Astrid POV
It's midnight when we decide to travel of course we had to sneak through school security. Our plan was to go to a safe house Cohen's safe house to be accurate to distribute weapons. Cohen provided cars in total there were five and apparently more of Cohen's guards are already at the safe house.
I glance at a sleeping Arista who is snoring loudly beside me in the car. One of Cohen's men were driving while he sat in the passenger seat, it would take about five hours to get there.
My legs were aching as I did a little stretch in my seat. I caught Cohen's eye in the rearview mirror sending me a small smile. I gulp deeply before smiling back...why is my heart beating so fast...
I glance out the car window gazing at dark trees going by. I pull my sweater closer to my body feeling a little cold as a gentle breeze comes through. "You should sleep Astrid... we should be there soon" Cohen reassures me.
I nod my head resting my head back against the car seat. I close my eyes letting the soft sounds of the car pull me to sleep...

"QUICK WE NEED TO LOSE THEM" I hear Cohen screaming. I jerked awake due to all the noise "what's going on" I asked my voice sounding very sluggish.
"Astrid keep your head down now"! Cohen demands I turn in my seat to see a bunch of unrecognizable cars behind shooting at us. Arista pulls me down beside her.
"Bitch are you trying to get yourself killed" she whisper yells. The car starts to vibrate due to the intense amount of gun shots. I see Cohen with a gun in his hand shooting back.
"What about my brothers... they were supposed to be behind us"!! I try to lean back up a little to see if I can catch a glimpse of them.
"Keep your head down... your brothers are fine they can defend themselves"! Cohen screams back, so I just lay back down in a rather uncomfortable position.
The guard driving the car speeds up sending us flying down the road. It gets worse as he loses control of the car and we start to twist all over the road.
"Do you even know how to fucking drive"!! Arista screams hitting the back of the guards head. I would laugh but seeing as we are in a very dangerous situation now was not the time.
And then suddenly we were flying... it all happened so fast. One minute we were flat on the ground and the next we were being blasted to the sky. We covered our heads as best as we could glass shards floating everywhere.
My head slammed against the window sending me into darkness.

When I awoke my body was wrapped up in chains. I was placed on a cold floor in some sort of cage. I looked to my right to see other cages with Cohen and Arista being in there own cage.
My brothers were nowhere to be found. I tried to squirm my way put of the chains but they just kept scratching against my skin. Cohen and Arista were still passed out... I bet they used silver on Arista since she is a werewolf thats her weakness.
I begin to notice how quiet it is when I realize my hearing aids were no longer on my ears! I could feel footsteps stomping against the floor, my anxiety going crazy.
Suddenly my father appears outside the door of my cage. Two of his men were on each of his side. He walks closer to my small form and suddenly I feel vulnerable.
He roughly yanks a fistful of my hair and I let out a yelp of pain. "Well well well it would appear someone is finally awake" he spat angrily not letting go of the tight hold he has on me.
"You are a fool if you think you stand a chance against me, I have no choice now but to kill you and your stupid little friends. All you had to do was listen to me but all you have done is disappointed me!
I feel his hot breath on my face I try to catch every word he says watching his lips. "You won't get away with this father.... I'll make sure of it" I spit right in face. He immediately drops his hold on my hair and I scoot backwards.
"You little bitch"! He sends a harsh kick to my body. I try to shield myself as best as I can from his harsh attacks. In the years that I have known this man he has never put his hands on me before.
"We will leave her until I have finished business she and her stupid friends will not receive any water or food" he says to his guards. With one last glare and a conniving smirk he leaves me in a ball of a mess.
Why has my life got to this point.... this is all my fault...
I should have just followed my fathers orders, maybe then we wouldn't be in this life or death predicament...
I lay my body on the cold dirty ground trying to gather warmth. I'm just glad my mother is safe and as for my brothers
I hope they get here soon...
