"I wasn't being a baby." Vance said, sitting there as he felt the sting of the cotton ball touch his wound.

"Yes you were, don't even try to deny it." Mia countered, putting the cotton ball down and applying the neosporin to the band-aid. She put the band-aid on his side directly over the wound, wrapping some of the gauze around his midsection where the wound was and cutting it after a few circles. "There.. you... go." She put the medical supplies away, wiping the blood from her hands on her already bloodstained shirt.

"Thanks, I owe you one. Well, I've got no shirt now but I guess that's okay. I think it's about time me and miles headed home though. See you tomorrow?" Vance stood up and so did miles.

"K, you can just pick me up tomorrow to get my shirt." Mia winked, too tired to make a smart joke to go with it. "See ya tomorrow." She nodded, disappearing into the woods by foot. The burn rings around her wrists and ankles were still there, along with the cuffs that had been forgotten due to more serious matters. I'll get Richard to make a key to open these later. She thought to herself, weaving easily between the trees. Eventually a small orange figure caught up with her, it looked exactly like Miles except for the deep blue eyes. "Hey little guy, I guess you need a name. How about Bandit, your eyes and complexion give you the appearance of one." She laughed, holding her arms out for the exceed, Bandit, to hop in.

Vance and miles reached home easily and got into bed, although the dragonslayor found he couldn't sleep. "I've only spent a day with her, yet it feels like I've known her forever. I think I like her too. I wonder if she feels the same way?" As he said that, Vance found himself drifting off to sleep.

Mia collected Bandit in her arms and continued walking, knowing it was an hour or two of walking before she reached her pack again. She yawned a couple times, masking the sound of someone following her through the woods. Oblivious to the fact that she was being followed, it was quite easy for her attacker, one of the same guys from before, to hit her over the head with something heavy. Mia could feel blood start flowing from where the mysterious figure hit her but she was slowly losing consciousness, the forest looking darker by the second. Not a sound escaped her mouth as the attacker picked her up and threw her over his shoulder, for she had already slipped into unconsciousness.

The next morning, Vance and miles flew to where mias pack were abd began to look for her. "Hey, has anyone seen mia?" He asked.

The little girl from before, Jacquelynn, approached Vance with tears in her eyes. She was the mirror image of Mia when Mia was a small child. "Y-you h-haven't s-seen her?" She asked, stuttering with tears in her eyes.

Vance knelt down in front of her. "No, I haven't little girl. Why, did she never come back last night?"

Jacquelynn shook her head no, tugging on Vance's pants leg. "Promise me you'll find her?" She asked, wiping the tears from her eyes.

**Meanwhile**

Darkness filled Mia's vision as her eyes opened slightly, her head pounding from being hit in the back of the head. Her arms were strung up and behind her, attacked by silver chains somewhere to the wall giving her more burns to add onto the ones she already had. Lifting her head up, she noticed she was in a basement of sorts, a small amount of light filtering through a window high up on the far wall.

"I will, I promise." Vance promised. "Miles, lets go pay someone a visit." Vance jumped up into tge air and began to fly towards tge hospital they had been dragged to the other day. "Unless I miss my guess, we'll find her here." He said as he landed.

The little girl smiled and nodded, running back to a tent close to the treeline.

Mia moaned and strained against her bonds until her wrists were bloody from trying to break free, the blood running down her arms and staining the dirty stone floor. She had no sense of time or place here, the only clue to where she was was the sunlight streaming through the window, giving her a migraine. Where am I?? She tried to speak but her mouth felt like it had been stung by a thousand bees.

Vance busted through the door and began to look around, trying to think of places they would keep mia.

Instead of attempting to speak again, Mia just moaned. Her wrists felt like they were on fire from the silver, if she didn't get them off soon she would die from silver poisoning. In a last attempt to free herself, Mia struggled even harder against the bonds that held her. The sound reverberated throughout the small basement she was in, along with her screams. Finally out of hope, Mia lay back against the wall with her arms above her head and let herself float in and out of consciousness from the blood loss.

Vance found it strange that the hospital seemed to be abandoned.walking back to the front, Vance heard the phone ring on the main desk. Guessing it might give him a hint as to where she was, Vance answered it. "Hello?" He asked. "Hello young Vance benos. Don't bother to ask how we knew you would come here at this exact time for it's no concern to you. We have captured the young woman and will soon be coming for you, dead or alive. If you just so happen to escape and wish to look for your own death, you may find us at the scientific research facility a little ways down the street. Goodbye." At the same time the man on the other end hung up, the hospital exploded with vance and miles inside, the Dragonslayor shielding the cat from the blast. A man in a labcoat walked into the room mia was in and looked up at her as she hung from the wall. "Hello young werewolf."

"Who the hell are you?" Mia snarled, still sitting on the floor. She wasn't in the mood to play anymore, she was angry and weak, which he probably knew. "If you want a serious ass whooping I suggest you let me the hell go." She screamed, thrashing around again despite the pain in her wrists.

"I think your in no state to do anything. Then again neither is your boyfriend. My men will bring him to me shortly, or whatevers left of him." The man snickered.

(Do you have tomorrow off?)

(Naw man, I start school tomorrow 'cuz of the snow days up here.)

"He's not my freaking boyfriend. What do you even want with me anyway, shithead." The bleeding in her wrists continued due to her thrashing around, the wounds going to leave scars now because of how much she has struggled.

"I want you for research purposes. And I think since He's nothing to you, i'll kill him and study his corpse along with those two cats." The man said, pulling out a large needle.

"Don't you dare touch him!!!" Mia screamed, still thrashing around. When she saw the needle she stopped dead in her tracks, needles being one of her few fears. "Don't touch Vance, Miles, OR BANDIT." She whispered threateningly, "The first time I get out, I swear I will kill you."
