"You mean Amber?"<br/><br/>Elise replied to Micky, although she knew exactly who he was talking about. She sadly shrugged.<br/><br/>"Your guess is as good as mine. She disappeared with her dagger and hasn't been seen since."<br/><br/>Not that a Dark One would stay gone forever. Rumpelstiltskin was probably training her somewhere. Elise shuddered to think what kind of innocent beings were being hurt and killed for that. She watched him leave to talk to the other kids, she didn't believe for a moment that Micky didn't care about Amber. She turned back to Elizabeth.<br/><br/>Elise thought a moment at her question and replied.<br/><br/>"Honestly, he's a lone wolf, which isn't good. Someday you'll step down and he will become your pack's alpha. If he keeps this up..."<br/><br/>Elise sighed and then continued.<br/><br/>"All the peace relations you worked so hard to gain and keep will end. He needs to start talking to other people, and taming his wild side. Someday you won't be here to protect him from people he pisses off."<br/><br/>----------------<br/><br/>Skye had been right, Julia thought. Ashley was excited to meet her. It was exciting for Julia was well, she hadn't been around another dragon-kin in so long.<br/><br/>"It's nice to meet you, Ashley. I've been searching for other dragon-kins for a long time."<br/><br/>Julia wanted to get to know Ashley better to, but she looked around and saw the races gathering.<br/><br/>"Maybe after your big meeting, we could talk."<br/><br/>Julia suggested.<br/><br/>------------------<br/><br/>Easton was not going to go to the big meeting. Nor would he was he going to send Gareth or Yasmine, both had been seen before by WolfWater people, just like he had. But until he knew who was the Dark One, he would have to play a little nice. He ordered a few of his low ranking members of his coven to go to the meeting. He needed keep up appearances and he also hoped they reported what was going on there. He was sure the leaders would be talking about him.<br/><br/>That just was left with just Easton, Gareth, and Yasmine. Dawn was tied to a tree. The witch was a stubborn one. No mattered how many times he hit her, she refused to tell him who the Dark One was. He knew she knew, the witches had been guarding the dagger since Rumpelstiltskin was killed by the current one.<br/><br/>"Give me the name!"<br/><br/>Easton yelled at her. Dawn was beaten and exhausted. Her face was bruised and blood was running down her lip. Still, she refused to give Easton Amber's name. The new vampire leader wanted to know who the Dark One was and Dawn would die before she gave him that information. Not only was withholding it keeping her alive, but she also wasn't about to put Elise's niece in danger, Dark One or not.<br/><br/>"Go to...hell..."<br/><br/>Dawn muttered at him and Easton hit her in the gut. It was going to be a long night.
