@freedomwriter76 fine by me!!
Benji
Benji gave a proud smile to Cummings before turning back to Raymond, feeling a bit more relaxed now.
He knew he probably shouldn’t have acted out like that, but…he just couldn’t help it!
The man had said his name was silly! That was rude! He had to do something, didn’t he?
“You need to learn to keep your mouth shut, you know that kid?” Cummings snarled.
Benji glanced at him, suddenly feeling uneasy under the man’s dark stare. He inched closer to Raymond.
“Cummings, come on. He’s just a child.”
“And children should show respect.”
Benji went quiet, feeling not so safe anymore.
Maybe it hadn’t been such a good idea to go with these two men…

Lila
“Wolves huh? Well…ya know, my parents friends are actually-“
“Hey Kiri…I think someone’s coming.” Lila whispered. Kiri raised a brow as the foursome stopped, Kiri still holding onto Asher’s arm.
Soon, four figures rounded the corner, one familiar.
Lila’s purple-ish blue eyes brightened. “Aaron!” She cried, but upon seeing the strangers, went still.
Aaron looked so…
Despondent….
“A-Aaron…who are these people?” She whispered.
Aaron’s eyes brightened at the sight of her, smiling, though it didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Lila! Kiri!” He ran to them, embracing them both, which ended up pulling Asher along since Kiri still held his arm.
“Good to see ya cuz! But…what’s with those three?”
Aaron looked back. “Ah…these are friends…” He said softly.
Lila looked at them. The young woman waved, smiling bright. She reminded her of Auntie Lyn.
Aaron glanced at the two boys with Lila and Kiri, raising a brow at Asher, whom Kiri still had her arm wrapped around.
They all introduced themselves.
“Nice to meet you all.” Lila said. She looked at her cousin, frowning.
She could tell something was wrong…
“Aaron…what’s wrong…?” She asked, gently taking his hand in hers. “I can see in your eyes…somethings off. What’s happened?”
Aaron’s breaths hitched. He looked away. “I…I lost…” He squeezed his eyes shut, fists clenching. “Bren was taken.”
Lila and Kiri’s eyes widened.
“Taken?!” Kiri cried, nearly pushing Asher over as she released him. He cried out, bumping into Matt (poor Asher XD) “What do you mean?!”
“Someone took him…” One of the young men behind Aaron said. “He…he was looking for the two of you,” he pointed to Asher and Matt.

The two finally exited the dark room, entering a room that had no windows, but only the single door they’d come from.
Bren opened his eyes, blinking in the new light from the sconces hanging above. He let out a small gasp as the man, Vance, laid a rough hand on his shoulder, guiding him to the back wall.
“Sit.” He said. Bren obeyed, sitting with his knees pulled up to his chin. The man glared at him, walking back across the room to shut the door.
Bren’s heart thumped as the door thudded closed, trapping him inside.
If he could somehow get past the man, he could escape…
But…then he’d have to get through that seemingly endless hallway…
That dark hallway…
He looked up at Vance, who was walking back towards him. The boy’s eyes widened. He backed further into the wall, turning his face away.
“Leave me alone!” He cried. He narrowed his eyes at the man. “My brother is gonna find me! And you’ll be in a lot of trouble when he does!”

Raymond
Benji lapsed into silence.
Raymond turned on Cummings with a glare. “He’s a little boy and he’s a guest, Cummings. I thought you were a gentleman. I thought you had manners. If you don’t want Benji to be here, then maybe you’re the one that needs to leave.”
He smiled at Benji. “Come along, Benji…let’s continue on without Cummings if he’s going to be a grouch.”
Cummings muttered something else beneath his breath and sighed. “Fine, Raymond…I’ll be quiet.” He snarled.
Raymond nodded. Smirked. “Good. Come along, Benji.”
@freedomwriter76
Lucien
“Heh, well that’s understandable,” Caden grinned. “I was born with two built in best friends,” he laughed. Lucien knuckled his little brother’s head. Caden pushed him away.
“Yea, our parents had no idea what they were getting into when they had triplets.”
“But they still chose to have another kid…” Caden shook his head.
“You have another brother?” Steve asked.
“Oh yea, name’s Benji. He’s a couple years older then this little guy,” Lucien pointed at Ryo. “He’s a stinker.”
Caden stared at his brother, incredulous. “What? He’s sweet!”
“We talking about the same kid?”
“Aww come on, he has his moments.”
Lucien shrugged. “I suppose.”

#ProtectSeb@freedomwriter76 good for Raymond! I have a feeling things won’t go well if Raymond gets separated from the group or anything tho 😅
Benji
Benji gave a small smile to Raymond, thankful for his help. He peered back at Cummings, then quickly looked away at the sight of the man’s glare.
He looked up, whispering. “Why does he carry that rope thing?” (The whip)

@godlyfantasy12. Yeah…probably not. 😬😅
Raymond
“Why does he carry that rope thing?”
Raymond paused, still holding Benji’s hand.
It was odd that Cummings carried a whip. What was it necessary for?
Yes, Raymond had used one before…but only when he had to…only when he was ordered to.
And much more often, he’d felt the sting of one on his own bare back.
Raymond fought back a flinch and grimace, and smiled softly at Benji, hoping he’d soon be able to distract the little boy’s attention. “Not entirely sure, Benji…maybe for protection. But he is an odd one, so maybe he’s just a little…not right in the head.”
Steve
Steve smiled at the brothers’ banter.
It did remind him of himself and Bucky…then again, a lot of people asked if they were brothers.
Footsteps sounded, and Steve tensed, hands instantly reaching for his shield.
He clutched it tight in his hands, just as a small figure came around the corner, wearing clothes much like the ones Steve saw in history books about the American Revolution.
When he saw the group, and more specifically, Steve who stood ready, his dark brown eyes widened. He held up his hands. “Wait…I mean no one any harm. I’m not sure how I got here…or how to get home…I promise, I won’t harm anyone. My name is Nehemiah…Nehemiah Bullows.”
@freedomwriter76 XD Raymond! 😂
Benji
Benji snickered at Raymond’s words, making the man smile. He gave him a wink.
Cummings glowered at them from behind. “What are you two going on about?”
“Nothing!” They both said simultaneously, making them laugh again.
Benji relaxed a bit, squeezing Raymond’s hand tighter. He reminded him a bit of his brothers Caden and Fen.
He tilted his head, wondering if they were alright. They’d left a while back on an adventure…but they wouldn’t let him go along.
Said he was too little…
Humph.
He was always too little.
He huffed, releasing Raymond’s hand.
(Hey…I wonder what the two will do if he transforms XD. I think I’m gonna have him do that.)
He looked around the room, pursing his lips into a pout.
Didn’t his brothers realize he could take care of himself? After all, he was a wolf! Just like they were!
With sharp fangs! And claws!
He gave a small growl. Raymond raised a brow at him.
(he’s so cute and hilarious XD XD)
He looked up, tilting his head.
Maybe…
Sometimes his wolf form got him into trouble…
Doda said he had to be careful when transforming in front of some people…
Some didn’t like wolves…
Though he didn’t know why! Wolves were amazing!
But…he knew from experience that not everyone liked them…
But Raymond seemed nice! Surely he liked wolves! It would be okay to transform here!
Well…Cummings seemed kinda mean. But he could take him.
He was a wolf, after all.
“Watch this!” Benji cried, running in front of Raymond for a moment. The man tilted his head, giving a half smile.
“Alright.”
Benji squeezed his eyes shut, focusing, as it was a bit unruly still when he transformed. Sometimes he couldn’t even control it!
But soon, in the blink of an eye, no longer was he a little boy, but a black little wolf pup.

Asher
“Wolves huh? Well…ya know, my parents friends are actually-” she was interrupted by Lila. I was curious as to what Kiri was going to say.
“Hey Kiri…I think someone’s coming.” Lila whispered. Kiri raised a brow as we stopped, Kiri still holding onto my arm.
Soon, four figures rounded the corner.
My eyes scanned the group for anyone that I knew…unfortunately, none of my friends or siblings were there.
Lila’s purple-ish blue eyes brightened. “Aaron!” She cried, but then went still.
“A-Aaron…who are these people?” She whispered, talking about the other three. The group looked worn and tired, and sad…so sad. My brow furrowed in concern, and even though I didn’t know them, and though I was not nearly as skilled at reading emotions as Matthew, I could almost feel their sorrow, and I ached inside for them.
Aaron’s eyes brightened at the sight of Lila, smiling, though it didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Lila! Kiri!” He ran to them. Kiri squealed and embracing them both, which pulled me along since Kiri still held my arm tightly.
“Good to see ya cuz! But…what’s with those three?”
Aaron looked back. “Ah…these are friends…” He said softly.
I gazed once more at the group. The young woman waved, smiling bright. I wasn’t real sure who she was waving at, but nevertheless, I smiled and waved. Aaron glanced at me and Matthew, a strange look in his eyes. He raised a brow at me, whom Kiri still had her arm wrapped around.
I hiked an eyebrow as well. “Uh…hi. I’m Asher, this is my best friend, Matthew.” Matthew waved, smiling a bit. “Nice to meet you!”
“Oh…hi. I’m Aaron…nice to meet you as well.” He still had a peculiar expression as he looked at me.
What is wrong?
“Nice to meet you all.” Lila said. She looked at her cousin, frowning.
“Aaron…what’s wrong…?” She asked, gently taking his hand in hers. “I can see in your eyes…somethings off. What’s happened?”
Aaron’s breaths hitched. He looked away. “I…I lost…” He squeezed his eyes shut, fists clenching. “Bren was taken.”
Lila and Kiri’s eyes widened.
“Taken?!” Kiri cried, nearly pushing me over as she released me. I cried out, bumping into Matt, who almost fell over as well. “What do you mean?!”
“Someone took him…” One of the young men behind Aaron said. “He…he was looking for the two of you,” he pointed to me and Matt.
My heart froze. My eyes widened, and my mouth slightly hung open.
No…no, no, no…
I squeezed my eyes shut against the flood of memories; horrible memories, memories that I had tried to forget. I could feel everyone’s eyes on me, but I didn’t care…couldn’t care. Couldn’t do anything but stand there, numb, and try to block out the awful memories.
“Asher…Asher!” I whimpered softly as someone’s hand rested on my shoulder, shaking me.
I jerked violently, my eyes shot open. I gasped.
“Asher, Asher it’s me!” Matthew’s voice broke through my panic. “Calm down! Calm down. It’s alright. No one’s going to hurt you.”
I breathed out slowly, nodding. My heart still raced as I looked around. The people around me gaped in shock and concern.
“Heh…sorry…um…” I looked at Aaron. “Y-you said that h-he…he took your brother?” He nodded.
I took a deep breath. “I-I’m so sorry. How old is he?”
Aaron looked pained. “He’s…ten.”
I winced, and said again, “I’m s-so sorry. Then…then the man said what he w-wanted?”
He nodded again.
I knew what I must do. I slowly turned to Matthew. “Listen Matt…Vance doesn’t want you as much as he does me…I want you to stay here. I’ll be okay.”
His eyes widened, and he started to say something, but I cut him off. “No. It’s okay, Matt. Maybe Dylan will find me…if not…” I paused. “I’ll be okay.”
I brought my attention back to Aaron and held out my arms in surrender. My eyes were pleading. I took a deep breath, and said softly, “Okay…y-you can take me to him…Vance will give you your brother…in return for…for me…just, please, leave Matthew alone. Vance wants me more than he does Matt.”

@lightoverdarkness6 AWWW ASHER 😭 @freedomwriter76 hey light u wanna RP as Vance btw?
Aaron
Aaron’s eyes widened, mouth opening in shock.
“You…I…” He stopped, clenching his fists.
It would be easier that way…but…
Whoever this man was…he was dangerous. And there was no way he was going to help him get what he wanted.
He’d find Bren some other way.
Somehow.
Aaron placed a hand on the other boy’s shoulder, making him flinch. He offered a small smile, shaking his head.
“We’re not taking you anywhere. I refuse to help him, and if he thinks he can force me…” Aaron clenched his other fist. “He’s wrong. But…we need your help. Anything you can do, maybe, to help me find my brother. Please…” He pleaded with his eyes, hoping that somehow these boys would be able to help.
Lila smiled, as did Kiri, who also placed a hand on Asher’s other shoulder. The boy looked shock, brows high to the ceiling.
“My cousin would never put anyone in danger willingly,” Kiri said. “Too much of a goody goody.”
Aaron couldn’t help but smile mirthfully at that, though his heart still felt bare without Bren nearby.
Was his baby brother alright at that moment?
Was he afraid? Or hurt?
Had he somehow gotten away?
“Aaron…” Lila stepped up to her cousin, wrapping her arms around him. “We’re going to find Bren. I know it…”

Bren opened his eyes, blinking in the new light from the sconces hanging above. He let out a small gasp as I laid a rough hand on his shoulder, guiding him to the back wall.

“Leave me alone!” He cried. He narrowed his eyes at me. “My brother is gonna find me! And you’ll be in a lot of trouble when he does!”
I chuckled darkly. “Oh? Well…Bren…if you think that your brother can do anything to get me in trouble…well, I’m afraid you are sadly mistaken.”
I took a step closer to him. “You see…those boys…well, they belong to me. And nothing, nothing, will keep me from getting them back.” I leaned forward, close to him. He flinched.
“And your brother will have to bring me those boys if he ever wants to see you again.”
#HugRikerSquad
Bren
Bren squeezed his eyes shut, trying to calm the crazy beating of his heart, but it was too hard.
What would this man do if his brother didn’t bring those two boys?
He knew his brother wouldn’t put anyone in danger…
And if this man wanted those two boys, it couldn’t be for anything good.
But…but Aaron would save him…
He…he’d find a way.
Vance chuckled, reaching out a hand and ruffling Bren’s hair. Bren froze.
He opened one eye, whispering, “Why do you want them…?”
