Chapter 78:

Pythia POV:

Tye and I were still sitting in the field with Apollo when everyone started sitting by us. I felt confused because they were supposed to be training unless word has gotten out about what is happening. I'm sure I looked like hell in a handbasket and if it wasn't for Apollo I would have never calmed down. My mind had been spinning with ideas on how to handle this but I needed to talk to Margaret a little more. "Pythia, how are you doing?" Olivia asked as she came to sit next to me. "I'm angry, saddened and guilty." I replied. "You are guilty of nothing my dear. You have every right to be angry and to feel sadness for them, but never feel guilty." Olivia said, rubbing my back. Apollo walked over to Olivia with a big smile. "I have called everyone here so that we can figure out a few different plans on how we are going to save the witches." Tye said. "What about the new babies?" I asked. "Julie is still caring for them in the hospital and Ambrosia nearly went on a killing rampage when she heard about what happened." Olivia replied. 

Shit I didn't even think of how mad she was going to be. I wonder how the boys are coming along with getting the information we will need. I looked around and everyone was making small talk, kids were running around playing as if they had no worries in the world. "Auntie Pythia?" A little voice called behind me. I turned to see Danny with Ember behind him. Ember looked ready to kill and I hated that I couldn't really communicate with her. I held my arms out to him and he sat in my lap. His little ember eyes were brighter and looked as if I was looking at the stars. "What are you up to little Danny?" I asked. He gently laid his head on my chest and curled into a ball in my lap. "I just know you need extra love right now." Danny replied. I felt Ember lay down behind me and I leaned back against her. "I really appreciate you Danny." I whispered.

His little head popped up, "I know auntie but you know things will be better. I mean I'm not suppose to tell you anything but Athea told me to tell you to follow your heart." Danny said, scrunching his little face up. "She said you will know what is right to do." Danny said, looking up at me. I smiled down at him, "You must speak with Athea often." I replied. "I do! She is really nice and she is always watching no matter how terrible things are." Danny replied. "She is really nice. I hope to see her again sometime." I said. "You will soon. The other alphas are coming though." Danny said sitting up. I wanted to ask what he meant by I'll be seeing Athea soon. "We are going to go play with the other kids. I love you auntie." Danny said, standing up and kissing my cheek. "Have fun and be safe my little Danny." I called as he ran off. "That child has a heart of gold." Tye said. "Yes he does, he truly is special." I replied. 

I heard a few gasps and I turned to see what they were looking at. Lee, Jax and Ryan had blood all over them and papers in their hands. They all had murderous looks on their faces and I feared what they were told. "Alpha, Queen. A word alone please." Lee said. I stood to my feet and picked up Apollo, "Let's walk this way." I said quietly. As we walked everyones eyes shifted to us but they quickly went back to their conversations. "I will not tell you all the details but, we need to get to them fast." Jax said. "I need to know all the details. I know we need to get them but if something is happening to make us move faster tell me." I replied. They all looked at each other before Ryan took a deep breath. "They aren't going to use those witches in the war. They plan on sacrificing the men to obtain their power and um.. Well they are using the women for.." I watched as Ryan tripped over his words and my heart started beating incredibly hard. "Using the women for what?" I croaked out. "They are breeding them." Lee whispered. I felt the blood rush out of my face and my heart instantly sank. 

"Wha- What did you just say?" I whispered. My heart was racing and I held Apollo closer. "Pythia, I- I'm so sorry but they are trying to mix the races like you and your brothers. The alpha from overseas made the deal with your elders so he can use the children as a power tool to completely take over all races overseas." Jax said, hanging his head. "Un-fucking-believable!" Ambrosia roared. My head snapped over to see a furious looking queen. "Ambrosia.." I said. Her eyes set on me and then Apollo and she instantly calmed down. I exhaled the breath I was holding, I knew my temper was bad but hers is so much worse. "What else?" I asked the men to turn back. "They do plan on attacking on a full moon, the wolves overseas believe that on the full moon they gain more strength, something about a ritual that was done before they came over here, they plan on sacrificing the men a week before the full moon and harvest their power. They train night and day nearly non stop." Lee replied. 

"They also have plans so try to bomb us again next week sometime." Jax added. "We can't let that happen. Did he give you a location?" I asked. I needed to make sure Margret had seen things correctly. "Somewhere in the mountains but it is heavily cloaked. We wouldn't be able to see them." Lee replied. So Margret had seen everything, this is good news. "Oh we will see them." Lillith said, walking up to us. "Margret woke up while I was in the room with her, she told me that they have lined everything with crystals and bags. I have already sent what to do to Stony. Once everything is ready I will let you know. Margret is asking for you." Lillith added. "Thank you Lillith, we will construct a plan for when it is ready. Do you know how long it could take?" I asked. "A couple hours at most." Lillith replied. I nodded my head at her and turned to Tye. "I am going to see Margret I want everyone on this field in ten minutes." I said. "I will have them all here my beauty." Tye replied, taking Apollo from me. I held my hand out to Ambrosia, "You are coming with me." I said

Ambrosia took my hand and within minutes we were in the room. Margret was curled into a ball with her knees tightly tucked into her chest. "Margret?" I said gently. Her head peaked out from under the covers and I saw just how red and puffy her eyes were. I walked over and sat on the edge of her bed, her eyes shifted from mine to Ambrosias and I could see pure fear in her eyes. "Don't be afraid of her. That is Ambrosia, queen of the vampires. She is also my sister." I said gently. "We were told she was ruthless. A murderer." Margret whispered in a shaky breath. "I can be at times and yes I have killed but only to protect people I care about. I promise I am not going to hurt you." Ambrosia said with a small smile. "I was told you wanted to see me. How are you feeling?" I asked. "I'm honestly not sure how to feel, my queen. I wanted to tell you everything." Margret replied. "Please, call me Pythia and I already know. We have a wolf in the cells that has told us everything. Has Julie been to see you?" I asked. Margrets head sank and I could see the tears fall down her face. "You do not have to tell me what you went through. I can have someone come in and you can speak privately to them about what you went through." I whispered softly.

She quickly wiped her tears away, "Miss Julie is supposed to come soon and I am frightened.. I can't bring myself to speak of what happened. It makes me feel dirty." Margrets whispered. "Don't feel dirty, it is not your fault but mine. I should have gotten to you all sooner and I will forever hold that guilt within me. We have to go and figure out how we are going to get them back." I replied, lifting her head up. "They are keeping all the witches in one house, it is red, broken windows and rotting boards. They won't fight against you unless they are instructed to." Margret said. A knock on the door caught our attention and Julie stuck her head in. I stood from the bed and walked to the door. "Please be gentle with her. She is very fragile right now." I whispered. "I know, I was informed. I won't push her to say or do anything I promise." Julie replied. She looked over my shoulder to Ambrosia. "Ari will be released tomorrow morning to go home. She is with my assistant." Julie said before she carefully walked to the side of the bed. "We will leave you two alone. Please summon me should anything happen." I said. 

I quickly grabbed Ambrosias hand and took us back outside to a waiting crowd who by the looks of it had already been filled in. An idea came across my mind but I don't know if it is possible but it is worth a shot. "Listen carefully, tonight we are going to make our move to get my witches back but only a few wolves can go. We will have to mask our scent so it isn't picked up. I have an idea but it might take a toll on us but it will be worth it." I announced. I took a deep breath and looked around. "I will need all my witches tonight. Margret has told me where they are being housed and I want to teleport the entire damn house back here. Lillith and Stony are working on something to remove the cloak so we can see in and find them, but at night they are all sent to sleep but I will do a sweep of the land to make sure we do not leave anyone behind." I said. "Is that even possible?" Natalie asked. "I honestly don't know. We can teleport with a group of people so why not a house?" I replied. "Wouldn't that be too suspicious? Us taking the entire house?" Another asked. "They will find out one way or another when the witches are gone and I don't want to take the time for us to grab on to someone and bring them back." I replied. 

"What wolves are going? I am itching to rip them apart." A young wolf growled out. "Alphas only, and the twins because they are half white witches." I replied. "I want all my witches to do what you need to do to prepare yourselves. Take the rest of the day if you need to. I have a few more things to set in place before we go." I added. Everyone scrambled to their feet but I turned to Tye. "We need to get all the alphas together to tell them what is going on, I will need to go get what I need to mask our scents." I said softly. "I had the link open so they heard everything. Go get what you need and I will meet you at the pack house alright?" Tye said, kissing my forehead. I kissed Apollo on the cheek before I turned around. It was only a matter of time before I got my witches back, I sent a silent prayer to Athea to protect them, watch over them and somehow let them know they will soon be safe.
