A/N Thank you Everyone who has reviewed. It actually fuels me to write more and continue. Thank you. :D

Hunter growls as he watches as his scouts come back empty handed. They had been looking for over a week. Since they started looking for Seth, they had not found a single supernatural. They had found nothing to even lead them to where Seth was. Hunter slams his fist against the wall and then turns looking at Brock. He was getting more frustrated and angry buy the passing day. "They have pulled back into their base."

Brock nods and looks at him, "I think so. We have not found any of Taker's people. He pulled them back into their base because he knows we will be looking for them."

Hunter closes his eyes and grits his teeth.

Randy looks at Cody and then back at his father, "We'll find Seth. They can't hide forever."

Hunter turns and then speaks, "Do we have any idea where their base could be? Any new leads."

Randy shakes his head and then sighs. "No We only have a couple of assumptions but we have never found anything. Any scout that we wend to those areas either don't come back or come back empty handed."

Hunter closes his eyes and then turns and growls, "Keep sending people out. Eventually someone will come out. I want them."

Brock nods, "Alright."

Randy nods and leads Cody towards the stables, "me and Cody will go look."

Hunter runs a hand through his hair and whispers, " Come on Seth.

Over the next week Seth settles into life at the castle. He doesn't though leave the room unless Roman takes him. When he's left alone in the room he reads any book he can get his hands on from Roman's library. The reason he doesn't leave the room is that Roman doesn't think it's safe yet. Punk's reaction is calm compared to some guards. Not to mention no one had talked to Ryback yet either. Most of the guards wouldn't anger Taker but Roman won't take the risk.

Roman talked to Taker and Taker suggested to get Seth one of the puppies. The puppies are special to supernaturals, in that they are stronger and grow large. they are also highly protective of their owners which Roman thinks will help. Roman just tells Seth though that he wants to take him to look at the puppies.

Seth walks through the castle hallways, following Roman and holding onto his hand. Roman leads him into court yard. They by pass the guards running drills and head to the garden where Punk and Dean are. Dean raises his eyebrow when he sees them. Punk eyes Seth but says nothing.

Dean looks at Roman, "Hey Rome."

Roman nods and looks at them, "Hey we're heading to the see the Hounds."

Dean grins, "There's a new litter."

Seth follows Roman closely and looks at Dean, "Want to come with us?"

Dean stands and follows them, "Sure. Come on Punk."

Punk raises his eyebrow but follows Dean. Seth wants to try to get to know Roman's friends.

Seth smiles at them, trying not to be intimidated by Punk's glare. They head to the stables and Seth looks around the stables. There in the straw is a littler of puppies that where born a couple weeks ago. Seth kneels beside the litter and gently picks up a little male puppy. The puppy squirms happily and licks at him.

Seth sits in the straw petting the dog, "what breed are these? I don't know them."

Roman looks at Dean and doesn't know how to explain.

Punk pipes up, "They're not a breed humans would be familiar with"

Seth nods and whispers, "they're beautiful though."

He pets the puppy. The puppy seems large to him but is chocolate brown short hair.

Punk nods, "They are."

Seth smile softly at the dog and whispers, "Punk?"

Punk looks at him as he holds a puppy and scratches it's ear.

"I'm sorry for what my family did to you," Seth states and bites his lip.

Seth expects Punk to blow up or hit him. Roman though stands between them a little watching.

Punk sighs and then looks at Seth, "I know it wasn't you. I know you're not a hunter and wouldn't hurt us on purpose. I see you with Roman and know that. It's just.."

Seth peeks up, "it's just what my family is that makes you dislike me."

Punks and looks at "Yes."

Dean hums and watches.

Seth peeks at Punk and whispers, "I'm sorry."

Punk shakes his head, "don't apologize you can't choose your family. I need to just accept that you aren't your family."

Seth nods and holds the puppy close, "I'd never hurt you or.. anyone"

Punk nods and looks at him, "you should keep the puppy."

Roman looks down and watches Seth hold the puppy, "That's why I brought him here."

Seth looks up at Roman, "what.."

Roman kneels down, "I wanted you to pick a dog. One for protection and also so your not alone so much."

Seth smiles softly and then looks at Roman, "thank you."

Roman looks at him, "what are you going to name him?"

Seth looks at the puppy who's happy just cuddling with Seth, "I don't know." He thinks and then smiles softly, "Kevin."

Dean crinkles his nose, "Kevin?"

Seth nods and holds the dog close.

Dean shrugs, "I guess." He looks at Roman.

Roman takes Seth's hand and helps him up. Roman then smile softly at Seth, "I like the name."

Seth smile softly and leans against Roman. Roman runs his hand down the puppies back.

Seth whispers, "I get to keep him in our room?"

Roman nods, "Yes."

Seth smiles and it seems brighter then normal. Over the next couple days Seth is happier then he has been ever. When Roman is busy, Dean and Punk or the puppy kept him busy. Punk began to actually like Seth and kept him company when Dean couldn't. What Seth didn't know was his life was about to change again.
