"Sara its so cold." Vanessa was trembling, tears formed in her eyes due of the coldness.

Sara turned her head to the little wolf:" Hey, if we wont find them soon we'll turn back were we came from ok?" Vanessa nooded silently and came near the black bunnys fluffy arms to find warmth.

Suddenly a heavy body threw Sara out of B.N.s arms and was holding her pinned against wall. Sara yelled out of pain, she was gasping for air, she felt something went trough her flesh. As she slowely tried opened her eyes she saw black before her eyes. Nothing. She felt dizziness pumping trough her whole body.

But the mobian who was causing the pain didnt left her any time to understand the situation and lifted her up by her collar, with her feet bouncing in the air. The air was coming in short grasps.

She heard Vanessa shriek, "If you'll stop moving, I would consider to leave you alive little Lily." threatens a voice afterwards, calm but sinister. But she knew who it was.

Sara opened her eyes again, this time wide panicked and tried seeing what was happening.

Out of sudden the black cat let the black bunny go and faced Lethal:" I-I cant let it happen around me anymore," murmured he furious "LET HER GO!" yelled he afterwards determined.

M threw Sara against the wall, with her screaming in pain and fell down, still conscious but nunb out of pain. He was ready to jump at Astray:" ASTRAY?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" he growled deep and menacing,bit rattert nervous and confused. His tail weeped around the ground. But lethal putted his hand up, as sign for him to be silent. The dingo let Vanessas shoulders go but with one hand pushed her on her knees, she whimpered in pain and afraid,  knowing Lethal was capable of anything.

"Oh I know what is happening here," The dingos smile was cracking into a mocking one" you fell in love kitty cat." he took Vanessas face in his hands, turning her in Astrays direction emotionless "Weak ones fall in love, Astray." showing Astray that he could do nothing about it.

But still with no concern Astray growled:" No! Love-" Lethal interrupted smiling wide and sadistic:" Dont dare come to me with 'LOVES MAKE ME STRONGER' or 'LOVE IS UNPAYABLE', its getting old, scumbag." Lethals face went serious again:" But tell me kitty," Astray would run right now to Vanessas side but Lethal was circling around the little wolf "After I took you in, saved you from the streets of this gruesom world. Where everyone is for themselves. How do you, dare," He turned to Astray, he was just a few steps away from him, but still was dangerous "AND THAN YOU TALK TO ME BACK LIKE THAT?!" his eyes lighten up a intense purple.
He made a gesture with his hand and so, lifted Astrays body in the air, and hitted it around walls and rocks with his will. 

B.N. dragged Vanessa from under Lethal without M or neither Lethal noticing, he whispered causous:" Vanessa we have to find the others! We need them-" But he noticed Vanessa wasnt putting attention in his words. She starred at Lethal with a hatred he never have seen in her, while she snarled and fletched her teeth. Blacknight imediatelly whispered a warning, knowing what she was up to:" Vanessa Dont-" 

If youre hurting my Astray and my Sister, you'll feel my rage asshole-

But it was too late for B.N.s warning, she ran to the dingo and jumped on him, and so he let Astray fall in Blacknights arms.
She felt very uncomfortable being near him but she didnt cared:" THIS IS FOR CALLING ME, Y O U R   L I L Y !" she scratched how and where she could. "AND THIS IS FOR HURTING ASTRAY!"Lethal yelled when Vanessa bit him in the shoulder, she felt blood rolling down her arms, but little did she care. She felt a strange taste in her mouth and coughed a black material liquid out.

She felt black material going up her arms and feet, and only now she have seen that it burnt trough her sleeves and jeans and was about to burn her flesh, while causing immensly pain, but she didnt let go.
Abruptly in second she felt a pain in her back, and in the next second she she was teared off Lethals back.

Blacknight ran and caught Vanessa and both fell down on the ground, with Blacknight holding Vanessa tight.

M was the one that scratched her down of Lethal. And when Vanessa got it all clear she immediatelly wanted to attack him ass well, not importand how dangerous he looked or actually was. But B.N. was this time holding her back. The fight between the weak Wolf and the irritated Cat was stopped before it could even happen, thanks to Lethals orders he just shouted.

Vanessa could barely understand the words by the high pitched sounds she heard since she was teared off Lethal. But she saw the happening. Seeing Lethal and M flee with Saras body in the next caverns god knows what they are planning.

Vanessas rage was unquenchable, she was afraid of herself, she never felt so furious before.

But Blacknight made her realize the situation, when he leaded her to Astrays unconscious body. She saw that Blacknight was speakingbut couldnt understand what he was saying, she heard nothing. She was still in shock and could barely hear anything. When he noticed it, he made some signs for her to stay here with Astray:" He needs you." murmured he under his breath. Vanessa nooded, this time with understandment and calm teared up eyes. Vanessa hugged B.N. for the last time tight, and Blacknight hugged her back. Than they let both go of each other.

And so he ran as fast as he could. Blacknight wanted to hurry, to safe Sara, his friend
His sister. Not important what would it bring upon him.

Isabelle groans, her back hurting like hell as well as her shoulder. Aura starring in one place emotionless, since Lethal went.

Isabelle tried since what felt like forever to free herself but didnt worked. She also tried to talk to Aura but she didnt responded. 

NOTHING IS WORKING! I TRIED EVERYTHING!!!

She tough desperately. She moved her head to the hedgehogs direction. He was there, looking with blank eyes determined forward, the bear took a deep breath in:" So, uh, Fin? Do you, like, hear me?"

"No talk between prisoners! It doesnt use at anything anyway, hes as good as deaf to your words." answered one of the Hyenas growling.

The bear asked curiously:" Were you ever, in his state?"

Brones face expression went blank and his face white:" I-"

Lefu turned annoyed to the two:" NO TALK NO TO PRISONERS!" and so she turned back to Dusky. Brone went a few steps away and looked away from the bear not wanting to be screamed at again.

Isabelle tried to get his attention again, but suddenly, something cought her attention. The silhouette was moving sliently towards Aura, she feared it may hurt the wolf:" HEY-" but she noticed it was too late she noticed it was Luisa, trying to free them. The hyenas turned to the bear:" What do you want?!" asked Dusky annoyed.

Isabelle looked around to find something to answer for:" UH- Y-your, uh hair! YES! Oh man, It looks really good! What do you use for it?"

Dusky rolled her eyes bashful:" Compliments wont get you out, blunt." and so she turned back to Lefu playing her part with the cards, murmuring something what made Lefu putting her hands frustrated on her face.

Isabelle groaned relieved, she looked in the direction Luisa meant to be but she was already by Auras side, and with her pocket knife she cut the ropes open.

Aura went in her emotionless state again, she made a few hand signs so she hadnt to speak, so the Hyenas couldnt hear them.

They silently moved towards the Hyenas, Aura already hit Fineas K.O. so he wouldnt be a problem for them, but not without getting a few sting of his coat. And so, they took all three silently out. 

Suddenly Luisa shouted:" Fineas is waking up!" Aura and Isa were ready to launch at him but as he woke up his eye colour went to their normal state again. Isabelle shrieked:" YOURE AWAKE!" and jumped on him hugging , with Fineas who was still shrieking not knowing what was happening. Aura took her of the scared hedgehog and explained to him the happenings.

Suddenly Auras face went blank, remembering something:" Wait, if Lethals powers arent on Fineas anymore, that means hes using them on someone else! WE HAVE TO HURRY! SARA, VANESSA AND BLACKNIGHT COULD BE IN GREAT DANGER!!"

"But what about them?" asked Luisa, pointing at the three Hyenas who were unconscious.

"I'll stay here, theyre all three roped so Ill keep an eye on them." anounced the Bear.

Aura nodded and told Luisa and Fineas to follow her. As they were on the way of going back she heard suddenly screams not so far away.

[Meanwhile happened]

"Let her Fall. Show your worth jerk." Lethals voice was deep and imperturbable.

Sara was hanging up of a cliff, with M still holding her on the collar of her pullover. Down was flowing Magma, explaining the constant heat among the tunnels.

Is this it?

Asked Sara herself, but without fear, too weak to resist. She looked in M s eyes, they were green and a mix of yellow in with. They seemed so familiar. Even if his expression showed rage, his eyes had the nature of  calm and were gentle. Suddenly Sara remembered a distant memory.

--

"Sara get that dirty thing out of my room! I'll punish you for letting it in my room!" shrieked Saras mother.

Sara imediatelly hurried so the mother wouldnt hurt her cat Milo:" Im sorry Mother, it wont happen again." Sara ran away with him in her arms, before she could say anything else.

She layed down on her bed holding her cat tight, with him purring by her warmth:" Its alright Milo, I will protect you. She cant hurt you as long as Im here!" claimed Sara while she looked in her tabbys cats eyes. They were warm like the sun and gentle as a still lake. Sara started sobbing, holding her cat in a hug tight, with him there she felt as alone as never. Nobody will get her out of this mess, or maybe she just had to hope like in her Fairytail books?

--

Sara didnt had anything to loose, so she asked unsure, barely could speak up the name:" M-Milo?" 

The cat widened his eyes, his expression changing completely. He tried looking serious:" W-Where do you know my name from?" was he threatening. He realised:" You-" his eyes filled with rage and bitterness " HOW COULD LEAVE ME BEHIND?!" his voice was echoing, Lethal let it happen what was happening "YOU SAID YOU WOULD PROTECT ME!" he than murmured " Now I remember what happened." His eyes were looking distant.

"After you left home, your parents never took care of me. I was starving. I tried getting their attention but than, your parents threw me out on the streets, not wanting me in their home again. Having no use for me. I wandered the streets for two days, looking for food, but I never hunted before. Then I saw you, running with your siblings and that stupid- wolf. I tried calling after you but you didnt heard me. I felt something among the night and I was very afraid so I ran after you. Hoping you will see me and maybe take me with you this time. Something else was running also after you. I tried staying away from it but it eventually  blocked my way to you. You fell eventually , and I tried rescuing you, but that scum of wolf already took you up in his arms. I ran after you with all my might and energy, that thing almost had me in his clutches so I jumped in that Portal you jumped in as well. I dont know how I did it. But from that moment on I lost my memories."

Sara was awed. This was really the cat she tought she had lost since she left the earth for the last time!

Sara noticed Milo wasnt holding her up as high anymore so she hugged him tight, she was so thrilled seeing him again:" Oh Milo, I wanted to take you with me. But I tought you were better off without me. I would have never tought my parents would be so cruel with a poor cat, Im so sorry. I will never let you go again."

The grey tom didnt knew what to say or do. But before he could decide or think anything he felt someone pushing him. He fell down the cliff, with Sara as well.
