I actually didn't get too much feedback from the last chapter. If this continues, I might end up scraping the story. But we'll see what you think of this chapter.

Arrow Cave

Oliver just laid against a table, processing what just happened.

"Oliver?" Felicity asked worried.

"You okay man?" John asked.

"A man kidnapped my sister because of me." Oliver said.

"Hey man, it's not your fault." John said, trying to make his friend feel better.

"Yes it is. If I hadn't put on that hood, Thea would be safe and sound."

"There's nothing you can do to change that. But you can work to make sure she returns well and alive."

Oliver got up and turned to Felicity.

"Do you have anything for Thea?" he asked.

"Well, I did consider tracking him to wherever he was holding her. But after what he said about trying to find her..."

"Be as discreet as humanly possible." Oliver ordered. "I don't want to risk her life anymore than I have to."

"But about your mom?" John pointed out.

"I called her and told her Thea's traveling with a friend." Oliver stated.

"And what about his demands?"

Oliver took a moment before speaking. "I'll have to play ball for now. But I won't do anything more than was is completely necessary."

John sighed. "I hope you're right."

Docks

The next night, the gun deal Marcus was referring to was beginning.

"You got the dough?" one of the thugs asked.

The other group opened a briefcase to reveal stacks of bills in it.

"Now where's the guns?"

One of the thugs pulled out a machine gun, and was about to hand it off, until an arrow hit his hand.

"It's the vigilante!" one of the thugs cried, while he and the rest pulled out guns and started firing at Oliver.

Oliver began to run, while firing arrows at the thugs, and before too long, they were all on the ground unconscious.

Oliver then picked up the cases full of money and guns, and left the scene.

Rooftop

Marcus was standing on a rooftop, doing nothing but looking at his phone and starting into the city. Until he heard two thuds come from behind him. He turned around to see Oliver dropping the cases with the guns and the money.

"You have what you want, now let my sister go." Oliver demanded.

Marcus went to inspect the two cases and when he was done, he stood up and faced Oliver to reply with.

"Not just yet."

"I got you..." Oliver began, extremely pissed off.

"I said that if you got me the money and guns, I'd make sure Thea doesn't starve and I'd give you a gift. I didn't say a thing about letting her go just yet."

"I am going to..." Oliver began to threaten, getting closer to Marcus.

"Touch me, and Thea will regret it." Marcus shot back, causing Oliver to stand down. "Good boy. As for your gift." Marcus then pulled out a laptop. "With this, you'll be able to keep an eye of Thea from her predicament." Oliver's eyes widened at this revelation. "But don't try to have miss blonde trace it, I'm way ahead of you there." Marcus then put the laptop in Oliver's hands. "We'll talk more later."

Marcus concluded, taking the cases of guns and money and walking away.

Arrow Cave

The moment Oliver arrived, he went straight to the table, and opened the laptop to see his little sister in a poorly light room.

"How did you get that?" Felicity asked, seeing the video stream.

"Marcus gave it to me." Oliver replied. "He's refusing to release Thea until I do more of his 'chores' for him."

"And you're just going to submit?" John asked.

"No. But I can't be the reason Thea dies either." Oliver stated.

"I could try to trace the signal." Felicity suggested.

"No. Marcus already said he made so contingency. But did you find anything new?"

"Um..." Felicity stuttered.

"I'll take that as a no."

Unknown

Thea was laying back in the corner of whatever room he was holding her in. Tear stains showed on her cheeks, and she was shaking due to the cold and her fear.

She then heard a door open, and saw the man who kidnapped her walk in with a tray of food.

"Hey." Marcus began. "Sorry if you're feeling a little uncomfortable, but I got some food for you."

He then put the tray in front of Thea.

"Why are you doing this?" Thea asked fearfully.

Marcus sighed. "I need your brother's help. I want revenge on certain douche, but I can't do it without him."

Thea scoffed. "Oliver's not exactly known for being able to help in those matters."

Marcus smiled as he got closer to Thea.

"Oh you poor stupid little girl. You really have no idea who he really is do you?"

Thea tried to lean back further into her space, but Marcus kept leaning towards her.

She then did the only other thing that came to mind. She scratched the side of his face with her nails, and ran to the door.

But before she could make it, he grabbed her arm and threw her into the wall.

He then raised his hand and slapped her across the face harder than anything she has ever experienced.

Thea held the side of her cheek in pain, and tears were once again forming in her eyes. Even more so when Marcus put his hand around her throat, and pushed her against the wall.

His face was then right besides her, and he spoke.

"I'm actually find it kinda hot what you just did."

Fear ran throughout her entire body.

"You're sick." she stated.

He then put his nose against he cheek and smelled it.

"Probably." he replied, letting her go. "If I were you, I'd eat. Especially considering that you might not eat for awhile."

Marcus then turned around and left the girl alone in her prison.

And that's all folks. Review, fav, follow, I always appreciate the support, and I love seeing what people think.
