"P-please, whatever you're planning-"
"Quiet," Ben said simply and he looked at Sasha who was trying to discretely text on her phone. "Throw the phone out of the window!" Ben called and waved his gun. "Or I'll kill you."
Sasha froze. Ben aimed the gun.
"Stop it!" Brooke yelled and lurched forward. "She's got nothing to do with any of this!"
"Behave," the guy holding Brooke snapped and tightened his grasp. Brooke had cut her neck and a trickle of blood was sliding down her neck.
"Don't make me ask again," Ben called and Sasha quickly threw her phone out of the window.
"How are you alive?" Brooke asked. "You're dead. You d-died."
"You mean your mate murdered me?" Ben said and raised his eyebrows. "I had someone to save me."
Brooke frowned. "Rogue. Rogue connects all of this together. Rogue is a werewolf, you hate werewolves! Why are you working with him!"
Ben smiled and tucked the gun into his jeans. "Because he can give me what I want."
"Revenge," Brooke whispered and suddenly she feared for Harry.
"Revenge," Ben nodded. "I'm going to make Harry suffer. And then, I'll kill him."
"P-please, Ben, we were friends! Don't do this! We worked together-"
"That didn't stop you from stepping in when your mate tried to murder me. You watched. You did nothing!" Ben spat.
"What the hell could I do against Harry!" Brooke snapped. "You of all people know how weak I am compared to him!"
"He listens to you! You could've talked him out of it!"
"Ben, you were hunting werewolves!" Brooke cried. "You'd killed so many innocent people!"
"Well, at least Harry isn't innocent," Ben shrugged.
"Please!" Brooke pleaded.
"Don't worry, I don't plan on killing him for a while," Ben smiled. He walked up to Brooke and grabbed her chin. She cringed under his touch. "I've got lots planned before I take his life."
"He's in my head," Brooke whispered. "He's coming. He knows where I am-"
"Don't lie, Brooke," Ben tutted. "He's not in your head."
"I... I-"
"You don't want him to find out," Ben said and smirked. "Do you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Brooke whispered.
"You're surprisingly bad at lying, Brooke," Ben said and Brooke gasped when he grabbed her and pulled her forward. "Lets go on a little trip."
"What about the girl?" The guy that was holding Brooke asked. He looked over his shoulder at Sasha.
"She's irrelevant. Leave her," Ben said dismissively and he dragged Brooke further down the dark road. They reached his car and Brooke panicked, fighting against Ben when he opened the trunk.
"No, get off me! Let me go!" Brooke yelled and desperately tried to run from him.
"Get in," Ben snapped.
Brooke closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She had to let Harry in. She would just have to accept the fact that he would find out her secret.
As soon as she removed the block from her mind she felt Harry's presence immediately.
*Babe, what's wrong? Where are you?*
*H-Harry-* Brooke's thoughts were cut off and she gasped when there was a sharp prick in her neck. She looked up at Ben with wide eyes as he removed the needle from her neck. She suddenly couldn't feel Harry.
He was gone.
"W-what-"
"It's a nice little invention of mine," Ben smiled. "Blocks the mindlink of mates and pack members. Now get in the fucking car."
"Go to hell," Brooke snapped.
"We're already there," Ben whispered and grabbed the back of Brooke's neck, shoving her into the trunk of the car. She yelled out and fought against him, but he over powered her.
Brooke looked up and her eyes widened when she saw a button on the inside of the trunk. She was sure it released the trunk from the inside.
"Oh, Brooke, it's not going to be that easy," Ben chuckled and he grabbed Brooke's arm that wasn't in a cast and handcuffed her to the inside of the trunk.
"You bastard," Brooke hissed. "You're going to regret this, Harry's going to-"
Ben rolled his eyes and held his had out. The guy passed him a roll of duct tape and he ripped a piece off, securing it over Brooke's mouth.
"Now, Alec," Ben turned to the guy- Alec- and smiled. The trunk was suddenly closed and Brooke was surrounded in darkness. She could still here Ben. "Let's have some fun, shall we?"

Tai watched with wide eyes as the man who had kidnapped Brooke drove away. After being at the diner with Brandon and Raiden, she had eventually managed to go on the run she planned.
The run didn't last very long before she stumbled upon... that.
Tai swore and burst out from behind the trees. She rushed over to Sasha who was sitting in the car in shock. "Oi, wake up!" Tai snapped and opened the car door, shaking Sasha.
"W-wha-"
"Move over," Tai ordered. "Move the fuck over, you withering idiot!"
Sasha gasped softly, and let Tai push her across to the passenger seat. "Brooke- she- g-gun-"
"Shut up," Tai said and got into the drivers seat. She started the car and sped off into the night. "I know what you've just experienced is frightening, but I'm sure Brooke is going through worse than you. You need to man the fuck up, and tell me exactly what happened. Who was that guy?"
"I..." Sasha's breaths came out in short gasps. "He... he was dead. He- that's not possible-"
"Hey, um... Shit, what's your name?" Tai said. She knew this girl was one of Brooke's friends, but she hadn't met her properly.
"S-Sasha."
"Okay, Sasha, what do you mean he's dead?" Tai asked.
"Brooke said Harry killed him!" Sasha panicked. "I thought he died in a car crash!"
"Sasha!" Tai yelled. "Who the fuck is he?"
"His name is B-Ben. He was Brooke's manager, before he d-died," Sasha choked out.
Tai sighed. "God, this town is fucked up," she muttered. "What else can you tell me?"
"I don't know!" Sasha cried. "What's going to happen to Brooke!"
Tai gritted her teeth. "I have no idea."

Tai slammed the breaks on the car when she reached the pack house and she jumped out, running up to the front door. She smashed her fist onto the wood and yelled loudly.
"Someone open the fuck u-"
"Tai," Ace gasped when he opened the door. "What's wrong?"
"Something's happened, to Brooke," Tai said.
"I know, Harry's freaking out. He can't get into her head-"
"He won't be able to. She's been kidnapped," Tai explained.
"How the hell do you know this?" Ace demanded and gently grabbed Tai's arm, pulling her into the house.
"I saw it happen," Tai said. "I wanted to help, but he had a gun... I'm good, but I wasn't going to be much use against a gun."
"Kidnapped? By who?"
Tai sighed. "That's a question you need to ask her." Tai pointed to the car where Sasha was sitting, her eyes still wide with shock.
"Indie!" Ace yelled and after a few moments Indianna came walking down the stairs. She looked worried and she sighed, running her fingers through her hair.
"Yeah?" She said and looked up, frowning when she saw Tai. "What is it?"
"Brooke's been kidnapped," Ace said. "Tai saw it happen."
"She what?" Harry's yell travelled through the house and he came rushing down the stair. "You better tell me fucking everything-"
"Harry!" Ace said sharply. "Take a step back and calm down!"
"Calm down!" Harry fumed. "What if it was Tai that had been kidnapped!"
Ace stiffened and he turned to Tai. "Tai saw the whole thing. Apparently Sasha was there as well."
"Why didn't you do anything!" Harry yelled and stepped forward.
"I didn't want to get shot!" Tai snapped and Oscar joined the guys at the bottom of the stairs. He stood in front of Harry and firmly shoved him back.
"Don't get angry at her," Oscar said sternly.
"I would've helped, if I knew I could've helped! If I'd have stepped in I would've been shot," Tai said. "This guy didn't seem like he was messing about."
"Who was he?" Indianna asked.
"B-Ben." Sasha had walked up to the door. "But he's d-dead."
"Shit," Oscar swore and he had to throw Harry back into the wall. "Harry, you freaking out isn't going to help Brooke!"
"That's impossible!" Harry growled and fought against Oscar. "He is dead, I killed him!"
"Shit, Brooke was telling the truth," Sasha gasped and stumbled backwards.
"Sasha," Indianna said softly. "Come with me. Tell me what happened." Indianna took Sasha's hand and led her through the house.
"Brooke was injected with something," Tai called. "The man said how it blocks mindlinks or something."
