Abigail-
After speaking to a few people who've claimed they've seen The Boogeyman and have spoken to him, they also let her know her dad has met up with him. After going through his books and maps, she found it.
Getting to the dark woods, Stephanie followed behind Abigail.
"Are you sure he's here?", she asked.
Abigail nodded.
"My father wrote this location down in the book. He has to be here", she said.
"You know those books are old, he could have left long ago", Stephanie said.
Abigail stopped, a hooded figure stood in front of them.
"Why have you come?", he asked.
"I hear you can change time. Change events from the past", Abigail said.
He nodded slowly, eyeing the women.
"I need to change something", Abigail said.
He laughed.
"There are a few rules I need to explain", he said.
"I don't care about", Stephanie stopped her.
She wasn't about to get killed over this child's stupidity.
"Explain", she said.
"I can't permanently change anything, it's up to you to do that", he said.
"Meaning?", Abigail asked.
"I can take you back to before the event and you must prevent it from happening. Only then will it be permanent", he said.
He looked over both women again.
"What is it that you want child?", he asked Abigail.
"Roman Reigns", she said.
He lifted his hand and his finger started to make a circle of smoke. You could see Roman with Nova and Abigail growled.
"He's been claimed. If I take you back to before, you must sever the bond. It will be hard seeing as they have children", he said.
"You can't get rid of them? I heard you eat them", she said.
He laughed.
"I don't eat children, but after time, rumors spread. I can get rid of the newborns yes, but the girl, would be hard, as will be getting rid of the packs children", he said.
"All I have to do is get him to mark me?", she asked.
He nodded.
"But be alert, their bond will pull them together. I can only do so much, but nature and fate will be against my power", he said.
Abigail nodded. He looked at Stephanie.
"What is it that you seek?", he asked.
"First I want to know what it's going to cost?", she asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
He smiled.
"If you can successfully change the past, I keep the children", he smirked.
"And if we don't?", she was almost afraid to ask.
"I keep your soul", he laughed.
Stephanie stepped back and looked at Abigail.
"I'm out, I'll figure it out on my own. No way in hell am I giving up my soul", she said.
Abigail rolled her eyes, she looked back at the Boogeyman.
"You seem confident in your abilities to change this Alpha's mind on who to mate", he said.
She nodded.
"Remember, he must mark you in order to change the present and your future", he said to her.
"I know", she nodded.
"The present will be frozen in time till you can get his past self to mark you. Once he does, you'll be brought back here and he won't even remember her", he said.
She smiled. He gestured her to step forward, she did. He pulled out a knife.
"Hold out your hand child", he said.
She did, he cut a straight line down her palm. Blood dripping into a cup. He drank it.
"Its just to seal the deal. Remember what I said.", he said.
She nodded.
Roman-
"She has guards set up on the West side of her territory and the East", Baron said.
"But it's only during the day", Corey said.
"She leaves it open at night?", Dean asked.
They both nodded.
"That sounds kind of suspicious", Seth said.
"I agree", Nia said.
"Send me in", they turned to see Bayley.
She stepped closer.
"I can sneak in and out without being seen. I can do this", Bayley said.
Roman was hesitant, he didn't want someone getting hurt when they don't have too. She wasn't pack.
"Your wife is my best friend, I would do anything for her and your young, Alpha", she said, bowing her head.
Roman smiled warmly at Bayley.
"I'm thankful to you for being one of her only friends, for protecting her when I couldn't. I will not ask you to risk your life again", he said.
"I'm the only one who can get in and out, I'm small enough", she said.
Roman looked at his lead pack warriors.
"I'll put it to a vote, pack say", Roman said.
"Enzo and I vote yes", Cass said.
"Yes", Baron said.
Roman looked at his brother. Matt nodded.
"Beta?", Roman asked.
"I don't like it but she makes a point, I vote yes", Dean said.
"Yes", Seth said last.
Roman nodded and looked at Bayley.
"Alright but any sign of danger, I want you out. Understood?", Roman said, setting his foot down.
Bayley nodded excitedly, but before she could take her leave, a hooded figure appeared. He smirked at Roman.
"Find your way back to your true heart", he said.
"Who are you?", Roman asked.
A cloud of smoke surrounded them, they didn't know what to do.
"Remember what I said", the hooded figure said.
Reigns land-
Nova was watching Mia run around. Sami's wolf was chasing her. She felt a shiver run down her spine and then the pain in her chest, she fell to her knees.
"Alpha? What's wrong?", Sami mind linked.
Nova couldn't speak, tears ran down her face. Something was wrong with Roman. He had told her once that she would be able to feel him.
He kissed her belly.
"I'll be back as soon as I can love", he said to her.
He didn't want to go, but he needed to get rid of the threat. He was granted permission from the Council to hunt down Abigail and deal with her how he sees fit.
"Will you be back in time to see them born?", Nova asked, running her fingers through his long hair, brushing it back and away from his face.
He met her eyes.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world my Queen", he said, smiling that beautiful smile she loved.
"We're going to miss you", she said.
He gently touched her cheek.
"Nova, I know you don't want to hear it and I know you know this is a dangerous situation we are in. I, like a lot of my pack, our pack, might not make it", he said.
"Roman please", she tried to stop him.
"I need to say this, I love you and Mia, these twins", he said, touching her belly.
He felt them kick and smiled. Kissing her belly.
"You'll know if anything happens to me love, you'll feel it, here", he said, putting his hand over her heart.
A tear slipped down Nova's cheek. He wiped it with his thumb.
"It's the bond", he said softly.
He looked over his wife's face.
"The females in our pack will mourn the loss of their husbands with a howl. Listen for it, comfort her the way an Alpha female should. You've seen my mother do it", he said.
Nova nodded. He pressed his forehead against hers.
"Be the leader this pack needs if anything and I mean anything happens to me.", he said.
She nodded.
"I love you, my wife", he whispered.
"I love you, we love you", she whispered back.
He pressed his lips against hers.
Noticing the hooded figure behind Mia, she was crying and screaming. Sami tried to attack him, but was sent flying, Nova couldn't move.
"Let her go", she screamed.
"Find the way back to your true heart", he said.
He disappeared. Hearing the howls from the females in her pack. Her twins crying, she couldn't move, something was preventing her. The last thing she heard was her mother.
"Nova?", Brie screamed.
Dark Woods-
The cave was packed with the packs kids. He noticed the Beta and Gamma's children protecting the young Alpha girl.
"You'll be returned to them. Hopefully they are as smart as everyone says. Mia.", The Boogeyman said.
"You're scaring them", Sting said behind him.
"She's not afraid of me, are you little Alpha", he said.
"You don't collect child souls. Why lie to the Wyatt girl?", Sting asked.
"Would you believe me if I said I was teaching her a lesson?", Boogeyman asked smiling.
Sting chuckled.
"She's just as foolish as her father", Sting said.
Sting looked over the little girl.
"Do you think they can do it? Find their way back to each other?", Sting asked.
"I don't see why not", he replied.
"Where are the newborns?", Sting asked.
"They are being taken care of", he said.
"By?", Sting asked.
He was hoping he kept them away from the Underworld.
"Nymphs", he said.
Sting laughed.
"You know a mother's bond to her children is strong. Even if you erased each and every memory of them, she'll feel like something is missing. She'll hear them.", Sting said.
Boogeyman smirked.
"I'm counting on it. The young will bring their parents back together", he said.
"You didn't tell the Wyatt girl of this side effect", Sting said.
"It must have slipped my mind, I am over a thousand years old", he said shrugging.
He and Sting laughed.
