"Also just because he cant stop himself from fighting doesnt mean he cant resist. he will do his best to go easy on me, and thats what will keep me alive long enough for you to stop him."
"You. Have. To." he said glaring at her, "Its the only way we'll get out. Alive."
"I. Will. Not. Let. You. Fight. Him. Alone." Letha said and she poked him in the chest with every word.
Sirus got hold of her, feeling his aura swell changing him as red streaks flashed across his skin. "Listen to me Letha. There is absolutely no way we can get out if you dont find his amulet." he said frustratedly " And IM the only one that has a chance. Want to know why? Be cause I've been fighting people stronger than me my whole life. Just.To.Stay.ALIVE. My own father hates me. And my mother was forced to leave me. I have the same mother as Skye. And hunters forced her to leave. And do you want to know why i have a chance? Because of my fathers blood." he says the word with pure hatred. "My Sire was the Alpha of the nightshade pack, I was his SLAVE. But either way he couldnt stop genetics, I have his power. I. Hvae the power of an Alpha. Which means I. and I alone. Have a chance."
Letha glared at him, shooting daggers with her eyes "I know the rest, I am a little human girl, unable to stand up for herself or her family and friends," she twisted out of his grip and walked over to her daggers, picking them up and putting them away. She started towards the fortress and didn't look back at Sirus.
Sirus may have been angry at the moment but he wasnt stupid, " what am i saying?! I dont stand a chance! Ive seen him go toe to toe with alex, my freaking kid brother! and alex controls harmonix if Skye can stand up to that so easily then what chance do I have!?" he thinks franticly " no. calm down. you have to convince Letha to go along with it or you're dead!"
Leth continued to walk, thankful that the sky was dark to hide her and her fears. You'll be fine Letha…you've fought people that are stronger than you before..
"You arent useless. ro helples." he said. "No one is. Listen uh.." "argh how do i explain…." " Uhm.. well i dont know how to make you understand, but Skye is really powerful, he'll beat you in 2 seconds, and he could easily have me in less, Ive seen him duel before, against my younger brother, without breaking a sweat either…"
Letha ignored Sirus and didnt look back. Her heart was pounding and she shivered lightly.
Sirus sighed and shifted as he went after her he came up in front of her and stopped shifting to face her. "Letha please listen to me. When I was a kid I learned the hard way not to make friends. Not to be friendly. And most importantly not to care about anyone. Because I knew the alpha would hurt them and make them hate me. But, now I have people to care about. Who actually care about me… and I dont want to lose them. And one of those people happens to be you. And as much as I hate it I'm asking you to do the most dangerous job. Finding Skhes amulet is going to be the most difficult thing. See the hunters dont see us as people. Just property. And an amulet is a means to control and wield us as servants. If you steal the amulet you are stealing their property. Kye is powerful. Therefore he is valuble. If you steal his amulet I guarantee you'll have dozens of hunters on you in an instant. If not other halfbloods too. " he sighed. "I need you to do this. For all we know Skye could be charmed not to leave the fortress. And he'll never truly be free without his amulet. That's why we have to get it for him"
Letha looked away from Sirus and brushed past him after he finished his speech, "Fine.." She whispered "But as soon as I find it I am coming to help you, no questions, no excuses, and I will not leave until we get you and Skye out of there…like I said, even if I die in the process.."
Sirus sighed in relief. "I didnt expect anything less" he said dived that she 'd actually listened.
(We're still getting sirus caught right? And letha injured. And Skye out but injured?)
(And btw I will be here awhile)
(Yes, yes, yes, and ok)
Letha huffed shook her head "Now, how do we get in?"
"Leave that to me." Said sirus as he shifted so she could get on.
(Hey @Minimum ! Where are you?)
(Also sorry bout disappearing I'm not tired but my mom came in… and well I'm good..)
(It's ok!)
Letha climbed onto Sirus' back and smiled lightly "Let's get going."
Sirus didnt move instead he concentrates summoning shadows to envelope them. Then when he opened his eyes he saw a tunnel made of shadows. He began padding down it, the red streaks in his fur glowing as he pressed furthur into the shadows.
Letha watched the shadows as Sirus walked through them, completely amazed.
Sirus concentrated again and the shadows enveloped the 2 of them sirus shifted taking lethal hand as he did muttering some kind of incantation as he waved his hand into the shadows. "Show me" he whispered audibly before returning to his muttered incantations for about 5 minutes more as the shadows took shape
Letha looked at the shadows and just listened to Sirus' mumbling, still in awe.
Then the shadows beneath them took a shape and looked like the palace below them. "Skye" he whispered. And the shadows moved and suddenly they were outside a shadow version of Skyes cell. Sirus walked through the shadow bars and grabbed skyes shoulder. Then he concentrated and all of a sudden skyes form took color. And a definitive shape. And before it could register sky was there. His form was a bit transparent but he was there. Skye turned and faced sirus enveloping him in a hug.
"I knew you'd come!" Skye said happily
Letha smiled and stood to the side, watching Skye and Sirus happily.
"Thanks for finding him letha." Said Skye as he turned to her.
Sirus gave him a funny look. "Are you ok? How many hunters are there? Are there others? Are you under any commands we should know about?" He questioned quickly.
Letha nodded silently and looked away, studying what Skye's cell looked like.
Skye faced his brother. His face like stone. " Yeah I'm ok. There are a lot of hunters. And im being forced to fight other halfbloods to the death. Anyone who isnt an enemy who happens to stand before me I end up attacking. All out. No mercy." Skye looks worriedly at his brother. "Listen I know you're good-"
Sirus cuts him off. "We're getting you out. Weather you like it or not. " he says firmly. Then looking over at letha. "Please dont wander you could easily get lost if you go too far" he says motioning for her to stay close as he grabs his brothers shoulder. "Wolfs aura!" He says firmly as a violet streak appears in his hair and a black one in skyes. Skye begins to glow as the shadow structure moves to show them another much larger room. This one held an object that glowed with Skyes aura. And floated over a table. Sirus muttered something else and more objects all around the large room glowed.
"ok.." She said quietly and watched the shadows change.
Sirus gasps as all the different lights appear. Skye pales as he looks around. Then pales even more as he fades from veiw. Sirus stares. Staring at all the lights staring in horror at what each one meant.
"What?" she asked Sirus, "What's wrong?"
