Chapter four: hostage
I woke up, stiff and tied. I blinked several times, so my eyes could adjust to the darkness of the room. My hands were above my head, shackled to the brick wall. In three inch thick rusted chains. My feet couldn't even reach the ground, even if I tried with my tip toes.
It was useless. I was suspended on the wall, at least three feet from the ground. I was still wearing the clothes that I had on before I got kidnapped. I tried to kick the concrete wall. Thinking I might be strong enough to break a decent size hole into the wall, except, I only ended up with a sore foot, instead.
Several hours passed, as the room's only door opened. Three people came into the room. I notice one was a Dhampir, and the other two were Moroi's. Light filled the room, displaying several, and stainless steel old style operating tables. Several of them had cutting tools, and I was pretty sure they were used on recently decrease.
On the left handed side of the wall, was several old times looking stainless steel square compartments. Several of them were left open, and seemed to go several feet in the wall. They reminded me of refrigerators, used for the dead.
I glared at my captors. With them not even flinching at my uncomfortable glare. They all smiled at me, and it wasn't a friendly smile either. It was a type of smile that told me, I should beg for my life. I just mentally shrugged it off.
"How the hell are you?" I yelled at her. She seemed to be the leader. The other two guys were on each side of the door. "What the fuck, do you want?"
"Patience," the woman Moroi said, as she shook her index finger around.
"No. I want to know now!" I screeched at her.
She shook her head, amused, "Nope. I call the shots. If you don't remember you're the one who, is tied to a wall."
"Why are you doing this?" My question came out like my voice suddenly wanted to go softer.
"Simple," she replied. "You have something that I want. You took him away from me. Now you will pay."
"What did I take away from you?"
"Oh, don't play stupid," she said. "Well you might be stupid, but still don't play the part."
"You're fucking crazy," I yelled.
"No, I'm not. Sadly," she looked off in the distance. She was staring at nothingness. She had a glint in her eyes that I became so accustomed too. That looks I saw so many times in Lissa and Adrian. I gasped. She was a spirit user.
"You're a spirit user," I said in a shocked voice.
"Yes, I'm. So is Adrian," she sighed dreamily when she spoke of Adrian's name.
"You want Adrian. Is that what you want," I said.
"Yes," She replied, as if I won a million dollars. "He is the one I want. I only wanted him. But you, you! Took him away from me. He never loved me, he only loved you. So I came up with a brilliantly plan. I decided to kidnap you, and I will kill you, when the time is right. Which it will be very soon. Then, I will have Adrian, and nothing can stop me." She began to cackled, a really annoying sound that I never wanted to hear.
"Kelly," I asked shocked.
"No, my name is Avery. Kelly was my twin sister," she glared at me.
"So, why are you here and not Kelly?" I questioned her.
"She died four years ago, right after Adrian broke up with her. He ripped her heart out and stomped on it, like it never mattered. She couldn't help feeling like she was useless. She loves him for years, before they ever started going out. On a lonely night I went to her apartment, to check up on her. I couldn't find her anywhere. But I had to go to the bathroom badly, and didn't think anyone was in there. But there was, and it was horrifying. She was hanging from the ceiling, with a rope tied around her neck. Her eyes were open. They screamed help me! I wished I could have helped her, but it was too late. She had to be there for at least a couple of days. Her body was to the point where it was starting to decay, and maggots were starting to swarm around her. I didn't even know how they, came into her apartment? But they did. She left a note saying revenge me. So I got pregnant, but the only problem was I already was by a Dhampir. So when I saw you in the doctor's office, pregnant. I knew it had to be Adrian's. That was when you were going out with him, unless you cheated on him with another guy."
She sighed, and ran her hand through her hair. "I decided to go ahead with the plan. So when I saw use sitting at Charlie's, I put the plan into effect. I had the waited compel his drink, to think I slept with him a month ago. It was the first time that I did that, and surprisingly it worked. Well you know the rest," she said.
"But why me, Because of you, my children had to grow up without their father for the first eleven months. You are a crazy bitch!" I yelled.
She moved quickly over to me, slapping me across the face with her bare hand. It stung a little, I shook away the stinginess, but I recovered quickly. She went over to one of the operation tables, and crabbed a pair of freakishly large pair of rusted scissors. She quickly walked over to me, with the scissors behind her back. As if she was trying to hide the scissors from me. She had a giant smile on her face. I had a bad feeling something terrible was going to happen.
She was closer to me, too close for my personal taste. She took the scissors, with the opened end pointing to the thick strips of my workout closes, leaving my bra on. She used the scissors to cut the straps, and pulled down my shirt, tearing it off my body. She apparently had a small scalpel in her right hand. She ran her hand across my flat muscular stomach. I tried to move away from her with no success.
She brought the scalpel to my stomach, hard, drawing blood as she went deeper. I was struggling against the chains. I let out a scream, and then I looked into her eyes. She was enjoying it, way too much. She sliced another line on my stomach. Some of my blood landed on my hands, they were getting slippery, and I was almost able to get my hands free from the chain.
With my free foot, I gave one simple, but powerful kick to Avery. She stumbled backwards, as I slipped out of the shackles and landed to the floor. The men's eyes went wide with fear. I guess my reputation proceeds' came into play.
The two Dhampir men rushed over to me. I grabbed the nearest weapon, with was a broom to my right. I shoved the wooden end of the broom into the man's stomach. But not hard enough to pierce through the skin, I threw a punch to the guy number two. He staggered backwards and landed on top of Avery.
Avery regained her composer, faster than any Moroi should have, even with a large man landing on top of her. In her hand was a chainsaw, which had white pieces of dried dust on the blade. She turned it on, coming right towards me; I took the broom and shoved it into the engine. Pieces of wood flew off, and hit her right in the eye. She stumbled backwards, hitting her head on the metal operation table. She blacked out from the pain.
The slightly muscular Dhampir went into a fighting stance. "You can't fight me, little girl. I don't even think you're a guardian," he said smugly.
"I might not be a guardian, but I still have training. Plus, I have killed way more Strigoi, then anyone my age," I told him.
He lunged towards me, as I moved to the side. I did a round house kick to his head, when he wasn't looking. He dropped to the ground, and then growled at me. The other Dhampir, made his self known in the fight. He was sneaking up behind me. I turned so quickly, and dodged his punch. I kicked him where the sun doesn't shine, at the same time I punched him in the face. He landed on the ground face first.
The muscular Dhampir then landed a kick to the back of my knee. I dropped to the floor. His went to punch, came towards me, at the same time I punched him in the knee. Since I was on the ground prior, I reached him first. He landed on his backside, as his head hit the concrete with a thud. He was blacked out.
I ran over to the door, and opened it. I hopped up the steps, with my battered and bloody body. By the time I made it up the stairs, I realized I was still in my town. I was in an old abandoned mortuary, five minutes from my house. I ran out and down the road. I was near the front gate. I saw that it was light out. I quickly pushed the security box on the gate, and then I passed out into darkness.
