Andre was still as stone, not believing what Pain was saying to him.
"you can't mean that...Pain why won't you tell me what happened, this isn't...this can't be right."
Andre wanted to know desperately who did this and why pain was pushing him away like this. Something was wrong and it wasn't just the distressed state pain or Andre was in.

Pain was quiet, trying to contain the sobs."Its your fault!" He shouted now. Of course he didn't mean that, he never blamed or thought this was Andres fault, but the threats that were made to him concerning Andre just got to him."I don't love you, your not good for me so just.leave you cant even protect me properly....just leave me alone and go find someone else!!" He added, sitting up and actually pushed Andre away."Just go!!" He screamed.

Andre felt he went numb in that moment. He stared on, face pale as Pain shoved him away still screaming at him. He backed off, his mind feeling to fall apart as his chest felt it had been ripped open. He slowly lost any expression in his face, but his eyes looked so wounded as he moved towards the door. He left without a word, closing the door calmly before just running for his house. He slammed doors then, locking himself up in his house. The wolf felt as if his heart had been ripped out of his chest, the feeling new and terrifying to him. He hadnt even been home long before drinking again, not caring if he had night terrors or became paranoid. He wanted to forget.

Pains heart broke even more at the.expression and he just laid.back down, crying his.eyes out. He cried himself to sleep before finally getting up and headed to the bathroom. He showered, washing away the.filth.that the.Ashwoods.have left.on him before finding.clean.cloths to wear. He collasped.on his.bed, not even bothering to.eat.

Two days went by and Pain hadn't spoken to anyone and ignored any phone calls. He had.lost about 10 pounds from those several days of being held captive and now his body and mind were barely functioning.

Andre kept himself locked up for several days, never stepping foot out of his house. Lights were never on and sometimes late at night one could hear crying or screaming, but not much else came from the house. The only one insane enough to go see him was Dahlia. She had driven out to the house and had her own key to get inside.

She found Andre to be a mess, curled up in bed with various whiskey bottles all over the room. She tried to get him cleaned up some, but he snapped his jaws or tried to scratch her if she got too close. His eyes looked wild and afraid and full of hurt. She didn't know what to do about this, choosing to leave him alone. She called Jack, thinking the alpha might know what's wrong with her cousin before starting to head towards pain's apartment. She kept track to make sure she had the right address before knocking on the door. She didn't know anything of what was going on between the two or just what happened to pain when he vanished.

Jack heard the phone go off and headed to the house where Dahlia had told him Andre was at. He had a feeling he knew what was going on since he had recently taken a hunter who was a Ashewood into custody and the hunter told Jack what had happened. He had taken this man in today and when Dahlia called him, he knew exactly what was going on now. He walked into the house, finding Andre."Andre." He said.

Pain was laying in bed, curled up and was clearly not functioning. He heard the door but ignored it, trekking whoever he was to go away

Andre was still curled up in bed. One arm hanging over the side with a near empty bottle of vodka in his hand. He was starting to run out of booze, the wolf having stayed drunk for the most part. He didn't shift too much at hearing jack walk in, only sitting up when his name was called. He took a swig from the bottle, movements staggered and wobbly. He had an empty look in his eyes as he somewhat focused on Jack.
"Go...g'out..."
He fell back onto the bed then, just staring at the ceiling.

Dahlia knocked a few more times, feeling someone was inside just not answering.
"Pain darling? It's Dahlia, Ive brought you something."
She had actually brought some food over, hoping to sit down and talk with Pain. She ended up just huffing at being ignored, using magic to pick the lock. She let herself inside, looking around for pain.
"Sweetie you here? We're all worried..."

"Mmm most wolves that have lost their mate are filled with rage, but alcohol is first." He said and shook his head, sitting down. He wanted to talk to Andre first before really revealing everything that had happened. "Did Pain even tell you everything that has happened?" He asked.

Pain ignored Dahlia, but did look up when he heard the door open. He said nothing though, sniffling and curled up under the bed. Pain was more skin and bones now, he had dark circles under his eyes and their was pain and sorrow in his eyes.

Andre didn't make much noise or respond to what jack said. He stared at the ceiling still, eyes misty and out of focus until Pain's name was mentioned. He sat up then, the motion s bit fast. He had to steady himself some, a hand going to run through his hair.
"No, wouldn't let me help...pushed me out, said he didn't love me..."
Tears full of hurt and some anger started to bubble up in his eyes then. Some even started to roll down his face. He hugged himself then, curling over as he looked defenseless and meek, a look not suiting him in the slightest.

Dahlia stood still for a moment when she saw Pain,not expecting to find a once bright and happy man so...destroyed. She got down on her knees beside him, reaching s hand out to get some of the hair out of the wolf's face.
"Sweetie what happened to you..."
It broke her heart to see him like this, eyes losing their madness and looking sad. She couldn't believe this was Pain before her, though he looked to be a mere shell of himself now.

It was honestly a sad look that Andre gave him, his eyes soften some and he sigh. Maybe he should just tell him. "Andre......something terrible happen to Pain when he was missing.....your family had kidnapped him, he was raped, tortured, beatened and threatened. I captured one of your fellow family members, the guy wouldn't talk so I had Hunter scurry around in his mind and he found all that information." He said.

Pain flinched when she touched him. He looked up at her."Alot....." he croaked out softly.

Andre listened, his mind blurred and wanting to shut down from everything. He was able to latch onto bits and pieces, looking up at Jack when he explained what his family did to his mate. Rage coated his face and eyes then, the wolf nearly smashing and spilling the vodka bottle as he forced himself to his feet.
"bring me the bastard...I'll rip his heart out and eat it before his eyes! You don't fuck with my mate!"
He was screaming and slurring some of his words as he started to walk towards his bedroom door.

Dahlia watched pain flinch away, making her stand. She wanted to hold and keep the wolf safe, the only way she knew was by motherly comfort. She listened to the choked words, eyes sad and wanting to help.
"Want to tell me sweetie? We can get you cleaned up while you tell dahlia who hurt you like this."
Her voice was soft and fully of worry and care. This shouldn't be happening.

Jack stood up and watched the other."I'll take you to him." He said and walked out with the other. Hunter was there with the man in question who was tied up. Jack made sure Andre was restraint."Andre you can ask him question, but no killing, least not yet." Grew said.

His eyes shone with sadness."I don't want to...." he whispered. Already the silver he had injected was starting to sink in. Their was a needle laying on the floor near Dahlias feet.

Andre threw some clothes on s bit in a sloppy manner but he didn't care. He was starting to sober up some as he followed Jack.upon seeing a member of the Ashwood family, he snarled and looked ready to lunge at him. The Ashwood hunter was lucky Andre was restrained, the wolf wanting the man dead as he saw red.
"Why did you take him! I already killed the head of the family, just leave us alone! Tell me why you took him and who hurt him!"
He was shouting stein, fighting his restraints as pure rage was starting to take over.

Dahlia understood Pain didn't want to talk, and she wouldn't force him. What she would do was get him cleansed up. As she stepped closer again she heard the sound of glass breaking, making her look down to a needle on the floor. She picked it up with confused eyes before turning white as a ghost. She could see a little bit of liquid silver left in the needle, making her scramble to grab at Pain's arms. She found where he had injected himself, digging s nail into the spot until it bled.
"You're not dying today sweetie, you're too loved to die like this. Stay with me now, I'll get this poison out of you."
She started to use her magic to draw the silver out of his veins. It wasn't an easy task but she couldn't let Pin die, not like this when Andre loved him so much and knew pain loved her cousin just as much.

The hunter looked frighten at seeing Andre."Your mother gave the order to take him because she wanted you to come back and take your place as head of the family, she believed that the dancer wasn't good for your and the reason why you were behaving this way." He said. Jack looked at the hunter. "Who raped him?" He asked. The hunter looked down."Andres cousins, Mark and Ben." He said.

Pain had hoped that she wouldn't noticed, he didn't even move when she made the injection spot bled. He started feeling the silver leave him, looking away and started crying

Andre was barely able to listen, each word making him feel more rage build up inside of him. He was pulling st those holding him back, the booze in his system just barely making him a little weaker. At the mention of the cousins that had raped his mate, all he saw was red, getting free of his restraints and tackling the hunter.
"Tell me where to find them now! Tell me or I rip your fucking heart out!"
Andre was spiraling out of control, his claws strapping into the hunter's skin as he held him down for answers.

Dahlia heard the crying, focusing on getting the silver out of Pain's blood stream. She was still pulling it, letting it form a small cube in her free hand before she finished. She was healing the deepened cut she made, looking to Pain.
"You have so much to live for Pain. Why would you try to throw it all away like this? You'll be alright now..."
What happened to push this boy to suicide? That was all so insane.
