groans and pushes the bag away. "No… I brought nothing upon myself, you sick fuck!"

"Have it your way..." the intercom cuts off and Eddward is left in silence.

Awhile later, the door is slammed open and Kevin and Marie fly in. "Eddward! Hey! Stay with me..." and he starts pulling at the chains.

"Kevin!" Eddward says weakly through the fog. "Please, blood… I need fresh blood the babies…" he says urgently.

"We got to get out of here first and I'll let you have all the blood you want, okay?"

Kevin lifts him in his arms, carrying him from the room with Marie following. Kevin held a tight grip on him, bruising almost. Marie grinned as they walked through the corridor... the empty corridor...

"Don't worry, Eddward. You're in good hands now" she said with a hint of malice before Kevin carried him into a room with an operating table and restraints.

Eddward freezes. "Get off of me!" he growls, beginning to struggle and use his claws. He manages to free himself of the duplicate only to take a hit to the head from Marie, making him drop to his hands and knees he tries to get up.

A collar is snapped around his neck and a shock is set off, traveling over his body. Kevin and Marie lift him off the ground and slam him on the table, securing his arms and legs. Kevin's duplicate leaned down and spoke quietly "Do I smell like him? Do I feel like him? Do I sound like him? Do I confuse your senses? It's alright Eddward, I'm coming for you!... does that sound familiar?"

Eddward growls and bites the imposter's cheek, taking a small hunk off and spits it out. "You don't taste like him" he hisses as the duplicate screams in pain.

As the pain subsided, Kevin wiped some of the blood flowing from the wound off before smirking and slapping Eddward across the face. "You have a smart mouth... surprised he doesn't stuff your mouth more often." Marie helped Kevin move to the door before closing it behind him. Another intercoms buzzed to life "That's wasn't very nice, Eddward."

Eddward spits out some blood. "Fuck you" he hisses pulling at the restraints.

"You'll never break them. You'll never see anyone ever again. Your death will be heard and sung about for ages to come. I'll get all the different test subjects and I need you'll be out of my hair."

Eddward growls. "My mate will come for me, you'll see! You'll never touch my children!" he says bashing against the fog in his mind.

"Thanks for telling me about that, by the way... The more the merrier! It always helped Daniel is he had someone with him when we experimented on him. His screams and pleads were just like his mother's... simply invigorating" a dark cackle was heard before the intercom clicked off.

Eddward let's a single tear slip down his face as he continues to bash against the barrier to warn Kevin and the others to stay away.

Kev was sweeping through the forest. As much as he hated to admit it, he owed Eddward a large debt, more than anything that could ever be repaid. On top of all that, he made a promise to a small little redhead that he would help bring Eddward back safe again. Suddenly, he stopped and looked around. The forest looked horribly familiar and his blood ran ice cold. 'He can't be here... No... Not here... Anyplace but here...' Peeking through the trees, he eyed a large building and he trembled. This is not good...

Eddward screams in pain as yet another needle is slowly and painfully inserted into his body by Alistar. "Fuck! I'm going to kill you!" he growls pulling at the restraints.

"Now, now... I don't like when you make me promises and then you break them. That's not nice, Eddward" Alistar sneered. "I always keep my promises to you, after all..." Leaning down and whispering in Eddward's ear "I promised I would make you watch right? Watch as I destroy your little family. Well, I've caught the first batch..." as a few guards push Lucas and Victoria down the hall. Their hands were tied together behind them and they were being led down with ropes around their neck attached to long poles.

Eddward hears their voices and stiffens. "Let them go, they haven't done anything to you. This is between you and I" he says pulling at the restraints again.

Alistar just grins evilly as he leaves and slams the door, following his newest test subjects to their cages.

"I saw them get taken into there" Kev reported to Kevin sadly.

"What is this building?" Kevin asked gruffly.

"It's used to punish escapers and people who refuse to break. This is where people, if they come back, are changed. It's bad..."

"Great, first my mate and now my parents. Alistar is really starting to piss me off."

"What's the plan? Get them out, recover, and then take him down?" Kev asks as everyone looks to Kevin for guidance.

"First and foremost, we should be to get them out but I'm going to do everything in my power to take Alistar down. I think that should be on all of our agendas... Free any and all prisoners but if you can kill Alistar, do it." Kevin sighed deeply to calm himself. He had a constant hammering on his link with Eddward but he hadn't heard anything since. "We should take their power grid out first, right? Daniel, go with Edd and fry the power supply with your harness. Don't play around, don't go easy. You understand me? We gotta get everyone out."

"Got it, Big Brother!"

"Everyone else, wait until the power goes down and attack. Stealth and speed is your friend. Keep communication to a need basis only, got it?" Everyone agreed and moved around the building getting in position and eyeing guards. Daniel and Edd quickly made their way to the electric grid. A loud pop and a bright light shone in the dark before everything went black and Hell broke loose.
