Aiden's POV

I sat on the stairs thinking for what seemed like an hour. Anna had to have been doing this but if she wasn't sleeping then the cuts probably weren't healing too quickly after all she wasn't an alpha. I looked up at my brother. "What type of knife was it?"

He shrugged at me. "I don't know. I could get Alison to take a look at it but I was thinking since I couldn't touch the blade of it that it has to be dipped in something like mountain ash. But it doesn't explain why when I cut her today in the woods why it would actually have hurt her. If she is doing this to herself then what I did shouldn't have done anything."

Peter looked between the two of us. "Get Danny to bring the knife to the Argents I am going to go over and see what they can find out about it. You two make sure she stays here or better yet take her and have the cuts looked at by Dean I want to make sure that they are okay and Aiden talk to her about this."

I nodded. "Okay you leave. I'll go wake her but first I want to find these cuts. Ethan you want to come with me?"

He nodded. "I'm sorry you had to hear that. I just wasn't too sure what to do about it really. I honestly hope I am wrong by what I seen that it's just her killing things and bringing them back to the room to eat."

I smiled at him walking into the room, she was still quietly sleeping on the bed. She looked so peaceful laying there not worrying about anything. "Ethan, I want her to stay this peaceful this is the way she was through the entire nap she has been having." I crawled onto the bed pulling her into my arms. She seemed to know that it was me as she just settled into my arms. I looked over at Ethan. "Check her legs and everything while I'm holding onto her. I don't think that she will wake up."

Ethan nodded pulling up her pant leg revealing several cuts and she started wake up and yelling.

"come comandante vuole"

I looked over at Ethan. "What the hell does that mean?"

He shrugged. "Should I try to get her to say it again and record it so that maybe we can see if Dean knows what it means when we take her to go see him?"

I nodded to him. It wasn't a language that I understood which means that it wasn't Spanish or English, which unfortunately leaves quite a few other languages. "Pull up her other pant leg, she will probably say it again."

Ethan pulled out his phone turning on the video mode ready pressing record he slowly pulled up her pant leg.

"come comandante vuole"

She sat up glaring at Ethan. "What are you doing?"

I turned her head so that she was looking at me. "Anna he was checking on something that I was hoping and praying wasn't true but seems like it is. You care to explain this to me? Danny found the knife you were using to do this, talk to me. Why would you hurt yourself like this?"

Shrugging before settling down on the bed again curling up into me. "Aiden can't we just sleep some more. I was actually getting some good sleep you were right it is helping but I need more. Can't you just let me get a few more hours?"

I shook my head looking at her. "Nope sorry. You can have some more tonight when we go to bed. But right now you need to go let Dean take a look at those cuts and make sure they aren't permanent. And I'm still waiting for an answer are you going to tell me why you did that in the first place?"

She shook her head at me. "Not with your brother here. Maybe after he leaves or when we are doing our homework tonight."

I nodded. "Ethan can you go downstairs and we will be down there in a minute I just have to ask her something, before we go and see Dean. And I also want to look at her shoulder. Or better yet call Dean and let him know that we are coming over there and make sure that Scott is there too."

Her eyes had turned to me. "We don't need Scott there."

I nodded. "Ya we do. If you go out of control we need an alpha there and Peter is preoccupied right now with something. Unless you are willing to wait for him to be finished then we can go or we stay here and call Derek to come but you have to listen to him."

She shook her head again. "No we don't need an alpha and we don't need to get them looked at they are fine. They bleed for a few minutes then they stop, so don't worry about it, they are nothing. Nothing for you to concern yourself with."

I shook my head at her. "Anna you can't win right now. So are we asking Scott to be there or are we calling Derek or are we waiting for Peter, those are your only options right now. Ethan and I can over power you we both were alphas at one point we still have that much strength with in us."

She shook her head. Laying down on the bed again. "Call Peter and find out how much longer he's going to be."

Ethan nodded going to the door. "Okay, I will do that. You two love birds try not to be making out when I get back okay?"

I smiled at him before throwing a pillow his way just missing him as he shut the door behind him. I turned my attention back down to her. "Now tell me something here, why have you been doing this?"

She looked up meeting my eyes. "I know you want to find out and I will tell you eventually but right now, I don't know it just seems to be like this. I don't want anyone walking in when we are talking and I doubt that your brother is going to be gone that long well long enough for me to tell you everything. Maybe tonight the two of us can go for a walk or something, say that I need to go outside for some air."

I nodded to her holding her close to me, kissing her hair smelling it. There was this scent that came off of her when she got scared or nervous about something and it was extremely strong. "Okay, tonight we can go for a walk or maybe even after we go back over to mine and Ethan's place where you are spending the night."

She nodded settling into me. "Okay, but can I get some more sleep now I'm still pretty tired? I don't want to move you are very comfortable to sleep on." She smiled up at me with a slight smirk on her face.

I laughed when Ethan walked into the room. "Okay so I'm happy to see that the two of you aren't making out when I got back. But Peter said that he can meet us there if she is willing to come with us nicely then it should be fairly easy. But if she was going to fight us then to just call Scott and he can deal with her that he is tired of fighting with her about getting things looked at." He glared down at her. "So are you going to come willingly or are we going to have to call Scott and get him to help us get the things on your legs looked at. I know that there are a few things that Peter wants to tell Dean about the knife when he is looking at the cuts. And this in no way means that you won't have trouble walking into his office but I need to know that you are willing to get them looked at properly and let him deal with your shoulder properly this time. I didn't mean to go that deep but it did go that deep and so you really should let him deal with it properly."

Anna nodded to him. "That is okay with me. I will try but I can't guarantee that my body doesn't fight you on this but I will try not to fight you on it. Well ..." she laughed for a second. "I won't fight Aiden."

Ethan smiled. "Well then let's get going. You want to ride with Aiden or are you going to ride with me?"

"Aiden" I knew she would be wanting to ride with me.

I nodded to her pulling her into my arms. "Okay let's get going to see Dean and find out what is happening to your legs and shoulder."

I pulled her up into my arms carrying her down stairs to the kitchen area then outside to my bike. I handed her a helmet she shrugged looking at me. "Okay I will put it on you. Do you really think that you have enough energy to hang on to me while we are driving to the office?"

She nodded. "Ya, I will be fine."

I got onto the bike taking off in seconds when I could feel her arms around me. When we got the office, I got off the bike and turned around to look at her. "You awake yet?"

She nodded. "Yes, I'm awake and scared stiff about what he is going to do. I can see Scott's bike here, I thought you said that you wouldn't call him."

Ethan shrugged. "Well he could be at work, I mean he does work here still. But there is Peter's car, so we should get in there." He pointed to the car. "I know it should be hard to believe but he does still work. I didn't call him to ask him to be here, I swear. I told Peter and that was it, you had asked me talk to him and that is the only person that I called."

I nodded. "Don't worry, Peter is the one that we are going to be dealing with."

Rewind – Peter's POV

I left the loft meeting up at with Danny at his house before going to the apartment where I can find the Argents.

Danny walked up to me holding a towel. "Here is the knife. I decided to wrap it up because when Ethan tried to touch it he seemed to pull away as if it hurt him when he tried to touch it. I don't know if the blade is made of something bad for you guys."

I knew that would make it even worse. I know if it was made of something like wolf bane it would be fine after all she was a cat, but I didn't know if they had an equivalent for cats. When I got to the Argents he was there, and he took the knife.

"You said that the leopard was using it on herself?" he asked with a smile.

I nodded. "We think so, Aiden and Ethan are trying to confirm that right now but anything you can tell me about the blade would be helpful."

He smiled taking it into his office. "Well let's have a look." He out it under a funny lamp and watched it spark. "Well that is most unusual. There are only a handful of metals that will do that." He walked away putting the blade down on the desk, going over to a book pulling it down off the shelf and opening it to a page. Showing it to me. "This is my best guess of what it is."

I looked at the page. It showed a picture of the knife and a bunch of writing in another language. "I can't read this, Argent."

He smiled. "Of course, you can't." He took a breath turning the book to himself. "It says that there were 15 created, each given to a Master of a race and then to be passed down to their most demanding submissive masochist. It states that this blade won't hurt them, but they are commanded to use it on themselves to prove to the master that they are worthy to be the one with the gift."

I glared at him. "What gift?"

Argent just shrugged. "It doesn't say what the gifts were or what they are now. Sorry about that."

I smiled as my phone went off. I looked down to see that it was Ethan calling. Bringing the phone to my ear. "What Ethan?"

'Hey, no need to be snappy with me. We looked at her legs and they are covered with cuts though she won't explain how or why she is doing this.'

I sighed. "Okay, well that is kind of expected. But why are you calling me?"

'Well Aiden has talked her into actually getting her cuts and shoulder properly looked it and we have said that there needs to be an alpha around for this. She doesn't want Scott, we think she might accept Derek if she has to, but she has said that she is fine with you if you are almost done there.'

Looking over at Argent we were pretty much done. "Here is the deal if she is going to come nicely with you guys to Dean's office then I will meet you there. However, if she is going to fight then you might as well call Scott, I'm done fighting with her on things today." I could practically hear him smiling into the phone.

'I doubt she will fight Aiden. Those two have gotten closer she even was saying that she was tired enough that she wanted more sleep. Though I don't know if her body will fight us. Worse case we could possibly have Dean come to the loft if we had to.'

"Let's try his office first. If we can't get that to work and it would be easier at the loft, then we will move there. But I'll leave now and meet you three at his office."

'Okay see you there in a few.'

With that he hung up. Turning my attention back to Argent, "Can you photocopy a translated page please? I'm going to take it to Dean and see what he thinks. This is more his area of expertise."

He smiled going to the computer and printing off a page before handing it to me. "This is all I have on this weapon. If it is one of the original 15 and she is one of the ones with a gift, then she might be able to help us out here."

I nodded, "you can hang onto that for me for a bit, make sure no one gets their hands on it. The last thing I need is for it to become public knowledge that we have one of the 15 here in Beacon Hills."
