Secret Stairs
Dante
In 5 minutes, we got there and I pulled over in front of the hall. As I climbed down, I saw Nathan also arrive in his car and he walked up to me, looking confused.
"What's happening?" He asked and I look around. There were so many people arriving at the hall at once, but the doors hadn't been opened.
"Hold on." I walked to Killian and the guard, "Open the doors, don't let anyone in until you communicate with them telepathically and they reply back,' I instructed and they nodded.
I walked back to Nathan and pulled him aside.
"There are Rogues in the pack. They came in through the car of some pack members and killed them," I said and Nathan's eyes widened in surprise.
"But-"
"The Kyanite Stones were dug out," I said, knowing he was going to ask that and he nodded.
"That's why I made everyone come here so we can easily fish them out wherever they are hiding," I explained.
"Wait, but we left Natasha alone in the pack mansion," Nathan said and my heart skipped.
Holy shit! I immediately ran back to my car and I didn't even wait for anyone before starting the car and driving away.
I pulled the gear, zooming down the road at full speed. How could I be so stupid!! Ho could I have forgotten about her.
She was so vulnerable right and the Rogues could do anything if they got to her first.
I looked at the Rear view mirror and saw Nathan's car behind me.
We finally arrived at the mansion and I pulled up quickly, climbing down from the car and running up to the door.
I didn't bother to open the door and I just wanted to push it open, but I got pushed back.
I grabbed the door knob and tried to open the door, but it was closed and I gritted my teeth.
Fuck!
Nathan's car soon pulled over and he climbed out with three other men from the pack.
"The door is locked," I said and kicked it frustration. It was designed to withstand force so there was literally no way to break it down.
"Check the door at the back," Nathan said and one of the men with him ran over to the back of the mansion.
He soon ran back and shook his head, "it's locked."
I sighed, shoving my fingers into my hair and punched the door, wincing as it hurt my knuckles.
"Hello, is someone listening??" I heard a loud voice coming from inside the building.
"Who the heck are you?" I yelled on top of my voice.
"Werewolves just like you. And the beautiful lady we found lying in a room here," he replied and I gritted my teeth.
"Don't you dare lay a finger on her!"
"That depends on how you cooperate," another voice replied and I hit the hall..
"How many of you are here?" I asked.
"That's none of your business," the same person retorted.
"What do you want?" Nathan asked.
"It was about time someone asked."
"You see, last week we came here with three of our friends, and just after they crossed a particular border, they collapsed and we couldn't do anything but watched as they were carted away by guards," He explained and I sighed.
"So if you think that the beautiful lady here is precious to any of you then we would like to have our friends back," He stated and I clenched my fists. I was about to shout back at him and refuse him, but Nathan quickly cut in.
"They were thrown in the dungeon, and the dungeon is right inside the building so how can we let them go if you wont to let us in," Nathan said and I glared at him.
"The dungeon is hidden, and even if they find it you can't get through the door," he whispered to me and I nodded.
"Well, someone is trying to play smart, do you think we are going to let you in?" Someone asked and I sighed in frustration.
"Don't test us. There are so many shiny blades here and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it through the heart of this lady," he threatened and I rolled my eyes.
It wouldn't kill Natasha, but she was still recovering from one and she could have to stay much longer in a state of coma.
"And after you do that, what next?" Nathan asked.
"Once you kill her, what d you think is going to happen. I'm sure you can't stay inside the building forever," Nathan said and there was silence from their end for a while.
"Alright, someone will open the door now, but if you do anything, we'll be in the room with the lady," they finally gave a reply, me and Nathan glancing at each other.
I could hear them whispering inside, but although, their words were inaudible, it sounded as if they were arguing on who was going to open the door.
I finally heard someone walk towards the door and it clicked open. The door was opened and a man looked at us with a straight face, but I could see he was hiding how nervous he felt.
He moved aside and we walked into the building. I had to find a way for us to get to Natasha without alerting them.
I remembered the trapdoor that led to Natasha's room and I faced Nathan, "Nathan, did you move Natasha to her room as I asked?"
He nodded, "yes, and I moved her bed away from the sunlight as Jared said," he replied and I nodded in satisfaction.
We took the man to the dungeon and Nathan took out his keys, opening it.
I created a telepathic link with Nathan and the others as we walked into the dungeon.
"There's a secret stairs leading to Natasha's room. Someone should come with me, Nathan and the rest of you should stall him till you hear from me," I said and they all faced me, secretly affirming with a nod. I walked ahead of them and one of them followed me.
"Where are they going?" The man asked.
"The keys of the cells are hidden, they're going to fetch it while we wait," Nathan replied quickly before he could follow us.
I briefly stopped as I passed by where Bastien was hung. This time, a large silver spear was used to stab his heart and he was strung up with stronger chains.
I continued walking and as I got to the wall, I placed my hand on each brick, trying to find the one it was.
I finally got the brick and the walls parted to reveal the stairs. I could hear those who were inside Natasha's room and I stopped moving.
I honed my wolf hearing to listen to their heartbeats. Natasha didn't have an heartbeat right now and I could hear three different heartbeats.
There were three Rogues in the room.
I walked back into the dungeon and I picked up two short spears, handing one to the man with me before climbing back up the stairs.
I walked slowly, trying not to make any sound and alert them. As I got to the top, I faced the man with me and signaled him before suddenly hitting the trap door.
The door burst open and I immediately jumped up, flinging the spear in my hand t the first person I saw.
The spear stabbed her in the heart and pinned her to the wall. The other man killed another one with the spear I gave him and my eyes darted to the third person in the room.
He picked a sword and lunged at Natasha, but I zoomed in front of him and kicked him across the room.
The sword fell from his hand and I picked it up, throwing it into his heart.
I connected with those in the dungeon and sighed, "Kill Him."
