Disclaimer night world belongs to L. J. Smith.
When they arrived home the Buffalo group was already back. Thierry immediately assigned people to take Hunter to the dungeon, research cures for the boys and take them to the infirmary.
Everyone else went to wash and rest up. The girls started heading towards the infirmary with the boys but Thierry made them rest in their rooms for the night.
As soon as Mare woke up in the morning she woke up Jez and Rashel so they could all go down to the infirmary together, for support. They walk into the room and saw Thea there with some other witches injecting stuff into Ash.
Mare ran over saying "What are you putting in him?"
Thea turned around and started explain that Hunter had injected them with a dark magic potion to forget about us so they were trying to inject some light magic in them to reverse it or at least stop them from acting so violent.
Mare reluctantly agreed not really understand what they had said just knowing that it was supposed to help Ash. Once they were done with Ash they did the same thing to Quinn and Morgead. An hour later the witches left and the girls sat by their unconscious soulmates waiting for anything to happen. After a few hours of sitting in silence Mare stomach growled demanding that she feed it.
Sighing she got up and asked if the girls wanted to come along. They agreed and went upstairs to find something quick to eat. While they were eating Keller and Poppy came in for lunch as well.
"How are the guys doing?" Poppy asked hesitantly not wanting seem nosey. The girls sighed again and Jez said, "No change their still unresponsive." They sat in silence for a little longer until Poppy spoke again, "Have you tried to connecting with them through the soulmate bond since they've been back. Maybe try with contact because that usually makes it stronger."
"No we haven't tried that but we should. Thanks so much Poppy if this works I won't know how to repay you." Mare said quickly while the girls finished their lunch with new hope lit inside them. Poppy waved off the thanks and shoed them back to the infirmary.
Once the girls got to the room they hesitated to try it. What if it didn't work? What if it set them off into a violent spell? What if it did work and the boys really didn't want anything to do with them anymore?
The girls looked at each other and in an unspoken agreement all went to their soulmates bed side and reached for their hands. Before they made contact they hear a shouting coming from downstairs where a certain evil vampire was placed in the dungeons.
They girls jumped in surprise and raced down the stairs to demand Hunter tell them how to get their soulmates back to normal. They wanted to leave this opption as their last option in case of failure. If this really did fail they wouldn't know what to do. They would break down and give up because there is nothing stronger then the soulmate principle.
When they got to the dungeons Thierry and Lupe were already at the cell door talking to Hunter. "If you want out then you will tell me what you did to my best fighters." Thierry demanded in an icy voice none of them have ever heard him use.
In the same deathly tone that Thierry used the three girls said, "now," coming to stand right behind Thierry to look more threatening.
"Oh look who came to see me." Hunter said to the three girls. "I thought it was obvious but if you want me to spell it out for you I turned the boys back into what they were before. How they were living before Thierry and you three fed them all this fake soulmate junk. All I did was reminding them of who they use to be and guess what they seem to like it. Why wouldn't they before you three came along that is what they had chosen to do with their lives."
"That's a load of baloney and we all know it. All we want to know is how to get them back to how they were before you messed with their brains," Mare said.
"I don't know how to do that. Why would I want to reverse the amazing things I have created," he paused and gave them and evil grin, "even if I knew I wouldn't tell you." He said smugly.
The girls were furious and Thierry sent them back upstairs. A few moments later Thierry joined them and said he knocked Hunter out and some professionally train witches were going through his brain to see if he was telling the truth and if there was anything useful stored in there. Meanwhile the girls told Thierry what Poppy had suggested to them and he agreed that they should try that as soon as possible.
The girls headed back to the infirmary where their soulmates laid motionless. They all took a deep breath and leaned closer to their soulmates. At the same time they each grabbed a hand. Nothing happened. Mare leaned in closer to stroke Ash's blond hair off his forehead.
She started whispering, "Ash I know you're in there somewhere. You can't leave me all alone after we have just found each other. You promised we'd always be looking at the same sky but how is that supposed to happen when your ever changing eyes that melt my heart and soul are closed not only to the world but to me." Her voice was getting shaky and her vision was blurring but she continued.
"Come back to me you arrogant, over confident, cocky, stunning, sweet, sensitive, ticklish, funny, smart, caring, curious, crazy soulmate that I have loved since I laid eyes on. Come back my Ash." By this point they were forehead to forehead nose to nose and she almost missed the slight flutter of his eye lids as one of her tears fell onto it.
Somewhere in the distance she heard Jez scream that Morgead was awake but all Mare could focus on was the ever changing eyed, blond lying down under her.
"Mary-Lynnette," he mumbled so quietly she almost missed it.
"Yes Ash I'm here for you just wake up and come back to me. Come back to us."
His eyes finally opened and Mare threw her arms around him in happiness shouting "ASH". It took a while for Mare to realize that Ash's arms were not around her. In fact he laid as motionless as he had when he was unconscious. She untangled herself from him and saw that he was looking at her with confusion in his eyes.
She looked around at the other girls to find them all in the same predicament. Their soulmates might be awake and calm but there was still a problem.
The boys had no idea who their soulmate were.
