They managed to ask directions and were soon on their way back to the castle until they stumbled across the boy who put them in the precinct to begin with.  "What a drag," Liam said as he scowled down on the boy.   Xavier pushed up his glasses and frowned at them. "You guys are the reason Grandpa is upset with me," he said. "How dare act all innocent around him?"     Liam knelt down to his height. "Depending on the situation boy, we are innocent," he said with a blank expression. "Not everything in this world will go the way you plan it just because you're related to the royals."   "And sometimes, you just have to suck it up and move on," Kurt added as they both left the boy were he stood. He yelled at them from behind but was too scared to go any closer.     "Are there any prisoners in the dungeon?" Natalie asked the guards.   They were in

Her two weeks ultimatum was soon coming to an end and they still hadn't found her mother. Catori sat on the swing, dejected. This was like the fifth pack that they were visiting yet there were no clues as to how to find her mother. From what she could tell, something must have happened to Liam's party, because Fenris was constantly on the phone with them but refused to let her in on what was wrong. She had not heard from Kasa and Kurt for days. Catori gripped the swing tight and cried.   For days, she had been holding in the tears for fear of looking and feeling weak. Finally, she let them flow. "You know, you shouldn't be out here alone," she heard Amar say from behind her. She didn't bother turning around, the other woman sat beside her on the ground.   "Tell me, what's the problem?" the other woman asked. "Something must have made you cry." She offered some of her snacks to Catori, who declined. When she noticed that Catori was no

Liam sighed when Mrs Maxwell finished her explanation of the recent happenings. From the look of things, the situation was worse than they predicted. Cassarina's forehead creased. "Do you think Kurt or Kasa know about this?" she asked him. He shook his head. "I can't say for Kasa, but I don't think that Kurt is aware of this," he replied. "And Kasa is a sweet girl. She won't be party to such a thing," Mrs Maxwell vouched. "Moreover, their father is all for male superiority so he will never consider giving his daughter the position." "I see," the young man said. He looked at her in a somber manner. "Sorry that you had to quit from the council ma'am." She smiled brightly. "It's alright dear, I should have left those dogs a long time ago," she said. Cassarina glanced at the wall clock and realized that it was almost one in the morning. She panicked. "You need to get going," she said

"Catori will be joining our new campaign guys," Mr Dalton said with so much enthusiasm, the redhead had to wonder if he was just a teenager in the body of an adult.   "The color campaign?" the Kasa lookalike asked.   "Yes dear," he replied. He then turned to Catori. "Why don't you all get to know her? I need to attend to some things now." At this suggestion, Catori's eyes went wide. They almost popped out of their sockets. Her insides shivered. The blonde girl looked at her like she had better things than spend a second with an animal like her.   "Okay," one of the boys said. To Catori's absolute horror, the old man left these people with her. The boys were about Fenris' height and even the girls were taller than her. The blonde girl girl scowled at her and left. The others followed behind her. Not knowing what to do, Catori followed behind them. Soon, she fell in step with one of the boys, he was the only who managed to

Kelvin and Erica watched Catori wolf down her second hamburger. They were seated at the far corner of a random restaurant they found a few blocks from the agency. "I'm scared that she might explode any time soon," Erica whispered. Kelvin chuckled. He addressed Catori. "You really have an appetite, don't you," he said. He played with his piece of chicken.  Erica took a spoon of her salad. "No offense but do you always eat like this?" she asked Catori. "How do you mean?" the other girl asked from the other ride of the round table. Erica nervously cleared her throat. "I know that this is none of my business and I should not judge the way you eat or anything, but I just haven't really seen anyone eat more than one hamburger before," she said. "And you finished it in a matter of like two minutes!" "Oh," Catori said, understanding where the other girl was going. "Well, I eat to fi
