A/N: Hey guys! So sorry for the delay in posting this chapter. I have been busy with school and work and then I got side tracked writing another story but here I am to post this next chapter!

Four months had passed, and Aliya and Helena still hadn't been found; it was as though the two had disappeared without a single trace. Leon had been released from the hospital two weeks after he woke up from his coma and had been in physical therapy ever since. To help Leon recover, Claire had been staying with him and sleeping in the spare bedroom to help him take it easy, which wasn't as easy as it sounded.

From the get-go Leon proved to be a difficult patient these last four months. He was constantly getting up and attempting to do things for himself, even attempting to use his work computer to attempt to find Helena and Aliya from his own home, looking at any body cam footage from previous search parties.

By month three Leon was finally able to return to work, but he needed to be on light duty since he still wasn't at a hundred percent. However, he was getting increasingly frustrated. Every search party that had been sent to search for the two either came up empty handed, or the parties came back severely injured, if they even came back at all. This time it had been Jake and Sherry's turn to have a crack at finding them, but Leon had a feeling that they would come back empty handed.

This assumption proved right when Hunnigan came into his office and told him that the two had returned but that Sherry was in the infirmary getting checked out. Despite Sherry's healing capabilities, she still needed to be checked out at the infirmary in case she had any internal injuries.

"What happened?" he asks as he entered the infirmary where Madison was examining Sherry.

"Well, we found Aliya, but she attacked us." Sherry says as Madison allowed her to get off the exam table.

Sherry sighed, "we found this mansion and we found our way inside. At first, we thought nothing of it when Aliya greeted us and seemed like she wanted to go home but then she came at us with a knife."

"She came at you with a knife?"

"Yeah, I knew something wasn't right when she called us aunt Sherry and Uncle Jake because she's never called us that." Jake says, "when I noticed things seemed off that's when she came at us with a knife and stabbed Sherry when our guard was down."

Leon didn't say anything else as he turned and left the infirmary, Sherry and Jake exchanging a look before following Leon down the hall and to the armory.

"Leon what are you doing?" Sherry asks as Leon started grabbing his supplies.

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm going to find them myself."

"Leon, no. You haven't even been fully cleared by the doctor yet!"

"I don't care! I'm not wasting another minute just waiting around for news. Now go tell the pilot to get a chopper ready."

Sherry sighed, knowing that there was no use arguing with Leon once he had made up his mind and went with Jake to find the pilot to ready the chopper. She hated how stubborn Leon was being since he had the accident but at the same time, she couldn't blame him. She just hoped that he didn't get himself killed in the process.

Meanwhile Helena had been kept in a holding cell for the last several weeks due to her repeated attempts at escaping and her hands were constantly bound with rope to reduce the possibility of escaping. She was also kept lightly sedated to lower her resistance to any kind of testing.

Helena was suddenly aware of the cell door opening and Matthew entering her cell and forcing her up and to her feet. Helena barely knew what was happening due to consistently being drugged.

"Come on its time for your testing!" He says, forcing her to her feet and pushing her towards the door and Helena hit her side against the wall trying to catch herself.

Since it was found that she was pregnant, she had to be subjected to various tests, ultrasounds, and forced cervical exams due to the regular bleeding problems that she had. She hated being poked and prodded on a regular basis and the testing was so uncomfortable that she needed more sedation to keep from struggling.

Matthew led her to the lab and had her sit on the exam table to wait for Lida to perform the ultrasounds and tests and made sure to untie her while waiting.

Helena put her hands on her belly, sighing as she felt the baby kicking. She hated that Leon was missing these moments and hated that they were apart now. She kept trying to escape but every time she tried to resulted in punishment and being drugged that she wasn't able to try again.

Helena looked up as Lida entered and ordered her to lay back on the exam table, gently pulling her shirt up before putting the gel on it and beginning to move the wand as the image showed up on the screen.

The agent breathed a sigh of relief as she heard the baby's heartbeat fill the room, a strong and steady heartbeat. She was always nervous for the ultrasounds and feared that something was wrong with the baby due to the many instances of bleeding due to the stress from the situation that she was in.

Helena looked at Lida, noticing that she seemed concerned.

"Is everything okay?" She asks slowly, trying her best not to seem concerned.

"Yes, she's just a tad smaller than she should be but she has time to get bigger."

"She?"

"Oh yeah, I'm sorry it's a girl."

Helena closed her eyes and took a shaky breath. Their baby was a girl, and Leon wasn't here to find that out with her. She hated everything about this situation and all she wanted was to get away from this place.

Helena was so deep in her thoughts that she hadn't noticed Matthew leave the room and Lida had started to inject another sedative into her arm until she felt a pinch and started to slip away.

Aliya peeled her blood stained clothes off of her pale, small frame and throwing them in the corner of the bathroom for one of the servants to wash. The teen stepped into the shower and let the hot water wash the bright red blood down the drain and stared. She couldn't remember what happened that caused all this blood. All she remembered was seeing Sherry and Jake and feeling ecstatic and then it was like a switch flipped and she blacked out and when she came around again she was covered in blood.

Aliya finished showering and got dressed before going to her room and sitting down at the vanity to brush through her dark hair. She was the only one that inhabited this room now that Helena was sleeping elsewhere. She hadn't seen Helena in several weeks after the last time she had tried to escape and whenever she had tried to ask where Helena was, Matthew had shut her down and told her not to worry and that Helena was being well taken care of.

She loved getting to know her uncle, but she missed her old life. She missed Leon and Trevor and her friends. Aliya sighed as she finished brushing her hair and got up to find Matthew, who was in his study looking at Helena's latest tests and ultrasounds.

"I want to go home." She says, crossing her arms as she approached his desk, and Matthew quickly closed the test results.

"What do you mean? You are home." he says, raising an eyebrow as he folded his hands in front of him.

"I mean my real home."

"Why though? Have you forgotten everything that I've done for you?"

Aliya rubbed her arm, feeling the scar where her monitor used to be. After she first arrived, Matthew was able to find a way to permanently keep her stable so that she wouldn't need her monitors anymore.

"I know it's just that I miss Leon and my dog and my friends."

Matthew nodded, "well, why don't we fix that, hm?"

Aliya looked at him in confusion as Matthew typed something into his computer before reaching into his desk drawer and pulled Aliya's cell phone out.

"Why don't we give Leon a call and get him here? That will fix the problem."

Aliya nodded excitedly as she grabbed her phone from Matthew and immediately dialed Leon's number into it and holding the device to her ear as it started ringing.

Leon fumbled with his phone as he saw Aliya's contact info flash across the screen,

"Aliya? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Can you come get me? I'm ready to come home."

"I'm already on my way. I should be there in a few hours."

Aliya was about to say something else when Matthew took her phone from her and pressed it to his own ear.

"Hello, Leon."

"Who the hell are you?"

"I'm Matthew and I've had the privilege of taking care of Aliya and Helena these last several months, and you and I have much to discuss."

"I swear if you hurt them_"

"Now don't fret. I would never think of harming them, after all Aliya is my own blood and Helena is in a very delicate condition. Here's what will happen; I will send the coordinates of where you can find Helena and only after that will you get the coordinates to Aliya's location."

Matthew didn't wait for Leon to respond before hanging up the phone and putting it back in his desk drawer.

"My plan is almost complete and soon Leon will pay for what he's done to Natalia."

"What? You said he can bring me home!" Aliya says, starting to feel panicked.

'I said no such thing. I told you that he can come here. I didn't say that he can bring you home. You expect me to let him take you out of here? After what he did?"

"Leon didn't kill Natalia!" She blurts out before she can stop herself.

"Oh? If he didn't kill her then who did?"

Aliya swallowed thickly, "I did."

The look that Matthew gave her was a look that Aliya had never seen before. The look of pure rage as he approached her, and she did the only thing she could do in this moment which was run. The girl ran into the kitchen with Matthw following close behind, easily closing the distance and tackled her to the ground.

Aliya was pushed into a China cabinet, causing all the plates to fall from the shelf and shatter around them. The girl struggled as Matthew forced her to face him and forced his whole body weight on her and wrapped his hands around her throat.

Aliya gasped as Matthew choked her, looking around for something that she could grab that could help her, eventually seeing a plate that seemed to be the only one that didn't shatter. The teen grabbed the plate and brought it up against the side of Matthew's face, causing him to yell and immediately released his grip on her and allowed her to get up and run out of the kitchen.

Aliya ran into the hall outside of the kitchen, using a table in the hall and pushing it against the door to give herself more time to figure out her next move.

"Help. I need to get help." She says to herself, hoping she would survive until Leon arrived.

She only hoped that Matthew wasn't going to take his anger out on Helena in the process.
