Valentina sat in a bage lounge chair facing us, and the rest of the Mai's. After discussing the plan, everyone was ready to go. Alek was holding my hand, squeezing it every now and then. It was comforting. Everyone was about to leave, when our gaze was suddenly diverted to the windows. In the distance a cloud of smoke was rising above the tall sky scrapers. On closer inspection it wasn't clouds of smoke, but clouds of dust. Building's were being destroyed. It had begun.

3 HOURS LATER:

I had lost everyone in the escape from Valentina's. The Order where everywhere, but i wouldn't let them get to me. Our beloved homes were nothing more than burnt buildings now. I could hear fighting all around us. Both Mai's and members of the Orders last breaths. I didn't know where Alek was, but i kept on telling my self he was ok. I could just feel it somehow, it was the bonding for sure.

"You're the Uniter aren't you?" A dark haired man wearing a grey t-shirt advanced toward me, flinging is arm to contact with the right side of my head. I blocked him, and punched him in the gut. Valentina said to keep no survivors, but as i gazed into this man's eyes with my claws fully retracted i couldn't help but let him go.

"Get out of here." The man stood up bewildered, as i spoke. "You should probably tell you're little friends that the Uniter saved you're life today." And with that the man took of running.

"Chloe!" A voice rang over the noised streets. I turned with my combat stance, ready to pounce at any moment. It was Jasmine. I gave her a gigantic hug as soon as she was in reach.

"Oh my Gosh! Jas!" I wouldn't let the tears fall, but i was glad that she was here. Jasmine looked recked. She had blood stains all over her arms, torso and face. She caught me looking.

"It's not all mine." Jas said sternly as she looked at her arms. I nodded.

"Have you heard from.."

"He's safe. But we have to get moving. Alek said he'd meet us where we think they are holding you're mother." It wasn't up for discussion. Jasmine and i ran off, as fast as we could manage destroying any member of the Order in our path. We rounded the corner to a large house, set a top a hill. There were raw iron gates surrounding the mansion, with guards on either side. It was Brian's house.

"How are we going to get in?" Alek's voice rang from behind us. When we turned i couldn't help but throw my arms around his neck, kissing him fiercely. As i realized him from my embrace i couldn't help but smile at Jasmine reaction. She looked disgusted.

"There are secret passages into the house." I blurted out, grabbing Jasmines arm before she was about to leap over the iron gate.

"And you know this how?" Alek asked as he brushed a piece of hair away from my eyes.

"This is Brian's house. He told me once how he used to sneak out when he was younger. There should be an entrance not that far from where we are."

"Sewer entrance?" Jasmine asked unhappily. I shook my head.

"Not exactly."

We ran to the spot i thought the hidden entrance would be. It was there. The entrance wasn't anything special just a hidden tunnel. But as Alek lowered us in i couldn't help but ask.

"Shouldn't we wait for back up?" I said as my vision became clearer in the darkness. Alek was shaking his head.

"We don't have time. Plus everyone else is occupied, either trying to clear the city of humans or destroying the enemy." Alek said, as he grabbed my hand and walked us towards the house. The secret entrance came up in a bedroom. The room was occupied.

"Chloe? Is that you?" It was Brian. He helped us remove the piece of flooring which was blocking our access into the house.

"Hey Brian." I said as he helped me out of the whole.

"Chloe!" He exclaimed as he brought me into a hug. Alek cleared his throat behind us, as is stepped away from Brian. Alek gave Brian and acknowledging head nod, then quickly surveyed our surroundings.

"You're locked in." Jasmine said, after she tried every door. Brian nodded.

"For about two day's now. Dad went on this rampage throwing things and cussing. He locked me in here for my 'protection' he said." Brian did the inverted hand gesture.

"Protection from what?" I asked, regretting the question after it had left my lips.

"You."

"We wouldn't hurt you Brian." There was no point in denying what we are, the whole city probably the rest of the country was in complete anarchy.

"I know you wouldn't." Brian took a step towards me, as Alek pushed me behind him.

"There is no need for this." I said firmly to Alek, stepping out from behind him. "We need to get out of here. Brian if you are locked in your room, then mum must be locked in another. Do you know where they might have taken her?" Brian thought about this for a second.

"I heard some of the guards mentioning how a woman wouldn't eat on the second floor. Could be her i guess."

"Great!" I said clasping my hands together. "How do we get out of here?"

"well there are guards on every door. But they do change shifts. The best way would be to lock the guards in this room, unconscious of course." Brian said.

"Sounds good to me. Who know's how to open a locked door?" I looked between Jasmine and Alek. The both let out a large sigh before moving towards one of the doors. Releasing one of their claws on either hand, in a matter of second they had the door open. Quietly they peered out, before grabbing the guard on each door and pulling them into the room. Before the guards were able to shout a carefully placed blow to the head was conducted on each of them. We tied them up, and placed a sock in each of their mouths to keep them quiet for at least a while. Slowly we moved outside the room, taking out a few more guards as we did. When we made it to the second floor, it was easy to figure out which room mom was in. The one with all of the guards. Alek moved first, knocking out the guard to the right with a kick to the head. Jasmine moved next running swiftly up the wall finishing with a round kick to the other guards face. They were out. I burst through the bedroom door running into my mothers arms.

"Chloe?" My mom exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around me.

"No time to explain. We have to get you out of here." I grabbed her by the hand, running back down to Brian's room with everyone else close behind me. I outstretched my arm to stop any advancements. Brian's room was open and the guards we had nocked unconscious were up and walking. I turned to Brian.

"Quick! Another exit?" I whispered at him. Brian nodded, running back up the stairs and down the hallway. We had made our way to the third story when he stopped at a small door in the wall.

"Its a rubbish shoot, more like a slide really. To the outside."

"Oh hell no!" Jasmine said.

"You already smell like shit Jas. Some rubbish isn't going to make you smell any worse." Alek said with a smug smile. Jasmine went first, just to make sure everything was ok. Then Mom, then Brian and lastly me. We ended up at the back of the house, running as quickly as we could up the hill.

"I'd stop moving if i was you." A voice rang over a loud speaker. "There are snipers everywhere, and they are trained to shoot."

"WHAT THE FUCK!" I said as i stopped moving. I surveyed the surroundings but couldn't see anything. "Where are they?" I asked everyone. I looked at Brian, he was looking upwards.
