Isabel POV

It wasn't long before they started talking. I felt incredibly guilty, but i gave them the option. We'd even separated them, telling both of them their partner was dead and that they were next. But it was necessary.

I was leaning against basement table when the upstairs door opened. Gregory, the chattier of the two tensed, his heart sky rocketing erratically. I eyed Brandon, who glanced at the beaten human with a sort of amused look. "We found Dr. Burkov's house, his family history, medical records. Unfortunately, his research facility is at an undisclosed location," he said, handing me about half a dozen papers. Some had pictures or current close family relatives. I noticed his teenage daughter that still lived with him. His son was married, and currently living outside of Russia.

I glanced at Gregory, "do you have any coordinates to share?"

He trembled a little, "that's classified, only the captain knew. We were just supposed to follow."

"The fuck? You were airlifted out of there, how can you not know where your own military base is?" he let out a shaky breath now, shaking like a leaf. Brandon gave me a sort of odd look, like he was both surprised and impressed.

"We were told this morning what our orders were. We were lifted from the military based, the research facility was located somewhere else. We weren't told what the end destination was," he said his gaze flickering from Brandon to me.

"Where's the military base?" i asked, eyebrows raised. Chances were there be an office there with the location of the research facility.

Once he gave us the coordinates for the base, we went onto to other subjects. "What do they want with us?"

"They aren't here for you exactly," he said nervously, even more so then before.

"What are you talking about?" i asked eyes narrowed. I had a very bad feeling now.

"We were commissioned to find a specific werewolf. Um," i groaned, "Luna."

I sifted through the papers as i struggled to keep myself calm and he stuttered the entire time i did so. "We didn't know exactly who she was. W-we were just given photos of her. We were al-also given physical characteristics of her second form."

I closed my eyes, turning away from him suddenly. I gripped the ledge of the table and the wood came apart after a moment of heavy breathing. I heard him whimper slightly behind me, and i took a deep breath, letting the crushed wood fall from my hands. It clattered to the floor.

"Do you know why?" i asked, trying to keep the rage from my voice, and failing in the process. The government had hunted down my fucking sister. Every single person who had something to do with that was very much dead. I wasn't going to be the only person that felt that way either.

"No, th-they know she isn't a n-normal werewolf," i left, turning the light off behind me.

I got upstairs, everyone waiting expectantly and i felt my fists clench and unclench. "They were sent to get Luna specifically, they know she isn't normal," i ground out and then left the living room.

"Isabel, wait, hold on," Nate said rushing after me. He spun me around and i glared, eyes flashing angrily. "Were all angry, but we need you focused not pissed off. You need to calm down and think rationally." That just sent me over the edge.

I hit him. He went down, covering his mouth and then the others filed in. "What the hell Isabel," Adam said angrily, rushing to Nate's side and kneeling beside him.

I just glared even more and stormed out of the house. I got into the car, pulling out of the driveway and just drove. Who were they to tell me to calm down? My mate and my sister have been stolen from me by Russian scientists! God knows what kind of condition they'll be in by the time we finally get to them.

We had to go all the way to some military base, pray none of us dies attacking it. Someone was bound to get hurt, and then we had to find the location or a remote research facility and who knows what kind of weapons they have. Who knows what might be wrong with them already. They could be tortured, or worse, experimented on, which was liklier then the former. I mean, what else could a bunch of scientists want with werewolves? Reform them to captivity, put them in a zoo? Doubtful.

What if we got them back and there was irrepairable damage, what if someone died? Holy shit, what if one of them was already dead?

I came to a park, having gripped the steering wheel so tightly it dented into two hand prints. "Fuck!" i shouted, punching the dashboard and effectively shoving my hand through it. The car shut off instantly, and i glared hatefully. "Son of a bitch!" i shouted just as loudly when it didn't come back on. I had liked this car.

A moment later, startling me out of my rage and ranting, smoke lifted from the seams of the hood. "Uh-oh," i mumbled, unbuckling my seat belt. Then flames started lifting from beneath the metal.

"Crap," i tugged again at the belt, it didn't budge, "oh crap." I pulled again and then just ripped it as hard as i could. My hand shot upwards as the metal rod came apart and i hit my knuckles on the window.

I glanced back through the window shield, which was covered in flames and smoke. I pulled at the door handle, and i continued pulling when it too didn't open, "of freaking course." I hesitated when i reached for the car keys. Somehow hitting that little innocent seemed like a horrible idea.

"To hell with this," i muttered and punched the window. I crawled out, cutting my side on some of the glass. I staggered up, staring for a moment and then i took off running in the opposite direction of the car. A moment later it exploded and wave swept through the air, sending me sprawling to the ground.

I turned, watching a cloud of smoke and fire hit the sky. Then i watched as a rod fell from the air and down on me. I rolled, and it struck down where i had been less then a second ago. I stumbled up heart pounding, as my wide eyed gazed stayed on the seat belt rod.

I turned slowly, "my car," i whispered watching hopelessly as the beautiful vehicle burned up. I looked around, unsure of where i was. I couldn't shift because there might still be soldiers running around in the woods. Well this sucked.

I sighed, pulling my hood up and began walking. I crossed my arms, sighing yet again as it began to pour.

I had been walking for about ten minutes when another car pulled up. I stared at it uneasily, wondering why it looked so familiar. The black car came to a stop, and Angela rolled down the window. "Need a lift?"

"Yes, thank you," i said relief flooding through me. The last thing i needed was a wolf hunt when they realized my car was now dead and gone.

"Is that your car back there?" she asked frowning.

I pouted a little, nodding, "yeah, that was my car, or the family car, whatever."

"Yikes, glad you got out of there," she said giving me a small smile. "So where have you been the last while? Your never in school, Charlie said you moved out."

"Yeah, my sister kind of reappeared and we moved in together in La Push," i said getting a little guarded.

"I didn't think Charlie had any other children," she said giving me an odd look.

Oh shit, i so did not want to deal with this crap right now. Come up with some elaborate lie and then convince her and everyone else who came asking. I settled on just telling the truth, Angela was trustable and if i asked her to keep it to herself, i got the feeling she would. Unless of course someone had a gun on her, but i didn't see that happening anytime soon.

"He doesn't, Charlie's not my father Angela," her eyes went wide and she just grinned.

"I know, i just wanted to see if you'd lie about it or not," i blinked, as her words registered in my mind.

"How could you know something like that?" i asked suspiciously.

"I've seen Isabella, Charlie's real daughter, i've met her," she said amused, "my family isn't all that average either."

I gazed at her darkly, taking in her scent as i deciphered the little puzzle in front of me. She waited for me to figure it out on my own, "you smell human."

"You do too," she said amused. I rolled my eyes, of course i'd smell human to another human. They've described us as having a slightly earthy somehow warm smell. Probably all the heat we give off. Vampires, like Edward, tended to smell sort of sweet, or like oranges, it differs.

But still, Angela remained silent, waiting for me to figure it out on my own. I came up blank, finally she said in exasperation, "use your Sight Bella."

"My what?" i asked frowning confused, then i clued in, "your a witch?"

"I'm a Seer, there's a big difference," she said a little offended.

Seers, Witches of every varity, the Psi's and Sangs, yeah, they didn't get along much. Because to the human world, and generally in our world, they all fell under the same title, 'Witch'. Then it branched off into sub-categories, like the term 'Shifter' was pretty general, which is where the La Push pack, my Pack and even those who can turn into other people, it was more of a Glamour, but it all felt and looked real. Didn't smell real though. Scents never change, at least not by much.

"Use your Sight to see me," i felt my forehead crease as i struggled to understand what exactly she meant. Did she mean the whole aura thing i kept getting. Which was appearing more and more, and yet always left after i got a good look at it. I wonder if there was a way to block that, it was really confusing sometimes.

She pulled over and i felt my guard go up even more. She wouldn't attack me, she must know i'm stronger then her. I still felt as though i could trust her, as much as you could trust a human. But she was a Seer, so that changed things a little.

"I'm not a witch," i said frowning.

"No, but you have Sight, i know you do, you and your sister do. Concentrate, try to see me, all of me," i frowned uncertain of what she was asking. See her? "Bella, it's not that hard to do. Just breathe, focus on seeing everything about me. Everything. Just let it come naturally."

"First i need to know how you know, no one knows but Luna, and she's," i lost my breath a little, gut clenching as i thought of my sister. I needed my sister.

"I know, she's gone. i saw it, but try it'll be easier to find your sister, just baby steps," i remained skeptical. But i said i would try this, so what the hell.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Whenever i needed to focus and relax at the same time, i closed my eyes first. The idea was contradictory. Concentrating and relaxing were not words that generally went together.

I let out a low calming breath as i locked onto my other senses, taking in every sound around me. The light purr or the engine, the rain tapping away, the sounds of the waves from the ocean. Then i inhaled a little, gathering the smells around me. Angela's pomegranate shampoo, her coconut lotion, and the smell of food, probably from earlier today.

I took another breath, and as i exhaled, i opened my eyes. There she was, just sitting there patiently watching me curiously. But i could see her, really see her. She had a slight golden shadow around her, sort of pulsating on her. I watched it jumble a little, as if there were waves causing it to move. But it wasn't a strong golden, sort of a faded yellow, but it had that gentle shine about it. This was the longest the aura had ever formed.

A moment it later it just blinked out, i continued to stare though. "You said i can find my sister with the Sight?"

"Perhaps, but as far as your power goes, you can't track her from long distances. Once your probably within the same area, just follow her, search out her aura, her wolf might be easier considering that's more spiritual then your sister herself," i nodded in agreement. Luna wasn't much for spiritual unless you pushed her to come to term with that kind of stuff. She'd been surprisingly accepting of her recent changes.

"Why are you helping the Arizona pack, there's a hit out on us," i said all over suspicion setting in. A Seer would know something like that.

"Bella, were friends, at one point we were best friends," she said, a hurt look in her eyes. "My family doesn't mess with the politics of the Otherworld. My brother married a girl named Marabeth from the reservation about twelve years ago and she had twins. Cassandra and Casson, there missing."

"Missing," i repeated, unsure of what she was getting at.

"i saw Cassie last night in a dream, she's locked in some kind of building, she shifted for her first time the day your sister and the others were taken. Can you help her?"

I was at a loss for words now. She had a shape shifter niece and nephew that had been taken with Luna and Edward. "Is that all you know?" i asked uneasily.

"I know you and your sister aren't normal werewolves, please, find her, i know you can," she said pleadingly, eyes watering.

I hesitated, "alright, Angela, i'll bring her home, but i can't guarantee what kind of condition she'll be in."

She nodded give me a wobbly smile and then pulled me into a tight hug. "Thank you Bella, really, i-," she cut out letting out a slight sob, and i tightened my embrace a little. "Just, just thank you, for trying."

"I'll bring her home, no matter what," i vowed, "i'll bring them all home."

Luna POV

I woke up back in my cell. Cassie was hovering over me and i frowned a little. "Are you okay, you dont look very good," she said, forehead creasing with worry.

"Now that you mention it," i said, flying off the bed and almost knocking her over in the process. I went straight for the toilet, vomitting heavily. Mostly water and stomach acid though. That tasted horrible.

She hovered over me and i gave her a small smile. Then that stupid commanding voice that made me want to rip their throat out sounded. "Separate, face opposite walls."

We did so, after i gave her an encouraging smile. The door opened, revealing a doctor of some sort. "Promise to behave, im the only one keeping you alive right now."

I turned to him, crossing my arms with a void unimpressed look on my face. "You really think so, dont you?"

He just gave me a smile, "i've inserted a new gene therapy, it's had fantastic results on human subjects. And extraordinary results on you."

I moved instantly, rushing him and shoving him up against the wall, gripping his throat. I lifted him off the ground, and his oxygen vanished. He gripped my hand and a red dot appeared on my shirt. I didn't move at all. I just gave him a cool amused look, leaning forward to whisper in his ear, "now listen very carefully little human. Your nothing, if not mad. I am not a subject for you to toy with, none of us is. I can assure you there will be legions of armies against you just for thinking of experimenting on Others. Everyone in this building, anyone who has ever helped your cause, is going to be tracked down and we are going to rip their limbs off, one by one."

"You'll die without my help," he choked out, "the lesions in your mind are unstable. You'll die without this."

A small silver canister about the size of a mars bar clattered to the ground noisely. I set him down slightly, keeping a grip on him. "What is that?"

"It's what keeps the new gene cells in check, it's administed on a daily basis, without it, the cells mutate, and eventually kills the host, you'd die faster if you haven't been on it for at least a month," i narrowed my eyes at it slightly. I had felt unusual the moment i had woken up. But i couldn't place how exactly. It was like the oddest clarity, the moment that door opened and revealed a doctor, i knew exactly what i was going to do.

"What have you done to the others?" i asked turning back to him. I felt my eyes flash dangerously and he shook a little bit.

"Just the blonde girl, we've given her a cell change that gives her the ability to use feral sight," he said uneasily.

"Feral sight?" i repeated, not knowing what that meant at all. "Cats?"

"Yes, the sight of a panther, it'll allow her to see things the way they wood, it's to enhance further senses as well," i shook my head in disgust and then shoved him at the guards. I got the feeling i wouldn't get the chance to touch him again without being shot.

Cassie rushed at me, wrapping her arms around me, and i kept her under my right arm. "What do you want now?" he just gestured at the canister.

I lifted it up, and i pushed in the end, and at the other end, it opened up, revealing the inside of five smalls holes. I could see something beneath it. "Press it to your forearm and hit the plunger," he ordered, looking much more like a doctor and less so a scared human.

I stared at i in distaste, but did so anyways. I cringed at the feeling it send through me, and it left five puncture wounds in a cirle, the size of a dollar. I tossed it at them glaring darkly. I couldn't even trust what he was saying, but i didn't seem to have a lot of options. I also didn't feel like being dosed up with drugs again. Though in hindsight, i was glad they had been strong enough to keep me out.

"If you'll follow me you'll be allowed to eat with the other wolf," relief flooded through me, and i nodded once.

A dozen men surrounded us, though again, they allowed Cassie to stay with me. We were lead through a series of steel doors and hallways before coming to a set of double doors. They entered a code and we were released into what looked like a big white cafeteria/rec room. Paul sat at a table just glaring at the plate of food in front of him when he turned to us.

He stood instantly, knocking over the chair and rushed us. I let go of Cassie as he barreled into me. I laughed a little, calm flowing through me as it always did at his touch, but my eyes watered a little.

He buried his head in my hair, mumuring my name over and over again. "Are you okay, i smell blood," he said, and then just shook his head and kissed me hard. I wrapped my arms around him, kissing him just as passionately, all of my fears melting away for the moment.

We broke away, both of us panting heavily and he gave me a last chaste kiss before, guiding me over to the table and nodding at Cassie to join us. She just looked amused having watched the very intense reunion.

"They've put something in me, um some kind of gene experiment, i dont know," i said shaking my head. He was keeping me in his arms and on his lap so i felt him tense instantly. "They've done it on humans before, to make better soldiers, by the sounds of it."

"They want you for the army?" he asked skeptically.

"I dont think so, they want me cooperative, but our kind doesnt work that way. I dont feel cooperative at all," he snorted slightly.

"When are you ever?" he asked rolling his eyes but smiling a little.

"Well the only thing they succeeded in doing is pissing me off, and," i leaned forward, grabbing one of the chocolate chip muffins laid out in front of me, "very hungry."

He chuckled, kissing my neck and shoulder, before taking his own muffin. Cassie was eating everything she could get her hands on. "So who else is a wolf?" she asked, eating some of the pasta.

"We can't share that kind of thing here. You'll meet everyone when we go home," i reassured her.

"When are we going home?" she asked quietly.

"When i come up with a plan, just give me some time to think," i said giving her a smile. "We'll get out of here."

"You sure about that? I've scented over fifty different guards so far, and this place is huge," he muttered quietly, i could barely hear him and i was on his lap.

I spoke back just as silently, "but you never took an elevator to get here. Were all on the same level, i dont know about the Cullen's. But i just need to feel out the place before i can make a good plan."

"What can i do to help?" he asked, kissing my shoulder and speaking into my hair.

"Count the number of doors you see, how many doctors you see or hear and try and figure out how many people may be above us and below us," i mumbled back behind the muffin. Cassie was just looking at us weirdly. "And if you can, try and memorize the codes for the doors, maybe the doctors, they probably have some kind of master key code, and if not, a metal disk thin enough to fit into the crack of a door."

"Oh is that all?" he asked sarcastically.

I just grinned, turning and straddling his lap. "If anyone can help me," i said, kissing him hard. I would take every moment i got with him, despite the crappy situation because things could go south very quickly.
