Sarene had been in the dining hall awaiting for the council when she heard the massive explosion and while she attempted to find cover, she shouted to a number of her gaurds and ordered them to check the dungeons where Gabriel was being kept. The fear that Gabriel somehow managed to lure one of the human gaurds to do his bidding was evidant within her and she quickly got to her feet. A group of gaurds came in, their armor shined beneath the moonlight while a loof of concerned formed on their faces. "What's going on?" Sarene asked. "Did you sweep the cells to make sure that he didn't escape?"

Daryl the head command of the gaurd elite spoke. "We did and found that his cell is empty." 

Sarene’s face went paler than normal and as she took a breath she spoke with a calm tone, "We need to find him before he gets too far. Take your men and sweep the perimeters and the outskirts of the castle."

Darly bowed, "As you wish your majest." He looked to his men and said "Do as she says. We can't allow him to get fat. "His men and himself rushed our the door with the faces if determined  warriors.

A few moments later, the re-opened and in came Marcus, Blake, Nora and Marcus' protégé Emery. She was one human but was fated by the life if eternity through an accident caused by Gabriel’s recklessness. Had Nora and Blake not been there while the accident occured, Gabriel would of gotten to her first. 

"Your majesty, Marcus said as he bowed his head. "We came as soon as we heard the explosion, however, we being extra cautious prior to Gabriel’s men and we weren't sure what he had up his sleeves."

"It's better to cautious rather than not. " Sarene assured them. "Gabriel has escaped. I have my men scouting the castle perimeters and the outskirts just in case he hasn't gone to far." Sarene glanced at Emery and smiled. "It is a pleasure to finally meet you."

"Likewise, Emery replied with a small smile tipped at the corner of her mouth. "I've heard alot about you."

"I am sure it was under terrible circumstances." Sarene replied solemly. "For that I truly apologize."

Emery raised her hand to stop her. "Your majesty," shaking her head as she spoke. "No need to apologize. None of this was entirely your fault. I wn't judge someone unless I know their side of the story first before ruling out my opinions."

Sarene released Emery's hand and nodded. "I am certain we will be able to get to know one another once all this chaos ends."

Emery brushed strands of her flame red hair off of her forehead and responsed lightly. "I agree. We can't allowe Gabriel to escape and cause anymore damage than he already has."

The ground rumbled again and Marcus was the one that spoke. "What is the plan that you have established? I'm sure that you had your men do search."

"I have but they haven't returned to give a report on his whereabouts." Sarene said. "As for your banishment I would like to say that it has been lifted. You're free to come back to the castle's safety once everything settles or free to go where ever you please if you choose to."

"It's about time," Blake was the one who spoke. "All of us where getting sick and tired of that musty old cabin after being under careful watch of the Remus Pack."

"I will order them to stand down," Sarene said as she smoothed hair behind her ear. Her eyes glew from hunger and in the bottom of her stomach, she felt the it. It gnawed at her like a bug but before she could finsish Nora spoke.

"It's not going to be that easy," she went and stood behind the grand table chair and looked at Sarene. "All of them were tipped off by Gabriel so when they hear that our banishment is lifted who knows what they will do."

"Whatever they plan doing once the news hits," Nora said. "I don't plan on being anywhere near them."

"Let's not allow that to come to it," Sarene said. "Shall we?"

"We should do our own search as well." Emery spoke as if she had a plan but niether of them knew what it could of been. "All of us should start looking."

All of them nodded in agreement and without furhter spoken words, Emery and the others followed her out the door.

    "Where would we want to start looking?" Blake had asked me once we left Sarene's Council room. "Gabriel isn't just going to be waiting around for us to catch him." "Given his state of mind at this very moment," Marcus said in return to Blake's comment, "He isn't really the Flash. Moments before the explosion, Sarene had linked me stating that she had drugged him on order to get him in the dungeons. His speed isn't the greatest and what she had given him will last at least a few hours." A few hours isn't going to cut the deadline. Who knows what he has in mind after it wears off." Nora piped in. "We need to find him and end this before he exposes our race of extistence." "I'd rather die than let that ever occur," Marcus replied. "I understand from his perspective that Gabriel wants revenge over an incident that happened centuries ago." Marcus' gaze went to me as he spoke and I felt as though he was trying to tell somethig silently but I didn't know what. I gave him a small shrug and

    An hour had passed and we were already on our way to the road that we spoke of. The thoughts that constantly raced through my thoughts had made me uneasy.Gabriel was once my friend, one that had kept me sane in my time at the labs. The place that those cruel scientists decided to create the very first race of vampires as far as I knew of anyway. There were more of us than I had envisioned honestly. It made me think about whether or not I was the first or those bastards had lied to our faces. What more did they keep from us? From me that I should of known about before? Was Sarene and her parents the first race?I shook my head and turned my focus to reality. As I zipped through the trees and underbrush of the of forest, I looked up at the sky, noticing how bright the stars had gotten alongside the moon, to which it was full. A group of clouds had formed to cover a portion of the moon, causing a mystery vibe from above. I heard Emery's voice loud

    Blake returned a few minutes later, after I had instructed that he'd scout the area. His dark hair was disheveled from the wind and his eyes glowed softly under the fire's embers and his cloths seemed off, as though he had gotten into war with some type of animal but ad I sat on the sofa, checking and double checking to make certain that there was no errors in the map that I had hidden in my closet, was correct, his voice rumbled over my thoughts. "It is clear, Marcus. I made sure that nothing was on that route."I took a breath and folded the map that had been resting lightly in my lap and placed it on the coffee table sitting before me. "Good." I said in all bit a whisper. "Now all we need to do I wait for the girls and head toward town to get everything else from the storage space.""Are you certain you want to do this? Blake asked, a hint of concern rose in his voice. "Who knows how many men Gabriel has in store for us.""I am. Gabriel has this grudge agains

    I felt the sun wan slowly behind the fabric of the darkened curtains as I laid underneath the satin sheet on my bed. My head rested on the pillow while my arm rested under my neck. I rolled over and stared at the ceiling while my thoughts were at war with what to do about the plan to end this charade with Gabriel. I hated the idea of everyone that I was close to get hurt and being holed up like animals when the reality was that we had done nothing wrong. Sarene had been forced to make the decision that very day because Gabriel sought out revenge for what had happened at the labs. The truth was this, I was scared. Scared of going into that place where the scientists had created us. The first line of vampires that had existed. Me and Gabriel and possibly more who had died trying. It made me wonder if Sarene and her parents were apart of what they were doing.The urge to ask her was strong but the Remus pack had a close eye on us the whole time but we also had access to th

    I heard voices but they were only echoes in my mind and for a brief moment I had thought that I was going crazy. Memories flashed before my eyes. Of Marcus and I, locked in the cells of that lab. Doctors doing their rounds and scientists not far, jotting down our results in charts that were unable to be seen. The moment Marcus was able to escape was they day began to loathe him for everything that he was. The friendship that we had formed was now gone and in its' very place was a sense of revenge. It was more of a need than a feeling. Marcus had abandoned me and that was enough to never want to see him alive. Fate on the other hand, had its' course and when he showed up at the castle that night, he saw the opportunity. The chance to exact that need.I heard myself grunt at the thought and by the time I fully came to focus, he realized that there were more than two guards dragging his dead weight down into the dungeons and of course he was too weak to do anything.
