A-D: Ok, I've been sick, I've been lazy, and I've been under stress. Thanks to people that faved and watched and reviewed. I own nothing, and would love more ideas. Like…really.

†Crouching Werewolf, Hidden Vampire††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††

A plan had been made. Vincent was leading this one, as he was the only one at full strength. The others, being Sephiroth, Axel, Riku, and Yazoo, were all following after a proper feeding. They all had to be at their strongest for this, after all. Sora and Roxas had been taken for a reason. They'd memorized simple signals in case talking was not able to happen, and each step taken was silent yet quick. They'd already managed to get by several werewolves. A couple seemed new, though it wasn't clear as no one got close enough to find out.

"Axel." Riku looked toward the pyro, then nodded toward some lumps on the ground before the hole that led to the mansion. They were two werewolves sleeping on the job. The red head rolled his eyes and glanced to Vincent. The pureblood seemed unconcerned with the beasts, and made the motion that someone go ahead and take care of them.

"I'll get that for you." Axel let his power focus upon the two, working on making a comfortable heat that would keep them asleep while he moved in with Riku. It seemed to work, as neither of the sleeping guards stirred. It was only a matter of moments before the breath was leaving their bodies and their sleep became eternal.

Sephiroth moved on to scout ahead, using a tree for a vantage point once he was inside the walls and among the small forest that seemed to belong to the ominous and lonely looking mansion. It held no different air than usual. It still gave the impression that it was most likely something that was just there and uncared for. Of course, the eyes of the vampires could tell otherwise.

"They're all there tonight." Sephiroth commented, frowning at the slight power that he could feel. That coven seemed to be fairly uncaring about the visitors that were so hiding away. "They're expecting us." Surprise attacks were more Sephiroth's style at times, and this was no exception. To know that they were expected…well it put a damper on his already rather low spirits.

"We'll just need to be far more cautious. You already know who to avoid. I'm not worried." There was a slight shuffle as the other three joined them in the tree. Each took a branch that would hold their weight. "Yazoo. Tell me again. Where would they hold the twins?" Vincent was uninterested in the lives of the humans, but to him it was a challenge to rescue them. So, it would be treated with care.

"There are several ballrooms. Two are hidden… past one is a cell block that is made from various steels and reinforced with elemental barriers. That is where I would expect them to be held, but seeing as this is something else… They may be within the White Room." He hated that room. His distasted was actually sent out in his voice, making Riku look to him.

"Is that a horrible room?" Riku had only seen halls, more halls, and the room where Yazoo and Kadaj were kept. So this was… something he'd like to hear about. His brother looked over.

"It is as it is called. A white room. One table, one lamp, and one chair. It is void of all sound, and the only light comes from the lamp. The walls reflect the light, leaving no shadows." He shivered. "It's…it's maddening. The silence… The light…" He silenced himself and looked away. "I…hope that they will not actually be in that room…"Axel shook his head. "Why don't we go in!" He hissed, not happy with what he was hearing. If that room was such a torture, void of sound and contrast, then why would they be standing around in a damned tree waiting for something to happen! He moved to leave, but Sephiroth pulled him back.

"Axel. Realize that if we do not form a proper plan, Roxas and Sora will both be dead." His tone was ice cold. It was the taller male's 'business' tone. It knocked Axel back into his senses. "Now…first we must take care of this area." He motioned to the seemingly empty area that they were in. Axel saw nothing wrong with it, and was about to speak up, but then he noticed. It was completely silent. No bats, no Owls. Nothing. That only meant that there was something there besides them.

Riku and Yazoo moved to go look around, making their descent as silent as they could. Upon touching the ground, they hurried off to look. Each took a separate area. Yazoo the west, Riku the east. They agreed to meet up around the south end to discuss anything observed before returning to the tree. Each took their time, making sure that nothing was overlooked. As they met up, something broke the silence.

"Well well, If it's not a pair of the Chicken Wuss' friends." The voice snapped both vampires to attention, looking to the bushes where it had come from. Seifer had walked up. He was out of his wolf form, though some of the features stayed. The eyes, the enhanced senses, and the fangs. It was not a pretty sight. "What might you be doing in our territory, hm?" That seemed to almost be a signal, as five wolves slinked out around the three, each looking eager for some form of a fight.

"We're here to get our friends back." Riku growled. A small part of him wondered if they knew that the others were around. By scent it would be hard to tell, what with the fact Riku was around them so much that his scent was almost masked with theirs… but it would provide an advantage. The wolves weren't showing any signs of noticing that there might be others…

"You killed two of my pack…you know I can't let you losers get away with that." The alpha moved to walk off. "I'm damn sure that my guardians here will be able to handle you. I'll just sit and watch. Get them." As soon as the words left his lips, the wolves surged forward. Riku and Yazoo prepared for a fight, though Yazoo had no idea how he was going to do anything without a weapon or any idea how to use any magics.

But salvation hit down when two of the wolves burst into flame, one of the two being skewered by a rather lengthy Katana blade. Axel and Sephiroth had come to the rescue. The wolf that was still aflame rolled about, trying to douse the flames and return to the attack. The other three were advanced upon. Riku's dark powers kicked in and created a veil over one's eyes, leading it to snarl and rage at anything near. A blind wolf was not a happy one after all.

One managed to pin Yazoo, who quickly learned that his magics were based upon how he felt. Vines were worming their way around the creature, clamping its mouth shut and pushing it off of the male. Through this, Seifer was changing. A dusty gold pelt joined the bodies, jaws snapping at any of the vampires. Of course, after a few minutes of this, and seeing yet another of his guardians fall to the vampires, he barked a couple commands and tore away with the remaining werewolves.

While the fight was going on, Roxas and Sora were growing increasingly worried. The White Room was not their cell. They'd been in the presence of one or two of the coven at all times. They were awaiting something to be said to them from the 'Superior.' It left the two shaking a bit, though Roxas was trying to be a good brother and show Sora that this wasn't anything to be scared of.

"They'll save us. You know it Sora." Roxas smiled to his brunette twin. The boy looked worried still, but was easing with each thing that was said to him. "I promise you. I mean…come on, Axel might rush in any second asking us about a Bar-B-Q." that got a small laugh from the boy. "And Riku'll show up and roll his eyes then kick some butt." Sora went to say something when the female at their side glared.

"Shut up you two, or I'll make you shut up." Her antenna-like hair crackled with sparks. The boys shut up instantly. She was scary after all. A moment later, the door to the room opened, and in stepped Xemnas. The boys had only learned a little bit about him from what they could hear when they asked others. Demyx, someone neither of the boys thought was all too evil at all, told them his opinion while Zexion, another who had been watching them, made corrections at intervals that seemed drastic to him or the boys. Oddly, they felt like those two were trying to help them.

"Boys… It seems that your friends have come to get you." The gold-eyed man smirked. "I suppose we might just need to rush our plans." Plans? Sora looked alarmed. What in the world were they talking about? Whatever it was, Larxene looked happy. "Get Saix for me if you would. We need to make…preparations." The way that was said… the tone just dripped hunger. Sora and Roxas felt very very scared then.
