Symphony didn’t know how long she was following the sound of the water, but she was happy when the stream finally came into view. She was exhausted from walking and needed to rest. Starlett had gone quiet too, which Symphony assumed was from being so tired. She knew that she had been gone for quite awhile because when she left the house it was a little after 10 in the morning and now the sky was pitch black. She stopped by the stream and sat down. Lucky for her there was a big tree nearby that she was able to sit against. Thankfully it was warm out, so she didn’t need to break out the blankets. As she sat, she looked through her backpack for a snack that she had packed and ate that while she tried to silence her thoughts. As she tried to make sense of the situation, she was unaware of the danger that was waiting for her, hidden in the shadows of the trees, a group of rogues had been following her for several hours and were waiting to make their move. They knew she was alone a

Symphony was settling in nicely in the Village, Pawfoot. She had been there almost a week and had made quite a few friends in that short amount of time. She knew she should keep moving but everyone had been so nice, and she had been helping out the owner of the inn in exchange for board and food. She was reading to the children in the park when she felt the hair on the back of her neck stand up and felt like someone was watching her. As she looked around, she didn’t see anyone out of the ordinary, so she brushed it off. She finished reading to the children a little while later and she still couldn’t shake the feeling that she had gotten earlier. She picked up her pace as she headed towards the inn. She was greeted by the other employees and the owner. She asked if she was need as she suddenly felt ill. The owner told her that it was ok if she took the rest of the day and rested. She thanked her and headed up to her room. When she got to her room, she noticed her door was somew

Symphony sat in silence for a few moments. Taking in everything that Alexander had told her. She didn’t know how to respond to him. She looked at Gavin and the look in his eyes told her that he knew everything before she over heard them in Alexanders office. She was hurt that he didn’t say anything at all to her. Granted he was just there to protect her but still he could have told her.As she stood up and headed toward the door Alexander acted like he wanted to stop her. She had remembered his words though that if she wanted to leave she could and he wouldn’t stand in her way. She saw in Alexanders eyes that he didn’t want her to go. She just shrugged her shoulders and continued out the door. Before she walked out she turned.“Is it ok if I go make some coffee, you guys both look like you could use some, you look like crap.”Alexander almost burst out laughing at her words, Gavin cracked a smile.She headed toward the kitchen when she heard footsteps behind her, they didn’t sound

~Fast forward 10 months~Alexander was starting to lose his patience. It had been ten long months since Symphony had disappeared. Damion told him that the spell that was cloaking her scent should have worn off by now but they were still not able to locate her. Whoever had her must have their own cloaks in place and having someone very powerful on their side that placed it. Damion’s friend wasn’t even able to locate her. Alexander had been driving himself crazy trying to find her. He had guards scouring every inch of the kingdom and they all came back with nothing. No scents, no leftover camp site, nothing. He knew they didn’t just vanish off the face of the earth they had to be somewhere but the big question was where. Damion tried calling in all the favors that he had with everyone and even he was coming up empty. Either no one knew anything or they knew something and we’re to scared to say anything. Damion felt worse with each call he made. He had become very fond of the girl a

After a day of the guards searching the areas that had popped up they found one that looked promising. They called Alexander, Gavin, and Damion with the news. The men met the guards at the location and looked around. Alexander and Damion almost instantly smelled Symphony’s power here, it was very faint, but it was there. The men looked at each other with small smiles, they finally found her.They needed a plan as they couldn’t just waltz in like they owned the place; Symphony could get killed that way. Alexander told Damion to call his witch friend and have them cloaked so they wouldn’t be scented. Next, he had Gavin round up a handful of guards and look for any alternative exits that they needed to be aware of and if there were any have guards stationed near them, he didn’t want anyone escaping. After everything was prepared Alexander shifted into Dax, it was time for him to have his fun, he had been waiting for this a long time. The only request that Alexander had was that Fi
