Chapter 4
After a few moments of chi eating and super-charged touches the man melted like butter in the succubi's hands confessing that he was told to spike my drink with some unknown liquid in the name of my family. The blonde who's name is Tamsin beat the crap out of the puny bar tender then was put in hand-cuffs by Dyson and taken to the light fae compound, followed by the van carrying me in my deteriorating form. The Fae EMT's were working vigorously trying to get me breathing again. all the while Lauren was analyzing the few drops of mystery liquid that were left trying to figure out what exactly was given to me and what could be done to reverse its effects.
"what are they doing to her Lauren?" Bo said anxiosly as the doctor held a tube in my mouth.
"Skylars airways are bleeding, and whatever was in her drink is blocking her abilities. She can't heal on her own so we have to help her." Lauren said taking over my care.
I woke only seconds later coughing up blood, trying as hard as I could to break away from my, as I thought captures. But every ounce of strength had left me the moment I collapsed on the hard floor of the Dahl. I would have realized by then that I was being helped instead of held but my wavering vision refused to bring anything into focus.
"Wait! Wait! Wait!" Bo yelled stopping the syringe that was headed for my left arm. "I can calm her down, she knows me, by scent."
"you have thirty seconds, we don't know what this stuff is or what it'll do to her, how it'll make her react." A small woman said who was keeping ready with the syringe.
At first Bo just tried to hold my hand and do her mood rearranging trick but that had little to no effect. So seeing as it was her addictive scent that first caught my attention, Bo set her hands on my cheek forcing me to stay still. Keeping with the plan she brushed her fingers delicately along my blood covered lips and chin. immediately my body calmed and my breathing slowed back to normal. Assured by the medics around her Bo tried to take a step back to let them take me into the compound, but I took her hand in mine and refused to let go.
"Don't leave me" were the last forced words that slipped my lips before I fell back into a dreamless sleep.
As the medical workers rushed me to a more sanitary and equiped place to keep me Bo just stood there looking at Lauren with worried eyes.
"what exactly is happening to her?" she asked bringing Laurens attention away from her tablet.
"It looks like a severe allergic reaction, im still looking for what it could be but it's not very easy."
"is there anything I can do?"
"go help Dyson and Tamsin find who did this, there's not much you can do here" Lauren said looking Bo in her deep brown eyes.
"you're definitely right about that. Call me when there's a change." Bo said as she hugged Lauren.
After getting a much appreciated kiss from Bo Lauren made her way the compounds medical center. The amount of love Bo showed for this girl made Lauren want to do anything she could to make her better. As the automatic doors slid open a grizzly scene unfolded, at least 7 workers were knocked unconscious and the room was torn apart. Lauren rushed around the room peeling back curtain after curtain of empty beds in an effort to hopefully find me. But besides the 7 sprawled out body's laying on the floor the room was empty, someone had taken me.
In another part of town I was being carried into an assumed abandoned facility where a elegantly dressed woman was waiting for me. Upon reaching her the thick muscled man followed the woman into an empty room made completely of concrete. There was a single metal chair bolted to the ground near the back wall and in the middle was a set of chains that dangled only a few feet from the floor.
"set her in the chair and close the locks, don't want her to escape." The slim dark-haired woman said in a nonchalant tone.
The man sat me gently into the small chair closing the metal restraints on the arms of the chair over my wrists, then did the same with my ankles. After a few moments of looking at me he left the room bringing back in a bucket of water, with no hesitation he dumped it over my head causing me to wake immediately. Breathing harder than before I searched the room for someone I might know but came up with nothing.
"who are you?" I asked with a weakened tone.
"My name is Bryn im your grandmother, It's nice to finally meet you sweety." She said with a half-hearted grin. "oh and this is Thor, his parents were big fans of the god, but I feel it fits him, I mean he's huge." The woman said.
"let me go." I flatly said.
"oh no-no no, not until you tell me what you know Skylar."
"know about what?"
"about your parents, about how they died."
"I don't know anything, and if I did I sure as hell wouldn't tell you." I said leaning forward.
In return to my remark I got a swift slap to the face, it stung for a few second but other than that it just pissed me off.
"you hit like a bitch." I said smiling.
"well he doesn't." She said stepping aside for the brick wall of a man to be in my vision.
"you could be wrong." I said laughing.
Thor looked back for permission I assume and got a nod of agreement, and what happened next I was prepared for. The swing of a right arm, the thud when the mans fist hit me in the middle of my face, then the bleeding nose and searing pain. I have experienced fights in my life though most of them were my fault but this takes the cake, it hurt like hell. And the popping noise mt nose made, it makes things worse to hear your own body react like that.
"now Darling that could have been avoided if you would have just talked like I asked you to. Now tell me what you know about my murdered children." She said leaning into my face.
"no" I said leaning in close enough to kiss her.
"THOR!" she screamed as she turned on her heals to face him. "make her talk." was all she said before exiting the room.
"ohh this is gonna be fun." The man said popping his knuckles.
The next blow landed right below my cheekbone overlapping cutting a gash on my bottom lip causing more blood to run down my face. This repeated blows to the face continued for the next ten minutes, finishing each hit with four simple words "what do you know?", but I refused to talk. I didn't know these people or why the hell they came to me for information. All I got was a letter for crying out loud, though it did give me a little info I know the dark did it and that it ended in a fiery explosion.
"Well she lasted longer than I thought" Thor said rubbing his blood covered knuckles.
"Put her in the chains, lets see how she handles without support." Bryn said walking back into the room.
Picking my limp body up Thor carried me to the middle of the room setting me on the ground then took my leather jacket and plain white t-shirt off. For some unknown reason they wanted me to have a nearly bare torso, well that is except for my bra. He then proceeded to stand me up and slip my hands into the metal cuffs at the end of the rusty old chains. My feet barely touched the ground so every inch of me was stretched out to the point of pain. Bryn walked up to me with a white cloth and began to wipe the blood off my beaten and bruised face. By the time she was done I began to wake and just smelling her near was enough to set me off. I growled lunging at her face with teeth bared and eyes reddened.
"Oh looks like you need another dose sweet heart. Thor be a dear and fetch some more monkshood."
"where's my shirt?" I asked a little bit angry.
"over on the chair we wouldn't want to ruin them completely." She said cocking her head to the side. "oh and Thor get the kit as well." she yelled just as he walked through the door way.
"how am I gonna talk after you give that crap, assuming that it's what your buddy slipped into my drink." I said glaring at the back of Bryn head as she walked over to Thor.
"well I had him put much more than needed in your drink, it was pushing the limits of deadly. I needed the reaction I got so I could have you taken." She said filling the syringe. "but this amount will only weaken you, you will lose your abilities so that my dear means no healing, and no healing means more fun for me and my friend here."
As she neared me with the needle I tried to rip the chains from the ceiling using my growing strength but it was of no use I was as weak as a human at this point. Bryn roughly grabbed my jaw and forced my face to the side sticking the long needle into the side of my neck. As the plundger was pushed down the feeling of fire quickly spread through my veins causing me to scream in pain. The monkshood effected me immediately I could literally feel my body getting weaker by the second and all my muscles felt like they were being shredded.
"Thor will you set up the table and turn on the burner I need to go get some less expensive clothes on, its gonna get messy."
Twenty minutes later as she walked through the doorway wearing black tennishoes, black leather pants and a red tank top. I was sweating uncontrollably and my vision was unfocused so it was hard to tell when the first blow would come, or in what form it would take.
snapping her fingers in front of my face Bryn spoke. "look at this. It's a red-hot piece of metal that's gonna blister those pretty little stomach muscles if you don't speak up." She said waving a red-hot fire poker only inches from the skin right above my belly button.
I responded with a breathy chuckle and a smile, im not gonna break even if it breaks my bones. My wounds will heal but whatever this woman wants with what little information I have can't be good. I mean think about it she claims to be my grandmother and then sits there and tortures me, how much good can there be in her.
"alright its your skin." she said holding fire poker to my skin.
The resulting sizzle and pop that sounded in my ears made me want to puke, not to mention the smell. I screamed as she just sat there looking at me, watching the steam rise from my skin. Only after I started to bleed, profusely, did she remove it and the skin it touched.
"hmm we should try shock next, hand me the cattle prod will you." she said flipping her hair from her face.
"you know this is bullshit right? I turned fae what? 2 days ago? now look I'm chained up and being tortured for giggles."
"now for laughs sweety for informatio-"
"Information? why the hell would I know how my parents died I was given away at one year old?"
Bryn just sat there looking at me for a second tilting her head to the side, don't know if she's thinking about letting me go. What ever it was a sense of recognition came to her face, causing her to slip on a pair of black leather gloves. Bryn closed her eyes for the slightest of moments and took in a long breath, letting it out slowly. She then proceeded to put her hair into a ponytail and walk over to me.
"what are you doing?"
"you'll see." she said putting a hand on either side of my face and as soon as she put them there I felt a wave over me, causing goosebumps to rise all over my body.
I really hope she's not about to do what I think she is...
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" I screamed trying to pull my face from her grasp.
It was of no use Bryn had already begun and I was getting even weaker by the second. As the particle filled mist escaped my mouth a red tint filled the air within it, and it was like my body was floating. This went on for about thirty more seconds, im extremely surprized I wasn't drained by the time she stopped. And after Bryn did stop feeding on me all I wanted to do was, well do what ever the evil bitch asked, like a dog and its owner.
"okay now Skylar im gonna let you on the ground, you aren't going to run are you?" She said unclasping the cuff of my right restraint.
"nope." I said popping the p.
I slumped to the floor when Bryn undid my other hand, and just laiyed on the dusty floor. My head was swimming, my body ached, my skin was crawling and I was weakened beyond all belief. Even in that state all I wanted to do was make my supposed grandmother happy, even at my expense.
"So how did your mother die?" she said helping me sit up.
As she sat on her tip toes I leaned in to whisper in her ear, Bryn met me half way and pulled her hair on her right side behind her ear.
"I won't tell." I said smiling as my head bobbed back and forth.
"you little bitch! you will tell me how they died and you will do it no!" she yelled.
After falling on my back Bryn picked my up by my neck, every bit of strength she had taken from me was in her, and man did it show. Her eyes glowed blood-red and the sharpness of her teeth and claws gave way to the extent of how truly mad she was. And honestly I didn't give a crap, by now her high was wearing off and so was the escape from the searing pain that flowed through my veins.
"If you tell me nothing you will die." Bryn said claws beginning to puncture the skin just below the left side of my ribs.
Though she held me up by my throat I did not feel deprived of breath but what I did feel was four clawed fingers piercing my skin. I made an effort to stop Bryns hand from going any further but she was strong and I was far from it. After 3 seconds of her fingers nearly an inch and a half in my stomach I begun to cry, and yell. I was moments from death and I very well knew it, but I wasn't afraid. No I was guilty, I never said goodbye to my parents, or brother, or even the new wonderful people who I've recently met.
As unconsciousness met me with increasing speed I made sure to look my maker dead in the eyes, make her see that she was taking her relatives life. My ears started to ring and black speckled my vision as blood pooled at my feet. I will not break. No. I will keep my shield up and carry on, even though it may or may not be in this world I will stay strong.
