Victoria's POV
"We have to tell your mom" Amanda said after a few moments.
"No. We have to get him ourselves" I said, taking charge.
"Who? Us? Its two wizards in training versus a wizard powerful enough to capture a werewolf who's married to the wizard that won the wizard competition" Amanda said.
"No, not just the two of us. The whole family. Marcus, Will, you, me and Anthony" I said. Anthony Uncle Justin's and Aunt Juliet's first child. He is sixteen years old and almost a full wizard. Amanda sighed.
"How are we going to contact him?" She asked.
"They live downstairs, Amanda! All we have to do is walk down a flight of stairs! Or, we could flash in there" I said. Amanda squealed and pulled out her wand from a convenient pocket that she sewed on every outfit that she has. I've asked her to make one for me, but she's never answered my question.
"Okay. Let's go downstairs!" Amanda said, waving her wand. There was a flash of light and we were in the very neat and orderly living room of the other Russo's.
"Where's Anthony?" Amanda whispered.
"I don't know, wait, I think I hear something" I whispered back. I heard footsteps.
"What are you two doing here?" Anthony said, walking in.
"My dad's in trouble and we need to go rescue him" I said.
"What?" He asked. After I explained about what we saw, Anthony grabbed his backpack.
"Amanda, flash to your house and pack your stuff" Anthony said. Amanda nodded and flashed out.
"Victoria, flash upstairs and tell Michael and Will to pack your stuff. Tell our parents that I'm going to take you guys on a little road trip and we'll be gone for a couple of days" He said. I nodded and flashed into my room. I ran downstairs and grabbed Marcus and Will by their shirt collars.
"What?" Marcus asked once we got up to my room.
"Dad's in trouble and we're going to go get him" I said. I explained everything and told them to go pack our stuff.
"Don't pack to much stuff. Just one backpack for each of us" I said to Marcus. He nodded and ran out of my room. I took a deep breath and went downstairs.
"Hey, guys, Anthony is going to take all the cousins on a road trip for a couple of days" I said. All of the adults nodded and said their good-byes and good-bye kisses. Once everyone was back in Anthony's room, we started to make a plan.
"So, what's the plan?" I asked Anthony, who was pacing while everyone else was hanging out on his bed.
"The plan is to rescue your-" Anthony began, but we heard a loud crash and screaming from upstairs. I pulled out my wand and flashed upstairs. My apartment had been destroyed in a matter of moments. The couch was upside-down, grandma's lamp was in a million pieces, and there was blood.
"Help" I heard someone groan. I ran over to the sound of the voice and saw Aunt Harper, with the fridge on top of her.
"Guys! I need some help!" I yelled, as everyone flashed in. Anthony ran over and started to lift the fridge. Amanda and Marcus joined in. Will grabbed one of Aunt Harper's arms and I grabbed the other.
"One, two, three, LIFT AND PULL!" I screamed. Will and I finally got her out from under the fridge.
"Anthony! Go flip the couch back over. Amanda! Help me with her!" I instructed. Anthony flipped the couch back over and put the cushions back in place. Amanda rushed over to help me with Aunt Harper.
"Come on, we have to get her on the couch" I said. Amanda nodded as we half dragged half carried Aunt Harper onto the couch.
"What happened?" I asked her, once she had a glass of water and a blanket was draped over her legs.
"A man, Gorog, he came. I thought that Alex, Justin and Max had defeated him, but it seems like he came back. He asked where she was and he tore through the apartment looking for whoever it was. When he couldn't find what he was looking for, he cast a spell to tie everyone up and he flashed out. All I remember was him laughing. That terrible and evil laughter. He also had a note. It had some Chinese writing on it, but I don't know what it said" Aunt Harper said. I looked around for the note. I found it next to a puddle of blood. It said '維多利亞'
"Anthony, look. You took Chinese for a few years, right?" I asked Anthony, as I pulled him into the remains of my kitchen.
"Yeah, but, I didn't learn much. All I know from looking at this is that it's a name" he said. I nodded and walked back over to Harper.
"Was this the note?" I asked. She looked at it and nodded.
"We have to go. Now. Gorog could be anywhere, he might be watching us right now" Anthony said, lifting up his backpack. I did the same.
"We need to know where to go. Aunt Harper, did you hear him say where he was going?" I asked her.
"He said something about a warehouse on the rock" Aunt Harper said.
"C'mon. Let's go. I have a bad feeling about this place" Amanda said.
"What's the worst that could happen?" Anthony said.
"Gaah! Don't say that! That's what everyone says in a horror movie before they get murdered by the insane chainsaw serial killer!" Marcus yelled. As if Marcus was right, a scream came from the balcony. I ran outside and saw baby Michael, sitting there, crying.
"Oh, honey!" I cried as I picked him up. I turned around and saw that no one had followed.
"Hello? Amanda? Anthony? Marcus? Will?" I called out. I walked inside and saw that the lights were turned off. I searched for the light switch and turned it on. The apartment had been restored to its original beauty. Except Amanda, Anthony, Marcus and Will had been tied up and Aunt Harper was standing there, laughing.
"Aunt Harper?" I asked. She stopped laughing and looked at me with gray eyes. Aunt Harper had brown eyes.
"I'm not Harper, girl. I am Gorog" she said in a voice that was defiantly not Aunt Harpers. I gasped as she changed into a white haired man with a black top hat and a purple suit jacket.
"Where is my family?" I yelled as baby Michael continued to cry.
"Safe. For now. Now, girl, tell me where the chosen one is!" He said, lunging for me. I held my hand out to cover Michael, and prepared for impact. Except it never came. I looked up and saw Gorog, floating in mid-air, eyes wide in surprise.
"It's you" he whispered. I dropped my hand and he fell to the ground.
"Come here little girl, and I won't hurt your family" he said, coming towards me. I took a few steps back, and then ran around him and towards my cousins. I pulled out my wand and used a spell to untie them.
"ANTHONY!" I screamed as I turned around and saw that Gorog was almost on me. I managed to cast a spell on baby Michael so he was able to reach Anthony before me. Then Gorog grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his arms.
"Say good night, out like a light" He whispered into my ear. That was the last thing I heard before I fell into the vast darkness of
