Ro sighed as she left Synne and Erian's room. They had a long day and both kids were exhausted. She settled down in a chair with a book and cup of tea. Despite telling Az she was going to find a new romp she really had no clue on where to start with that. No one had really struck her fancy lately. Well... except...
KNOCK KNOCK
She glanced up at the door. "Who in the world... I swear if thats Sal I'll kill him. I just got those two to sleep..." Ro walked up and opened the door and blinked in shock "How..."
"Hello Rowena darling..." Helga smiled at her "Surprised to see me?"
Ro shifted uneasily and took a half step back "A bit... last I saw you were stone.."
Helga grinned again "Ah yes... your Warlock got in the way last time. I see you've had those abominations. Tisk Tisk Rowena... you should've checked to make sure his spell held. As it was.. I was freed... by a most remarkable alli."
Celie and Voldemort stepped forward out of the shadows and gave a wave "Hello Auntie Ro..."
Ro took another step back and slammed the door, warding it quickly "Ohhh crap..." She ran to Synne and Erian's room, already feeling the house rock with the effort to get her wards down"
Synne was sitting up in bed looking scared and Erian was trying to look brave but was also nervous. Synne looked over "Whats going on Mommy?"
Ro took a breath and pulled them both out of bed "Listen to me VERY carefully. There's some bad pony's outside trying to get in... I'm going to go distract them and I want you two to go out your window and run to Uncle Sal's"
Synne grabbed Erian nervously "What about daddy?"
"Daddy's fine... if you don't think you can make it to uncle Sal's you can run to daddy's. Erian I'm putting you in charge of Synne. I want you to watch her... and whatever the two of you do or hear... DO NOT look or come back here!"
Erian nodded solemnly "ok mommy... I'll watch Synne"
Ro nodded "Good" as the house rocked again "Remember... keep running and don't stop until you get to Uncle Sal or Daddy's" and left their room, closing the door and warding that as well before walking to the front room again.. just as the door blew in.
Helga walked in and smiled "Aww trying to keep put your best friend? I think I'm hurt Ro.."
Ro had her wand out and pointed it at Helga "What do you want Helga?"
"Why.... to finish what I started..." and threw a curse at Ro
Ro shielded herself and ducked behind her couch and retaliated and soon the house was filled with curses flying back and forth. After a little while the couch exploded from Helga's curse... tossing Ro back into the wall. She grimaced and felt the stunner hit her, mentally cursing her luck before it went black.
---------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile once the door had crashed in Erian and Synne had quietly climbed out their window and were now running toward Salazar's house.
Synne squeaked as a curse flew overhead and hit a nearby tree.
Erian gave a quick glance back and grimaced "Run faster Synne... I think were being followed"
Celie and Voldemort followed the two children managing to hit them with a few cutting curses.
Erian frowned and quickly pulled Synne through some quick turns and hid under a bush. "Synne stay here until they pass and then go to Daddy."
Synne glanced at him with huge eyes "But.. Mommy said to stay together.."
"I know.. but we have to split up otherwise they'll catch us. Your smaller and can make it to dad faster. i can distract them for awhile ok?"
She sniffed and nodded slowly "ok..."
Celie looked around "Come out come out little ones!"
Erian took a breath and ran out of the bush, making as much noise as possible, attracting their attention
Celie smiled "Oh good... playtime's still on..." and they followed him still shooting curses.
Erian ran as fast as he could, crying out and once curse hit his leg causing him to stumble and fall.
Celie stood over him and grinned "Aww the toy got a boo boo? Shame... no one wants a damaged toy..."
Voldemort glanced over "Celie... lets just get him and go. Helga should be done by now..."
She nodded and stunned Erian and levitating him, headed back to Ro's house.
-------------------------------------------------------
Synne stayed in the bush for as long as she dared, freezing as she saw the 'bad' pony's walk by with Erian floating behind them. Erian had said to get Daddy though and thats what she was going to do. Sniffing and crying she went running to where she knew Daddy and her brothers lived. When she got to the tree she started banging on it, crying even more from fright and her injuries "DADDY!!! ARC! SABER! VAL!" Whimpering at the stinging and bleeding cuts she had on her side.

"What the..." Saber jumped in surprise at the sudden knocking. "No one ever comes by here?"
"It sounds like Synne..." Valzar said looking up at his older brother.
"It is Synne," Arcanon said bounding towards the door, but his father was already there.
Azaroth threw open the door, stiffening as he saw the condition of his daughter. "Synne, what happened? Where's your brother and your mother?"

Synne sobbed and hugged Azaroth "Daddy... there were 'bad' pony's at the house. Mommy told me and Erian to run out the window and she was going to fight them and the house was shaking. We ran but some were chasing and cursing us and Erian hid us and told me to stay in the bush and he was going to distract them and then I was to run here and.. and.... I saw them walk back. And Erian was floating and unconscious and he was bleeding and I don't know where Mommy is..." She took a deep breath as she finished talking, crying even more hysterically.

"Azaroth?" Lilah questioned joining the boys by the door. "What's going on?" She gasped seeing the battered baby, "What happened!"
"Synne, you're going to stay with Lilah. Lilah, take care of her. Don't go outside, no matter what you hear DON'T, and stay away from the doors and windows. Valzar, go and get Salazar and Godric, tell them to meet us at Ro's. Arcanon, Saber, with me," he barked the orders without hesitation his mind already racing trying to anticipate what may await him at Rowena's home and how to deal with it...
Valzar nodded and didn't wait to be told again. He took off towards the wizards' home.
After the baby was safely off, Azaroth strengthened the barriers around the house and locked them. Only those of his blood would be able to undo this seal. "Stay close," he instructed the teenagers as the raced towards Ro's. He didn't like the odds of their weapons against magic, but they were the best he had.

Synne sobbed and clung to Lilah as her father and brothers left.
Ro's home was in absolute shambles but no one was there.
Sal and Godric were sitting at home, each sipping a cup of tea and reading a book.
-----------------------------------------------
Helga, Celie and Voldemort brought their victims into a cave set up for this purpose and conjured roped before waking both of them.
Ro glared as she came through but paled when she saw her son there as well "Erian... what?"
"Sorry mom... I think Synne's safe though..."
Ro grimaced, dreading what was going to happen to her little boy.
Celie grinned "no talking to my toy!" and sent the cruciatus curse at Erian grinning as he began to scream.

Valzar ran as quickly as his little legs could carry him to the wizards' home, banging on the door once he got there. "Hello! Please open the door! Hurry!"
********
Azaroth was silent as he looked at the remains of what was once Rowena's home.
"Woah..." Saber said in shock. "What could have happened here?"
"And where's Erian?" Arcanon asked quietly. "And Ro?"
"I don't know..."

Godric stood up in alarm and opened the door, glancing in confusion at the child at their door. "Yes? Who are you?"
----------------------------------
Ro struggled against the ropes binding her as her son writhered in pain "Stop it!"
Helga smiled "Aww Rowena don't worry... your turn is coming.." and turn a cruciatus on Rowena.

"Synne's hurt - something's wrong at Rowena's, there's bad witches, my father needs your help!" Valzar blurted out as quickly as he could.
*******
Arcanon paced restlessly, "What are we going to do?"
"Be silent," Azaroth ordered silently, an order nonetheless. He closed his eyes and concentrated. He could feel the energies of the world, he tapped into them to use his powers. He was now going to try to use them to track Ro. Her energy force had always seemed unique to him, he would recognize it anywhere. He just needed to find it now. He inhaled sharply, sensing it, some distance away but- he stiffened as a wave of intense pain rushed over him. "Underground..." he managed, gasping as he reluctantly broke off the connection. "She's underground - she's in pain..."

Godric paled "Sal come quickly!"
Salazar walked over, glancing at Val "Whats wrong."
"Ro's in trouble and Synne's hurt. What about Erian?" He asked turning back to Valzar.
Salazar's face darkened "Where is your father now?" already gathering potions to bring.
------------------------------------------------
Celie finished cursing Erian and watched the pant, trying to catch his breath.
Helga also finished and grinned maniacally at Ro "Time for one of you favorite activities Ro..."
Ro glared but was extremely worried about what was going to happen. She just wanted to find a way for Erian to get away. As Helga approached her eyes widened and she started to struggle and scream once more
Erian was petrified and forced to watch what was happening to his mother. He tried to close his eyes but Celie would force him to open them again
"Oh no little toy... you have to watch what kind of a woman your mommy is.."

"He went to Rowena's house," Valzar answered quickly.
****************
"Come on, Sal..." Azaroth growled as he tried to get a better fix on the energy. At the moment he wasn't even sure which direction they were in. He felt such darkness, the permeation of evil that tainted the very earth, he felt his son's terror...and Ro's fear and pain. "Where is he!"

Sal nodded "Lets go... I have everything I think we'll need... hopefully we won't actually need to use most of it."
They made there way quickly to Ro's house and Godric gaped at the damage "What happened?"
Sal walked over to Az "What do you know and where is my niece and nephew?"

"Synne's hurt, but safe. Whoever it was has Erian and Ro...they're in pain, somewhere underground. The ones that hold them reek of the darkest powers," Azaroth answered, sparing a quick glance to make sure Valzar was unharmed.

Sal nodded and pulled one of Ro's mirrors over.. casting a quick scrying spell and peering in. His face darkened then slacked into shock
Godric looked over nervously "Do you see them? Can you see where they are?"
Sal nodded "In a cave... not too far from here. Helga's there...... and Celie."
Godric blinked "Celie... as in Celie is also a prisoner?"
Sal shook his head and looked at Godric in the eye "As in Celie is the one torturing Erian along with that boyfriend of hers Voldemort."
Godric paled and shook his head "No...."
Sal sighed "Godric why don't you go home and wait there. It might be best..."
Godric glared "No I'm coming with you and we should go now before anything else happens!"
Sal sighed again and nodded.. giving Az a look that said he needed to tell him more... without the others hearing.

"Godric, my older sons have limited experience with magic wielders and Helga seems to have a thing against my family, is there something you can do to help safe guard them?" Azaroth asked quietly siezing the opportunity to talk alone with Sal and make sure Arcanon and Saber would be as well protected as possible.

Godric nodded and glanced at the boys "I can make you guys some protection amulets that will shield you from any offensive magic" Handing them each one to wear
Sal walked next to Az and quietly spoke to him "I just want you to be prepared... I saw what Helga was doing to Ro. She was well.... forcing Ro." Unable to think of a politer way to put that. "Erian is being forced to watch. They both look pretty beat up."
---------------------------------------------
Erian cringed at his mothers screams and fidgeted, trying to get away.
Celie frowned "Well little toy if you don't want to watch that badly then let me assist you with that" And sliced down his face across his eyes, grinning at his screams.
Voldemort frowned at the noise "He's too noisy. And his wings keep hitting me."
Celie grinned "I can take care of that" And proceeded to snap his wings and cast Silencio on him, watching him writhe around in silent agony.
Voldemort frowned again "Not enough..." and charmed one of the ropes of wrap around his neck, slowly tightening.
