"I thought we wanted to travel down to America." Mike opposes. "Why did we just go to the pack in UK without my car then?"
"We will refund you. Nevertheless, your keys and certificates are with us." Austin says.
"Guys!" Richard calls out, as they walk in a very dark wilderness filled with monsters of different kinds. Now, not even talking about Demons, Elves, Witches, Wizards or vampires. These are higher in rank to even demons.
But, still, the six Betas walk through it, with Mike and with Kellie, their intention to scream and alert the extra paranormal beings to attack anyone following them behind for the purpose of retrieving Kellie."
"We did a very great job!!" Alfred exclaims. "Yo, yo!"
"Yay, YEPPIE." Others join him. "Where are we heading to, now?"
"Get some rest. Question the two strangers. And maybe enjoy her." Alfred replies.
Kellie shudders at hearing his last statement, "If I understand your statement well, please I would like to tell you that my own chosen mate has not even touched me so please don't try any nonsense." She raises her voice but Austin tucks his fingers into her throat.
"Don't shout." He tells her, and Kellie drags his fingers out, making them drop unintentionally at her blossoms. Austin cuddles it before she jerks his fingers away again.
"I guess George is enjoying a lot. Imagine!" Austin comments, sticking those fingers to his tongue.
"What should we imagine?" Mike asks.
"No one should bother. No one should bicker. Just keep moving. Silently." He retorts, and they agree and continue moving until they get to a safe house.
"Kellie and Mike first." Richard orders. "Make sure they get into the room first."
They choose a room in the safe house, and all of them gather in that only room making it stuffed up. There are some other free rooms but they need to be together and know their next agenda.
"You kidnapped the mate of a demon; you're gonna regret this, I'm telling you." Mike says.
"SHARRAP!" Alexander barks at him. "Since he didn't give us his attention, we must make sure he's the one begging for the brat's release."
Kellie spits on Alexander's forehead, and as he's about to retaliate, Mike gets in between them.
"How would you hit a lady?" He asks.
"SHARRAP!" Alexander barks at him while others knock on Kellie's head. "Are you nuts?"
"The PEABRAIN spat on me." Alexander protests. "What the hell is that! You all, aren't saying a word."
"Well, I'll say it's your luck." Alfred chuckles. "Why did you call her a brat?"
"Oh wow! This is how you're gonna betray me. Fools." Alexander clenches his fist, and separates from them. He moves into a different room, cussing under his breath and no one calls him back or apologizes on Kellie's behalf.
"Me staying with you doesn't do you any good." Kellie speaks up. "Just let me go, and don't invite the fury of one greater than you, on yourselves."
"Only if you can help us get George's attention. We need to go down there at America to track down the pack and meet them unexpectedly."
"And what does my mate have to do with this?"
"We know he's a wizard, he'll help us coordinate everything properly. I'm sure of that."
"Can't you ask your master to do that for you?"
"He is not a wizard. He's stupid, silly, a mere wolf and a tyrant. He betrayed his pack, betrayed us as well."
"This is what you should have told me in the pack house." Kellie replies. "Instead of bringing me here and letting my parent and mate worry."
"He wouldn't listen! He wouldn't. He asked for Alfred as a proof; and luckily, that day, we came all together. I mind linked Alfred, he came over. And instead of your mate giving us a great idea or agreeing to follow us, he beat Alfred up and fumed back in."
"What... What..." Kellie stammers, and sighs. "Goodness gracious! What's gonna happen next now?"
"You can only be released if you mind link George and ask him what we wanted to ask. If not, you're still here, sitting intact with us."
"What if my mind link has not been activated?"
"As he said..." Austin recaps Douglas' statements. "...you'll keep being here with Mike and us."
"No!" Kellie slightly yells. "I mean, would you help me activate it?"
"Um, yeah." Alfred replies. "But that's through the peaceful order of one of the black tigers. He would only tear your skin apart, and then your mind link is available to anyone - be it a wolf, vampire..."
"I understand." Kellie cuts in. "Let's try some of the tigers out."
"Sure!" Austin retorts. "Richard, come up with me. Let Alfred, Henry and Douglas stay with Mike."
Richard springs up from the chair, and follows Austin behind.
They get to one of the tiger's pack centre.
"Please, who's in here?" Austin gently knocks on the door. Then, Kellie sees three gigantic tigers approaching them from behind.
"Who's here!?" Austin's voice starts to increase in intensity, as he bangs his fists on the door. "Please, save us."
Hearing the noise, the tigers increase their pace to get them on time. One inch apart, Kellie gulps and shuts her eyes, expecting to be consumed while Austin and Richard remain transfixed to a point. Then, immediately, the door to the tiger's pack centre flings open, and Austin pulls Kellie in and Richard tucks himself subtly in.
And then, they shut the door tight, breathing in and out repeatedly, simultaneously cautioning themselves not to make any noise.
Those three gigantic tigers chasing them are the dangerous ones. Normally, to order a tiger here, you don't need violence or screams. Just wave at it, smile, and have no intention of hurting it or them. And again, tigers found outside can't be ordered because of reasons best known to them. So, now, Austin & Richard with Kellie are in the tiger's pack room, moping around the big room as though in a SUPERMART or supermarket and moving around to choose what you love and can afford.
"White, Red, or Pink?" Austin asks Kellie as they stop in front of the named colored tigers.
"White." She replies.
Austin waves calmly at one of the white tigers with his left and right palms. The white tiger becomes activated, and moves towards them.
"To activate her mind link." Richard tells it, and a long fang springs out from his mouth. Kellie yells but Austin covers her mouth immediately.
"Don't yell. Endure this. It's to your advantage."
Then, Austin holds her down until she gets to her knees. The white tiger slightly groans as he starts tearing her skin apart.
"Ouch." Kellie remarks. "This is painful!"
"A bit more, dear." Richard encourages. "Please, endure. If you shout, all these tigers would pursue after us. With the those three tigers out there. They would tear our skin apart."
As the tiger continues the tearing from her neck, Kellie yells with all her might, and the long fang returns inside the tiger's mouth as he, with all other tigers in the pack room chase after them. Austin gets up immediately, and with Kellie's hands taken into his, he storms out of the room.
"Let's keep apologizing!" Richard lags behind them. "We need this, Austin, we need this!"
"You had better join us now!!" Austin yells as he gasps for air and Richard joins them behind immediately. He soon catches up with them as they run with their wolf power as though their lives depend on it.
Then, the sound of wet squelching and guttural growling descend in their front. They are slimy beasts with no real shape in their faces.
"What is this, oh goodness?" Austin remarks, making sure Kellie sticks to him still. They look back and discover that the tigers in the room pack have let themselves free as they jerk towards them.
Subtly, Austin bends his head and escapes with Kellie. Richard tries to do the same but he gets captured. The monster, without wasting time, and without pursuing Austin and Kellie anymore, tear Richard in pieces as other tigers in the room pack join him and soon turn Richard into his skeleton.
"What happened?" Kellie asks, out of fear. "Richard is not coming behind."
"He would be here now." Austin says, ignorantly. "He escaped, I saw that."
Kellie sobs, "I didn't see that. I can only see blood."
"What! Blood?" Austin says, and looks back only to see the tigers and monsters gathered around Richard and having their filed day on him.
"AAHHHHHHH!!!!!" Austin yells, and they dart towards him again. His brain clicks that they hate noise, so he runs faster with Kellie as the tigers pursue him hotly. As he opens the door to the house and enters with Kellie, a white tiger pup clutches onto Kellie. Austin wants to send it off of her hand until he realizes that she loves it.
They then move in, sadly, to tell their mates about the loss of one of them.
