@freedomwriter76 imma do a Puck POV FINALLY XD
Puck
Puck jumped off of the box he was sitting on, strands of his hair falling in front of his eyes as he did so. (I’m thinking his hair falls a bit below his ears kinda like the one pic I posted of the kid eating chips XD, also considering his hair color is a white, pink and purple ombre)
“It’s about time,” he said, arms still folded. Lucien pursed his lips, giving him a look.
To be honest he was still a bit cross at their sharing that he was an artist.
It wasn’t exactly something he went around blasting to the four corners of Aú. It was just…a hobby. That was all.
Nothing more.
Honestly, people needed to mind their own business.
Then again…he was the worst at doing just that…considering one of his favorite past times was eavesdropping on other people.
Ah…knowing the secrets of others. Another favorite pastime.
“Are we gonna get moving or not?”
“Impatient much? What, you got a hot date?”
Puck scowled. “I just want to find my sister.”
“Huh, the little Fae does have feelings.” Lucien snorted.
Puck growled, fists clenched at his sides. “We have no idea where they are, you-”
“Puck!” Caden interrupted, nodding his head at Ryo. Puck huffed.
“Maybe you’re not concerned about why or how we’ve been brought to this random castle, or why we were separated, but I am, so obviously I’m worried.”
“I think she’d have more reason to be worried about you then the other way around.” Lucien said, placing a hand on the boy’s head. Puck pulled at his large arm, trying, to no avail, to remove the teen’s hand from his head.
Lucien leaned down, a smirk on his face. “You just miss her. Admit it.”
Puck puffed out his cheeks, turning red. “I do not! She’s annoying, and always getting in the way and-”
“And you miss her, plain and simple.” Lucien stood, folding his arms and closing his eyes, as though the argument was over and he had won. He opened one eye, smiling. “In fact, it’s probably the whole reason you snuck along this adventure in the first place, isn’t it?”
Puck growled, eyes blazing. Caden frowned, face flushing as he stepped between the two.
“Alright…how about we just get going…alright?” Caden looked up at Steve. “Um, would you like to lead the way, Sir?”

#ProtectSeb@freedomwriter76 sounds good to me, Ryo and Benji will get to meet XD but I have a feeling Benji will be jealous of Ryo XD XD XD!!!
Also, Cumming and Raymond will probably use Benji against his brothers to get Nehemiah right?

@godlyfantasy12. I love Puck too. 😂🥰❤️ So much like Nyx…yet so much unlike his parents…😂😂😂
And Puck and Lucien together is A M A Z I N G !!!! 😂😂😂😂
And lol, Benji probably will be jealous of Ryo! Uh oh…😆
And yeah…they will…😬😬😬
Steve
“Um, would you like to lead the way, Sir?”
Steve smiled. Nodded. “Sure. And you can just call me Steve. We don’t have to be formal.”
Caden nodded, so they began moving on, Steve leading the way, Bucky right behind him, still holding Ryo, and everyone else falling in behind.
Steve led them down different hallways and corridors, searching for anyone else.
But the castle seemed…empty.
“Is anyone else even here…?” Nehemiah asked quietly, brows furrowing together in question.
Steve turned around, to answer, to reassure him that there probably were other people in the castle, and good people, but footsteps sounded, and Steve turned back around, instantly pulling out his shield.
Someone was walking…and they were coming close.
“Everyone. Get behind me.”
@freedomwriter76 I’m gonna do a Benji pov!
Benji
Benji gripped Raymond’s hand, having gone silent the last few steps. Ever since he’d transformed, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy now. Like his stomach was full of bugs, crawling around and making him queasy.
He frowned, wishing his Asti was here, or Doda, or his brothers.
Yea…his brothers would know what to do. They were smart, and big, and brave.
They’d know exactly what to do…if only they hadn’t left…
He missed them…
Raymond suddenly stopped, pulling Benji to a halt. The boy looked up with wide eyes, tilting his head like a pup.
“Cummings, you hear that?”
The other man nodded, placing a hand on his weapon. “I do. Sounds like a group of people.”
Raymond gripped Benji’s hand tighter.
A big too tight…
Benji frowned, looking ahead down the dark hallway, wondering who it could be.
Asti maybe?
He hoped so…
He listened carefully, hoping some of his shifter senses might could pick up some of the sounds.
A few shadows emerged, and then figures followed. One, a tall man wearing clothing that was a bit odd…but kinda colorful. He had blonde hair like Caden, and a large shield held in front of him.
Benji gasped, watching as another figure emerged, looking as equally big and strong as this one.
He held a little boy in his arms though, only a few years younger then Benji himself and…
Was that metal on his arm?!
Maybe…maybe he was like his brother Fen!
“Who is it, Steve?” A voice asked.
Benji’s eyes went wide at the voice.
It couldn’t be…could it?!
He stood on his tiptoes, straining to see past the large figures and the shadows. But, indeed, in the back, he could just make out the blonde hair and familiar form of…his brother.
He beamed, eyes sparkling.
“CADEN!” He squealed.
The group in front of them stopped, all in various stages of confusion. Shuffling.
And then, two figures fought their way to the front, their faces white as the moon, eyes bulging.
“B-Benji?! What…”
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!” Lucien cried.
Caden’s jaw was still hanging open, in shock. “H-how…what….?”
“I’m so happy to see you! I was sleeping with Asti, and then I woke up, and I was here! Isn’t that neat?” Benji said, smiling so wide his cheeks hurt.
He tugged against Raymond, feet moving to run for his brothers, but…
Raymond didn’t let go.
Benji looked up at the redhead. “Raymond, it’s okay…it’s my brothers!” He said, tugging harder. But Raymond, only tightened his grip. He looked down at the little boy, a small smile on his face.
Benji frowned, pulling into himself. “Raymond..?”
“Sorry Benji, I’m afraid I can’t let you go just yet.” He said, just as Cummings came up, gripping the little boy by the shoulders.
“Benji!” Caden cried. Lucien’s fists clenched. One hand reached for the bow behind his back.
“You better let him go right now if you know what’s good for you!”

@godlyfantasy12. Uh oh…😬😬😬
Nehemiah
Raymond…Cummings.
His heart pounded in his head, drowning out the voices around him.
No…no…no!
He couldn’t go back to being in the Navy…he couldn’t go back to being a slave.
He was free…he was free…Morrison…Nathan…Dawson…they said his past didn’t have power over him anymore…
…so why did he already feel chained again?
Cummings smiled slowly; his smile sadistic. The whip on his side moved every time he moved even an inch. Nehemiah strained to listen. “We’ll give you your brother back…as soon as you give us Nehemiah. We have…unfinished business with that runaway, deserter, and rebel.”
@freedomwriter76 AWW POOR NEHEMIAH 😭
Lucien
Lucien growled, rage swelling inside of him. His hand waved behind his back, above his bow. He swiftly drew it, already notching an arrow.
Caden stood at the ready, fists clenched, prepared to fight. His eyes narrowed, scanning the two men that held their baby brother.
“Let the child go. He has no business with you two,” Steve said sternly, eyes burning with an inner heat that Lucien had seen in his father many times. A courage and bravery that only a few possessed.
“Not until we get what we desire.” Cummings said.
“We really don’t want to harm anyone,” Raymond said, still gripping Benji’s wrist. His grip lessened slightly. “We just want the deserter.”
Lucien looked over at Nehemiah. His face was deathly pale, eyes glazed over, as if haunted.
He wasn’t watching the men before him, or the scene playing out, but the whip that hung from the darker man’s side.
Lucien’s heart dropped, stomach squeezing with nausea.
If they have Nehemiah to these men, they’d have a hay day with him…
But what would they do if they didn’t…
He looked at Steve for help, eyes pleading. Steve’s brows furrowed, understanding his plea.
“And if we don’t give him to you?”

@godlyfantasy12. IKR!?!?!?!? 😭😭😭💕💕💕 THE BABYYYYYY!!!!!!
Uh oh…I’m sorry, Benji, the sweetheart, for them threatening you like this…😭😭😭
Steve
“And if we don’t give him to you?” Lucien asked.
The man holding onto Benji glanced at the other, eyes searching…questioning.
The other man, the more cruel-looking one, the one with the whip, nodded. “Well…it’s simple…” He grabbed Benji and lifted him into his arms, holding the small child almost in a headlock, as the other one held a sword, “he’ll get hurt.”
“Let the child go.” Steve ordered, his grip on his shield tightening, so much so that his knuckles turned white.
The man holding onto Benji held him tighter, and the other man brought the sword closer to Benji, causing the child to whimper and cry out. The man with the whip, still holding onto Benji, smirked. “Make your choice.”
@freedomwriter76 ooh boy…
Caden
Caden’s heart leapt into his throat as the sword neared his baby brother’s skin. “No!” He screamed. He looked at Lucien with wild eyes, hoping his older brother had some sort of idea.
But…he looked just as lost on what to do.
Caden racked his brain, trying to think of what to do. If they gave these men Nehemiah…
They’d be going against everything they and their family stood for. Justice. Honor. Courage.
But if Benji got hurt…
Caden would never be able to live with himself.
Ever.
(So out of all the brothers, and they ALL love Benji to death, but Caden is the closest to him)
He gasped softly, and idea sparking in his mind. It was a long shot…but…it was a chance.
He looked up, into the eyes of his frightened little brother. Softly, he spoke.
“Hey Benny.”
Benji blinked at the heartfelt nickname, the one he shared only with his brothers. He sniffled, staring at Caden with big blue eyes.
“Remember that game we always played in the yard back home? The one you always complained about?”
Benji’s face contorted into confusion, but then his brows raised, eyes widening In realization.
“Cade…?” Lucien whispered. Cade looked at him, exchanging a look.
“We’re gonna play, alright?” Cade gave as much of a smile as he could muster, hoping it made his little brother feel a bit more at ease.
“Enough talking!” The darker man, the one holding Benji cried. “Give is what we want. Now.”
Caden narrowed his eyes, fists clenching. He glanced at Lucien once more and then.
He whistled.
In an instant all three boys were gone, replaced with their wolf forms, including Benji.
The man’s eyes widened, realizing he now held a wolf pup by the scruff of his fur, and had a hand very close to his mouth.
Benji took this moment to bite down on the man’s hand, making him cry out and release him.
“You little mutt!” The man yelled, reaching to grab the pup, but Benji was too quick.
The redhead, however, did grab him, by the tail, making Benji yelp.
Lucien and Caden growled, their young, lean wolf forms leaping simultaneously towards the redhead and dark-haired man and taking them down.
Benji scurried away, rushing to the other group.
Once on the ground, Steve came up behind, the two wolves, shield in hand.
“Your outnumbered. I suggest you leave. Unless you’d prefer my friends here to take a bite out of you.”

@godlyfantasy12. Ahhh…I loved that. 😅❤️😂
Steve
“Your outnumbered. I suggest you leave. Unless you’d prefer my friends here to take a bite out of you.”
The dark-haired man scoffed. “Do you think we’d just-”
Lucien growled, teeth bared, face inching closer to the dark-haired man.
“Okay! Okay! Fine…we’ll go,” the redhead rolled his eyes, “but we’ll be back…I promise.”
The dark-haired man looked at Nehemiah. “You won’t escape forever, Nehemiah…”
“Go. And don’t you ever come back.” Steve snarled, shield in hand. And, turning to Caden and Lucien, he ordered softly, “Get off…they’re leaving.”
Out of the corner of his eye he saw Bucky crouch down next to Benji, just as Benji turned back into a little boy, quietly crying. Bucky gently wrapped an arm around him, pulling him close, setting Ryo down on the floor.
Ryo ran over and grabbed Steve’s leg just as the two attackers stood, Caden and Lucien off of them. He spat his tongue out at them. “Meanies! GO away!”
The dark-haired man muttered something beneath his breath and stalked away, the redhead right behind him, but they both gave Nehemiah a last look before disappearing around the corner.
Steve bent down and lifted Ryo into his arms, putting his shield back on his back. “They’re gone, Lucien, Caden…you can turn back now. And Nehemiah…you’re safe.”
(I think Caden and Lucien scared them away this time…normally they wouldn’t back down so easily. 😅😂)
@freedomwriter76 WELLL when you’ve got two wolves on top of you about to rip you two shreds cuz you just threatened their brother uhhhhh yea I’d be scared XD XD XD
Lucien
Lucien watched as the two men stalked down the hall, disappearing into the shadows. A low growl escaped his throat.
Caden nuzzled his maw against his brother’s neck, making him look over. Their eyes met. Lucien nodded and the two transformed back, turning to Steve. Lucien ran a hand through his dark brown hair, sighing.
“Ah…you’re probably wondering about that…”
Steve smiled. “I’ve seen stranger. Trust me.”
Caden chuckled. He looked behind Steve, eyes filled with relief. “Benny…” The little boy ran into his open arms, nearly knocking him over with the speed. Benji snuggled into his neck, crying softly. “Hey, it’s alright now…you’re safe…I promise.”
“Benji. Bud…you gotta be more careful,” Lucien said, shaking his head as he ran his hand through the little boy’s soft curls. The child nodded.
“I-I’m sorry.” He sobbed.
“It’s alright, nothing to apologize about. You were alone…you didn’t know.” Caden said. “We’re just glad you’re safe.”
Benji lifted his head, scrubbing at his eyes with his sleeve. He sniffed, nodding his head.
“I missed you guys!”
Caden smiled and Lucien laughed, giving his baby brother a kiss on the cheek.
“We missed you two. But…that brings us back to the question of how in Aú you got here.”
“It’s the castle,” Bucky said. Everyone turned to him. “It does what it wants.”
Lucien frowned. “Well…that’s good to know.”
“Does that mean when we leave, Benji will be back with Asti and Doda?”
“This is real confusing,” Lucien rubbed his temples.
“Where’s Fen?” Benji asked, looking around.
“We’re looking for him, and the others.” Caden said.
“Well, we were, anyway,” Puck said, coming up from the shadows.
Benji’s eyes widened as he smiled. “Puck! Hi!” He clambered off of his brother, running up to the boy. “I learned a lot of new tricks with my slingshot while you were gone! I bet I’m better then you now!”
Puck quirked his lips. “Yea? Doubt that.”
Benji pouted. “I did learn new tricks!” He stomped one foot. Puck rolled his eyes.
“Sure.”
“That’s enough,” Lucien said, lifting Benji upside down off the floor. The boy screeched then giggled, hanging upside down from his brother’s arms. He looked over.
“So who are you guys?” He asked Steve.

@godlyfantasy12. Hey, I’d be scared too. 😂😂😂
Steve
“So who are you guys?”
Steve smiled at the little boy, who was hanging upside down from Lucien’s arms. “Well, I’m Steve, this is my best friend Bucky, and this is Ryo.” He motioned to Ryo, who still stayed in Steve’s arms.
Ryo gave a wave and bright smile. “Hello!” he cried, then reached for Steve, “Stevie! Up, up!”
Steve smiled faintly, lifting Ryo up higher and putting him on his shoulders.
Ryo squealed.
Steve turned his attention back to Benji, still holding onto Ryo’s small legs, making sure he didn’t fall off. “We’ve been with your brothers for a little while now. Don’t worry about us. We’re friends. And that’s Nehemiah. He just joined us….but I wouldn’t worry about him either.”
(would Benji ask about Bucky’s arm??? I wasn’t sure, since he has a brother that has a missing limb. 😅)
@freedomwriter oh he totally is going to 😂
Benji
“Hiya!” Benji waved at the upside down people before his brother quickly turned him right side up. He squealed and then giggled.
He tilted his head, staring at the brown-haired one called Bucky. He pointed at his arm, “Why do you have a metal arm? Is it armor, like a knight?! Are you a knight?”
Caden’s face paled. “Ah, Benji…”
“That’s so cool! My brother has a wooden leg,” he giggled, now hanging off of Lucien’s forearm.
