Authors Notes: I love ice cream! Thats a fact, though Rhydian and Maddy not liking raw meat... that wasn't, I claimed they didn't because it made a good scene... in my head, I apologise for any inconvinience. ( I can't spell very well either.) Also I recommend people to read AzureEyedWolfs story 'She's really gone', great story, great writer, has basically written about my cousin (LOL).
We're Not Your Lab Rats!
"Dan, I'm going to find my daughter whether Jana approves or not!" Emma shouted at her husband as she began to walk away, her hands clenched and her teeth grinding against each other. They'd noticed Maddy's disappearance the day she'd actually disappeared, but when they went to ask Jana about it, she told them that Maddy had probably gone for a run and would be back soon enough. But that wasn't the case. They'd searched the packs territory all day and she was nowhere to be seen. Maddy knew better than to run off. Especially with the likes of Whitewood still out there, hunters and opposing packs lurking in the dark corners of the woods waiting to attack any unsuspecting 'lone' wolfblood. Dan picked up the pace slightly, for a short woman, Emma could move, of course it helped with her being overly worried and of course a wolfblood. Of course Maddy had distanced herself from her parents during the time they had left Stoneybridge and now. It was enevitable that she would've. After all, her first kiss with Rhydian could've been her last.
"Emma! We can't just leave the pack. We need to talk to Jana, or at least someone from the pack first." Dan tried, he grabbed his wifes wrist pulling her back with him towards where the main camp was set. Jana stood from her little perch on the top of a log, she nodded obviously hearing what her fellow teen wolfbloods parents had said. "Jana, please, she might be a wolf now but she is still our cub." Dan pleaded with the leader, correcting what Emma had earlier said.
"I know. But we have no idea of her whereabouts, we need to use eolas, its the only way we can find her." Jana explained to them, the rest of the pack joining them in a circle surrounding Jana. "Mrs Smith I know you don't agree with eolas but-" Jana was cut off as Emma spoke.
"Do whatever you must, just find her. Please." Her voice was quiet, and choked, she'd been holding back her tears of worry for too long and it was beginning to show. Dan wrapped an arm around Emma's shoulder both protectively and supportively. Jana nodded crouching down to the ground and feeling the damp earth under her fingertips, the rest of the pack watched her in wonder a few of the younger members of the pack watching in excitement, Jana smiled briefly as she turned her ead to the side swiftly, but jumped back in horror as she saw it. Maddy and Rhydian huddled up together in the corner of a dark room, tears streaming down Maddys clean face and Rhydians arms wrapped around her tightly, as if he was trying to keep her from something. Jana knew about Rhydian and Maddy. But seeing them together now was shocking and confusing. But then she came into view, with a syringe in hand and a terrified looking man behind her.
"What? What did you see?" Dan asked in worry, his own fear growing as the leader shock her head in disbelief and confusion. Her breathing quickened almost as if to say 'how could this happen' Dan pulled Emma into his chest and mumbled, "Sh-shes dead?"
Jana shock her head quickly, "No, but she is certainly in danger... Rhydian too." She announced, this gained Rhydians mother, Ceri's attention, she stepped out from within the crowd, shock and pain in her eyes, and they slowly turned a pale yellow, like the shock was causing her to become angry with fear and worry for her eldest son.
"What do you mean? Why would Rhydian be in danger? Wait... Maddy wouldn't have gone back to Stoneybridge, she wouldn't risk being taken away by-" Dan was cut off, his confusion written in the frown on his face.
"Whitewood? She has your daughter Mr Smith. Seems like Maddy really would've risked it. Not unless something else happened, but you tell me what else could've possibly happened?" Jana asked in frustration. Dan glared down at the young leader, but didn't dare fight her. She was the leader, alpha of the pack and everyone else would support her.
"Hunters?" Croaked Emma as she pulled away from her husband to look at Jana, "Whitewood could've hired a hunter... Maddy and Rhydian met a hunter a while back. Jana, Maddy may have been miserable and I know she is stubborn, but she is not stupid, and would not return to Stoneybridge willingly if it was dangerous. Please, use..." Emma trailed off trying to think of the word, but Jana nodded crouching down again.
Jana watched, Maddy's wolf was in her vision, and then she was shot and dragged away... by a hunter.
"You was right." Jana admitted, straightening up, turning to the rest of the pack, "Listen up! One of our own has been kidnapped by a human! Now this human is not like other humans. She is evil! She is using two wolfbloods as test subjects! We cannot allow this to happen!" Jana ordered, the pack began to rant, cheer, growl and howl, but Jana was not finished, "We cannot kill this human! BUT!" she added in time before the pack began to question her, "We can destroy her, and everything she stands for! But in order to do this we must keep our wolves locked away inside us until the job is done." Jana explained, it confused the pack a lot.
"Why should we do this?" Asked a young male wolfblood, he and Maddy had been close, but Maddy was always miserable no matter what he said or did. "The tame should've kept the secret from this human." He added, others cheered in agreement.
"Because they are one of us!" Ceri snapped from behind him, scaring the boy half to death, she walked closer to him and he backed away, "My son is one of them!" she added, Bryn running up to her side as if on cue, "My eldest son! He is one of them, he and Maddy are one of us! Our own kind! Would you really abandon your own kind?" she asked tilting her head to the side as if searching for a response. He cowered away under her glare.
"That mad woman had help! We did not plan for her to find out the way she had, but she did!" Emma shouted above all the argument, her voice overpowering the numerous debates, "Myself and Dan do not need your help to save them, but Maddy is my... and Dans cub-" Emma began looking over at Ceri. They'd become close over time. "And Rhydian is Ceri's." She added, "And we will do anything to make sure our cubs are safe." Emma finalised turning to Jana, "Thank you, but we can do this. We don't need the entire pack."
Ceri ran down from where she was to join Emma and Dan on their way back.
"So how exactly are we going to do this Emma?" Dan asked, hoping she had a plan.
"I don't know. But I will come up with something." She told him keeping her focus on running toward Stoneybridge.
Authors Notes: Crappy chapter, but it explains (kind of) what happens to Mr and Mrs Smith whilst they were gone. Really bad chapter I am very sorry, it is also very short... I am also very sorry for that... just sue me and get it over with.
