"Where are we going Raven?" North asked as they rushed to help Doc gather anything and everything he could possibly need.

"Haunt house in forest hour away," Raven growled as they rushed to their cars. "Hour away no believe so close here."

"We will find her and bring her home," Owen said.

They got in their cars and sped off. Forty five minutes later they pulled up to the forest and followed Raven who was clearly on a mission. Some time later they found the dilapidated house. A few of the windows were busted and there was ivy climbing over most of the walls. There were holes in the roof and there was just a creepiness about the whole building. They could easily see how people thought it would be haunted. They could also see the potential of the house also. The trees gave it great coverage and it was so deep in the house no one would really know about it unless someone told them about the location. It was beautiful yet creepy at the same time.

"Holy shit," Gabe whispered as they carefully came up on the porch. "Why the fuck would she be here Raven? How did she even know about this fucking place."

"I find day walking clear head. I tell she say magical fix one day," Raven whispered as he forced the door open. "She love fix make own surround trees like fairy. I tell she ever go hiding come here I leave phone call me. She disappear I leave phone. Come charge often just in case."

"Glad you did," Axel said as they searched the rooms.

"Raven," Brandon called out from the kitchen.

Raven came in and nodded where Brandon was pointing to a hole in the floor that was clearly pulled up. "I hid phone under floor."

"Where would she hide Raven?" Nathan asked as they looked around.

"Tiny," Raven growled and they separated.

"Don't go up there Lucian," North growled as Luke tried going upstairs. "You will fall through the damn steps. It's not safe."

"If she's tiny she could easily go up there and hide," Luke pointed out. "I can go up there and look to make sure."

"Fine," North relented, "Just be careful."

"Got it," Luke nodded and started to carefully head upstairs. He searched the first room and didn't find anything, same with the second. He entered the third one and could instantly tell that something was different. The air felt different, it held a secret. He searched under the bed and in the closet but nothing. He looked around again and his eyes settled on a chest at the foot of the bed. He carefully walked over to it and knelt down. He pushed the lid open and sighed in relief.

"Anastasia," He smiled softly at the tiny woman curled up in it. "I'm Luke Taylor, one of Raven's husbands. He's downstairs going frantic for you."

"Raven," She said as she sat up. "Raven here?"

"Yes," Luke smiled softly. He pulled out his phone and called Raven. She heard a phone ring downstairs before she heard Raven's growl.

"Luke, find Kitten?" Raven growled.

"Yes Raven, I'm looking at her right now," Luke said putting the phone on speaker. "She was hiding in a chest, I just wanted to call you so she could trust me to help her."

"Da Kitten," Raven sighed in relief. "Luke husband. He bring you downstairs. I'm here. Good job hiding."

"Da Bear," she said as she nodded.

Luke hung up the phone and held his hands out, "Come on Anastasia, let's get you to Raven."

"Thank you," she said as she stood. "Whoa," She gasped as she lost her balance and fell into his arms.

"Shit, Anastasia you're bleeding," he said as he removed his hand from her waist. "Okay nice and slow isn't going to happen anymore." He swept her up into his arms bridal style and left the room. Once he reached the stairs he called out, "She's lost a lot of blood Doc."

"Kitten," Raven's face was filled with worry as Luke carefully came down and passed her over to Sean.

"The hospital is close by, let's go there, I'll call Dr. Roberts so he will know this one is off the records and will have a room waiting for us," Owen said grabbing his phone. "We need to hurry."

"Raven," She whispered as he walked beside Sean.

"Da Kitten," He smiled softly. "I got you."

"Oh thank goodness," She said as she finally let the darkness take over.
