Ryker: This chapter took longer for me to write than expected. Idk why though, I'm just moody today. Anyway, enjoy this chapter! Also, there might be slight graphic depictions of violence and injury, just saying.


LAST TIME:

Bell was determined to keep everyone safe, even at the cost of his own life. Now, his best friend needs him, and as he feared, the Order had gotten there first.


(Bell POV)

It all happened so fast. We had been walking through the thick forest for two days until we finally reached a clearing. That's when everything went wrong. I can barely remember what happened. The first thing I knew, Vinny was on the ground. His blood stained the once green blades of grass. Yu had knelt by his side and screamed for him to wake up. That was when she then had an arrow through her shoulder and she fell over Vinny.

I was weak. I backed up and I was nervous. Fear consumed my very soul as I grabbed the dagger that Vinny packed and spun around a bit.

"Who's there?" I growled, "Show yourself!"

A hooded figure jumped out in front of me. I lunged at them but missed. The figure was small, almost as big as Alexander whom was as tall as my shoulder.

"You shouldn't fight through rage," another voice from behind me made me jump. This person was exactly my height with a shrill little lust filled voice. "My, my, you are more delicious in person."

"Who are you?" I spat. I tightened my grip on the dagger.

It wasn't rage I felt, it was fear. I longed for Mama and Papa to rescue me. I was only a kid, I had little training in this sort of combat after Mama made me focus on strengthening my telepathic abilities. Was was I supposed to do, read their minds? What use was that?

"Come with us," another person my height jumped across from the small one.

"You have no choice," then the biggest one that made Uncle Gwendal look small had grabbed the collar of my tunic.

I kicked out my legs and demanded to be put down.

"Oh, I see you like to struggle, well, so does your little friend," the big one motioned for the middle one to bring out my brunette best friend.

Jay had gashes down his arms and face. His mouth was gagged with some dirty cloth while his hands and ankles were shackled. Tears stained his cheeks as he shook his head.

"You pick," The big hooded figure said, "You or him."

It was a no-brainer, "Let Jay go unharmed," I gritted my teeth.

"Good boy," they threw Jay on the pile of bodies and grabbed me by my upper arm, "Let's go little Prince. We've already collected samples of blood from your two friends. All we need is you."

They pressed a cloth to my face as I breathed in some powder. My lungs burned as I gasped for air and my consciousness slipped through my grasp.


(24 hours earlier)

(No POV)

Wolfram paced back and forth. Something wasn't right in the world and he needed to get to the bottom of it. He hadn't seen his two children in a while, or has he? All of this worrying made him begin to forget events and combine a bunch of memories. Yuuri had told him that it was nothing to worry about, but Aleksei felt the same.

Aleksei walked over to Wolfram and stopped him mid pace. "Stop, you're going to hurt yourself," the redhead said, "Just chill for a bit."

"How can I chill?" Wolf snapped, "There is something wrong here and nobody believes me!"

"I believe you," Aleksei put his hands up, "Now please." He motioned to the floor for them to sit with their backs to the wall.

Wolf listened and sat next to the pregnant boy. Aleksei rubbed his tiny baby bump as he looked out the window.

"There is something wrong," he said, "Our children haven't been around. Not only that but everyone else has been acting strange."

"Do you think that they left?" Wolfram asked, "Have they went to take on the Order, haven't they?"

Aleksei bit his lip and leaned his head back, "I'm terrified of that answer."

Wolfram shot up out of his seat.

"Where are you going?" Aleksei asked.

"I'm going to get our children back," Wolfram snapped as he ran off to his room to grab his sword.

Yuuri and Alexander were there.

"Wolfram, what's going on?" the double black asked.

"Yuuri, our children are out there fighting the Order, we need to help," Wolfram hissed, "Believe me or not, I'm going and there is no stopping me!"

"Then let me come with you," all heads turned to see Conrad leaning against the wall.

"Me too," It was Yozak.

Gunter and Gwendal joined them as well with a nod. Andrew stood by Conrad's side.

"I know where they went," Andrew said, "I'll help you."

Wolfram smiled as they all prepared for their journey ahead.

Aleksei was left behind with Gisela and Anissina, two of the most powerful soldiers, to protect the Castle in case the Order attacks. Celi was on her way to check on Greta.


(24 hours later)

The thick stench of blood filled the peaceful air. Fear struck into everyone's core as they heard muffled yells for help. The blonde man darted ahead of the crowd with his heart palpitating in his chest.

The scene before him made him gasp. He threw himself in Yuuri's arms to hide his sobs. He couldn't bare to look at the two bloody bodies and the one boy bound.

Conrad untied Jay's bonds while Gwendal looked as if he was struck by the arrow that hit Yu's shoulder. He sunk to his knees at the side of his son.

"What happened Lord von Wincott?" Gunter asked.

"T-these guys in dark hoods. T-they overthrew my carriage and they kidnapped me for days. Then when Bell came around with Vinny and Yu, one guy was like a flash of light and struck Vinny. He was bleeding so much and he fell to the ground. Then Yu was struck by an arrow a-and I'm so sorry! They took Bell!" Jay yelped.

"My son…" Gwendal breathed, "My little boy."

Wolfram knelt by Gwendal's side and pulled Yu into his lap so Gwendal could examine his son. Dried blood stained the corners of Vinny's mouth and thick purple bruises littered his stomach. A giant gash, similar to Aleksei's, on Vinny's back. The wound was fresh and festering.

Yuuri and Wolfram began to heal Yu and take the arrow out of her shoulder. Both of their powers combined made her healing quicker. Wolfram slowly took the wooden arrow out of his daughter as Yuuri kept steady hands on her to sooth the wound before it killed her. Once the wound closed up, Yu stirred around slightly. Wolfram hushed her as Yuuri pulled her into his lap.

Andrew knelt beside Gwendal. His fingers immediately went for Vinny's pulse point. "He has a faint pulse," Andrew said, "I fear that he might not have much longer though."

Gwendal squeaked at those words. "Shinou don't take him." He breathed. He tucked sticky locks of Vinny's red hair behind the boy's ear. Gwendal used the pad of his thumb to caress down Vinny's pale cheek.

Wolfram scrambled over to Vinny and began to heal him too. Yuuri joined as Yu slowly sat up.

"Where's Bell?" she asked groggily.

"Taken," Wolf said, "What were you thinking?!"

"Don' be mad," Vinny croaked. Nobody noticed he woke up. Gwendal smiled in relief. "We knew."

"Knew what?" Gunter asked.

"They knew that Bell would be taken," Andrew answered, "They did not plan on Jay being captured nor blood to be spilled."

Conrad grabbed the bandages from Vinny's bag and patched up the large wound on Vinny's back then the one of Yu's shoulder. Vinny was still being cradled in Gwendal's arms.

The fire inside of Wolfram burned brightly as he rose to his feet and unsheathed his sword. He looked towards the bright blue sky and asked, "How can we find the Order?"

"I can track 'em," Vinny said. From the attack, Vinny could feel the vibrations in the earth. He could track those same patterns again with no problem.

"Not in your condition," Gwendal snapped, "I can't lose you."

"If they have Bell then I'm good as dead," Vinny reached up and touched his father's cheek, "I love you Dad, you've protected me for so long, now it's my turn."

"They want young blood, that's what they'll get," Yu growled, "They messed with the wrong family. Nobody touches my brother and gets away with it!"

"I want to help too," Jay piped in, "Though I don't have strong powers, my swordsmen skills are excellent. Please, let me help rescue the one I love."

Yuuri snorted at the last part of Jay's sentence. He was still in denial that Yu had a crush when she was ten.

"Love as a best friend?" Yuuri asked the boy with a raise of his eyebrow.

"Y-yeah, of course!" Jay smiled away the awkward tension.

Vinny stood up with the help of Gwendal. He tapped into his powers and pointed everyone in the right direction.


(Bell POV)

My head pounded as I pried open my weary eyes. I was in a room decked in red velvet cloth. There were no windows that could tell me where I was. The jagged stone walls towered over me while the velvet cloth draped down from the ceiling. I sat in a bed fit for a King which was, again, red satin.

When I got up to investigate, I was yanked back by the chain on my ankle that led to a pole in the corner near the bed. I darted over to the pole and tried to break the chain off of me.

"Rise and shine Sleeping Beauty," the same seductive shrill voice filled my room. I flipped around to see the hooded figure. "Don't be frightened my little pet. I won't let anything hurt you."

She took off her hood to reveal her long pink hair and lips as red as blood. She grabbed me by the upper arm and yanked me onto the bed.

"Who are you?" I hissed out between my struggled movements.

"I'm Nyssa," she grinned, "Welcome to the Order Of Bones, young Prince. Oh, Father has been so eager to meet you. I'll just have to dress you to see him, won't I?"

"D-don't touch me!" I screamed. Nyssa went over to the closet and looked amongst the wardrobe inside. It looked nearly identical to mine back home.

Were they stalking me?

"Ah, found it!" she pulled out an outfit then turned to me with a lustful gaze, "Ready?" I shook my head. "Oh come now, I promised Father that I wouldn't touch you until after the ceremony."

She licked her lips and grabbed the hem of my tunic.

"NO!"


Ryker: I do want to remind everyone that this is rated PG13 in a sense, so if you thought that the last scene Bell was sexually assaulted by Nyssa, you're wrong. She is just going to change him like a creep. So yup, just for the record Bell is Jay's and only his, no changing that, including the story in who touches Bell like that. Only Jay will touch Bellamy.
And Wolfram will be FURIOUS when he finds Bell!
