Captive
My eyes opened for me to see the vampires. Three men and a woman standing in front of us pale as ice, the other vampires were in their knees just like me and we all had handcuffs. I counted a total of fifteen vampires captured, the Shadows had never captured this many vampires in one day, and never mind that, I had never been captured until today. "So Matthew, how does it feel to finally catch your problem causer?", I said to the man next to the gorgeous woman; so gorgeous it was pleasant to look at her pale face, her red lips, and long black slightly curled hair. The man called Matthew was tall and had a fierce looking face that matched his body-guard body. "Oh, so you must be Andrew; that if I'm glad I caught the nasty vampires who made many others remain not captured? Of course I am," he answered with a superior looking way of not looking me in the eyes when talking. "Listen up," his voice raised as Matthew eyed the line of vampires from edge to edge, "there are fifteen of you, after getting rid of the useless ones you will be less than five; so Javier, should we begin?"
Matthew and Javier, the man standing next to him, where starting from the farthest end inspecting each of us and saying things I couldn't quite hear. After some seconds Matthew would say something and then the currently inspected vampire was pulled by the handcuffs into a small metal door or they would be torn apart right on the spot. Nine vampires had been torn apart, while only two had been taken through the door by the weak handcuffs. The handcuffs were only part of the whole captive ambience, a vampire could easily break them, but they were so scared of Matthew they wouldn't even think of doing it. I looked around the room until I set my eyes on the girl; she was also looking at me with a serious look that eventually turned into a mutual smile from both of us. Then a figure came closer, Matthew was only three people away from me and I could now hear them clearly. "He can see the dreams of a sleeping person," said Javier. "Useless, tear him apart Charlie," said Matthew as he turned to the other vampire standing with them. Two people away, "He can silent every noise in a six meter radius," said Javier. "Hmm, he can be useful someday, take him," said Matthew as the man named Charlie took him to the metal door. So after a while of rethinking the situation I figured out what was happening, the Shadows where looking for vampires with useful abilities and Javier's ability was to know if vampires had abilities and what would them be, so they captured a bunch of vampires and stayed with the ones they wanted. The next person had no abilities and was quickly torn apart and then it was my turn with the ability radar. "No need to tell me Javier, I quite know what Andrew can do, you will be a great addition to the Shadows," said Matthew looking at me. I rapidly broke the chain that held the handcuffs together and hit them with my shoulder as good as I could. "I don't want to be your addition," I shouted at Matthew as I threw Javier to the wall using my hand. Charlie was in the floor beginning to stand up. Matthew was quicker than my eyes and when I turned he was already grabbing my neck with his hand and then he dropped me with all his strength towards the floor. "Tear him apart! It's not worth it," he said as Javier and Charlie came. "Stop it! Don't kill him!" shouted the girl as she stepped between us. "Step back Aria this isn't a place for maintaining a rebel!" answered Matthew angrily.
"Fine, then I'll maintain him," said Aria. "Do as you wish, he is now your responsibility!" said Matthew as he calmed down fast. I was shocked on why did she do that, and how did she convinced Matthew so easily.
