Chloe's POV

I panted and strained against the restraints. I couldn't know for sure but I felt like I was going in and out of consciousness. I vaguely remember being free from the restraints earlier. Fighting with Ron in the yard.

Prim smiled watching me panic.

"Who is your Alpha?"

"N-Nate."

She nodded, "Good. Who is your master?"

Master? What? I didn't know anyone called master!

She pressed a knife against my arm threateningly.

"Nate!" I shouted.

She smiled, "Good. Where is your home?"

"Here."

"What are you going to do if you see the Bae family again?"

"Run away with them," I spit in her face.

"Wrong answer," she growled.

Derek's POV

We sat in the library on computers, Tess and Matt were trying to connect the name on the property to other possible names. Simon, Jeremy, and I stared at the map looking for possible areas. Rachel and Tori were off somewhere not giving a care like usual.

I felt eyes on the back of my head every so often. Everyone would glance up at me, waiting for me to have another mental breakdown. As terrified as I am though, I was holding it together on the outside.

I doubted it would work but I closed my eyes and pictured Chloe. I pictured saying to her, "Its going to be alright. We are coming to find you Chloe. I love you. I'll find you." Who knows if I'm fooling myself or if its actually getting through to her? I wish Liz was here and could teleport around, telling us where she is at. No one would say it but I bet they were thinking it too.

"What about here?" Jeremy pointed at the edge of the map. "We might be going about this the wrong way. We assume she's somewhere within a days distance of this werewolf mansion. But really she's somewhere within a days distance of Tess'. She could be way over here instead. Just over state line."

"Fair point," Simon nodded. He walked over to Matt and Tess and said quietly, "Expand your search a state over. She could be out that way too."

Matt and Tess typed away furiously. I just stared at the map, itching to tear it to pieces in frustration. But I needed to hold it together and keep trying to send thoughts Chloe's way. Maybe one of them would get through to her. Simon highlighted possible areas he thought we should check out.

"We need a second car," I said. "We need to split up and cover more ground."

"We don't have the luxury of the time to run home and get another car," Matt said without taking his eyes from the screen.

"Dad," I said like it was obvious. "He's still home." I looked over at Tess. "Call him now. Give him any locations we're suspicious of that are between home and here that he can check on the way to us."

"Yes sir," Tess nodded and stood up. Phone calls weren't allowed in the library, she would have to step outside.

Kyle's POV

"Chloe?" I tried to get her attention.

She sat there staring blankly at the wall. All emotion absent from her blood covered face. The shed door opened and Nate entered this time instead of Prim.

"Chloe," he said. "How are you feeling?"

Chloe didn't answer.

"Answer me," he said firmly.

Chloe's shoulders tensed and her head dropped.

"Alive," she said.

Her voice was crackly like she was severely dehydrated. Being a ghost, I didn't think about food much, but come to think of it now; I don't recall seeing them feed her at all.

Nate took a step closer to her. Her head shot up, eyes bloodshot, fangs jumped from her gums. Chloe hissed at him. He smiled and walked around to the back of the chair. He pulled something from a back drawer and placed it around her neck. Chloe froze, not knowing what was happening. The thing made a click and buzzed ever so slightly if you paid attention to the sound. Nate walked back in front of her. He undid her restraints. Chloe, terrified, didn't move.

"Stand," he instructed her.

Chloe did. She shook either from weakness or fear. Or both.

"Chloe," I said softly. "Run girl run."

Chloe wasn't hearing me. She made no acknowledgement to me.

"You want blood?" Nate asked her.

Chloe nodded.

"Then be good," he stepped back and opened the door.

Waiting outside it was Prim. They were going to test her again. See how well she was following orders. If I wasn't dead, I'd be vomiting from the things I'd seen them make her do.
