Running back through the trees, I knew something was wrong. I could feel it in the pit of my stomach. I didn't care about running through the trees in the middle of the night, I only cared about getting back to Crescent Moon.

All the thoughts of what could have happened ran through my mind. Everything that could have gone wrong. I knew it would have to involve Namjoon though, I couldn't explain how I knew. Sealing the bond meant that we have a deeper connection, and that means that I could feel that he was in trouble.

Taehyung.

He went to follow Taehyung for me whilst I came here. If Taehyung is still with him, I don't know what will happen. I don't even know where they are.

What if others had been hurt while I was gone?

What if history had repeated itself and a surprise attack had fallen upon Crescent Moon while I was gone? I could heal people, but I didn't know how much I could until I lost all energy. I couldn't bring people back from the dead, atleast that's what Elizabeth had said.

I continued running, I had an idea of where I was, but that doesn't mean I was going the right way. Although, I feel like my head is too all over the place to take too much notice.

I could hear Elizabeth shouting after me, as I sprinted off. I had forgotten that she couldn't run at the speed I could. But I needed to get back to see what had happened, and hopefully to find that nothing had happened, only my imagination.

Taehyung seemed angry when he left. He can't have been angry enough to hurt Namjoon could he? I knew he had been acting strange around him, but to hurt him would be a new level. Something he would never do, would he?

The thoughts of Tae doing something bad scared me, he was slightly unpredictable. But that was too much.

I ran into an open space, showing me the buildings of Crescent Moon. Everything was still and quiet in the night. Nothing looked obvious of anything happening, but then again who says nothing is happening inside.

I instantly ran into the main building, heading towards the library. I could only hear the people waking up and walking around. I was starting to think I had gone slightly insane, but I knew I had to get answers. Even if it was just was that I was becoming overly paranoid for no apparent reason.

Once I opened the library, I saw
J-hope and Yoongi stood talking to eachother and smiling. I would normally find it cute, but right now I needed to find out exactly what was wrong.

"Yoongi" I called out to him, I felt like I was on the verge of tears. Everything seemed fine around here, but I knew that nothing was fine. Atleast in my mind it wasn't.

"Alexa, what's wrong?" he asked, instantly moving over towards me. He threw his arms around me to comfort me, pulling me into him.

"Somethings wrong, I just know it. Where's Namjoon?" I asked as I was still held in his arms, water flowing out of my eyes.

"Isn't he still with Taehyung? What do you mean somethings wrong?" Yoongi asked, pushing me away from him, so he could look at me clearly.

"Somethings wrong, I don't know what, but I know it is atleast has something to do with Namjoon. I just felt a really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach" I said, realising how stupid it sounded, considering I had no real evidence for my reasoning.

He looked at me and let out a heavy breath. He looked over to J-hope who was quietly watching.

"How about we split up and look for him around the perimeter? He's probably with Taehyung still, depending whether Taehyung is still annoyed or not" he asked reassuringly, his hands were still holding onto my arms as he looked at me.

"Go and get your phone, then if we find them, I can call you. Okay?" he told me. I nodded and smiled slightly at him.

After running around the campus numerous times, convincing myself that I'd just missed them. I finally stopped. I had no phone calls or messages from Yoongi or J-hope to tell me they'd found them or had any leads to them.

I dropped to the floor and laid, looking up into the sky. I felt as though I'd lost hope, it frustrated me that I didn't know where they were. It frustrated me more to know that they weren't safe, even if I didn't exactly know what they weren't safe from.

I could feel tears flowing out of my eyes slowly, as I continued to lay on the cold grass. Looking up into the stars, I questioned. Why did I have to fall for the one person I shouldn't have? Why did I have to be the lost princess? Why did danger have to follow me and the ones I loved all of the time.

"Why?" I asked up into the sky. The moon was beaming down, brightly, like it was teasing me. If it wasn't for the moon, known of this would be happening. If it wasn't for the moon I wouldn't exist.

"Alexa?" I heard someone ask from beside me. I turned my head and looked over to see Jin stood beside me, looking down at me.

"Laying down on the floor, looking up into the sky won't help" he said as he sat down on the floor next to me. I huffed loudly and sat back up myself, so that I could see him better.

"No one can find them, I told your mum about what's happening, she's contacted Jace" he said and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. I had forgotten about the werewolves agreeing to help us if we needed it.

"I'd like to think that they've gone somewhere together and are just being stupid, but I know they aren't. Tae wouldn't just leave like that, he's too innocent" I said to Jin honestly, and laid my head on his shoulder. My head felt heavy.

"I know, we'll find them" he tried to reassure me.

"We have no idea where they are or who's got them. Although, if anyone has got them, it'll be Quarter Moon" I said to him, I looked out to the forestry in front of me.

"If Quarter Moon has them, we'll do whatever we can to get them back. I'll personally go there and fight if I have to" Jin said and moved so I could see him better, he looked deadly serious. It was understandable though, he's grown up with Taehyung and always been like an older brother.

"You don't know what they are like there. The pain they inflict on people, just because they can and because they suddenly have power over someone. They will destroy the both of them" I said, I could feel the tears forming yet again. I kept thinking back to my time at Quarter Moon. They didn't even know who I really was at the time, but they still took joy out of seeing me suffer and the others there.

"Jin, if they hurt me the way they did just because I could have been the princess. They are going to do so much more to them, because they can use them to get to me." I said to him, straight. He looked at me, I could see the sadness in his eyes as I spoke.

I heard someone running towards us. It was Jimin. He didn't look happy, like he was going to tell us good news. But instead the complete opposite.

"Quarter Moon have sent something" Jimin said and just looked at us. It took us a second to to acknowledge what he meant before we both stood up and instantly started running.

I ran towards the main building, towards George's office. Everyone was inside of it, mum was crying lightly by George's wife, Leane. I instantly walked over to her and embraced her.

"What's happened?" I asked worryingly as I held my weeping mother in my arms. She never normally cried, this was unbelievably rare. But that only meant that what they had sent was bad, really bad.

"You might what to see this" George said as he moved out of the way of the computer screen, revealing a email.

'Crescent Moon,

You have what we want, and we have what you want. If you want them back, it's simple.

Tomorrow, at 3am we will meet you at the midpoint between Quarter Moon and Crescent Moon. We'll bring Namjoon and Taehyung with us, and you bring Alexa.

If you don't, we will kill Namjoon and Taehyung with the most painful and slowest death we can, making sure they are the last to die. Making sure they can watch the rest of you dying until we get our hands on Alexa.

I'm sure you don't want that, so it's best you turn up.

With love,
Quarter Moon'

Instead of feeling sad, and weak. I only felt rage, and a lot of it at that.

"Alexa, there is something else" J-hope said and looked at me, I furrowed my eyebrows together in confusion as I looked at him. There can't be anything worse than the situation already.

"What is it?" I asked wearily. J-hope moved over to the computer, moving the mouse over to the attachment underneath. I hadn't noticed it, but now I knew it was there, I had a feeling I knew what it was.

I didn't want to see it.

A picture came up onto the screen. It was horrible. My hand instantly came up to my mouth as I looked at it. I moved closer to the screen and looked at the image.

It showed Namjoon and Taehyung, with their arms hung up way above their heads. There was blood around both their mouths where they had been hit, bruises forming around their jaws.

They weren't awake. They must have been unconscious. Or worse.

'This is just the start. You better turn up, or you can forget about their pretty faces'

The words with the picture struck me a lot more than than I thought it would. My breathing became fast and heavy as I looked. I felt my mums arms wrap around me and pull me into a tight hug.

"We have to go tomorrow and I need to hand myself over" I said assertively as I pulled away from the hug.

I didn't even have to think about it, I knew what I had to do, even if it meant that it wouldn't end well for me.

"You are not handing yourself over" Yoongi suddenly interrupted, he looked mad at me.

"Yes I am, if I don't they are going to kill them!" I replied sternly.

"I am not letting you just give yourself up like that!" my mother shouted, she wiped away her tears and looked at me fiercely.

"You are my daughter, you don't get to do that! You don't get to do that to me" she stated.

"Taehyung is your son, your real son! I can't let him get hurt, or Namjoon. If I have to do hand myself over then I will" I replied, trying to speak softly. Well as softly as I could.

It was at times like these that I wished she didn't look at me as her daughter, but as someone she was just looking after. I knew that I was seen as her daughter, but she needed to move past that.

"You are still my daughter, I raised you! I promised your mother I would keep you safe no matter what, that I would try and keep you away from danger." she said calmly, it broke my heart to watch her like this. She gently caressed my cheek as she looked at me, her eyes filled with tears.

"You can't. If you give yourself over, you will die and they will have control. That means everyone will be under the control of Quarter Moon" George interrupted, I looked at him, he was right. But I couldn't let Taehyung and Namjoon die.

"No one's going to die, it won't get to that" Jimin said, trying to reassure me.

"I'm going to the doctor" I said and began to leave.

"What?" Jin asked after me.

"I don't know what is going to happen tomorrow, but I know I need to sleep to prepare myself. I won't be able to sleep unless I get medication" I said and left to find the doctor.

Once I had the medication, I went back to my room and looked at of the window, up into the sky.

"Mum, Dad, if you're up there, please help me. I dont think I'm strong enough to face tomorrow. I may make everyone else think that I am, but deep down I'm scared. Scared of giving myself up, only to be killed and letting them take over. Scared of seeing a loved one die, tearing me apart inside. I don't know what will happen, but whatever does, I need your strength. I need you to be by myself when I face it." I admitted, looking up into the stars, trying to figure out where my parents were.

I moved away from the window, picking up the jumper Namjoon always wore and brought it into the bed with me. As I curled up in the bed, I brought the jumper close to me, hugging it as I closed my eyes.

I love you.
