HELLO. This is another kidnapping story, but this isn't where Will kidnaps Tessa. This is story where Mortmain kidnaps them all and Magnus decides to save them. There will be Wessa, Jessa and the other couples. Enjoy!
None of them had parents. Well, they do. They must have because they knew Mortmain wasn't their father. Still, they never knew their parents nor would they. They would be always under Mortmain's control. That's why Charlotte and Henry, being the oldest, acted like their parents. Mortmain made the men do his dirty work, but Henry always insisted on taking the hardest task to spare the other boys the pain. Mortmain quite enjoyed sex and he used the women as sex toys. Charlotte made sure the she was Mortmain's favorite to make sure the girls wouldn't get scarred and she was Mortmain's favorite. But sometimes Mortmain would grow tired of Charlotte and request one of the others girls. All the girls had lost their virginity to Mortmain. Sometimes Mortmain would know what Henry was up to by taking the hard tasks instead of the others and he'd insist that anyone but Henry do the task. He exactly knew how to pain them.
They had been kidnapped by Mortmain when they were just babies so they could never remember anything from their home or family. She and Henry were the first ones to get kidnapped. Five years later, Mortmain brought Jem and Will and less than a month later came Tessa and Sophie. They had grown up together with no family, but each other. That was family.
But who knew everything would change?
Mortmain had walked inside their quarters. It was a huge room where the boys and girls hanged out (when not doing Mortmain's bidding). The room had two doors on each side of the room. The left one led to the boys' sleep quarters while the other door led to the girls' sleep quarters. Everyone froze even Tessa who had been reading. You could tell Mortmain had entered the room by his evil presence or maybe he just wore too much perfume. Whoever had been sitting down stood up. It was an insult to not stand when Mortmain enters the room. Tessa had learned that when she was six when she had been too busy reading to notice Mortmain had entered. He had pulled her hair hard for that.
"Master Mortmain," said Charlotte, bowing. Mortmain had always recognized her as the leader of the small group so she acted as one.
"Charlotte," he nodded towards her. His eyes scanned the room for any insults, but everyone was standing and was only looking at him with no expression on their faces. Like he wanted. "I have an announcement." The teenagers had to hold back their surprise expressions. Mortmain never made announcements. "I am going on a business trip and I will be leaving Magnus Bane in charge." He paused. This was when you were allowed to ask questions.
Tessa decided to speak. "Master Mortmain?" she addressed him, her voice trembling.
"Yes Theresa?" Mortmain was the only one who called her by her full name. He must know her last name too, but he never told them their family names or they would begin searching for their families.
"May I ask a question?" He nodded. "Who is Magnus Bane?"
Mortmain smiled cruelly. "Magnus Bane is a friend of mine. You will all treat him with the same obedience you treat me. He is free to do with you whatever he wants as long as he does not kill you." His eyes landed on Sophie and his smile turned to a scowl. "On no condition are you allowed to resist or disobey him, understood?" Sophie nodded quickly, fear masking her face. Mortmain did not mind the expression of fear. It showed he had power over them.
"I'm counting on you Charlotte to remind them this. Don't disappoint me or I won't be so kind in bed like usual when I come back."
That sent a shiver down Charlotte's spine. "Yes Master Mortmain. I will not disappoint."
Mortmain smiled a cold smile at her then to the rest in the room. "If you any of you disappoint me by showing rude manners to Magnus Bane, I will make you regret that Magnus Bane ever left you."
To prove his point, Mortmain turned to Sophie and pulled her by the waist. He fingered the scar on her face. Sophie felt that her body was numb as her eyes -filled with fear- stared back at Mortmain's cruel and unfeeling eyes. He let her go and walked to the door.
"Goodbye children."
Mortmain reminds of President Snow. Maybe because I wrote this while listening to the trailers of Hunger Games. Yeah, I'm weird. Anyway, I'm excited for this story! So please review and tell me yours thoughts! Byee.
