Cassie nodded and used her paw to point out the one entrance she had found, trying to convey that she wanted all but that one closed off. That way they'd be funneled into her waiting jaws.

Octavius already was way ahead of her. He had located every exit and the tunnels leading away from the entrance at Cassie's jaw. Closing them all off at once, he waited for the rabbits to stir and run right to her. He didn't have to wait long. Soon enough, the male adult was running out of the entrance to the den.

As soon as the adult male came out Cassie had grabbed it by the head and before she remembered that she was going to let Octavius put it down, she had shaken it much like a dog would. It hung limp in her jaws and she looked up at him, her eyes showing her apology. Even though the rabbit ended quickly, she and he had had a plan.

Octavius sent her a smile. They were hunting. Part of that was teamwork. He wasn't sorry in the least. He took out the other five with small pebbles through the heads. They lay at her feet and Octavius made his way over to pick them up. He could have used their blood to kill them. But the idea of bending someones or anything's blood like he did with elements again was horribly unsettling. So he wasn't going there.

Cassie held the male in her jaws and half shifted so she could carry him in her hand. "Do you want me to carry any of those?" She towered over him, but sounded as gentle as a puppy. She started heading back along the path towards the cabin.

"Sure, you take three, I'll take three? And should we clean them out here?" Octavius asked, looking around them. "Not that I think another animal will move in, as this is your territory now, but they could eat the scrapes out here and that left unbeaten can help the plants."

"Cleaning them out here would be a good idea. That way we can give back to Mother Gaia..." Cassie huffed slightly as she sniffed a bit feeling something off. "Actually... Let's clean them back at the cabin... We can put the remains out for some of the trees."

"Mother Gaia? A goddess? Wil you tell me about yours? I only really know of some of mine. And not very well. I can not remember names," Octavius said, walking back in the lead. He had dropped his guard, feeling and trusting that between Cassie and himself, they would be fine. Hiw wrong he was. His foot came down in some brush and sharp metal closed around his leg, causing him to cry out in pain. "Cassie, stop!" He grunted, worried something would get her too.

"Of course I can tell you all about the g-" Cassie jumped as Octavius cried out. She dropped the rabbits and knelt down to inspect the metal trap. "Oh gods, how did this get here?" She growled as she tried to see how to open it without hurting him, and since she couldn't figure that out she shook her head and snorted. "Octavius, I'm carrying you out of here..." She stood up as she caught something wrong in the air. A familiar scent that caused her hackles to raise. She took another step and howled as another trap closed itself around her hind leg.

Octavius swore, looking over at Cassie's leg. "Give me...a moment...I can get...it open..." He huffed, trying to turn towards her so he could see better. The pain in his leg intensified. Stopping before he tore it worse, Octavius thought. "Okay...what do we do? I can open them. But need to focus. If we yelled we might get someone's attention...I can amplify our voices...it's easier then opening the metal," he hissed, trying to staunch the bleeding.

Cassie whimpered as she pulled at her leg causing her to howl out again. A cruel laugh echoed through the trees. Cassie looked over at Octavius, fear etched in expression. She all but roared as she grabbed the chain that linked her trap to the ground and pulled with all of her strength.

Octavius looked around frantically. If he could spot the owner of the laugh, he could protect Cassie! A sharp brief pain hit his back and he frowned, trying to reach whatever it was. But the familiar black ink of a tranquilier's venom spread over his senses. "Cassie...run..." He groaned, his vision going dark and passing out.

Cassie fell over as she had broken one of the links in the chain, but by then Octavius had fallen to the dart. "Octavius!" She moved over to his body and held herself over him, ready to protect him with her life. She let out a yelp as a dart hit her in the shoulder. She saw where it came from and charged over, her rage keeping the pain temporarily at bay, the dart seemingly having no affect just yet. "Stupid cur..." The voice came again, and the figure moved around the tree out of the way. "I knew I should've poisoned your food, look at you, you're rabid!" Another dart came from behind a different tree. The man wasn't alone. Cassie snarled as she ignored the dark that was seeping into her vision and she tried to claw at the man, and instead dug her claws into a tree. "Just one more should do..." Another dart, and that was it. With the last little bit of consciousness she had, she crawled over towards Octavius not even making it halfway before she succumbed to the drugs that coursed through her system.

Octavius woke up, feeling sluggish and like his mouth was full of cotton. Groaning, he tried to get up. Sadly, his arms and legs were tied behind his back. He lay on his stomach, face pressed to a wooden floor. Nothing he could bend there. And his left leg ached. The bone had to be broken. Hissing, he tried not to move it as he looked for Cassie.

Max had just made his way into the cabin, expecting someone to be there. Not cassie or Octavius, as they would be hunting. He wasn't expecting them. Knocking softly, he was surprised to see Vera, her eyes wide.

"Max! You are here! Good, Jason, come here. You both need to go. Right now," she said.

Cassie whimpered from the corner of their shared cell. Her leg was looking rather badly, but she wasn't bound at all. She was curled in on herself and grasping something at her neck. It was a collar. One that looked like the one around Octavius' neck. "So... Now that you're awake..." The voice came from next to their cell, and it came from the slaver that had been thrown into the cell by Max. "I had only wanted the mongrel, but I guess you're just a bonus. I can sell you, but," He glared at Cassie who had stopped whimpering and was glaring with the same intensity back at him. "You I plan to keep for myself... At least for a little while... Then I'll send you back to your master... The one that embarrassed and humiliated me... In pieces... I think I'd send an ear first..." As he spoke he had started walking back and forth along the cell, just out of reach should either try to grab him, and in his hand he held a little black box.

Jason was almost instantly by Vera's side. "What's wrong? What have you seen?" His blood suddenly ran cold at a terrible thought. "What's happened to them?"

Octavius growled, struggling to move to a more dignified position. "No, you aren't. You are dead. Our masters will come for us and they will kill you. And you aren't going to touch her. You did what you did and have to live with the consequences. If you act like a pig, prepared to be treated like one. You got off lightly," he said in a rare act of defiance.

"They were taken. We need to go. Now. I can take you both there...at least when they will be. I just need something from them. I can cast a spell and walk us through time and space...it'll take more then I've used in a while. And with the prayers sparse like they have been, it'll be harsh. We can't mess up," Vera muttered, going to find something from the pair. "The stupid trackers," she muttered after a moment, looking for where she'd put them.

"What?" Max asked, confused.

The slaver laughed loudly and spread his arms in a 'come get me' sort of stance. "Oh ho! Big words coming from a slave... How will your masters come get you if they don't know where you are?" He smirked and chuckled and then looked to Cassie. "I suppose you've fallen back into silence again?" Cassie snorted and ignored him turning her gaze to Octavius. "Just don't talk to it... It doesn't like not being talked to..." The slaver dropped his arms and moved over to her corner and kicked her through the bars. She turned and had grabbed his shirt only to be shocked, a reminder of her collar. "Ah ah, if you hurt me, I hurt him..." He pointed to Octavius and Cassie growled, but that quieted as she looked over at him. "Now, either you come out nicely, or he loses that pretty hair of his..." He knew about that nerve and hit it purposely.

"What?" Jason had asked in tandem with Max. He followed Vera and handed her the tracker she had pulled from Octavius' neck. "Vera, what did you just say?"

Octavius gasped before thrashing wildly in an attempt to attack the man. Swearing and threatening, he ran through any and all of the languages he knew, trying to use his powers. Pain washed over him as he upset his messed up leg but he didn't particularly care. It was his hair! His status as a warrior! But...if he had to give it up for Cassie, he would. Just...not yet. It hadn't gotten that far yet...right? This guy was bluffing.

"I'm sorry, there isn't really a lot of time to explain. But here's the short story," Vera said, snatching up the tracker she'd taken out of Cassie and taking the one from Jason. "I am no mortal. I'm a goddess. And I've been watching you both, hoping I could help somehow. I do not approve of this slavery mess mortals have gotten into. One of my kind must be pushing it. It's working up to something. All I know is something isn't right with your mates. They've been taken and we need to get them back, before something bad happens. I'll explain later, alright?" The woman dashed around, grabbing anything she thought she might need and putting it into a basket she pulled out of thin air.

"I...Cassie and Octavius are in trouble? I can't wrap my head around the goddess thing yet. But how do I help them?" Max asked, striding forward.

Cassie barked once to get Octavius' attention, but he was pretty distracted. She pushed off her good leg and held him down trying to calm him. "Octavius, stop that. You look ridiculous and it's not doing you any good, nor me." She whispered, she sighed and looked up to the slaver who was trying not to laugh at the spectacle. "You swear to the gods above and below that you will do no harm to him if I go with you?" This question stilled the slaver, he'd never been able to tame her, but, was that working? "I swear I won't hurt him." He sounded serious. Cassie nodded and whispered again to Octavius. "I'm sorry..." Was all she said before she shifted fully and moved over to the door, her tail hung limply behind her and her head was held low. The slaver beamed. He had won and would take ever advantage. He opened the door and as soon as she was out it was closed.

Jason simply followed Vera dumbly trying to take all of that in. His stomach was in knots, literally worried sick. "Y-yeah, what can we do?"

"No! No, you can't! I'm not worth that! Come back! Please!" Octavius bellowed, still struggling. "No!" Swearing again, he began praying to whoever he thought could help them. Jason was at the forefront, followed closely by Max. Vera with her strange power came to mind and Octavius stilled. Craning his neck, he stroked the tattoo on his arm where he could reach from where she's healed him. "...Vera, please...help us..." He whispered.

Vera froze, listening to something. She was hearing Octavius' cry for help. "...clever boy. Oh! You wonderfully clever boy!" She grinned turning to the door. "He's praying. I can hear and feel him praying. Things got so much easier! Come on, Octavius," she said, only slightly for the boys benefit. "I need you both to think about Cassie and Octavius. How it feels to have them in your arms and safe. And offering it in a prayer to me probably wouldn't hurt. I'm going to cast my circle and get this started. I have a pin point of where they are at. Just need to open the portal and take you both with me."

Max looked dumb struck but did as was asked. Cassie had to be okay...he was going to make things okay.
