Chapter 6

RPOV

Riiiiing...

"Make it stop, Quinn."

A mumbled reply and the phone smashed against the wall.

"Not like that." Her voice – though stern – sounded very uninterested in the well-being of the phone.

Riiiiing...

"How many phones do you have, Quinn?"

"Quite a few."

Riiiiing...

"Ugh."

Riiiiing...

Rashel couldn't stand it anymore. It was 2.30 in the morning, an unhealthy time for anyone to be awake, much less making phone calls.

She practically ripped Quinn's phone from the drawer. Quinn could care less about the mistreatment of his soon-to-be second dead phone.

"What?"

You could hear the fear from the other end of the phone.

"Rashel?" Ash.

"What do you want? I was – like the rest of us, sane people – SLEEPING!"

"Rashel, I found Keller."

"YOU WHAT?"

Somewhere in Boston –

"Not again!"

Back to Thierry's mansion –

"Where. Is. She?" Rashel was suddenly torn between hugging her sister or slapping her for managing to be found by Ash...at two in the morning.

QPOV

So while Rashel was talking to the phone with some random dude...wait, some random dude talking to Rashel? Something wrong here?

Who is it? Quinn mouthed.

She placed a hand over the phone and said, "wait."

Quinn sighed. Rashel loved being difficult with him.

Rashel, who is it?

He hadn't bothered to mouth it to hear. She could hear perfectly fine...in her head.

She shot him a glare. "'Kay, we're coming right now." And she slammed the phone against the desk, destroying its screen.

"Damnit, Rashel, who was that?"

"Quinn, be patient for once in your life."

"WHO WAS THAT?"

"I'M NOT TELLING! I'LL GO BY MYSELF IF I HAVE TO!"

Quinn just stared at her.

"Yeah, that's right. I'll go meet Ash by myself if I have to."

She probably had no idea how wrong that sounds to a boyfriend / soulmate.

"Where is he?" His voice was casual. The crazy actor that he was.

"Blaise Harman's store. And before you get any smart ass ideas about – "

Before she could blink, Rashel was tied to the bed with blankets.

"BYE, KITTY!"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT! AND IF YOU WEREN'T SO DIMWITTED, YOU WOULD'VE HEARD WHAT ASH SAID! YOU'RE A DAMNED VAMPIRE, FOR THE LOVE OF PETE'S SAKE!"

He was already at Galen's door yelling, "GALEN! GET YOUR LAZY ASS UP! WE'RE GOING TO FIND THAT STUPID ASS OF A BEST FRIEND!"

"QUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINN! I'M NEVER GONNA TALK TO YOU AGAIN!" Rashel had no idea how serious she sounded, either.

"AFTER WE UNTIE RASHEL!"

"Why are you yelling?" Galen asked curiously. Quinn stopped short at Galen's voice. It was hoarse, and it sounded empty. Lifeless. It found life meaningless.

Quinn had to struggle to level his voice. "Dunno. Let's go to Blaise's store now."

"Quinn!"

"After we untie Rashel."

"Good idea." Quinn was really glad when he saw a tiny, barely noticeable-unless-you-were-a-vampire smile on Galen's face. Good old Galen would always want to help people. Even if he didn't know what the problem was.

"Quinn, stop it."

"No."

"Quinn." Dangerous voice.

"No." It made Rashel even more angry when she saw a smirk on Quinn's face.

"Quinn."

Rashel was being tied – again, though this time against the front seat of a car – who knows what car, there were so many in Lord Thierry's mansion – and slow enough that she could see Quinn tying her. His face barely inches from hers.

He was so doing this on purpose.

"Don't make me gag you."

"If you do, I won't tell you about Keller." She saw how his face froze.

"Go on, gag me."

But she couldn't see Galen.

He practically pushed Quinn aside to ask her.

"What happened?"

She hadn't seen Galen this worked up since...a few days ago, when Keller left.

She told him what Ash told her, which wasn't much anyway.

"Wait. I'll come with you."

GPOV

While Quinn was doing the craziest driving in anyone's life, Galen was ready to leap out as a leopard...which he couldn't. It was Las Vegas. But still.

He was just that happy to find Keller.

When they reached Blaise Harman's store, he could barely contain his excitement. It was all he could do to not rush up to the door and demand for Keller.

The sound of bells welcomed them into the store and signaled for Blaise.

Well, they were expecting Blaise, so it was a shock when Winnie came out, with her frock of strawberry hair and flashing green eyes.

Her eyes widened and her mouth became and 'O' before she cried, "Nissa!"

Nissa came out and her eyes narrowed at Iliana, who had demanded that they bring her, too. Rashel and Quinn had objected with so much force that the earth could fall off the orbit.

Iliana looked down and shuffled her feet.

"Winnie, where's Keller?" Galen didn't have time for pettiness. His soulmate was so close. So close, and he couldn't reach her.

"She doesn't want to see you." Nissa's answer was harsh, not even trying to put it delicately. Her usually soft voice was hard now. And her eyes were angry, spiteful. "You have no idea what she's been through. She doesn't even say two words in a day! And now you barge in here and just demand to see her? We won't let you."

"Danged right 'bout that, Nissa." Winnie put in helpfully, her tone just as harsh, if not more.

"ASH!"

"Shut up, Quinn."

"Yes, Kitty."

"I'll be right back," Ash's voice was soft, and then he came out and said, "what?"

"What's wrong with Keller?"

Ash shot a glance and Nissa and Winnie, who both shook their heads, and he looked at Quinn apologetically.

"Sorry. It's not my place to tell."

"Whose?"

"Mine." Blaise Harman...was drunk. Definitely drunk. But she looked on the edge of having common sense and living in a world of fantasy.

"May I please go see Keller?" Galen pleaded. Blaise Harman was in charge here (if only because it was her store and she could kick them out) and he needed to see Keller.

She looked at him with her gray eyes, which were more like stopped smoke when they were drunk then when she was somber.

She tilted her head toward the door she came from and said, "Mary-Lynette, come out. The prince wants to go in."

So this isn't much, but there's going to be some Ash x Mary-Lynette and Quinn x Rashel next chapter. Also, this FanFict is gonna end soon. In maybe one or two chapters, three if I can think of something.

R + R, guys!
