A/N: Another thing I forgot to mention, Jack had no part in the whole White Ghost debacle but Kensi was captured and tortured. Again I do not own anything. Enjoy!

Dreams and Loyalty

Chapter 6

Kensi's P.O.V

I walk into the mission and notice that it's eerily quiet, almost too quiet. The bullpen holds a single person with his back to me. And instantly I recognize him.

"Jack." I growl. I watch him turn around a sneer at me.

"Ah Kensi, still beautiful I see." He starts walking towards me.

I raise a hand to halt his efforts, wisely he stops. "What are you doing here?"

"Why I came for the Detective." I could feel my heart drop. "I can't have my woman loving someone else, especially not someone like him. He is a nobody Kensi, but me, I am somebody, I have power Kens, I could give you the world, I could give you everything you need."

"But you are NOT everything I want or need. I don't belong to you Jack! I belong to myself."

I saw darkness overshadow his face in an instant. "Then you leave me no choice."

He looked behind me and I saw two men on the balcony holding a bruised and beaten Deeks with a rope around his neck. "Deeks!" I scream and as I start to run towards him I feel Jack grip me from behind pinning my arms to my sides, effectively stopping me. "NO! Deeks!"

"Kensi, Wake up!"

I hear Deeks' voice but his lips aren't moving. Then as if in slow motion I watch as Jack's men throw Deeks over the railing. "No!" I felt something shaking me as I watched Deeks come to a sudden stop as the rope ended. The sickening sound of bones cracking hit me, tearing my heart in two.

"Kensi."

That was Deeks' voice. But that couldn't be right I was looking at his body swinging back and forth lifelessly. I felt tears pour down my face.

"Kensi it's just a dream. Please wake up!"

I bolted straight up with a scream ripping itself from my throat. I looked around frantically and finally my eyes landed on Deeks. My breath hitched as I saw the life in his eyes and his skin that was bruise free. I didn't realize that my hand was on his cheek. I needed to know that he was alive.

My heart was still beating frantically and my breath fast and uneven. "It was just a dream Kensi, I'm here." Those words, spoken with so much strength behind them, broke the damn. I threw my arms around his neck and buried my face in his neck and cried. His arms wound around me and laid us back down.

My hand fisted in his shirt and I lay nearly on top of him. "You…. d-died, in my dream. J-Jack killed you while he made me watch…" I sobbed as I relived the dream. "It seems so real Deeks." I cried.

"But it wasn't Fern. As far as I know I'm not dead." He began patting his body in a theatictrical way that brought a small smile. "Ah there is that smile I love." His thumb came up and wiped my tears away. I noticed it was still dark and that Sam and Callen were asleep as well.

"Where is Cara?" I asked when I finally calmed down and my heart beat returned to normal.

"Last Callen had seen her she was going to the gym."

I knew what my sister was doing, beating herself up. "Come with me. I want to show something." I got up and held out my hand to him. We silently made out way to the gym our shoulders bumping with every other step.

As we neared the gym I could hear the telltale signs of my sister driving herself to the ground with her training. I held a finger up to my lips as I looked to Deeks.

In the gym Cara had her sword poised in front of her as an apparition of a faceless human charged her. She parried the blow and swung on her heel with supernatural speed and severed the head. As the being evaporated into smoke another charged from seemingly nowhere trying to sneak up behind her; two daggers aimed right for her heart. Without even turning around Cara thrust the sword under her arm and pierced the apparition in the heart. No noise escaped her lips but sweat dripped down her forehead.

"You know it takes a lot to make a werewolf even break a sweat. How long have you been in here sister?" Cara spun around fast looking at us is surprise. She was so focused on training that she had not heard us come in.

"No long enough." He voice was hard.

"It's not your fault Cara." I tried to reason but could see that she didn't believe my words. "You want a real sparing buddy?"

A crooked smile came to her face showing off her elongated canines. "Sure, what about you Deeks? Think you're up for some primitive weapons training?" I could see him debating.

"Sure why not." Deeks and I both changed into workout clothes. When I came out it was just me and Cara. She looked me over and I knew she knew.

"You had another dream didn't you." it was a statement, there was no refuting. I nodded. "How bad was it?" she was speaking to me not as a sister but as an Alpha, and though I wasn't a wolf or even a part of her pack I knew that I couldn't lie.

"It was really bad." I didn't lie but I didn't expand either. She clearly accepted it as she just nodded and walked over to a long and wide case. Flipping open the lid I could see her collection of weapons that she carried with her at all times.

I could hear Deeks coming up behind me. Cara picked up a sword I thought I would never see again. "You still have that?" I could see a myriad of emotions in Cara's eyes as she nodded.

She held my sword; a hand and a half sword with a blood groove with ancient Greek phrases engraved in the blood groove. It was a stark difference to Cara's black wolf blade.

"I thought that after the war is over that the silence between us would end and I could give this back to you. But the Fates had a different idea."

She held the pommel out to me. I gripped my sword for the first time in 15 years and drew it from its scabbard. It felt like coming home, with the ringing the hung in the air.

"Deeks." Cara caught his attention. "Choose a weapon from the trunk the sit back and watch."

"Is this not a little dangerous."

I chuckled. "It would be if Cara didn't dull the blade with magic." I saw him absorb this news.

"Werewolves, vampires, why does magic not surprise me." Cara let loose a laugh and looked to me. I shook my head as I looked at him.

"Alright Cara let's see if I retained any of my training."

Cara drew her blade from the scabbard at her hip. The black blade really was a foreboding weapon that seemed to suck the light from the room. She twirled in at her side as we walked in a circle sizing each other up. As quick as lightening she lunged, I quickly blocked the blade as it ascended on my neck. For several minutes we went at each other taking out our anger and frustration at Jack and the whole situation. Sparks flew with the strength at which we were swinging our weapons. Lesser swords would have chips missing and indents marring the blade. But our weapons were not made by man they were made by wolves nearly a thousand years ago. Finally after a good twenty minutes, in which time a regular human would have had a heart attack at the speed we were going, Cara found her opening and I felt the temporarily dull tip slice my stomach. If it was sharp my insides would have been on the floor.

"I got tired and out of breath just watching you two, how are you not dying?" Deeks looked at me.

"Like I said werewolf without the change." I said as I sat down on the bench next to him.

"Also helps that she and I have been training since we could walk."

"Do you remember mothers face when we first started training." My sister laughed.

"She hovered during ever session then made us a chicken salad sandwich for lunch."

"Have either of you contacted her?" Deeks asked. I looked to him and saw real concern in his eyes.

"I called her," Cara said when she saw my face. "She said that she will call when she gets in and I will have someone pick her up and bring her here. I fear that she could be used as leverage." Her voice leaked venom. Cara's loyalty was commendable, I knew she would protect her family and my make shift family with everything that she had. "Now I must make a call to Alex and let him know what is going on. Kensi why don't you teach Deeks the basics, you never know when it will come in handy." She slid her sword back into its scabbard and picked up her phone and made her way out.

"She makes a lot of calls." Deeks said as we stood up.

"She is the figure head of the war. Since she became Alpha Vampire numbers have lowered and wolf numbers have rose. Vampires thought of us mongrels to be hunted to extinction. When Cara took over for the war effort wolves finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel." I said as I positioned Deeks in the proper fighting stance.

For the next hour I taught Deeks how to properly hold a sword, when to strike and to always keep your weapon in front of you. Finally the sun began to rise when I heard Cara growl in frustration. It was a sound the reverberated through the mission and I knew that it woke the team up. I ran out of the gym with my weapon in hand with Deeks on my tail. Sa, Callen, Nell and Eric came bounding down the stairs. Hetty appeared out of her office.

Cara was pacing with a death grip on her phone. "Cara…" she was no lost in her mind that she didn't hear us. "Cara!" she spun to look at me the look in her eyes spoke that something had happened. "What is going on?" she growled again her lips curling and a fire shone in her eyes.

"A quad of my wolves had cornered Jack just outside of Deeks' apartment. As they tried to detain them he…" her chest was heaving in anger.

"Cara you need to calm down."

"Calm down!" she yelled, staring me down but I took a step towards her with the same determination that she had.

"Yes, you need to calm down and tell us what happened!" I yelled back.

"Jack just killed four of my wolves! When they didn't check in Chris went to check on them and found their heads rolling on the pavement." She ran her hand through her hair.

Cara hated loosing wolves to anything just as much as she hated people threatening her family. Finally her anger was too much and she drew her sword and swung it at the metal grate behind Callen's desk. It sliced through it like it was butter. Then it seemed all of the fight left my sister as her weapon clattered to the ground.
