Washingdad paced around the room worriedly. John and Laf hadn't returned yet and he didn't want to imagine what could've happened to them.

Despite Laf being his adoptive son, George thought of him as a real son. Same went with John.

John was over at their house a lot more than he was at his real home and even if it took some time and trust, John and George had become close.

Theo huffed and stood up, stretching her wings. "Im tired of waiting, we need to go find them."

Everyone agreed and got a few supplies they might've needed before leaving the house.

Theo flee above with Peggy to look around and luckily spotted the group of hybrids surrounding two people (huehue). Theo was about to swoop down when Peggy stopped her.

"Wait, don't go down yet," Peggy warned, her ears and nose twitching slightly.

"Why?" Theo asked, slightly irritated.

"Because I think they just found the source of our problems."

"Elizabeth Kortright what the hell are you doing with them?! Get over here right now!" Monroe hissed but backed away when a round of angry growls and/or hisses came from the group.

Elizabeth squeaked and buried her head into Thomas' chest, who held her gently yet protectively.

"Why the fuck do you have her?! What are you going to do, eat her when she's not expecting it?" Monroe sneered as a male next to him slowly took out his gun.

"We would never. She might be a human but she's still too young to defend herself from people like you," Alex growled.

"Human? Ha! She's barely human, she just doesn't know it yet and I'm the only person who can help her reach her full potential so hand her over and we can go our separate ways," Monroe said, his gaze darkening.

Alex snorted and grinned a toothy grin, revealing his fangs. "As if, you're nothing but a manipulative piece of shit," he hissed, stomping over to Monroe.

There was a flash of fear in Monroe's eyes before he quickly swiped the gun from the male behind him and blindly shot at Alex.

Alex stumbled and fell, letting out a whimper in pain.

John was the first one to be at Monroe, one hand gripping his neck and the other snapping his wrist to drop the gun.

Elizabeth cried out and jumped out of Thomas's arms, running to Alex.

The male took this opportunity to grab Elizabeth. She shrieked and tried to pull away.

Thomas was another swift one, already at the male but he pulled out a dagger and plunged it stright into Thomas' chest. Thomas let out a choked gasp but still remained digilent, swiftly moving his hands over to the male's neck and snapping it.

The male fell just as John threw Monroe's corpse to the ground with a disgusted look on his face.

Elizabeth cried as she held onto Thomas, putting her hands over his wound to try and stop the bleeding.

John quickly went over to Alex, who seemed to be hanging on by a thread already.

"Shot between the ribs," John murmured and pressed his hands over the gunshot. Alex whimpered more.

"C'mon Alex, stay with me here," John whispered and Alex coughed a bit.

Maria and Herc rushed over to try and help but were knocked back by what seemed to be a barrier.

They tilted their heads and tried to touch it, only to be zapped painfully.

Their eyes flicked a bright gold before they froze and fell over, unconcoious.

James and Aaron had taken off, trying to find help for Alex and Thomas.

Elizabeth cried more but quieted down when she noticed her hands were glowing softly over Thomas' wound.

She watched as it began to heal and looked over at Alex.

John was in just as much shock as her as the same process was going on.

As soon as it finished, Thomas and Alex shot up with a start, breathing heavily.

However, it didn't last long as they let out a yelp of pain and held their heads.

John, however, only had a wisp of light gold flicker out from his eyes, the blue of the mind control fading away.

He whipped his head over to Laf, who was clinging onto Herc.

He raised his hand up and to his surprise, a light gold wisp floated over to Laf and whizzed around his head before poofing, the light blue from his eyes fading as well.

Things began to look hazy, but he could've sworn he heard someone, no, two people crash down into the forest near them.

Then, a pain flared through his head and everything went dark.

I'm terrified to think that this book might end soon but I'll ignore the feeling for now. There's still more to answer anyways. Kinda hate this chapter but it's short and packed with various information pertaining to plot so I guess it's okay?? Ehhh
