"Crap," Indianna cursed when she looked at her phone.
"What?" Kimberly asked.
"It's Rogue," Indianna gulped, looking between Brooke and Kimberly with wide eyes.
"Don't answer it. Ignore it," Kimberly said.
"Are you mental? He's already going to be pissed! Don't make him anymore angry!" Brooke said.
Indianna took a deep breath and answered the phone. "Jason," she said and held the phone to her ear.
"Sister," Rogue said loudly. "I would say congratulations, for getting your pack member back safe and sound, if I wasn't so angry."
"A-about what happened-"
"I want you at my house," Rogue said simply. "Now."
"I- I'm busy-"
"Not anymore," Rogue said. "Chop chop, little sister, you wouldn't want to make me anymore angry, would you?"
The phone line cut off and Indianna stood up immediately.
"Where are you going?" Brooke asked.
"Home," Indianna gulped.
"You can't! You don't know what he'll do to you!"
"He won't hurt me," Indianna said. "Physically. If he was going to he already would have. I'll be fine."
"Don't be stupid. We're not letting you go alone!" Kimberly said.
"Yes, you are," Indianna said firmly. "He's already angry, I'm not making him any angrier. I don't want the pack to be at risk."
"Indie, at least tell Harry where you're going-"
"No," Indianna cut Brooke off. "Do not tell Harry, Brooke. Do not!"
"Two hours," Brooke compromised. "If I don't hear from you in two hours then I'm telling the whole pack. I've got the whole mind link figured out now since the Branding Ceremony. It'll only take me seconds to tell everyone. Everyone!"
"Two hours," Indianna agreed and rushed out of the room.

After Indianna had left Brooke and Kimberly sat awkwardly for a few moments before both leaving the room, going in different directions.
Brooke went to the kitchen and hunted through the cupboards for something to eat.
"Babe," Harry called when he found Brooke struggling to open a packet of chocolate with her arm in a cast. "What happened with Brandon?"
Brooke glared at the chocolate when she couldn't open it. "Damn food," she murmured.
"Brooklyn?" Harry said and took a step towards her.
"Aha!" Brooke grinned and successfully ate some chocolate from the now open packet.
"Brooklyn!" Harry snapped.
Brooke looked up at Harry and raised her eyebrows. "Yes?"
"What did Brandon want?"
"You know, I don't understand how chocolate can be so good, but be so bad for you," Brooke said and she gasped softly when Harry snatched the chocolate from her hand and held it away from her.
"Tell me," Harry said lowly.
"It was nothing really," Brooke sighed and looked up into Harry's eyes. "He was trying to explain himself, I guess in his own way he was trying to apologise. He said he was going to try and calm Rogue down."
"Was that all?"
Brooke nodded. "And he wanted to make sure I was alright."
Harry sighed and ran his fingers over the bruise on Brooke's face. "He didn't need to come here. Rogues got his stupid spies all over town, they could've fucking told your stupid cousin."
Brooke grabbed Harry's hand. "Can I have my chocolate back now?"
Harry rolled his eyes and kissed Brooke. "All I've seen you eat recently is sweets. You need a decent meal."
"I'm fine with junk food-"
"Come on, let's go out for a meal."
"But chocolate-"
Harry pulled Brooke towards the front of the house. "Chocolate can wait."
"Brooke!" Ace called as her and Harry reached the front door.
"Can it wait?" Harry asked.
"I just wanted to ask where Indie was," Ace said. "I can't find her."
Brooke paled slightly. "Really?" She said. "Strange."
"What do you mean you can't find her? Have you searched the house?" Harry demanded.
"Yeah," Ace frowned. "She's not here."
"I'm sure she's fine," Brooke shrugged.
"Where is she?" Harry demanded, crossing his arms over his chest and looking down at Brooke.
"I haven't got a clue! Why would you think I'd know!" Brooke argued.
"Because if you thought there was a slightest chance your best friend was missing then you'd be freaking out," Harry said. "And, babe, you're completely calm, so you know where she is."
"I don't!"
"Brooke, is she okay?" Ace asked.
"I don't know where she is!"
Harry grabbed Brooke and pressed his lips to hers. Brooke was soon lost in Harry's touch. The sparks were overwhelming. As they kissed Harry pushed through the barrier Brooke had up in her mind. She had pretty much perfected the art of keeping him blocked out.
But he knew ways around it.
He just had to distract Brooke long enough for him to push through-
"She's gone to see Rogue," Harry said and pulled away from Brooke.
"Harry!" Brooke yelled. "Keep out of my fucking head!"
"Why the hell would you keep that from us, Brooke!" Harry shouted.
"He could hurt her!" Ace said.
"Yeah, I thought that too when she first said she was going!" Brooke said and stepped back from Harry. "But she managed to be pretty convincing and made me promise I wouldn't tell anyone!"
"You're a fucking idiot," Harry snapped. "We're going to get her."
"No, you just had a fight with Rogue!" Brooke said. "If he sees you then he'll be even more pissed than he already is! It won't help Indie!"
"Harry, she's right," Ace sighed. "We can't risk angering him further."
"We can't just fucking wait!"
Brooke sighed and rubbed her eyes. "We do. And if we've not heard anything in two hours then we go round there and make him even more pissed."
Indianna parked outside Rogue's house and sat staring for a few minutes.
What was he going to do?
Was he going to be mad?
"Of course he's going to be mad," Indianna grumbled and took a deep breath. "You're a Luna, Indie, you can face him."
"Knock knock!"
Indianna jumped in fright when a hand knocked on her window and she looked up and saw Rogue. "Don't look so frightened, little sister, I'm not going to hurt you," Rogue called and opened Indianna's door. "You're still hurting from his death so that will do for now."
Indianna narrowed her eyes at Rogue who smiled and grabbed her arm, pulling her out of the car. "What do you want?" Indianna said through gritted teeth.
"I just want a chat with my sister," Rogue said simply and wrapped his arm round Indianna's shoulder. "Her pack has been naughty and I'm not very happy."
"You kidnapped a pack member," Indianna said. "All we did was get her back."
"You attacked my men, attacked me," Rogue snapped. "I'm not pleased."
"Your men attacked me," Indianna said and she found her hands going to her stomach. "And her."
Rogue paused as he opened the door to the house. "Her?" He wondered.
"Just a hunch."
"What do you mean they attacked you? They know you're off limits," Rogue said slowly, his eyes hardening.
"I was shoved to the ground. I landed on my stomach."
Rogue pursed his lips. "Seems as if my men were telling porkies," he said and tutted. "Did they tell the truth about her across the road? She joined in the fight?"
"She did," Indianna said and slowly stepped into her old house. "But she didn't know what she was getting involved in, she just thought we were in trouble and wanted to help. Please don't involve them in this, they don't know anything."
Indianna jumped when Rogue slammed the door behind them. "She's a werewolf, sister. They both are."
"I don't even think they know what they are," Indianna said. "They seem clueless about us-"
"For now," Rogue said. "Take a seat in the lounge, I trust you know where it is."
Indianna swallowed and slowly made her way into the lounge, sitting cautiously on one of the couches.
"I'm surprisingly impressed," Rogue called, following behind Indianna and sitting down opposite her. "Honestly, I didn't think your pack had much strength left, but you've proved me wrong. And that is why I'm not going to kill any of your pack members for what they did."
Indianna sucked in a breath. "You're not going to hurt them?"
"Ah ah, don't get ahead of yourself," Rogue said and smirked. He ran his fingers through his hair. "I haven't decided if I'm going to hurt anyone yet, but I'm leaning towards not hurting anyone because your pack have proved themselves to be useful."
"Useful?"
"As you're clearly aware I don't want to control just one pack, I want to control all of them," Rogue said as if he was pointing out the most obvious thing in the world. "And your pack has lived up to it's frightening reputation, so I'm going to use you to take control over more packs. I was hoping to start with a friend of yours. Alpha Janson?"
