“Shauna fancy meeting you here in the dungeons. How is your leader by the way?” I ask.

Shauna chuckles then looks at me again before she says, “It seems like you have started gaining your power back. How is Fenrir by the way? I hear he has been rather busy these past few years. My my how powerful you are already. But wait are you pregnant. Hmm that will not do, that will not do at all.”

“I do not like riddles. Just speak plainly.” I say.

“Oh I see you have not lost your fire. No, I now see why she envies you so much. Now what I want to know is how many mates you really have? I know this delectable man right here is one but how many more can there really be?” Shauna says.

“Hmm is that not the question that every one wants to have an answer to. Well that is my secret and you will fortunately never get the answer to. Now who is it that envies me and wants my power so bad?” I question.

“You will just have to wait and see. That is unless your getting your memories back and that will be a very big problem.” Shauna says crypticaly.

“Sorry but I have no memories of anything past when I showed up in Paisley. I can not help you there.” I lie smoothly.

Hydrus is just sitting next to me watching everything while holding the folder in his hands. He hands me the folder and taps it, indicating that he wants me to read it. I look at Shauna for a few more minutes trying to figure out her bottom line but decide to just read what ever is in the folder instead. I open the folder and look at all the pictures in it. The pictures are of snap shots of Shauna at different packs and there are some with the ones that were killed and some that were not at the ceremony. I move the pictures aside and start to read the profile work up on her.

Shauna

Age: unknown

Kind: Unseelie.

Cast: unknown.

Height: 5’6”

Weight: 140lbs

Relatives:

Mother: unknown origin

Father: Warlock

Sister: Trina Unseelie cast unknown

Brothers: two both warlocks

Abilities: Magical and dark arts (magical unknown)

Has been kicked out of the Unseelie court for unknown reasons and banished to the Grey Realm. Has been found in the Human Realm causing trouble in multiple human towns as well as packs. Who she is working for is unknown.

After reading the short work profile on her I flip the pages over and replace some more pictures. These look to be of her family members or other Fae she is working with. I stop at a picture. I recognize the person. This is the women from earlier that would not reveal herself. But I know this is not Trina. This has to be Shauna’s leader. The one she was talking about to my fake parents. I pass the folder back over to Hydrus with the photo sitting on top but out of Shauna’s sight.

“That is the women that I saw earlier. The one you guys could not see.” I mind link Hydrus.

Hydrus looks at the photo and I can tell he recognizes her. He puts the photo back and closes the folder back up. He sets it aside on the table and Shauna looks at it like she can see through it. She looks up at us and this time I do not see cockiness in her eyes, I can only see panic.

“Shauna, Shauna, Shauna. You have been warned by the councils from all Realms to stay away and repent. But you just had to come here and wreak havoc did you not. Well now you will face the justice you should have been dealt those hundreds of years ago. Do not forget I know you helped cover up for your leader. But fret not she will be taken care of too.” Hydrus says.

“Before you are dealt your death would you like to tell us what you have been up to helping all these packs steal power and wreak havoc?” I ask.

“I have done nothing of the sort. I have lived a peaceful life. I do not even know why I was arrested to begin with.” Shauna plays dumb.

“Do not play dumb with me. I did hear your conversation with my parents. I also want you to know I can take your memories, so you are better off just telling me the truth.” I say.

“You can do no such thing. That is impossible.” Shauna says after a few minutes of silence.

“Have it your way then.” I say before I delve in to her memories.

Her memories are horrific that I instantly start to feel sick to my stomach. Hydrus grabs my hand and I can hear him shouting something but I can not hear him. I am literally watching all of Shauna’s memories and I am in them. But I can not make sense of what those memories are or how any of them can be of me. I am only 21. I skip over years of memories to get to where she started being in the human realm the most. She approached packs and told them how to steal power and how to kill fae for power. Most Alpha’s did not believe her. But there were those that were so power hungry that they would try anything, I watched as she corrupted humans and wolves alike to do her bidding. But it was not truly her bidding but anothers’ that was always in the background but never truly seen. I watched as she tricked people, lied and cheated her way through packs and human towns. I watched her teach wolves to kill fae. I saw her kill Fenrir’s Council. By the time I was done sifting her memories I was so full of rage I could barely contain myself.

I came to and screeched in anger and sadness of everything she has done. I try to dive across the table at her but I am being held back by both my mates. I shake them off me and fly across the table and into Shauna. I knock us both over onto the floor. I quickly put up a shield to prevent my mates from intervening. Shauna starts laughing manically. She then stops quickly when she sees my belly. I see everything click in her mind. She has finally realized it is too late and she is done. I quickly rip her heart out and say “Tha do bhodhaig air a seuladh agus cha bhi eòlas aige air mothachadh. Cha bhith e comasach dha duine do dhùsgadh no faighinn gu do chuimhneachain no do bhodhaig. Bidh mi gad fhuadach fad na h-ùine gu bhith nad shlige gun anam, gun inntinn, airson a’ chòrr den ùine gus an sgrios mi do bhodhaig. Cha bhith duine comasach air seo a thoirt air falbh ach dhòmhsa. Tha mo thoil air a dhèanamh agus mar sin thèid a dhèanamh.

”(Your body is sealed and will not know consciousness. No one will be able to wake you or access your memories or body. I banish you for all time to be a soulless, mindless, shell for the rest of time til I destroy your body. No one will be able to undo this except for me. My will is done and so it shall be done.)

I let my Lycan come forward and ate her heart. Once I am done I drop the shield and I look at my mates.

“What did you do?” Fenrir asks.

“I took her heart and bound her til I am able to destroy her body completely.” I explain.

“How did you do that? We did not even hear you speak.” Hydrus says.

“I put up a shield so I am not surprised you did not hear the curse I put on her.” I say.

“What are we going to do now with her body?” Hydrus asks.

“I can put her body in a place no one will ever know until Chris has the power to destroy it.” Fenrir says.

“Do it.” I say then pass out.

Fenrir

I was in my office getting some paperwork done before reading the reports that Theo had left me. I had just started on the second report when Hydrus started to link me.

“Fenrir, I need you to come down to the dungeons.” Hydrus says.

“Why can you not handle helping Chris?” I asked irritated.

“I can handle it. That is not the issue. We are questioning one of the Fae that was caught. Her name is Shauna.” He replies defensively.

“Shit. She is not supposed to be questioning her. What is going on right now?” I say.

“Chris is in the middle of a memory and she looks like she is going to murder someone.” He explains.

“I will be right there. Do not let her do anything stupid.” I say.

I cut the link and transport to the interrogation room they are in just as Chris lunges towards Shauna. Hyrdus and I try to get her but she ends up getting out of our hold. We can tell they are talking then suddenly Chris rips Shauna’s heart out and eats it. Chris is talking but we can not hear a thing. Once she is done finally we can hear everything but I am concerned because Shauna was pure evil and Chris just consumed her heart. I fear for Chris and the babes.

I promise her that I will take care of the body she passes out. I have Hydrus bring her back to our apartments. Once he is gone I grab Shauna and transport her body away to a place no one will ever replace her. Then I take the folder that Hydrus handed me and hide it with the rest that Chris can not see til her memories come back.

Christiana

Halls, never ending halls. I keep walking and walking but I never replace a door or an exit. Everything is in shades of gray and black. Nothing makes sense. Every time I feel like I have found an exit or door it is just a trick of my mind. So I continue walking these halls and slowly start to lose my mind. I suddenly feel wind on my face and start running towards the direction it is coming from. Finally I come to a door that is open. I enter slowly and realize there are windows everywhere. I feel like I have not seen the day of light in years. I run up to a window and look out at the land beyond. It is so lush and beautiful. The window is slightly open and I can smell that it has recently rained. One of my favorite smells. As I stare out the window I watch as two men walk out of a Loch and start to kiss. I am so intrigued and mesmerized that I keep watching. Then they start to undress each other and I feel like I am witnessing a very private moment that I should not be watching. But I can not help but watch. It is as if I look away I am going to miss some thing important. One of the men looks so familiar like I should know him. But they are too far away for me to really tell.

Halls, Halls, never ending halls. “Wait, did I not just do this already.” I ask my self.

Why so many damn halls. They are never changing and never ending. If I look at the walls too closely they show my memories. Memories I am tired of reliving and seeing, So I do not look at the walls anymore. I can not or I will be driven mad. I am trapped here with no escape with only my memories. I still do not understand why I am here. I have never done anything to harm any one. But people do fear my power. Power that has been bound and I can no longer reach it. It is like large chunks of me are missing or lost some how.

Fire, smoke, screaming. I feel the air whipping past me as I run towards the screams. If I had known this was a set up I would not be doing this. I would have stayed far from here, but I did not know so here I am running towards the issue at hand. When I get to the burning town it is total chaos. I start rounding the survivors up and send them to safety at least that is what I thought I was doing. “No I do not want to see this memory. I do not want to see the carnage of all these innocent people. I can not relive this again. NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!” I scream to myself.

Halls again, wait no I am in a room. Alpha Sean has me trapped in my bedroom in Paisley. What is he saying. Oh yeah he is trying to get my powers to come forward. He keeps pacing back and forth and screaming at me. Why is he trying to get my powers forward? Is he insane or some thing? My powers are bound and no one can undo them. Wait that is not true. My mates can undo them. My mates are my ticket to freedom again. I need to replace my mates, but first I have to get out of Paisley and away from this pack. I need my mates to save me so I can save the Realms.

Crazy I am definitely going crazy. I am talking to myself and wandering the rooms and halls. I have finally found where all the rooms are. I stay away from the halls for now. Most of the rooms are bare but some are furnished and there is a kitchen fully stocked. But I have no need of food or drink. I am stuck in a never ending cycle. I feel my mind slipping further and further away every day that goes by. How many years has it been since I have been trapped here? I sit on a chaise lounge facing a window and let my self slowly drift away. I let my mind go where ever and do not stop it. My body finally lets go of consciousness and I have gone in to sweet oblivion.

I awake in a cold sweat shaking from head to toe. Hydrus is immediately by my side pulling me into his arms. Fenrir comes rushing into the room looking panicked and coming over to my other side. He sits down and starts rubbing my back trying to soothe me. My shaking does not stop but starts getting worse. Suddenly Hydrus picks me up and brings me to the bathroom. Fenrir starts the tub and then disappears in to the dinning room. When the tub is finally full Hydrus climbs in with me in his arms and sits down. Fenrir finally comes back in to the bathroom with some fruits and pastries. He gives Hydrus a look and Hydrus pulls a flask out of the air and hands it to me. I take small sips at first and then I chug it down. Once it is empty Hydrus sends it back to where ever it came from. One of these days I will have to ask him.
