P.O.V. Gilly

She didn't know what to say, she never expected to see them again. What if they told the Lords? She didn't what to be found. She looked down at herself to see she was wearing one of the robes angels used.

" Please tell me they don't know." Gilly said, her voice cracked at the end, her eyes avoiding there's.

" Told you she didn't want to be found baby." Said Bianka.

" No one knows." Lysander said walking towards her. She let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding.

" How long have I been out?"

" Four days."

" How long were you in Tartarus?" He sat down next to her " Why? And how'd you escape?"

" Eight months after my twenty-first birthday-"

Bianka whistled, " Sixteen months in Tartarus and you're human. Damn."

" Why did you leave and where did you go?" asked Lysander ignoring Bianka.

Blake told her that the best lies have the most truth so she said that she's been living in Russia with a friend since she left and he helped transition from her old life to her new one until someone came to attack the house and took her, as for how she left Tartarus; one of the guards freed everyone. She didn't want anyone to know she was a witch and an immortal just yet. Gilly didn't wanted to ask but she did anyway. " How are the Lords and everyone else?"

Bianka is the one who answered me saying " Good. Lucien and Anya are getting married in a couple days. The twins just turned five; they're causing trouble and hate each other-" Bianka filled her in on everything that had happen in the last five years with the hunters, Galen, and Kane but never asked Gilly any questions. When Bianka finished she said not to worry she won't tell anyone and to get some rest also that the cloud is at her command but right before leaving she turned around and said " Everyone one would love to see you but the choice is yours."

Gilly has been thinking about what Bianka said for the last three days she's been here. Today is the day of the wedding but she still didn't know what to do, well on another note these clouds are amazing. The first thing she asked for was for no one to be able to find her expect Lysander and Bianka, next even though she was clean because of the robes she still felt dirty and asked for a marble bathtub and it appeared, next was new clothes and ta-da it appeared. Everything she needed for no one to ever think she was in Tartarus. Should I go or not? If I do go what do I say? Hey it's been five years since I last you here's a wedding gift? Bianka said the wedding is in Hawaii at night because of Scarlet and her sunlight problem but what if they didn't want to see her. She sat in the tub debating what to do while washing her body and hair with vanilla scented body wash. It's amazing how much hair can grow in sixteen months; it's now down to my hips. Focus! Should I go or not? Can I forgive myself knowing I purposely missed Anya and Lucien's wedding? She got out of the tub and asked the cloud for a dress because she's going to a wedding.

P.O.V. William

William somehow is the best man at the wedding and he had to give a speech, which Anya said if he messed up she'd cut off his favorite anatomy. I wonder what Gilly would wear to the wedding? Urg! Stop thinking about her! . . . maybe she's married and her husband was pleasuring her and hearing her moan his name or maybe she's getting married today too and- Stop! Thinking about her! you can only think about Gilly five times a day and you though about her five times in the last three minutes. William had to admit the wedding looked beautiful with rose petals all over the floor and tiki sticks lighting the way to the arc in which Anya would become his sister- in-law. I need a drink. He went to the bar where the other Lords were laughing.

" Lucien you're not going to like this but I think I saw bait." Said Torin before William could ask for a drink, as always Torin is wearing gloves.

" Where?" asked Lucien

" Around the volcano."

Sabin patted his back " Don't worry man, me and Paris will take care of it."

Lucien nodded. His face turning a bit grim.

" I'll go too." William said thinking this will distract his mind from Gilly.

P.O.V. Gilly

I can't do it. It felt wrong for her to just appear after five years of being gone.

" Are you sure that Torin saw something?" Gilly knew that was Paris talking which is not good because that meant they weren't far behind. Everything was fine until her heel broke against the hard lava with a loud crack!

" Someone's here." Said Sabin.

Great just great she took off her shoes and went back to the cloud but not before Paris saw her.

It's been three days since the wedding and since Lucien hasn't found her then that means Paris didn't recognize her but you change a lot between seventeen and twenty-first (when she became immortal). For the last week Gilly has been going to see Ever and Urban at school when they're playing outside. Gods they've grown so much. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Paris staring at her and left quickly.

Also for the last week she's been training with Lysander and his angel swat team as she called them. Lysander was shocked when she knocked him on his back, which almost earned her a Bianka bitch-slap.

" Can I come in?" Speaking of Bianka.

" Sure." Gilly said putting on a long sleeve shirt because she didn't want Bianka seeing the tattoo she had on her back.

Behind Bianka was Lysander " We need to talk."

I nodded.

They sat on the bed.

" You knocked my man on his ass. Almost no one on this earth can say that. You've changed since the last time I saw you. You're not that scared little girl anymore, now you're confident, sexy and one hell of a fighter but I also know you're not human so start."

" It's a long story."

" Good we got time."

Gilly told them everything, what she was, how she found out, how she really got sent to Tartarus also that Paris saw her twice but didn't make the connection. They were shocked to say the least. When they took everything in Bianka asked, " When are you going to tell the Lords? And William? He didn't take you leaving good. Do you miss him? You have a crush on him right?"

" Alright first question; when am I going to tell the Lords? Soon. Second question; do I miss William? I miss everyone and I had a crush on him when I was seventeen it's been five years, I think I'm over it." What did she mean William didn't take her leaving good? Was he mad at her?

" Bianka I need to go.-" Lysander turned to me "- we'll talk later."

" No. I want to go with you baby." Bianka made puppy eyes at Lysander and the angel warrior turned to mush. Gilly had to hold back a laugh. He said yes and Bianka hooked her legs around his waist.

A while after they left Gilly got bored and decided to go to the training center and work out. She had too many questions on her mind.

P.O.V. Sienna

Sienna had to ask Lysander a question regarding Galen. That son of a bitch betrayed me. I should have let Paris kill him since the beginning. She was outside his cloud when a rush of thoughts hit her.

Such perfection.

She is Aphrodite.

Beauty beyond compare.

The angel's thoughts held no desire but admiration. Sienna wanted to see who they were talking about and to her luck she didn't have to wait because the girl was with Lysander. Damn she is gorgeous.

Somewhat short, black hair, dark eyes. Is she an angel? No she has no wings but she has to be something super natural to be in the heavens. Before Lysander reached Sienna the girl left.

P.O.V. Paris

Paris was in the entertainment room talking to Sabin, Lucien, and Maddox about the person he's been seeing around Ever and Urban's school for the last couple days.

" Do you know what she looks like?" asked Maddox trying to keep his cool.

" No. She wears a veil covering her face but I know it's the same one who was at her wedding."

" If you can't see her then how do you know it's a female?" Asked Lucien.

" Because she has boobs."

" She's a hunter. So we bring her here for questioning, maybe she knows something about Kane." Said Maddox

" Every time she sees me she runs away and when I follow her it's like she disappears."

" Maybe she can flash." Said Sabin.

" I don't care. No one hurts Ashlyn and my children without dying. Painfully." Said Maddox with a voice that sent shivers down Paris's spine. He almost felt sorry for the girl. Almost.

" I distract her and Paris knocks her out, simple." Said Sabin and they all nodded in agreement.

" Perfect. Be ready in twenty."

P.O.V. Gilly

She watched how Ever and Urban played with their friends and she felt like she made a mistake in leaving. I missed their first words, the first day of school, the first time they walked, their terrible two's. Gilly saw Sabin and Maddox coming to pick them up. Gods how she missed them even if she didn't really talk to them when she was here but it was because she was scared of them not because she didn't love them.

She saw Maddox look in her direction. I better go before they notice me. When she turned around she came face to face with Paris.

" Got you." He said before knocking her out.

P.O.V. William

Paris said to meet him in the dungeon and get everything ready for interrogation. They hadn't found a lead on Kane in months, which is not good according to the Lords.

Paris walked through the door with someone over his shoulder. " Get the hunter ready for us will you, be back in ten." He said before dumping the person on the floor and leaving. That is when he saw she was a woman. She's wearing black pants, boots, and a long sleeve shirt with a veil covering her whole face expect her eyes.

You are going to scream in pain. He stopped caring about other people a long while go. Ever since Gilly left he hadn't been aroused by anyone. He had to image he was having sex with her to feel something which is sick. I'm Paris all over again.

Torin came in the room with the Lords " Torture Kit".
" Here are the clothes." Torin said handing him black shorts and camisole.

" Put it on the table and help me here."

" I can't touch her stupid."

" You have gloves right, so help."

" Fine." Torin said in a dreading tone.

" You should thank me, since your still a virgin this has got to be your first time seeing a woman naked."

" I've seen a woman naked before."

" Like Cameo?"

" Fuck you man. Do it yourself." Before Torin left William apologized to him . . . for still being a virgin.

" Oh come on. I'm sorry man. Happy?"

Torin stayed.

The women was petite no taller then five' four, he took off her pants and shirt and gasped. Her skin looked as if a million diamonds were crushed and sprinkled on her. It was different than harpy skin. Harpy skin looks like an opal but her skin looked like little diamonds were in her pours. She had firm legs that seemed to go on for miles and her stomach is firm too with the smallest waist he'd ever seen followed by small hips flaring out. Gods her breasts. She had handful size breasts with the reddest nipples he'd ever seen.

" I haven't seen many naked women but she's pretty hot."

William has never seen a more perfect body in all his years and he's been with a lot of women, also he hasn't felt this attracted to a women in years, maybe she's what he needs to get his game back. "

" Let's see if her face is just a perfect." He said taking off the veil around her head. Damn. She's perfect. How old is she? She looks to be in her early twenties.

" I think it's perfect." Torin said breathless.

He felt breathless as he looked at her heart shaped face that had the same sparkle as her body, her hair that reached her hips so black it looked blue with eyelashes so long no one would think they were natural, her perfect small button nose to match her delicate frame. And those lips. Her lips are big and lushes and as red as her nipples. Never have I seen a more perfect women in my life and damn I've with a lot of women. I wonder what color are her eyes?

" She's perfect." Said Torin looking half in love. William suddenly felt a protective hold over her and he'd never felt protective over women.

" Too bad you can never touch her." He said one layer away from it being a hiss.

" Whatever you're a dick. You know that right? Just get her dressed, I'll go tell Sabin she's ready."

William finished dressing her in the clothes Torin gave him while trying not to sport a hard-on. He just wanted the Lords to get here so he can finish conditioning his hair; he saw a split end today so he was not happy.

All the Lords (besides Kane) showed up at the dungeon. " All this for a torture session?"

" Nobody tries to hurt our niece and nephew without consequences." Said Strider getting a bucket of cold water.

" Let's begin." Said Maddox.

P.O.V. Gilly

Her vision would returned and she would get glimpses of what was happening to her and then black out again. She saw she was in a car then going inside the fortress, someone taking off her clothes and that's it, until a slash of ice-cold water hit her face.

Slowly her vision came back again along with her senses. She felt her arms and legs tied to a chair. She knew she was inside the fortress. Most likely in the dudgeon where they would –

Another ice-cold bucket of water hit her and goose bumps broke across her skin, she blinked a couple times until she saw each Lord in front of her along with William. You have no idea how much I've missed you. Please, as if he could hear her. When she was seventeen she had a huge crush on William, he was the one who would all ways take care of her.

" Wakey, wakey sunshine. Wow you are beautiful indeed, now if you want to keep your face how it is you better start talking." Sabin said holding a dagger in his hands. " Why have you been watching the boy and girl at school? What does Galen have planned?"

When Sabin saw Gilly wasn't answering him he grabbed her by the neck placing the dagger below her eye. " Answer me bitch or I make the first cut in your face reconstructive surgery." Wow is this what they did when they were down here with hunters? If it wasn't for how Gilly knew the minute she said who she was they would stop and the months spent in Tartarus she would've shit herself. They all looked like death from head to toe.

She didn't want to say who she was and knew she didn't have too because they though she was a human. Big mistake. Gilly could easily get hot enough to melt the chains and keep them all frozen. No witch alive in her right mind would think to do something like that, because no witch could do it but she's one of the most powerful witches in history so Gilly decided to play along.

She opened her mouth as if to say something but let her eyes closed. " More water Strider." A moment later she felt another bucket of water hit her and more goose bumps spread on her skin.

" If I tell you then you'll kill me and if I don't then you'll still kill me." Gilly said with a barely there voice thinking she deserved an Oscar.

" If you tell us what we want to know we won't kill you."

" And how do I know that for sure?"

This time it was Maddox who walked up and punched her in the stomach definitely breaking a few ribs and grabbed Gilly by the neck leaving her gasping for air. Maddox looked strong but hit a million times harder than you'd image and trust me that's saying something.

" Tell me or I swear I'll kill you so painfully you'll beg me to finish you." His eyes were turning red.

" Kill me and you'll never know."

Slap.

The slap came from Reyes who enjoyed pain; the slap left her mouth full of blood. Gods if they knew they were doing this to me they would never forgive themselves and after all they've done for me they don't deserve this. Reyes and Danika took her in and gave her a family who loved her. I need to tell them. But how?

She was so busy in her thoughts of how to tell them Gilly didn't notice the wires Sabin was putting in her arms.

Slap, punch in ribs, electrocuting.

Gilly screamed. She knew she could handle more; her stepfather gave her plenty of practice as a child.

So much blood pooled her mouth she had to spit some out.

" Wait!"

Too late.

Another round of electrocuting.

This time she managed to hold back a scream.

" You're going to regret this. Do you remember-"

" I highly doubt it." Said Sabin before punching her again and Maddox dagger cut her arm writing BAIT, while Cameo whispered in her ear.

She couldn't hold back a scream and said to stop.
" Now you want to talk? Well bad news, now I don't want to talk but don't worry we'll keep you well enough to talk after were done with you."

" A girl used to live here but she left a couple years ago-" Gilly said in a strained voice. Her stepfather was strong but not as strong as any of the Lords and she'd taken a couple punches plus Cameo's voice.

This time William grabbed her by the neck. " Talk. What do you know about her you fucking piece of shit?" Bianka was right. William seemed desperate to know if I knew something.

" TELL ME!" He roared.

Gilly knew guilt would eat them alive for a while but also knew she needed to suffer through this if not they would still treat and see her like a child so leaving for five years would have been pointless. They need to see she could handle torture and pain like a woman. That she wouldn't break. Not anymore.

P.O.V. William

William didn't care that he though she was the most beautiful woman that he'd ever seen, she knew something about Gilly and he'd kill her to find out. Gilly I'm going to find you.

" Cat got my tongue sorry." I can't believe I actually felt protective of her.

Maddox punched her in the stomach and Sabin turned up the volts causing her to jerk but she didn't scream. She's a tough little nut.

" YOU FUCKING WHORE! TALK!" Maddox turning completely demon with his eyes red and skeleton mask coming on. Even William tensed a bit; the guy is violence after all.

She laughed. She actually fucking laughed. " That's no way to treat a woman but come closer and I'll tell you something." They all looked at each other and walked forward. " You." She said her heading nodding in Sabin's direction. " Should learn never to underestimate your opposite. You should always doubt yourself-" then the chains started to melt as if ice cubes were placed on a hot pan. "- And be prepared for anything." They tried to move but couldn't; they were frozen in place. When the chains melted off she stood on shaky legs saying something none of them expected

" My name is Gillian I believe I used to live here."
