Patricia POV

I followed Denby out into the woods. I feel as if we've been walking for ages, before we stop near a dirt road. We stand for a few minutes, me dying to know what the heck was about to happen, and Denby taking out her phone to check the time every five seconds.

I look to the left to see the headlights of a car.

"Perfect timing." Denby whispers, smiling as the car stops in front of us.

"I'm glad you made it." She says to the driver as we walk to the side of the car.

And of course the car was your stereotypical sketchy black van. Perfect, just where I wanted to be.

"You owe me for this." I hear a woman's voice from inside the car.

Oh no, not her.

"Actually, I do believe that this is you repaying me for helping you after Victor discovered what you were up to, Vera."

"I don't think you understand exactly how much of a handful Patricia can be." Vera says, stepping out of the car.

"Aw, you didn't miss me?" I mock. Even though Vera was awful I prefer her over Denby, Vera didn't scare me one bit.

"What did I say about being quiet? Do you want Eddie to join you and Vera?" Denby asks, glaring at me.

I stay quiet. I hate this new power they had over me. They knew I cared about Eddie and didn't hesitate to use my feelings against me.

"Smart girl." Vera smiles.

"Don't underestimate her, and don't be soft on her. Remember how she escaped Rufus? That is not going to happen again. Remember, you are the master, she is the dog." Denby commands.

I knew what she was doing, she knew I wasn't scared of Vera, but she wanted me to be. Therefore, she's going to do everything in her power to make sure Vera doesn't get soft toward me.

"Of course." Vera smiles.

"Hit her." Denby barks at Vera.

"Why?" Vera asks, startled by the sudden aggressiveness.

"I want you to prove to her and to me that you are not afraid to harm her."

Vera shifts her gaze toward me, and for a moment I'm almost positive she won't do it, but next thing I know I am on the ground.

That really hurt, even more than when Denby hit me at the Gatehouse. I put my hand to my cheek and realize that I'm bleeding, she must be wearing rings that scratched my face when she hit me.

Vera looks at Denby, almost as if she was looking for some kind of praise.

"Perfect. I think you'll do just fine, I'll call you tomorrow morning to see how you're holding up." Denby says walking away.

"Well, looks like it's just you and me now. Get in the van."

Eddie POV

"We need to get back, now." I say worriedly. Who knows what Denby has done to Patricia?

"Lets go." Fabian nodded.

We all take off running towards the exit.

"I'll call a cab." KT says taking out her phone.

I ignore her and continue to run towards our school, it was only a couple blocks away.

"Eddie!" KT whines, clearly not wanting to run back.

"Come on!" Fabian says dragging her along.

-Line Break that never seems to work for me-

We finally make it back as I begin to run even faster towards the Gatehouse

"Eddie wait! Eddie stop!" Fabian yells grabbing my arm.

"What?" I demand.

"It won't do Patricia any good if Denby catches you too. We need a plan." Fabian explains calmly.

"Why don't we just-"

"Look! It's Denby!" KT cuts me off.

We quickly shuffle behind the edge of the building, poking our heads out to see.

She's walking into the Gatehouse with Victor.

"No. Patricia is in there! We can't let Victor get to her!" I panic.

"Eddie, what are we supposed to do? We'll sit here and listen to them talk, they'll probably discuss what to do with Patricia, if Victor even knows she's missing. Once we know where in there Patricia is, we come up with a diversion and save Patricia." Fabian says.

"Fine, but I don't like it!" I sigh.

Wow. That got loooong haha. I'm not very happy with everything that happened in Eddie's POV, but it had to happen so sorry! I'm absolutely loving all of your reviews! Let me know what you think of this whole Vera thing! I hope it wasn't too disappointing:/ I'll try to update again tomorrow! Maybe, just possibly one more tonight, but probably not. 5 More reviews? Thanks for reading!
