Author's note: Thanks again for the reviews everyone! :) All of them are very much appreciated. Anyway, I am so sorry about the pups :( It was really hard for me to make that decision. I did it because I want to show how truly sadistic the Wyatt family really is. Also, about the new character Jon (Blade), I think everyone can guess what I'm doing with him. If not it'll be revealed in the next the chapter. But I just hope everyone likes the new character ^^
They had finally made it to the village, parking the van outside of the gate. The three of them were going to leave Seth in the van by himself, since he was still unconcious. But then, the omega was startled awake by his cellphone ringing. Finn was calling.
"Ah! What the fuck?" He looked around him, seeing that they weren't at the hospital anymore. "Where are we?"
"We're at the old village." Chris said.
Roman grabbed his phone from his pocket, answering it. As soon as he accepted the call, Finn started yelling.
"Seth, where the fuck are you?!"
"Its good to hear from you too, Finn." Roman said.
"Roman?! Where the fuck is Seth? Is he with you guys?"
"Hi alpha!" Seth said, greeting his mate.
"Seth! You went with them, didn't you?"
"Actually, he snuck in the van. We didn't realize he was with us until sometime during the trip." Roman explained.
"You're going to be the death of me. I'm going to be getting gray hairs at an early age."
"I'm sorry, Finn. But I had to go with them, and save Dean too. He's just as important to me as he is to Roman." Seth said.
"He'll be alright, Finn. I'm going to make sure nothing happens to him." Roman said.
"You just make sure my mate comes back unharmed. Seth, when you get back, I am making sure you never leave the house again. Since you like to worry me so much."
"What? You gonna lock me up in the basement?" Seth asked.
Finn growled into the phone. "You just bring your ass back home."
"Oh, he will." Chris said. "But he might have a few bullet holes in him."
"Wait, there are guns involved?!" Finn was about to argue with Seth more, but the omega turned off the phone.
"Good going, Chris. Now you got my alpha even more worried." Seth said.
"Whatever, come on." He said, getting out of the vehicle, along with the others. He went over to the back, opening up the trunk.
He handed a pistol over to AJ, and also to Roman. Roman had never used a gun before, but he knew some of the basics. Chris also had one for himself.
"So, um, what about me? What am I supposed to protect myself with?" Seth asked.
"You get these." Chris said, handing Seth a taser, and pepper spray.
"But, why do I get this stuff? How come I can't use a gun?"
"Knowing you, you would probably shoot yourself with it." Chris said.
Seth growled. "I may have never used a gun before, but I'm not stupid."
"Okay, enough." Roman interrupted them. "We can't just stand here arguing with each other. We need to get to Dean."
"Roman's right. If we waste any more time, that means that Dean gets hurt even more. So, lets go." AJ said.
The four of them walked through the gate. It was still light outside, but the sun was starting to set, and there was fog out too, which made the place more gloomy, and hard to see if there was anyone nearby.
Being in the village made everyone feel very uneasy, and nervous. A lot of awful crimes had been committed here, by the family that used to live here many years ago, and now Bray and his cult were doing the same to Dean.
They were walking through the woods now, near the river. They stopped for a moment, because they saw blood on the ground.
"I-is that...blood?" Roman asked.
"Looks like it." Chris said. "And still a bit fresh too."
"Shit. I hope they didn't kill him."
"I don't think they would. I think the Wyatts would want to keep him alive. He would be no good to them dead." AJ explained.
While the others were talking, Seth sensed something in the air. He noticed it was coming from near the waterfall. He walked away from the others, following the scent. It smelled familiar, almost like Dean's scent, except a little different.
He was now near edge of the river, and he saw something floating in the water near the rocks. He called out to the others. "Um, guys! You better get over here! I see something in the river!"
The other three ran up to him. Chris saw what he was looking at, and went in the water to grab whatever it was.
He came back to the others, holding a sack in his hand, which was covered in blood.
"W-what do you...t-think is in there?" Seth asked.
"Open it, Chris." AJ said.
Chris untied the sack. He looked inside to see what it was. He then looked back up at the others, his face grim. "Roman, I don't think you're going to like this."
"Whats in there?"
"Y-your pups are inside."
"What?! My pups?!"
"Y-yes..."
"Check to see if they're still alive."
Chris took them out of the sack. They were very cold, and didn't look to be breathing. He checked to see if there was a pulse on both of them, but there wasn't. "I-I'm afraid they're not...they're dead..."
"S-so the W-Wyatts just...c-cut Dean open?" Seth asked. "A-and they killed...the pups?"
"Fuck! Those sick bastards. I'll fucking kill them!" Roman growled. He took the two pups from Chris, cradling them in his arms.
Seth turned away from them, feeling sick to his stomach. He threw up in the bushes nearby.
"I...I am so sorry I couldn't make it in time to save you both..." Roman said, as tears fell down his cheeks. "I'll never forget you, I'll always love you both...y-your grandpa will take care of both of you..." He took off his coat wrapping the both of them up in it. "I...I promise...I will save your mother...I won't let anyone harm him ever again, after all this is over."
AJ placed his hand on his shoulder, offering him some comfort. Roman gave him a small smile to reassure him that he was okay. Upset, very angry, but a little bit okay.
It was darker out now, and Chris knew that they couldn't just go to where the Wyatts were staying at, without having an actual plan. "We need to get out of here."
"What do you mean? We have to keep moving." Roman said.
"We need to come up with a plan first, before we actually do anything. And plus it is dark out, and there is a fog. At this rate, we could be killed."
"I agree with Chris. We should come back when it is lighter out. By then the Wyatts might be in town, and we'll probably be dealing less of them when we come back."
"But if we wait longer then Dean could die!" Roman said. "My mate was cut open, probably lost a lot of blood by now, and who knows what else these sick fucks are doing to him!"
"Roman, we'll come back tomorrow. In the morning. Dean should be alright until then." AJ said.
"Plus we all need sleep. Need to get some energy in us. Come on, lets head back to the van." Chris said, motioning for the others to follow him.
Before following the others, Roman looked behind, staring out into the woods. Dean was somewhere nearby, he just knew it. He didn't like leaving him, but he knew he had no other choice. 'I'll come back for you, Dean. Just hold on.'
Not too far from him, in an old house, that was surrounded by the woods, was where his mate was. Dean laid on an dirty mattress, covered in multiple brusies, blood, and cum stains, shaking from the cold air.
He couldn't bring himself to move, because his body hurt all over. He was trying very hard to breathe, and his heart was getting weaker. He would die soon if no one came to help him.
'Roman...Roman...Roman...'
000000
They were staying a motel for the night. They would wait until morning to go rescue Dean. But Roman wasn't going to wait any longer. He needed to get to Dean now.
AJ and Chris were in another room, while he was sharing one with Seth. Hearing Roman move around woke the omega up.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm going back to the village, tonight. I need to get to Dean." The alpha said, grabbing the pistol, and a knife Chris had given him.
Seth sat up, yawning. "I thought we were gonna wait until morning?"
"I can't wait until then! Seth, I could sense his scent when we were in those woods, he was nearby. I was so close to my mate." Roman said. "His heartbeat...its getting weaker...If I don't get to him now, he could die. I have to go."
"Well, then I'm going with you."
"Seth, no..."
"I'm helping you rescue Dean whether you like or not. I'm his brother, I have to help him too."
"Alright, lets go then."
The two of them got out of the motel, going outside. Roman pulled out the keys to the van, unlocking the doors. He had stolen them from Chris earlier.
Roman started up the vehicle, while Seth was busy playing the radio. "I'm going to put some music on to the lighten the mood."
