The Lycans spread out and searched everywhere following her scent. It soon started to rain which washed away any trace remains of Amelia in the woods. They found her scouting clothes and the remains of the baron's party. Lucian knew that the remains were not Amelia's and passed them up. The sun soon began to rise but it was blocked by the dark clouds of the storm. The vampires would be in bed. If he did not find his Amelia that would be the next place he would head. "Lucian," he heard Raze a few steps in front of him. His voice sounded hesitant making Lucian's heart drop. "I found her," he finished in the same negative tone.
Lucian sprinted as fast as he could to Raze's far off voice. She was alive, he repeated to himself, she is alive. He would break through the foliage and find her sitting there, begging his forgiveness and telling him she got lost. He would hold his beloved daughter in his arms whild scolding and telling her he loves her.
He finally reached Raze and saw his eyes full or sorrow. His breathing was heavy in panic, searching for any signs of hope, but finding none. Raze turned and walked away, revealing behind him, buried in the mud and leaves a body. Lucian's jaw dropped and his breath hitched. He slowly walked forward, and kneeled. The hair of the body was over the face and when he rolled her over and moved the hair, he saw it was indeed his beloved daughter...or some version of her. The rain water mingled with his tears as he drew her body into his lap and her head to his check. Sobs came next as he held her still form until he released a long sorrowful howl. All the creatures in the forest stopped and listened to the sorrowful song of a father that had unfortunately found his daughter...
The lycans retreated from the woods upon hearing their leader's howl. They waiting in the main hall for him to return. The large main doors flew open in a flash of lightening and a shadow stood in the door. Lucian walked in holding the limp body of his daughter. Her head drooped over his arm and her hair dripped mud and water from its ends. Upon finding her naked he wrapped her in his cloak. He walked to the center of the room and gingerly placed her body on the table that they had planned many meetings on.
Vex and Maun began to back up upon seeing her bloody remains but bumped into something. It was Lucian. He grabbed them and threw them to the base of the table. His speed shocked and awed his fellow lycans. He grabbed the two by the back of their necks and brought them to their feet only to slam their face down by Amelia's body.
"Do you see what you've done to her," he growls,"Is this part of your plan?" None of the men in the room made a move to help the two. Lucian was stronger than any of them. Lucian crushes their faces into the table,"If her breath fails...so will yours," he finishes by lifting them and tossing them aside. "Get out!" he screamed to the men and knelt by the table.
