POV KittyI tightened my grip on Neil's shoulders as he soared down the stairs. Suddenly, we heard a loud bang above us."Time to get out of the stairwell." Locke yelled.We ran through a door as we heard several more doors bang open and shut below us."Do you think they made it to the bottom floor?" I asked Locke referring to the group that contained my cousins, Uncles and Tommy."If not, they were close. The workers on the lower levels will help them get down to the last one. This isn't the only stairwell, it's just the only one that connects all the floors." he answered as we looked at the floor we were on. It was dark and quiet. I could barely see and I was glad

POV KittyAs we stepped through the door, I couldn't believe the sight in front of me. The guard stepped to the side and we all backed up to the wall. Saga spelled the door while I clung to Neil and stared. In front of us was a group of council warriors. They weren't facing us and that's not what had me speechless. In front of them, staring right at us was Craig with Sally. Tommy, Colton, Skye, Paul, Owen, Zeke, Stone, Cash and a bunch of Vampires were there. They all looked a bit roughed up but I was relieved to see them relatively unharmed. Just then, the council warriors started to turn towards us. That knocked me out of my stupor. I jumped off of Niel and started casting. I was throwing spells from my pockets and casting more that I didn't even know that I knew.

POV CraigI took a deep breath and gripped Kitty's hand as Clay swung the door open. We silently walked in and looked around. We looked to be in a giant storage area. There were cabinets and drawers all over the walls and lining down the middle. I turned to look at Kitty in confusion. She shrugged with just as much confusion in her eyes.Tommy looked towards us and opened his mouth to speak when we heard a shuffling sound. Neil gestured for us to stay quiet as we crept towards the noise silently. We crept around another corner to see Nick frantically searching through drawers and throwing stuff around. We watched as he grabbed something and nodded. He threw that object into a gym bag that was on the floor next to him. Then he continued searching.Clay and I glance at each other but then I saw Nick freeze in my peripheral vision. My eyes snapped to him and I watched in horror as he took a deep breath and smirked."Kitty." he said and turne

POV CraigI woke to the sound of a scream. Not just any scream, it was Kitty's scream. The sound had me jumping to my feet. As I stood, Clay looked over to me. He looked like he was just getting up as well. I looked around to see Neil standing looking in horror around the room. Abby and Tommy were still on the ground but I could see them breathing.I could hear a voice talking and even laughing faintly. Clay, Neil and I all exchanged a look and crept towards the noise. Just as we were about to turn the corner we heard a sound that I never want to hear again. It was Kitty screaming but it was such a raw and primal sound, full of heartbreak and fear but yet resilience and bravery too. It was bittersweet and made my eyes tear up.A bright light appeared and we rushed towards it. We were shocked to see that it was Kitty. She was literally radiating light. It washed over us and I felt a calmness in my soul. When it faded along with her scream, I was

POV KittyWhen we got back to the pack house. Colton ordered everyone to go rest and to regroup that evening for a huge dinner. "Will everyone have a bed?" I asked Craig and he smiled at me as he carried me up to our room."Darlin' we don't even use half of the rooms in this place. Everyone will be fine." he assured me.He walked into our room and I took a deep breath. "I can't believe that I'm finally here again. I've missed this place so much." I sighed as he set me on the bed."Sally helped me set your alter back up and I was sure to bring all your things back and put them away." Craig said as he opened the cupboard to show me the alter."Thank you so much! I was worried about my Mother's book." I smiled at him."Like I would leave something so important to you." he scoffed."I'm gonna take a shower. I feel gross." I stated as I stood up."Can I join you, Darlin'?" he asked.I looked u
