Waiting is a fruitless endeavor.

Hours has passed since we rescued Miracle and my brothers. Sitting by her bedside hoping with everything in me that she will awaken soon. My heart continuously keeps breaking into fragments, every-time I think of what she went through.

You have to be one sick individual to do something like that to anyone. I know Talon is feeling immensely guilty; deep down I know it's not his fault, though I want to blame him. I want someone to blame. Someone to scream at. Someone to punch. Someone to feel what I feel. The hollowness is creeping in with despair in its wake. I wish I knew how to fix this for her. To take all her pain away. But I'm fucking clueless and apparently useless.

The drugs they found in her bloodstream was aquestyn. A newly marketed product that's stronger than a roofie. Apparently it helps block your memory albeit not all of it. Sends you on a killer high that clouds your brain and zones you out completely. We don't know how will it will effect her in the long run. It's made for mostly supernatural beings but hasn't been around long. That in itself is scaring us shitless. Along with how her mental stability will be. Now the counsel is after her. Wanting to take the very thing that would probably save her in the long run. I don't feel it will be me or my brothers. She needs something that will distract her from her memories of the assault. I just truly wish they would back off, it makes no sense to me how they can show such callousness in what that define as spoilt. What does that shit mean anyway?

"I talk to mom about getting her to see a counselor. I think she's going to need it." Brack is beside himself. He keeps trying to come up with solutions trying to make it a quick fix. That's not going happen though. His usual happy go lucky self left the building as soon as he discovered they they were missing. I already miss him trying to cheer us all up.

"Yea, maybe." Talon is barely speaking. The guilt is eating him up. Barons more angry than most. He's harder to control than the rest of us. Malik has secluded himself in a corner. His eyes never straying away from Miracle. Trigon goes in and out his misery is on high one minute and anger on high the next. Me, myself, I've just been unusually quiet. I can't get this thoughts out of my head. I can only imagine what Trigon and Talon must be going through since they had to witness most of it. I couldn't and do not ever want to be in their shoes.

"I just-" before Brack could finish we hear Miracle start to groan. She's moving her head to the side. Her face is scrunched up, probably from the pain. Relief floods all through me.

"Miracle?" Trigon is by her side, I didn't even see him up get up. Worry is all over his face.

Miracle moans, tossing her head, her eyes begin to flutter. She slowly opens them, I have never been more thankful to see those bright blue eyes than I am now.

She stares straight at me, her questioning gaze full of concern.

"Lu-Lucias, where am I?" She croaks out her. Trigon rushes to get her a glass of water. He places the straw in her mouth, she slowly drinks it in. Leaning back down upon her pillow.

"Thank you," she glances around the room her eyes landing on each of us and her surroundings. "Where am I? What happened?"

"What do you remember?" It's a touchy situation; I don't want to influence her in anyway.

She scrunches her brows while thinking. "The last thing I remember was...Trigons and Talon running to me...no wait...I was fighting with someone, they had a cloth on my face. Then everything went dark." She keeps trying to remember. Her face is full of concentration.

"We we're in a room...no it was cell..I was chained up, yes I was chained up by my wrist," Miracle glances at the bandages on her wrist, she rubs one, pulls her hand back then turns her eyes to me "that's all I can remember. What happened?" Honestly at this time; I think I want to get down on my knees and thank whoever I can for having her memories blocked of the cruel assault that she had to go through. I don't want to tell her of her violation. Sighing, I grab her hand, squeezing it gently, debating on how much I should tell her. Looking at my brothers they have come to stand around her bed even Malik got out of his corner.

"We rescued you and brought you home." Is the only words I can attempt at this time. My heart is crushing even further.

"Who," Miracle clears her throat she tries sitting up, Malik rushes to her. Placing another pillow behind her head. She leans into it sighing. "Who took us?" Confirming that she doesn't remember what Farrow did to her. The only problem with that now is she may suppressed memories that will come back to her eventually and damage her even further. Now the counsel is trying to dethrone her she will eventually find out all the sordid details. So now we're probably all thinking the same thing. She would tell her?

"It was Farrow and Barons ex Cathy. They're were two others involved. Draco was one. We don't know the other. But we will find them rest assure my beloved, they will all pay for what that have done." Malik finally speaks but damn when he does he drops an entire bomb!

"Why?" Her voice strains out in confusion, that one word has us all literally baffled. The only reasoning on Cathy's part is jealousy but on Farrows it's revenge. We have no clue about Draco unless he was after her power; as in the fourth and mysterious partner we have not a fucking clue!

"Jealousy mainly and revenge." Brack grits the answers before he thinks. Now she is beside herself in an agitated state looking directly at Talon. Then her beautiful eyes slide over in Barons gaze, they both look at her with remorseful faces. Their eyes both shining with chagrin.

"Why me? Why Trigon? We had nothing to do with any of this!" Her anger is palatable showing along her features. I squeeze her hand I'm holding, hoping to calm her just a little.

"Trigon was caught in the crossfire. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time." Baron quips, bypassing why she was placed in the role of the victim.

"I'm sorry Trigon." Outrageously I fume inside she has nothing to apologize for!

"Do not apologize, none of this is your doing in the slightest!" Malik refutes her apology while rubbing his hand down her face. She looks up at him and beams a smile that we have longed to see for awhile.

Knowing this will have to come out sooner than later. I tell her we have to talk about something that's very serious. Baron sits at the end of her bed his hand latched on her to leg. Trigon goes to the other side and does the same. Malik stays at her head while Brack moves closer to her bed, standing beside Malik. Talon stays behind Baron not moving. We're all preparing for the inevitable.

I tell her what Farrow did to her leaving out gory details. How we all felt and then fainted the moment that it happened. Why he did what he did and all that he said to Talon.

She's crying hysterically, bowing her head, we all come closer to comfort her. This is pure gut wrenching. It's tearing us apart. The hurt is undefinable. I want to take her misery away, wrap her in my arms and never let her go. Not allowing anything else to ever hurt her again.

Crying for the longest time we let her get it out and don't say a word as she processes everything we told her. Her cries end up with her hiccuping and then falling back into a slumber.

The entire time this was all going on, I noticed Talon never got closer to her. Their relationship may beyond repair if he doesn't take action soon.

"You need to stop holding back when it comes to her. You can't set on the side lines and act like nothings happened. She needs you just as much she needs us." I try explaining it to him while trying to keep a calm facade. But my other brothers are seething.

"She will never forgive me." It's like he's given up all hope. He isn't even wanting to try and that pisses me off more than I could ever describe. Trying my best to reign my frustrations at him in, I take in a breath, then three!

"Standing back doing nothing will only push her away more. Confront this head on and stop being a damn pussy!" Talon looks at me with anger flashing his eyes, well good at least that's something. But instead of the confrontation I was expecting he just walks out the fucking door!

"He will never learn. Maybe he should be with Marcus. They deserve each other, fucking asshole!" In a way I feel the same way that Brack feels but I keep holding on to hope. That one day soon he will wise up and face what is happening and then maybe he will eventually grow the fuck up!

"Who's staying with her tonight?" I try to change the subject knowing it would do no good to even talk about it at this point it's all in Talons ball-field.

"I will, I'm not leaving her." Nodding at my head at Trigon, I have no doubt that he wouldn't be leaving her side for awhile.

"I'm staying too." And of course Baron is having a hard time leaving her side also. I really don't want to leave her either but there's someone I need to talk to.

"I'm off then, mind-link me if you need me or something comes up. I'll be back later." Malik says he's staying also that I understand their connection is stronger than most of ours. I think he really needs to be here.

"Same" I guess me and Talons are the only ones who won't be beside her tonight. I just nod my head, kiss her goodbye on her cheek as I exit her room on a mission.

•••••

"Either you tell me or I'm going to rip your fucking throat out!" I went straight to Cathy's cell after leaving Miracles side. Anger is resonating inside me, I can't seem to control it. My demon side wants to come out and play and trust me when I say he's an evil son-of-a-bitch!

"You won't touch me, Baron won't allow it!" Her snide ass comments are driving me mad. Who the hell does she think she is?

"You want to know where Baron is?" I lean into her, close to her ear, while she's bound into a chair. "He's at Miracles side. He won't leave her. That's how much he loves her. You pitiful swine! He doesn't care anything about you. But you know who does?" Standing upright I change into my demon form. Just like my grandfather Mammon I'm an ugly beast. "Me!"

Cathy draws back in-terror.

"Who? Bitch?" My voice comes out deep and gravely enough to solicit pure evil. Cathy urinates in her chair, shaking uncontrollably.

"Pri-pri-Priscilla" she stammers out her fear of my is laughable. Bending down to her, I get in her face, disgusted by the foul odor. Priscilla I should've fucking guessed it!

"Bye you fucking bitch!" Swiping my claws through her neck, her head rolls off onto the floor. Blood splashing all across me. I spare her no mercy or a second thought as I turn to Farrows cell.

He's cowering in the corner on bended knee, whimpering out like a little pussy. How I want to end his existence at this very moment but I quell the urge, knowing that it's should be Talons who does it instead of me.

"You're next! You'll pay dearly!" He starts to cry and begins to beg. If I was Talon I'd beat his lousy ass to death. Maybe cut off his dick and stick it in his ass.

Now that would be entertaining!
