The Return

Theo/Gage's POV

"So what do we do now?" We ask mom as we all sit down in the meeting room. Everyone looks panicked and who could blame them. Mom continues to pace around, running her fingers through her hair over and over again. We can see that Dad is very worried about her. Looking over at Izzy we see her looking down at her fingers.

"You alright?" We ask her as we place our hand on her shoulder. She looks up at us, nodding while smiling at us.

"I'm just scared. I don't want anyone to be hurt." She says standing up and walking to the window. We sigh as we run our hand over our face, feeling frustrated. Why did we have to bring all this drama back to them? Everyone could be living perfectly happy, not having any worries in their lives.

"Theo you better stop blaming yourself right now." We hear mom say sternly from in front of us. We look up sadly and see her crouching in front of us. We go to speak but she shakes her head at us.

"Theo, even if you weren't involved in this, Bane would have still come after us. None of this would have been avoided in any way. Please don't think that any of this is your fault because it's not." She says as she places her hand on our cheek. We sigh, leaning into her touch. We look around at everyone, caring for them so much. We knew that we'd protect each and every one of them if need be, even Adrian. We turn back to Mom and nod our head. She smiles before standing up and kissing our head. She walks over to Dad and sits on his lap, talking to him softly. We feel Izzy stand next to us. We look up at her before pulling her down onto our lap. She smiles up at us before kissing our lips softly.

"Alright, now what's our plan?" Mom asks everyone seriously, looking us all over.

"What if we went to them? Perhaps Macey would know where they're hiding out? Why must we wait for them to attack us, they'll probably do it when we're at our most vulnerable." Gabe says as he paces around the room. We look over at Mom and see her thinking about it.

"It sounds like a good plan. Alright I'll go find out and let everyone know as soon as possible." She says before walking out the room along with Dad.

"D-Daddy, can I-I help t-too?" We hear Charlie ask as his father picks him up. He looks at his son with a soft smile.

"When you're older but not now Charlie. You're too young." Charlie pouts up at his father, making us chuckle softly at him. Everyone soon makes they're way out, leaving only Izzy and I left.

"Well, I don't know about you, but I'm going for a run. You coming with?" Izzy asks, standing up and looking down at us. We nod our head, standing up and walking out the room with her. We walk out the house heading over to a tree before stripping. We quickly shift before putting our clothes in our mouth. We look over at Izzy, seeing that she's waiting for us. Walking over to her we nip her tail before dashing into the forrest. We hear her growl before we hear paws running behind us. We mentally smirk before running faster, quickly hiding from her.

We see her pass us but then stop when she gets confused as to where we went. We shift quietly before climbing up a tree. Once we're right above her, we jump off, shifting in mid air and tackling her to the ground. She yelps as we roll down a hill, we swap us around so we take most of the hits instead of her. Once we stop rolling she's on top of us, looking at us with a playful glare.

"Not funny." She says through the mindlink. We roll our eyes before she climbs off of us. We stand up and walk next to her as we stroll through the woods. As we continue to walk we see a few animals run by us quickly. We soon emerge from the trees and walk into the clearing that we usually go to. We lay down by the water and relax. We lay our head on hers, enjoying the peace.

Though we spoke too soon.

We suddenly hear the siren that alerts us of intruders. We stand up immediately and stand over Izzy, hearing someone approaching us. We growl as we immediately know who the scent belongs to.

They step out from the trees, smirking over at us.

"Bane and his army are here!" We yell through the pack link, getting everyone's attention. We hear everyone yelling orders through it, so we shut everyone off before focusing on the monster in front of us. We shift back, putting on our clothes, glaring at them all.

"Aw poor Theo and his mate are all alone. Such a shame that you'll be dead by the time your mother shows up." He says, making us snarl as we stand in front of Izzy. He rolls his eyes before whistling for something. We hear rustling coming from behind him before a large group of people walk out, carrying weapons with them.

Observing them more we notice some of them have wings, Angels. The others don't have wings but we could still feel the power radiating off of them. We assume that these are witches. As we look over at all of them we notice that some of the Angels don't look happy about this. Probably only doing it 'cause they're Queen ordered them to do it. She has no right to be called a Queen. We glare at all of the Witches who are betraying Queen Charlotte.

"Theo? What do we do now?" We hear Izzy ask as she shifts back and puts her clothes on.

"I have no idea, but I'm not letting any of them hurt you." We say to her sincerely. We'd rather die than let them hurt Izzy.

"You know, maybe I'll just kill you and take Izzy for some of my friends. They have been looking for a new slave-" We immediately cut him off with a growl, causing the ground to shake. He looks over at us in surprise before that smirk returns.

"Stop playing around you idiot and just kill him already!" His mate yells at him, glarring over at us. Bane nods before looking over the army.

"Kill him." He says to a group of ten, looking away from us as he turns back to his mate. We stand in front of Izzy, snarling at the group who's coming near us with evil smirks. All of them are witches. Traitors.

"Come on pup." One of them mocks us, throwing his knife up in the air before catching it. We stalk forward, hating the challenge. The group circles us, leaving Izzy out of the group. We watch all of them carefully, seeing how they move. At the side of our eye we see someones stance change into an attack form. They go to throw a spear at us, aiming for our head. We duck and the spear hits another person in his chest. He looks down at it before falling to the ground.

"Bring it." We think in our head, smirking at all of them.
