Madness Decends 8. Hostage
It should take Artemis about 15 minutes to fly his BMW down here, so Rei hoped he could hold their interest till then. Staying on Briar’s truck, playing cat and mouse with the driver. Sure enough, 15 minutes later, Artemis pulled right in front of Briar’s truck. Seeing Artemis slow traffic behind him allowed Rei to sneak up behind the truck, the driver focused on Artie’s car. When people saw that they were slowing down, they turned down other streets. Leaving just Artemis, the truck, and 3 other cars in front of Rei. “Artemis, what are you doing? We don’t know who is in there.” Rei yelled into his phone. “Calm down, brother. Turn right at the next intersection, I’ll stay in front. 'See you shortly'.” Artemis gave Rei the code, meaning he was going to be the bait, leaving Rei to give chase. “Here we go.” Rei turned down the road Artemis told him to, parked his Jeep and ran on foot until he was behind a building. Dove burst forth from Rei, running in the direction of his brother. L

“Briar KingBear, this your mother. If you don’t call me back, I’m sending the police to track you down. Now is not the time to ignore me!” Noni yelled into her phone. She was dreading the call she had to make next.“Noni? What’s,” Kyle started, but Noni cut him off. “Briar hasn’t come home yet. I don’t want to over react, but this is how it always begins. Better start looking for a new city for us now. I think they found her.” Noni said clearly frustrated. “Don’t panic, Noni. Bri can take care of herself. I made sure of that.” Kyle said, trying to reassure her. “Could she have just gone out with some people from classes?” Kyle suggested. “That’s what I was thinking, but she hasn’t been answering her texts or calls, not even Rina has heard from her since this morning.” Noni said. “Just call the police station and give them her truck description, the dealer’s plates are still on her truck, so law enforcement shouldn’t have too hard of time recognizing it. They will call me if they f
Madness Decends 10. Captive
When Briar came to, she was in a dark, cold room. She could feel something heavy around her wrists, making her unable to move very far. As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she saw a figure standing motionless in the corner, shrouded by shadows. “Hello? Who are you? Why am I here?” Bri asked the figure. Receiving no answer, she yelled hoping for different results. “You are definitely your father’s child. When you emerge, you will be lethal. With the right training, that is. Keep quiet in here, A doesn’t like to be disturbed.” The figure ducked out of the room. “Who is A? Tell me, please?” Briar screamed. She didn’t understand anything the figure was talking about. Emerge? She knew what the word meant, she just couldn’t figure out how it applied to her.Not knowing how much time had passed from when the figure left, to the time she heard footsteps approaching the door to the room she was in. Before the person opened the door, Bri crawled into the darkest corner of the room, prepari

Briar sat up, rubbing her eyes, pissed at herself for falling asleep. She had no idea how long she has been in that room, but she was getting tired of being there. “Is anyone there? I am hungry and I have to pee!” She screamed. With no answer, Briar stood up, careful of her chains, and started slamming her foot on one of the walls. “You can't keep ignoring me! I am a human, with rights! Ahhhhh!” She screamed. Slumping back to the floor, Bri rested her head on the wall behind her. When she closed her eyes, a scene flashed in her mind of a beautiful wolf with golden fur running through a clearing, with a big, black and red colored wolf hot on her tail. The golden wolf was fast, trails of fire streaked behind it. Halfway across the clearing, the golden wolf skid to a stop, the fire surrounding her, a barrier against threats. It was meant to stop the other wolf from advancing on her, but as the black and red wolf got closer, the fire around the gold wolf started to die down, finally t

“Are you alright, son?” Kyle and Rei ran over to Artemis, while the others went in search of the Wolf that howled. Rei looked at Artemis, “Who was that? Did you see?” Rei asked. “No. I have never come across its scent before tonight. Father is right, there is a new player in town. Kyle, do you recognize the scent?” He asked. “I thought I recognized the howl, but I don’t know for sure.” Kyle sighed. “Tris and Nico are out there. They may have seen who it was and given chase.” Artemis said. “Rico and Shae are out there as well. They are my best tracker and seeker.” Kyle said. “If they meet up with Nico and Tris, the four of them won’t kill each other, will they?” Noni asked. “No. They know your husband and his wolves are here, helping. There will be no quarrels.” Rei said, walking towards the house. The rest of them followed in silence. Once inside, Rei sat at the dining room table, receding into his mind where he could speak with Dove, his inner wolf. Artemis stood watch over h

“Does he really believe he can corrupt the Light Bringer? If he thinks that he is sorely mistaken. I haven’t felt power like hers since the last time she was awake. Why now? She is almost ready to emerge as it is, he’s insane.” Misha argued. “Misha, all you have to do is smile, have a little compassion, and pretend to be someone she can open up and talk to. Yes, she is Kitsune, but first and foremost, Briar is a girl. Girl’s talk, don’t they? There are things A needs to know to further his hold on Kitsune, and I’m not the talking type.” Troy barked. “Why did you offer me up for this, Troy? I hate that rat for what she did to our mother.” Misha growled at him. “Let it go, sister. It is a new Era, and she was weak, Misha. Kitsune gave our mother the chance to walk away, but she stood her ground and that’s where she fell. Our father should have been the one to take Kitsune on, not our mother.” Troy said. “I was right there. I saw how it was. Mom said no to Kitsune once, and the bitch

Arriving back at the KingBear house Dove and Artemis walked through the door and straight into wolf war 3! “You have got to be kidding me! I will not step back from this because you man children think you have it all under control! You’re not leaving me behind this time.” Noni was arguing with Kyle and the rest. “Woah, simmer everyone! We aren’t getting anywhere fighting like this. Dove has something he needs to tell you.” Artemis nodded at him. “Before we left to come back here Artie and I felt the static of Kitsune pushing outward, trying to catch a wolf mind that would listen. Soon after that we felt a tremor.” Dove explained. “The reason we couldn’t track who took her down is because they are underground.” Artemis concluded. “I may know where they are.” Rico said. “Kyle, do you have a map?” “Yeah, Noni, where did you put my atlas?” Kyle asked. “Be right back.” Noni went off in search for the map. “All of you listen to me closely. We are going out to get Briar back tonight.
Madness Decends 15. Family Lies
Hot on Dove’s heels, Artemis intended on getting to the bottom of his brother’s attitude problem and his father’s secrets. “Dove, stop!” Stryxx’s voice surfaced. “We need to talk. Will you hear me?” “Of coarse. I always have time for our little sisterly talks.” Dove rolled his eyes. As soon as Dove turned, Stryxx, fully released, knocked him to the ground with Stryxx’s huge wolf paw pinning him there. “Let me up. You don’t want what’s on my B side, trust me, brother.” Dove growled, shaking in rage. “You will calm down so we can speak like civilized men. We are not monsters, brother.” Stryxx shouted. “Maybe not, but we’re are little better than animals. We lie, cheat, wage wars, and force our own wolves to fight their brothers and sisters for what? Power? The biggest, baddest Wolfpack? It’s criminal what we put ourselves through.” Dove went completely still and Stryxx pulled him to his feet. “I never knew you felt this way. Rei has rubbed off on you, in a good way.” Stryxx smiled,
