Chapter 43 - 43 The Children

Casimir watched Will carry Brielle and the child quickly. 'Something else is happening here besides her memories being blocked from the prince.' He looked at the children, "Hi, do you all remember me? I was one of the good guys that helped save you. If you all would come out and follow me to the plane?" He got up and walked out and led the children to the plane.

The children oohed and ahhed at the plane. One stopped and touched the tarmac. "It is so black!" They followed and slowly started to climb onto the plane.

Casimir watched them go up the stairs and did a headcount. When only counting nineteen, he went back to the bus, looked inside and found a boy sitting there. He waved in front of him.

The boy started signing really fast, and Casimir understood what he was saying. He sighed back, "please follow me. You will take a plane with the two individuals." Nodding, the boy jumped up and held Casimir's hand.

Will came out of the plane, met the boy at the bottom of the steps and quickly started to converse with him. "Yes, Sorry I forgot to sign to you. Please forgive me. I will take you to my work first, then we will find your parents. Okay."

"Yes, please. Although I do not think that my parent are alive anymore. I was living at an orphanage before I was kidnapped." The boy replied.

"Now I understand why you were moving your hands while you told the story. It was all so this one could listen too." Casimir looked at the bags that were unloaded and wine. "You all have a safe flight… can you update me on how Brielle is doing. She is a great person and has given me a lot to think about."

"Thank you, and I will let you know how she is doing. Go and be with your mate." Will winked, and the two got on the plane.

In a hunter dungeon within the house's basement, Ketan came to behind bars, and he glared at the three hunters in front of him. "Do you think your little cage will keep me contained? Ketan bounced on the bars then felt his body jerked back; he growled at them before he spat through the bars.

"I like this one. You did well on picking this one out. He is feisty, and with him being locked up for the next six months, he will become ravenous. After we finish what we need to do, we will transfer to the new location. Just remember that we will have to leave some bagged blood in the new dungeon. Also, I think everything will be set in a week or two. Enjoy your confinement." The hunter turned and left with his minions.

Ketan freaked out and tried breaking the chains. His wrists started bleeding, thus causing him to stop. He licked the wounds and watched the cuts heal slower than before. "You fucking hunters. I will show who you are messing with!!" Feeling a sharp pain in his head, he looked to the corner of the room. "Little Hunter."

Brielle was asleep the whole flight and didn't awaken even when Leo lifted her into his arms. "What kind of trouble did you get yourself into, Bree?"

Jenna had been following Leo closely and saw the one girl looking at Brielle sadly. She went to the girl's side. "Hi, Sweetie. My name is Tina. Would you like to come with me and check on my friend after the Doctor looks at her?"

"Tina is a prewty name. Julia is my name, I think?" She looked confused and reached her arms up.

Jenna picked up the girl and cuddled her. "Nice to meet you, Julia. I will be taking care of you. It was a request of the male that took care of you."

Will was helping get all the children off the plane and nodded at Jenna. He turned to the one boy and started signing. "Come with me. We are going to take care of you."

"Thank you. I hope that I can find a father as friendly as you." The boy signed back while smiling.

~Baby, what would you say to adopting a boy that can't speak?~ Will messages Sam and then helps all the children on the bus.

Brielle opened her eyes, looked up at Leo and closed her eyes again. Leo saw the short awaken and sat down with her in his arms. "Bree, you did a fantastic job."

Will gets everyone seated, checks his phone and frowns when there is no reply. He let out a sigh and read the sign language from the boy. Quickly, he replied, "Everything is okay. My partner didn't reply to my message. She might be a little mad at me."

The driver got on after helping load the bags underneath. "Wilson, conduire site. Elle a besoin d'aide. Please." Leo speaks in French as to not frighten the children, asking him to drive fast, and she needs help.

"Yes, Sir." Wilson quickly navigates the city and drives into the underground area when they reach the association. "We have arrived."

Leo got up, carried Brielle to a medical bed and laid her down before turning to the bus. "Will, you and Tina will take the children to Asurlon. I need to take Brielle to the Doctor." He leaves the area, pushing Brielle to the elevator. He hits the button to the fifth floor and impatiently waits. Hearing the ding, he pushed her into examination room seven and hit the call button.

The Doctor rushed into the room. "Good god, what the fuck happened to her?" She quickly pushed Leo out of the way and started checking Brielle's vitals. She quickly drew some blood, started an IV, then placed a blanket over Brielle.

"If I knew, I would tell you. From what I heard, Brielle and Will were chatting, then she grabbed her head and fainted. When you figure out what is wrong, call me." Leo got up, left the room and closed the door behind him.

A few hours later, Brielle looked up at the Doctor weakly. "Wher- no wait…."

"Hunter Brielle! Oh, am I ever glad that you are conscious. Leo has been breathing down my neck for a while now. Do you happen to remember what set off the pain in your head?" The Doctor shined a light on Brielle's eyes. Seeing her iris not change, she wrote that down on the chart she was holding.

"Headquarters? I thought I was at the hotel still?" Brielle looked around then closed her eyes. She could no longer remember what caused her headache, nor about anything that had to do with Ketan. "I don't remember. I think I was thinking about someone? Maybe it was something? My mind is a little fucked up. Oh! Goodness! Was the girl I was holding got hurt?"

Leo came into the room and looked at Brielle, "How is she?"

"Dazed but on the road to recovery." The Doctor replied. "I will leave you two to chat about what you need to." She left the room and closed the door as she left.

"There is no point in mincing my words with you, so I will tell you this straight. You met some supernatural that fucked with your memories. When you tried to find out more about that person, the memories became more sealed. I could tell that when I carried you from the plane. There was a small girl that was worried about you, and she is with Jenna at the moment. What happened this weekend before you forget more?" Leo started at Brielle from the chair he was sitting on.

"I did my task, but I feel like there was someone that I was flirting with? No fighting with. As for who or what the person is, I no longer remember, but there is a mild imprint in my soul that says, vampire. I wrote a full report before I was told to forget. I know I submitted those reports to you." Brielle scrunches her face and looks at Leo.

Leo nodded his head. "I got the reports. It was a vampire. You even scanned a note that I will show you in a month. You need to recover. No more missions for a month. You are on house arrest except for seeing the teenagers to school."

"Fuck. I don't think I will be able to get into my apartment at this point in time. I will stay here for a day or two, then head back to my place, but I think it would be best if someone brings me home." Brielle nodded her head then looked at Leo. "How are the children doing?"

Sighing, Leo pushes his hair back, "I started calling the right agencies that you found, and then children will be picked up over the next few days. The little girl is stuck to Jenna. Would you like to see her?" seeing Brielle smile, he leaves the room. A few minutes later, Leo comes back with Jenna and the girl.
