''Dinner is here your royal highnesses!!!'' a voice calls from the living area as I groan. ''God damn it! We need to start locking the front door.''

''No point in doing that, he will just break it and enter,'' Theo mumbles sleepily. ''Come on get up.''

I groggily walk to the bathroom and wash my face. I look down at the wound in my thigh which Theo had carefully bandaged. Once we've both freshened up we walk down to meet Charles who is lounging on one of the couches.

''About time you two got here; I've laid out the dinner so we can chat while eating. You both have a lot to tell me.''

We all walk to the kitchen and my mouth waters at the sight. Chinese, Ohh yes!!

The three of us sit at the counter digging in to the chili garlic chicken, noodles and egg rolls. ''This is so good,'' I say with my mouthful.

''Where are your manners Athena; you shouldn't talk with your mouth full,'' Charles scolds.

''Okay, MOM.'' I roll my eyes at him.

''So, tell me everything that happened,'' and we start to re call it all to him.

''Your sister is her exes mate!! This is gold man!! I wish i was there!'' Charles yells excitedly.

''Also the fact that we are in danger because the witches have the rogues under their control but who cares about that anyway; right Charles?'' I glare at him.

''Oh umm yeah, that's bad. Very bad. What will we do about it?''

''We have to be on high alert, the patrols have to increase the radius when doing perimeter checks. We ourselves need to start going on checks too,'' Theo says.

''I agree; we need to be vigilant and inform the other packs too.''

''And what about Caleb?'' Charles asks, ''He is currently in the cells and we're going tomorrow to question him,'' Theo answers.

**Cough **cough ...'' Torture him,'' I say with a glint of evil in my eyes.

''Woahh there, slow down; you've been hanging out with Sebastian a lot. Are you sure he didn't cast a spell on you or something because you surely do sound like him,'' Charles retorts.

''Nahh nothing like that. Caleb has had it coming for a long time.''

We finish up our dinner and clean up as Charles leaves.

Well love since we had a good nap this afternoon what do you wish to do tonight?'' Theo asks as he rubs circles on my back.

''How about a movie? You got something in mind?'' I suggest.

''How about a marvel movie marathon? Though I have a feeling you will say no,'' he says skeptically.

''Are you kidding me! I love love love the MCU and Captain America is my absolute favorite. I mean those eyes, that jawline, oooohhhhh,'' I day dream and he clears his throat, ''You know I'm right here love.''

''oh yeah...hey there,'' I joke and he rolls his eyes. ''come on, let's start from Iron Man.''

''He is your favorite isn't he?'' I ask him. ''he is right? Right?'' and he nods. ''I knew it!!''

I run up to our room and grab a soft blanket and rush back to the couch. Theo makes space for me and I cuddle up to him as the movie starts.

''Wake up sleepy heads, it's torture day!!!'' Charles shouts as he walks in. ''What the hell,'' I grumble and get up. Oh looks like we slept on the couch last night.

''Charles you idiot, don't you have some manners? How can you just walk in here like that?''

''I don't even want to know what you two were doing on that couch the whole night; just go get changed and make sure you put on your best torture friendly clothes.''

''You're sick,'' I hiss at him and walk up to our bedroom. ''Do you mind if I wake him up?'' Charles asks.

''Please, be my guest.''

I come out of the shower and hear shouts from downstairs, guess Theo's awake. I quickly wear my black jeans, paired with a black t-shirt and lastly put on my black bomber jacket and boots. I look in the mirror and nod in approval; Torture friendly indeed.

I walk down the stairs as a sleepy Theo walks past me rubbing his eyes. He does not even acknowledge my presence.

''Woahhh there, didn't know the Charlie's angels were being assembled,'' Charles whistles.

''You asked for torture friendly didn't you? And I delivered.''

Pretty soon Theo comes down dressed in a similar manner except he's worn a white t-shirt and white washed jeans pairing it with a black jacket.

''Well aren't you dressed to kill love.''

''That's precisely the aim,'' I retort back.

''Okay let's get one thing clear, we are not killing Caleb, right?'' Charles questions.

''Not yet,'' Theo and I are say in unison.

''You two are made for each other,'' Charles responds and we all walk out the door.

''Are you okay love?''

''Yeah, I'm good. Why ask?''

''You've suddenly gone quite, ever since we left the house.'' Theo replies. ''Ohh...I was just thinking about Rachel.''

We reach the cells and are greeted by the guards who lead us to Caleb's cell which is a replica of an interrogation room with a wide two-way glass. Charles chooses to stay outside while Theo and I walk in.

''Morning sunshine, sleep well?'' I mock him and kick his feet apart.

''You bitch!'' he snarls, ''eeeehhhhh wrong answer,'' I make a beeping sound and pull a stake from my jean pocket and stab his left thigh.

A loud scream escapes him, ''what the hell is wrong with you!!!!''

''Ohh I'm perfectly fine, too bad I can't say the same for you.'' A guard walks in a while later rolling in a cart of tools and weapons as he parks it behind us.

Theo eyes this and gives me a questionable look, ''Someone had to come prepared,'' I reply with a shrug of my shoulders.

''Let me talk to him love,'' Theo says and takes the lead.

''Keep her away from me,'' Caleb tells him, his voice filled with fear. ''Can't make any promises man.''

''Why did you team up with them Caleb?'' Theo asks and Caleb takes in a deep breath.

''I did it for revenge, Athena humiliated me in front of the pack twice and I couldn't stand it.''

''Aww...I bruised your ego didn't I?'' I fake pout and then glare at him, ''Serves you right.''

''Look Caleb I know that you're not the mastermind behind all this; so why don't you do us a favor and tell us who it is,'' Theo continues.

''I'm never telling,'' Caleb hisses and I fight the urge to punch him. ''Where did you find the witches?''

''I didn't; they were brought to me,'' he replies.

''By who?'' Theo asks and for a moment I feel like he is going to divulge some information but he just smirks, ''clever move, but I'm still not telling.''

''Oh come on Theo; he won't talk like this. We can torture it out of him,'' I cry out. '' What makes you so sure that I will talk then?''

''Oh please Caleb, cut the crap; we all know you're a wuss.'' He grits his teeth at my comment and I wink at him.

Theo sighs and speaks up again, '' Look Caleb, you are already a traitor to our pack and that makes you a traitor to the other three packs too. Just know that you're not walking out of here.''

''Wh...what...what do you mean?'' Caleb stutters as the reality of the situation sets in.

''It means you're a dead man Caleb. Believe me, It'll be a treat watching you die,'' I answer and his eyes widen in fear.

''Oh don't worry; I won't be the one to kill you but you know what else would be fun; making your father watch you die,'' I snarl trying to rattle him.

''No..no..no...you can't do that.''

''Try me, '' I reply as I put on some gloves and fill a syringe with liquid wolfs bane.

''What.... what is that?'' he says visible shaking. ''Theo, stop her please; she is crazy, that'll kill me. Stop her Theo!!''

''No can do Caleb. I tried asking you nicely to avoid all this but you decided to act tough; So now I leave it to Athena to get the answers out of you.''

''What kind of male are you? Letting a woman take charge like that. I have seen how you treat her; that's not how a woman should be treated. You give her the right to do everything she wants and that has made her think too much of herself. A woman like her deserves to be kept indoors and under your control. Look at what you've done by giving her so much freedom,'' before I could even react Theo grabs him by the neck.

''If that is what you think of women then you're a pathetic excuse of man. Athena is person just like any of us; she and every other woman out there deserve the same respect that we get. It is men like you that need to be locked indoors for having such kind of thoughts. The next time you even say something like that about Athena or any other woman, I will skin you alive.''

''If there is a next time,'' I remark as Theo moves out of the way and I come face to face with Caleb.

''Now why don't you be a darling and open those eyes wide, '' I say in a sinister voice and his eyes widen in fear by instinct.

''Good boy,'' I say and empty the contents of the syringe into his eyes. ''Ahhhhhhhhhh, my eyes....my eyes...Athena you spawn of the devil!! Go to hell!!'' he screams.

''Oh I've been there thank you; I found it quite lovely, you should visit sometimes. Oh wait; you are going there soon,'' I chide and he groans in pain. I splash water on his face and see him blink as his vision starts to clear.

''Okay love I think that's enough,'' Theo says and tries to pull me back.

''Actually I was just getting started,'' I reply and pick up a torture device that looked like a pair of scissors only twice as sharp.

''Hmm...I wonder what this is used for, ''I muse and start snapping the 'scissors'.

''Athena...please no...no...please...'' he begs.

''Give me what I want and I will stop Caleb, the choice is yours.''

He ponders over my words for a while and then nods, ''Okay; I will tell you whatever you need to know.''

''He's all yours,'' I gesture Theo to take over and walk out of the room to stand next to Charles who is smiling ear to ear.

''Damn Athena, you went all Rebekah on him in there,'' he says and I roll my eyes, ''I prefer Klaus, but whatever.''

''Who is the mastermind Caleb?'' Theo asks again.

''I can't give you the name, I'm bound not to reveal it but I can tell you this. Blue eyes, he has icy blue eyes and he is out for your blood Theo and he wants Athena too. That's as far as I can go to give you information on him.''

''Okay, and where do we find the witches, Selene and Celeste is it?'' and Caleb nods before he replies, ''they always come to the clearing because that's where they get their powers from, it's like they recharge.''

Charles' eyes widen, ''oh my god Athena; The witches channel their powers from their dead coven members. I had read in one of the books in our office. When a witch dies their power is stored in the place they breathed their last and any witch from that particular coven can channel it.''

''oh shit, that doesn't sound good. A whole coven was wiped out there; meaning a hell load of witches to channel from,'' I comment as my eyes widen in realization.

''Do you know of any way we can kill the witches?'' Theo asks and Caleb shakes his head. ''Damn it!''

I walk in and Caleb stiffens. ''Chill, I'm not here to torture you again, I have a question and I need you to answer truthfully understood?'' and he nods in agreement.

''How did you mask your scent; how does the blue eyed stalker mask his scent?''

''The witches...they made us these talismans that absorb our scents, that's why you couldn't catch mine at the crash site and also when that captured rogue was killed that night.''

''So the guard was not hallucinating. He indeed saw the blue eyes,'' I say and face Charles through the mirror a look of victory on my face. Although I can't see him I know he is shaking his head in mirth at my behavior.

''Well that's all we needed to ask you Caleb. You've served your purpose here,'' Theo announces and we both walk out.

''Theo please...please...Athena please, don't kill me please, I will change; please don't kill me,'' he begs.

''You are a traitor to the whole werewolf community Caleb; your punishment is death,'' Theo declares and two guards walk in. Theo nods at them and they walk behind Caleb. We go to stand outside with Charles and watch as one guard holds his head and then twists it; successfully snapping his neck and I watch as his head rolls to one side.

''You okay love?'' Theo asks.

''Yeah, I feel as though we delivered justice to Rachel,'' I sigh and lean on him as he wraps an arm around my waist and kisses my forehead.

''Is that why you were hell bent on torturing him?'' Charles questions from my right.

''Yeah, I just wanted him to feel the pain we all went through when she died.''
